Bears at Packhouse in Waverley

Interesting antiques shop with a nice restaurant

Love the packhouse always find something on every visit

More for the Farnham elite tbh...but it was a nice place...

Lots of lovely thingd to browse over.

Too much imported stuff this time around. I remembered in times past more pre- owned tempting items. The coffee cabin was closed for refurbishment disappointing- and the outdoor sales area was reduced in variety, age, and quantity of stock. Has the ownership changed , I wonder? So, disappointing in comparison from previous visits. I suppose what I'm saying in a gehtle way is that the original wow factor has gone / been diluted. Needs to go back to to what it did best. Otherwise, it becomes something less

Always a really fun day out looking through the Packhouse. They have unique items what are given a second life.

Good parking,multitude of both antique and contemporary pieces over multiple floors,nice coffee cabin and seat,worth a visit,lots of stairs.

Excellent cafe with pods for coffee

Better than the last visit - more on offer. We found the restaurant a bit weird. It is quite a formal restaurant and menu and preferred it when it was more cafe like, but I am rating the shopping experience.

Full of oversize furniture and objects

Would go again but a bit pricey!

I have always loved going to The Pack House and go probably once or twice a month as well as use their restaurant. They sell the most beautiful and unique items and have bought so much from them. However I have been left feeling very disappointed recently as I bought 2 sequin skirts for Christmas with the idea of trying on at home and bringing one back. I took them home to try on, was ill for 3 days, then chose the skirt I wanted to wear that weekend which was the 7th day. By the time I could take it back, they told me it's out of the 7 day return policy by 3 days. I emailed them asking them to waiver it on this occasion as I'm a regular customer and they didn't bother to reply. 7 days just isn't enough time. Please please be a little more helpful and give your customers longer. 14 days would be much better, especially around the Christmas period.

Travelled some distance to visit this retail environment. Went to the coffee shop for refreshments, coffee was luke warm at best and very pricey and would not recommend

OMG what a goldmine. Never been here before but you could easily spend a few hours going over all the floors looking at unusual items. I am sure there is something here for everyone. Additionally the staff are very welcoming and made the visit a treat. Recommend a visit to see what you can spend your money on.

Multi Trader retail site fits under a very broad banner of homewares. Furniture, soft furnishings, decorations, tittle tattle. Great place to nose around and find gifts of unusual nature. Few genuine antiques. Prices inflated to reflect the clientele and affluent Surrey location. Excellent restaurant on same site. Parking plentiful and free. Staff always very friendly. By nature of being a very old building it is largely unsuitable for wheelchair access unfortunately.

Absolutely brilliant, we always visit the Packhouse when we’re in the area and every time we buy something. Such a wide choice of everything.

Always love visiting The Packhouse, especially near Christmas, it's a winter wonderland. Fantastic for presents, so much to chose from

Imerse yourself in a unique lifestyle store in a 400 year-old hop kiln, selling vintage fashions and homeware, with a cafe.

Thought it was meant to be an antique centre. Modern day rubbish.

Christmas Fayre is absolutely fabulous as usual - getting to be a tradition for us now. Free prosecco and mini-mince pie on arrival. The place is a maze, wonderful selection of pictures, postcards, clothing, bric-a-brac and paraphernalia. Shame no craft Market.

I went for the clothing area. Got a superb dress last visit. Nothing I liked this time. Love a wander thru here though!

Amazing place, worth a visit but certainly not a cheap place. Doubt if you will find a bargain here. Allow a good time as there is so much to see.

Some beautiful things, quite pricey. The restaurant was so lovely, and inviting. They deserve a mention.

Plenty to see and look at in a friendly no push to buy and a great coffee house to finish a good day out

An absolute delight shopping here. I dont think they will let me move in, so i am slowly buying everything they have. The service is excellent - from dismantling displays to ensure i had exactly what i was after, to the very helpful, and strong, guy who carried 3 very heavy stone plinths to my car, taking great care over packing them in safely, and refused a tip at the end! Top notch place.

Packed with a myriad of delights, this antique emporium has something for everyone. You may lose hours browsing and not find anything or get the perfect faux-pearl drawer handles in just 10 minutes.

Very quaint and unusual gifts. Nice coffee shop.

My date required me to meet her at the pack house, over an hour late so had plenty of time to browse. The stock they hold is off the chart, i literally found over 5 things that i medically need for my home in Farnham. From silver cutlery to brass pans, total quality and completely old school not to mention the objet d'art, and unbelievable furniture at very good prices. Before you go buying online from alternative sources and get involved with returns, check it. Take a trip to Pack house and hand pick from a shelf, this place owns it, and you get the opportunity to support multiple local tradesmen and dealers.

