Expected to hate this pub but... its not that bad. Just doesnt do anything special. The drinks are expensive, music can be a bit much on the weekends. Doesn't really spin my wheel. I can take it or leave it to be honest.

Decent pub, never eaten here but the beer is generally ok. Seems to be trying live music on Sundays lately, the open mic I went to was really good, lively with a good mix of performers (wasnt sure about the 23minute prog rock epic though!) Keep finding myself in here more and more often.

As a general rule I dont like these places but farnham's slug is not a bad one. Well looked after, quite smart, safe, spotless toilets etc. If your into this type of 'pub' your going to like it. One word of advice though... never drink the ale, I have never had an acceptable pint in the place.

really like this place. does exactly what it says on the tin. No pretentions, its not up itself, just an honest boozer. This place tries really hard and always has something going on. Give it a chance on one of the live music nights you will be pleasantly surprised.

I have friends who are getting excited about this pub since the refurb but im struggling to match their enthusiasm. Dont get me wrong the place looks good, food is pricey but good, barmaid has the best smile ive ever seen, boring greene king beers are acceptable, its all just a bit... meh
Think maybe it is suffering from an identity crisis.
C'mon the Albion, decide where you want to be in the market and put some effort in... Oh and fix that bloody front door from slamming every time someone comes in!

filthy dirty and smelly and some of the staff and management can be just plain rude BUT... it does offer arguably the best range of real ale in town and if your lucky enough to get a table it can be a cracking night. Just make sure you drink up bang on time (staff are happy to serve you at last orders but not happy for you to drink it!) and remember to wipe your feet on the way out!

good little pub, beer in good nick (and im generally not a fullers fan) guest beers are good and are often from the proper half of the country. Great after work crowd, especially in summer. One of the best in the town.

Plough, Farnham
Consider this pub to be my local so im probably going to be biased but...
The owners have been here a year now and are well settled with the growing army of locals which includes young and old, students and citizens. Their regular nights are good fun - quiz, open mic etc and the party/charity nights are really great.
I have never had a bad beer in this pub. ever.
The food is good value and actually homecooked - Sunday roasts are amazing.
The tireless efforts of Alix and Neil are obvious and should be applauded. Remember, this pub is fighting against a bad history and a licensing authority that seem to be trying their upmost to cause problems for what should be Farnhams busiest pub.
If you have not been in here yet, its been a bloody year! Whats wrong with you?
