I agree entirely with most of the previous comments. It could be a nice place except the staff, rudeness and sometimes the clientele make for a terrible experience in this pub.
Food poisoning is a shame and hopefully a one of mistake - however as for the surly barmaids this is a dead certainty!
I do however believe the market and Alfies are owned by the same chap so what does that say anout a captured market??!!

I have to say a very nice pub to visit - ( i am a competing landlord) but definitely can't complain if people visited this pub. The staff and owners are friendly and the food served if a very high standard. One to visit.

Visited on a sunday evening - 2 people in bar us. The beer was quite disgusting and warm (fosters - not hard to keep) We were not acknowleged at all and received very bad service. I will not be retuning here.

Recently visited this pub about 4 weeks ago - possibly the worst pub i have ever drunk in. The stench from sick and beer not cleaned up made us stand outside in the pouring rain to drink our drink. The drink was also warm. It seems to be the "IN" place to be, which i cant understand as it not cheap either. ONE TO AVOID.

Very spacious pub though.

This pub is part of the new estate they built.
Used to have a big problem with trouble but since they had bouncers and now a tougher landlord the trouble really has stopped.
The pub decor is in really good nick - lots of tv's for the football. Jukebox, Fruit Machines.
Although the food is not homemade it is VERY reasonably priced. 2 meals for �4.95 - excellent.

Nice pub with cracking facilities for kids. The food is great and home cooked. Unfortunately the larger served is "Hofbrau" (something similar to horse ****)and is a bit expensive.

Went to this pub after visiting the curry house across the road. I have never received such bad service in all my life. We waited so long to try and get served whilst the landlord just stood staring at us that in the end we turned round and walked out.
Don't go here if you want to actually get a pint this century.

Nice pub with outside playing area and large car park - wasn't sure what to have off the menu as it had about 60 choices but food did look ok.

This looks like a social club out of shameless - completely out of character for Farnham and Surrey

The Alma is a great looking pub with good beer and a reasonably priced food menu - shame about the current miserable sod of a relief manager - cant wait for a real landlord to come back.

well done for the real ale, however can say it is a shame for a "real" as the last person it not to have sport on tv. (oh apart from the tiny portable in the corner). Not all sports pubs are bad boozers. Food ok, not great though and done at strange times of the week.
