Friendly and good quick service. The music is not too loud which is often what ruins a pub! Could possibly be a few more cosy soft/ armchairs, but it's my local and I like it!

Our Sunday walk and photography ended abruptly with loud thunder as we walked through St Giles churchyard. So we dashed to the pub expecting to only get drinks and crisps. I haven't been in the change of horses for a very long time and didn't know they do Sunday lunch! So having lunch was a lovely surprise, a great atmosphere in the pub and fantastic service. I had the fish goujon baguette - very fresh and delicious crispy fish. My daughter really enjoyed a large chicken Caesar salad. Will try to find out what the food service times are and come back.

This is an old favourite of mine, been going here since my children were young (1980s) It has had a makeover recently, but care has been taken not to spoil its character, car parking is limited but there is on street parking and a 358 bus stop outside with a regular 15 minute service each way from Orpington to Crystal Palace via Bromley Beckenham etc Very dog friendly. The address is Farnborough High Street not Orpington.

I don't usually leave reviews but felt compelled to do so after a very disappointing Sunday lunch with the family for Mothers Day. We booked for an earlish lunch at 12:45 with 5 adults and 1 child. Meals had been pre ordered with it being mothers day. Pub wasn't that busy when we arrived, our table we were shown to was all sticky from sat evenings split beer and drinks so we asked for a cloth for it to be wiped. The napkins had stuck to the stickiness on the table. Despite asking a number of times a cloth didn't get brought over to wipe the table until we were part way through eating our starters which meant it was awkward to try and clean the table whilst we were eating. The Mothers Day menu included a glass of prosecco for the mums (3 of us in total in our party) but despite other tables being brought their prosecco on arrival for all the mums in the party we were not so had to ask for this and then they just bought over the one glass not the 3 so had to request these to be brought. As we had my 4 year old son with us whose meal didn't include a starter we asked if his roast could be brought out as soon as it was ready. He was getting quite hungry but eventually his roast was not brought out until after all out starters and all our main courses. The worst part of all came with the service of our main courses. 2 roasts were brought out and given to the table next to us. Then the server returned to kitchen and brought 2 more roasts to our table. At this point the waitress realised the first 2 roasts given to table next to us were supposed to be for us so she went and took them off of them and brought over to us. I explained we didn't feel comfortable to eat food that had already been given to another table and had sat in front of them for the past 5 mins so she said that's OK she would go out back and swap them. I didn't trust this so I said no that food should have been left with who you had given it to so she then took it back to their table. I just couldn't believe this poor service to try and offer us food that had been sat down in front of other diners. Was so disappointed as we have been previously and enjoyed our meals in the past but this service and lack of apology or anything to rectify the situation such as offer of drink whilst we wait etc etc really let the whole experience down for us

The new menu is great, the food is better than most pubs around , prices are good, but the best was the service...Very friendly, attentive to details, engaging and constant check of our food and drinks. Catherine, the barmaid, really looked after us extremly well. I would recommend the chicken catzu curry, spicy but not too much...a delight.Thank you to all.

What a very weird coincidence- not from round the area but have friends down this neck of the woods. Last year we visited a pub in westerham after a walk in chartwell and today we visited the change of horse with a local friend and to our surprise we run into the same barmaid that worked in the westerham pub last year. As mentioned in previous review this particular young lady (who shares the same name as myself and I’m told the owner who I hope sees this review) Jayden. Her service is impeccable. From the minute we walked in the door to the minute we left we felt welcomed and looked after. She was rushed off her feet as she appeared to be the only staff working but that didn’t stop her. We ordered from the special’s menu starter and main for £12 and we’re not disappointed. The food was great we had the soup to start followed by a chilli and my friend a ploughman’s which were both lovely although the rice tasted like a pre made packet however at the price i would not complain. We decided after the lovely Jayden told us how good the desserts were to have chocolate cake which was to die for and a crumble which was delicious even if the portion size was very different. A couple of whiskeys in, nice food and wonderful service I decided to enquire about a Christmas Day booking. A little disappointed to hear that they were unsure if serving food when it seems the rest of the industry has sold out but alas did not have an impact on my experience. I’ve said it before and I will say it again Jayden’s service is outstanding we did not want for anything even after a busy day. Service charge well deserved. This pub could absolutely thrive with its good food, incredible staff. I just hope on my next visit it’s busier with more atmosphere

This was the first pub, as an individual, I went to in 1981. I believe it's been through a few managers since then. It's a lovely pub inside, full of character and has a decent garden, for those wishing to be outside. It also has a function room you can hire. I have been back several times on the last year. The staff are generally very polite but they could do with a uniform or code of dress, as some of the women dress as though they are working at Kings Cross, if you get what I mean? The food can be hit and miss also. I've had a fabulous meal there and a not so good meal. Maybe there were different chefs on. It is worth a visit, though, and definitely worth supporting.

I went to get the second round in and ended up waiting 10 minutes like a lemon because they were constantly serving their friends who came in after me. I asked to be served but was always told "Be with you in a sec" and they weren't. Eventually I walked away. Unacceptable and rude behaviour.

Charged £6 service charge that was not expected. Was not told before the meal or on the menu this would be added. Was not told we did not have to pay it. Our service was pretty dire to be fair and did not deserve a mandatory "tip". We eat out all the time and have been stung only twice in 10 years by a "service charge". Food was good. Nice place.

Went for Christmas Eve drink and was disappointed that no safe COVID restrictions in place! Pub was over crowded, not enough bar staff to cope with demand, tables not being cleared of glasses or wiped down no air circulation. Appreciate hospitality need to make money while they can just feel pub loans lords should be keeping on top of what is going on in their pub. Not comfortable to stay so we left along with a lot of people who came in saw how busy it was and turned around and left. Hospitality go on about how they have suffered during this pandemic when they are busy are unprepared! NO EXCUSE!!!