Omg the food is out standing delicious 😋. Lots of passion in food & flavours . Service 10 out of 10.

Excellent food, service very friendly. Between us had bubble and squeak and prawns. Not exactly tiger prawns but still delicious.

Disappointed with the lunch experience. Club sandwich is NOT a club sandwich as previous reviewer has said it’s very disappointing. Coffee not pleasant either. The stairs to the toilet had food on them and felt very dirty with plates piled up at the back of the restaurant. Used to love visiting Bears at The Packhouse but won’t be going back to them again in Farnham centre.

For me this was disappointing. My main course chicken was tough and the sauté potatoes were new potatoes fried a bit, this was not sauté potatoes. My chocolate brownie was delicious and my daughter’s lunch was very nice. I clearly made a wrong choice. The staff were very apologetic when I mentioned the chicken and didn’t charge me for the main course. However, the all day breakfast the couple had at the next table looked very appetising.

Amazing welcome and food, staff and proprietor so lovely, we drive from Portchester to eat there and a stroll around the town, you need to book as is popular.

Never again! Shocking service and food! My mum had a coffee that tasted like flavoured old water, my dad ordered a club sandwich it was just two pieces of cheap bread barely put together - we had to show them a picture of what a club sandwich was as they looked confused when we questioned in. Goats cheese salad was far to expensive for what it was - one small piece of cheese with leaves swimming in dressing, kids pizza was cheddar cheese on pitta style bread with dried up pieces of cucumber sticks! When we were asked how it was (when we left) they seemed far too relaxed that we weren’t happy and made no apology etc. We were pointed to a table, asked for our orders and given food and that was the only time staff appeared. No one checked how the food was, checked if we would like more drinks etc but still add the service charge on the bill! So many better places to go in Farnham, that are welcoming, polite and serve tasty food! Avoid!

Over priced poor quality food Goats cheese salad consisted of a tasty array of vegetables and salad with a tiny piece of goats cheese very over priced . Also ordered a club sandwich the chef needs to do some homework and look up a club sandwich. It was a sandwich and that was it ,again over priced . Coffee was weak and tasteless Kids pizza again over priced and tasteless Such a shame as we always like to support local businesses.

We booked up with friends for a table at 7pm on Saturday 20th May. We had bought a Groupon voucher for four adults to have a three course meal. The only one item on the menu that was not fully included on the voucher was the T Bone Steak and if you wanted this then I believe you had to pay an £8 supplement. Anyway the choice on the menu was so good that we all had a Starter, Main & Dessert. The Garlic King Prawn Starter was just superb. Two of us had the Lasagne for our Main and they were really terrific. Really cannot find one thing to complain about. We all had such a wonderful evening again and will certainly be back again soon.

Absolutely wonderful brunch in a lovely environment. The Eggs Florentine was magnificent and the full 'Bears' breakfast was excellent too. Very very good.

Amazing restaurant! Got this on a Groupon deal for 4 people. Only time available is Saturday evening which we were pleasantly surprised about! Very friendly welcome from the owner and waiting staff very smiley too. Great choice of food from both main menu and specials! All starters, mains and desserts were delicious!! We will be back! Thank you 😊

I had booked up for the two of us to have a lunch on Monday 13th March at 13:30. Booking is essential, as when we arrived there was literally just our pre-booked table left unoccupied and the rest of the place was full. We had the Sharing Camembert Starter which was really very good and quite filling. My wife had chosen the Croque Monsieur and I had ordered the Bears Breakfast. I think our eyes must have been bigger than our bellies as we also opted to have a side order of Hand Cut Chips with our mains. I was absolutely stunned when the Breas Breakfast arrived!!!! It was unbelievable and such great value. There was two of everything on my plate, Sausages, Bacon, Hash Browns, Tomatoes with a heaped portion of Mushrooms & Baked Beans. There was a choice of eggs and I had opted for Scrambled eggs with mine. It was so delicious and all cooked to perfection with a round of toast and butter to compliment it. Our total bill for all our food and two bottles of Peroni and a glass of 250ml Chardonnay with tip inclusive £61:10. There is literally no room for any complaints and we would both highly recommend food and drinks here. Thank you.

