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 short 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.

For the next couple of weeks there is major disruption to Bishops road and Folly Lane North.

There is still access to the car park but currently the junction is closed so you’ll need to drive round the block to access. (Subject to change as the works advance). You can still walk in from either direction.

We are very much still open as usual. The pints won’t drink themselves 🪏🍺

27/01/2026

We will be closed Tuesday 3rd Feb - Thurs 5th Feb (inclusive)

The landlord and landlady will be up in the Peak District for a short break to celebrate the Landlady’s birthday 🥳🥳

Back open again on Friday 6th Feb as usual.

Cheers!

🎄🎅 Christmas Hours 🎄🎅

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 💃🔔

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 🛶🛶

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.

❤️❤️🍻🍻
