The Alfred Free House

The Alfred Free House Farnham's Beer-Focussed, Independent Free House

Providing a social hub for the community

The Alfred has been owned and operated since 2008 by the Curran family. We’re pub people and work hard to create a friendly and welcoming environment with the best beers and great food. We offer the widest selection of beers in the area from entirely independent breweries and have a great mix of traditional and craft ales across our ever-changing range. Situated in Upper Hale, Farnham we are a sho

rt taxi/bus from central Farnham or a 25 minute walk (be warned, it’s uphill!). We are a friendly, community pub with a chatty, relaxed atmosphere, so don’t be alarmed if someone starts talking to you! We welcome a loyal, local crowd, and are always thrilled to see new faces too.

πŸŽ„πŸŽ… Christmas Hours πŸŽ„πŸŽ…

Largely similar to our normal hours, but with some key changes on Xmas day, NYE etc. The usual madness on Boxing Day with Morris dancing is a key highlight πŸ’ƒπŸ””

As the photo heavily suggests, Mark, Fiona and Benny are having a short break this week.

The nature of this trip is of the barging variety. Benny has taken on roll of cabin boy. But the Captain & Galley Slave roles are yet to be decided…

We hope for a diplomatic solution to this role based quandary, but who even knows πŸ›ΆπŸ›Ά

So the Alf is closed during the week but back open on Friday 12th September. If the cabin boy has managed to hold things together of course.

In what can only be described as a text book β€˜YOLO’ moment and with absolutely nothing to do with the amount of port consumed that evening…

Tickets to Anfield to see Bruce were purchased πŸ™ŒπŸ™Œ

Consequently, on Saturday 7th June, The Alfred will be closed as the landlord and landlady embark on a journey to the sacred land to spend an evening with The Boss!

Pretty sure (and again, nothing to do the port) that they have golden circle tickets too. And why not! They are due a bit of fun after a tricky start to the year β€οΈπŸ™ŒπŸ»

They won’t be returning until the Monday, BUT fear not though, Alice and myself will be opening the Alfred on Sunday 8th. Come and see us for a beer 😁😁

β€”β€”β€”

The following Saturday (14th June), The Alfred is also closed as we are all at a family friends wedding.

This should conclude any changes to the schedule over the summer. Maybe. Until the next port inspired purchase anyway 🀣

Cheers 🍻🍻