We didn’t know where to eat and found Bears on a map. Luckily they had space for us as it was a busy Sunday lunchtime. Both of us had very tasty lunches - the bubble and squeak was divine! We each had a glass of wine and an after lunch coffee. Show polite attentive staff - great service - a brilliant find

we had diner here on a voucher deal,Good food and excellent value for money, highly recommended will be back

Went for brunch with my son, busy but they managed to squeeze us in. Excellent attentive service, but not pushy. Delicious full English for my son and I had a wonderful plate of poached eggs, avocado and smoked salmon. Lovely presentation.

Wonderful food with pleasant staff we used a Groupon voucher given to us as a Christmas present … wonderful atmosphere we went back 2 days later for just a coffee to warm us up on a cold frosty day …. 2 course meal with excellent choice and plentiful food …. Great staff and pleasant owner Will be back next time with friends

I recently had the pleasure of trying their Egg Royale at Bears Restaurant, and I have to say, it was one of the best lunches I've had in a long time! The meal was cooked to perfection – tender and juicy – and the poached eggs/smoked salmon were soft and full of flavour. The gluten-free toasts were crispy and light. I highly recommend giving this place a try, if you're in the area and looking for a tasty and satisfying lunch and a cup of their amazing lemon/ginger tea. Staff members are friendly, kind, and supportive. I'll be back very soon.

I have just had a delicious breakfast of Avocado on toast with feta and egg. Im intolerant to gluten, no problem they used GF bread. This place has settled into its new location well. Bravo to the team.

Had a breakfast and it was well cooked, presented and served. Great find and will return again when visiting Farnham. Staff really polite and friendly.

Popped in for lunch with my family. The food and service was absolutely lovely. Will definitely come again when in the area.

Came Saturday evening The best 2 course dinner in Farnham. Mario and the staff are so lovely and attentive! Will defo be coming back ! Thank you

Had 3 courses on a Saturday night. Excellent food and lovely service. Friendly and attentive. The wine was great too. Would definitely recommend for the price and in general! The prawn starter was so yummy with wonderful bread.

In the town centre and always busy which speaks volumes; came here for a light lunch twice in one week and the £18.99 seafood sharing plate was just the ticket. Friendly efficient service. I'll be coming here on a regular basis from now on!

Sadly felt let down for what it cost, wouldn't recommend for afternoon tea, very basic, no nice China, and big slabs of cake cut down to look fancy, sorry guys, but not value for money

We called in by chance as we had been in town shopping. The place was half full and we were given a table by the window. We only wanted a light lunch and a drink, and this was just perfect. The food was superb as...

Wow!! First time visiting but definitely won’t be the last. The service was excellent, and continued through the dinner as the place became busy. Food was tasty, definitely worth the value and a good range of dishes and drinks. They even went out of their...

A present from daughter and such a lovely treat. Great food, wine, ambience and lovely staff, just perfect, thank you! We will be back.

We went here for our anniversary tonight and the staff were so attentive and the food was wonderful. Its not a large menu but every thing on it was perfectly cooked. It was a lovley restaurant and will return again.

Popped in for mother/daughter lunch and what a treat! I’m of Sicilian heritage so rarely eat out for Italian food as it’s often a disappointment. Not today. Authentic Italian pasta dish from the specials board - rich sauce, very fresh and a generous portion. I...

Went for dinner this evening. Food was amazing as was our server Sophie, could not fault either. Food was perfect and portions were quite large. Will def be visiting again and will recommend to everyone I know.

Had a lovely lunch with a friend and enjoyed it so much I went back the same evening with my other half. The staff are so relaxed and friendly yet super efficient. We had a light meal at lunchtime which was delicious and then a...

I dined in Bears with my family for a quick evening meal. We had Calamari and the fish cake as a starter and halloumi burger and chicken as a main and we all enjoyed our meal. Next time we will keep a bit of space...

We had breakfast which was so good. Have enjoyed lunch there other times. More Vegetarian options please

Biggest thanks to Mark who kindly and carefully loaded the heavy chairs in to my car. Very friendly employee of the pack house with great customer service - Cheers!

rustic garden stuff, house decor stuff, jewelry and loads of old stuff displayed in a warren of cosy rooms

Huge selection of antiques crammed into every nook and corner of a beautiful, old building. Make sure to stop for some food at the restaurant next door - the pods are fun!

A lovely place to visit! Have been a few times and always find a lovely treasure for my home! Had a very tasty panini at a very reasonable price. Staff are very friendly and helpful.

Sitio increíble, puedes encontrar de todo.

