Formerly a bank dating back to the 1930s, the space has been reimagined into a striking pub complete with nine boutique bedrooms, all-day dining and a new rooftop terrace. Set to become the go-to destination for locals and tourists alike; at the heart of the pub is its menu, which champions the finest seasonal British ingredients. Curated by head chef Ryan Patterson, great care has been taken to utilise produce from local suppliers to celebrate the best of the region, with suppliers including Farnham Family Butchers, which sources its produce sustainably within a 10-mile radius including grass-fed beef.