Not that cheap but fun amble around all the nooks and crannies of this sprawling emporium, mostly new stuff but not stuff you see on high street, statement pieces for the home

I met with a friend and we both wanted somewhere independent and had heard about Bears. My friend has been recovering from major surgery and was looking forward to her outing. After pottering around Farnham Town Centre we popped in and managed to get a...

Great veggie/vegan breakfast but hugely limited any other time of day. No vegan option for afternoon tea (in fact mocked for asking) and vegetarian option requires some staff training, not all cheeses are vegetarian, along with better options. Lovely friendly waitress and we weren't rushed...

Stopped by this afternoon on our way to Bognor. Clearly signposted. Great service, very friendly. My minute steak ciabatta was lovely. Very pleasing!

Must go back and have a longer visit. . The place is packed 20/3/22 .... 2nd visit .. if you looking for something different for you home ... thus place is full of all kinds of treasures

We arrived on Saturday at just gone noon. Anna and her team made us very welcome, and as walk-ins without a reservation we were swiftly seated. We had arrived a little too late for the breakfast menu, but it was not a problem, as we...

Love it here. Great place to spend a couple of hours or longer! browsing all the nice things they have for sale.

Four of us went on Monday 7th March for lunch. We were celebrating a birthday and just wanted a lovely quiet meal with good food and drinks. This was certainly achieved without any problems. The service is as usual impeccable, and although I didn't know...

Thank you to Bears for another lovely meal, we wouldn’t expect anything less. The staff are so welcoming and always go over and beyond our expectations. They are also happy to accommodate every special request which we so appreciate. Unsure why a couple of reviews...

Met some friends for lunch and as always the staff, food and ambience didn't disappoint. We love the coziness in Bears and there is nothing they wont do for you to ensure a comfortable, pleasant stay. Well done team Bears, a little gem of a...

A beautiful little gem in the heart of Farnham. We have been here a few times now and have always had a great experience, delicious menu and lovely atmosphere. Highly recommend the seafood station on the menu!

The biggest selection of items you could imagine. Mostly new old world stuff rather than bric-à-brac. Cafe was not open when we arrived on Saturday

Lovely lunch at The Palm restaurant. Lovely shop to walk around

Great antique place and restaurant

Been a handful of times now and look forward to going again just to try more items on the menu! The staff are friendly and accommodating the atmosphere is always lovely and I look forward to returning!

Multi business store for antique and 60/70's furniture and goods for both indoor and outdoor use. Restaurant and coffeehouse on site

Enjoyed a browse round the Aladdin's cave of this antiques store, with endless little rooms filled with antiques, home ware and garden ornaments. There's something to suit every budget, and the staff are polite and friendly.

We have visited Bears on four occasions as a couple each time they would only put us either next to the bar or by the door where they have tables for two. They won’t seat couples on tables for four (the nice part of this...

Great shopping experience. Unusual Quirky & Quality stuff. Modern & Antique.

Very good repro furniture store some antique bits. Food available in next door.

Treasure trove of goodies...lovely visit with a lunch at the Palm House. Perfect for a Sunday mooch.

What an amazing little gem this is x

Love this place. Everything beautifully displayed & great choice.

We booked up with six of us having a meal on Saturday evening 11 Dec at 7pm. It really is a wonderful place and this is highlighted by the fact it always appears very busy. We had a table near the bar area and nearly...

love this place just a shame customers are rude

Love to come here. So much to see and buy for your home and garden. Eclectic, modern, antique. Treat yourself

Apparently a nice restaurant, but it is layer out predominantly with table for four people. We have visited four times now, each time we were declined a table which seated four. The problem is that the two person tables are the worst situated, next to...

First time here, a tough crowd of 30 or so people for a Christmas dinner. Excellent food, great service and a really impressive experience. I will definitely go back!! Well done guys 👏

Popped in for lunch today and wow it was amazing! The staff where so lovely and friendly and made sure we had anything and everything we could have needed. The food was so good and pricing was great - especially for Farnham. We will definitely...

Unusual place to visit but interesting as new gifts some expensive, and some antiques worthy of visit. Believe you have to book to eat but not sure if that. Nice food and staff.

Amazing place with so much stuff.wirth the visit and has the Caffè and restaurant.

Eclectic range of high end homeware, furniture, garden and gift items.

Popped in for breakfast this morning (16/11/21) and what a real treat it was - excellent service and very tasty food and coffee. Lovely breakfast choices. Friendly atmosphere - we will definitely be back.