In past years, we have held our motorcycle club reunions at the Change of Horses until it closed abruptly in 2017. We were very pleased to find that it had reopened and booked it for our 2021 renewal. I can honestly say that it was a real pleasure to be back. The pub and function room have had a makeover, yes, but the biggest improvement is in the extremely helpful, efficient and friendly staff and the quality of the food. We ordered a buffet which was both plentiful, varied and absolutely delicious. The pub has a friendly vibe, with a lovely garden and ample parking in the heart of Farnborough Village and every effort seems to have been made to enhance your experience from the moment you arrive. Everything in the function room was spotlessly clean on arrival and it was well ventilated with direct access to the garden. We will definitely be seeking to re-book for our next reunion and I would recommend the Change of Horses to anyone. If you are in the area, definitely worth a visit.

We have been several times now for lunch and each time the food has been good and very well served, the service good and welcoming and even with Covid it is a pleasant place to be. They are strict about sanitising and the various rules and we felt quite safe there. I only live 250 Yd away so it is great to be able to walk round but they have an adequate car park. If you havent been since the latest reopening they have spent a lot inside and opened up the old back- rooms so they are pretty much all-in-one now. Have just rebooked for Friday!

Estaba muy decepcionado con la experiencia general de este pub! Siempre he sido residente de Farnborough y me entristeció cuando el pub cerró, ya que siempre había sido amigable para los niños y fue un placer visitarlo y local para nosotros.Así que me complació escuchar que se había reabierto. Me habían dicho que la comida (especialmente las hamburguesas) eran de 5 estrellas.Así que fuimos, con 4 niños, 2 de ellos son autistas. En primer lugar, nos dijeron que los niños no podían ir al jardín, lo cual fue un poco decepcionante, entiendo que es invierno y obviamente no quieren que el barro sea arrastrado a su pub (y aparte de la sala de actos) también tienen una pequeña habitación que uno hubiera pensado, que a estas alturas, podrían salir para que los niños vayan a jugar. . . . ?El pub no estaba lleno y los niños se pusieron un poco escandalosos, el personal del bar no podría haber sido más hostil, ¡no es que incluso tuvieran que decirnos algo, su aspecto solo podría haber sido usado como armas! Nos hicieron sentir muy incómodos, hasta el punto de que sentimos que deberíamos irnos y obviamente no volveremos allí. No es apto para niños y la hamburguesa que tuve no era nada especial, el tocino y la hamburguesa estaban muy secos. Sin embargo, buenas fichas, y Prosecco tiene un precio razonable, pero aparte de eso, no creo que puedas pagarme para que vuelva allí. No es un pub para niños y el personal del bar no te hace sentir bienvenido.Una verdadera decepción en general. ¡Tener niños a quienes les encanta correr y ser felices preferiría elegir el Rose & Crown en A 21 CUALQUIER DÍA!

Just glad to see it re opened. Went there last Friday, and found the place open and doing very good business. First the decor is a bit of modern distressed chic, that means church pews, chapel chairs, cast iron Brunell pub tables, wood burning stove, central bar, reclaimed wood floor, horse brasses. , 1930 club winged armchairs Food was available, and I opted for the Friday special Cod and chips, priced very reasonable at £7. Made sure that before I ordered, I saw what the dish looked at when someone else was served with the dish. But it came out very large and hot, very crispy batter, hot peas, and very nice chips. I loved the chips, but other people might not, they mus have been triple cooked, all the outside was super crispy, but he inside was devoid of the fluffy bit inside. The staff were very nice and helpful, and seemed to be very busy doing all sorts of jobs. The manager lit the fire for one couple especially, a very nice gesture.As to beer, I drank the Harveys Sussex bitter, and very nice it was too. I tend to travel a few miles for this beer so the Change of Horses it now on my list.

Great food, great vibe, great staff with warm welcome all that you would want from a village pub. I have experienced a weekday lunchtime taking my eldery father in law who was delighted with the senior citizen menu and the staff so understanding with my austic nephew and how he has his lunch served...I have been an evening during week same great service, food etc...and finally thought we try a Saturday eve and we were not disappointed!

Went here for an impromptu lunch with family. Drink prices are ugh like London rip off levels but without the finesse. Guinness only too thirds full, no choice of quality wines by the glass and over priced pints. We had a selection of foods for lunch. Food was semi warm, greasy and just tipped onto the plates. We were not asked if we enjoyed our meal but the nearly full plates were just whisked away. Seems all the attention and service is given to the gaggle of locals at the bar. This is so sad as this place has a captive local audience but is falling way short of the enticing place it could be. Get a grip guys and maximise your potential or you'll go the way of so many other local pubs. That would be a earl shame.

I recently took my parents, their friends and my dog here for my mums birthday. It’s our first visit, and certainly will not be our last. As soon as we walked in we felt welcomed not only by the staff but the locals as well. The food was out of this world, the portions were fantastic and the prices were very reasonable. We had a lovely afternoon and will be coming back very soon. The staff really did make every effort to ensure we had a good time, and the dog got spoilt rotten with attention and treats! Perfect afternoon!

Bar Staff Friendly and efficient. Arrived about 1230pm, but the premises were well patronised. I had been here before, over two years ago, but this place has been transformed by the new Publican. The Garden was smart, welcoming, and pleasant to sit is on this hot sunny day, much nicer than our previous experience. Inside the premises were clean, smart, and light... unlike before. I arrived with my wife, two sons, one of whom had brought his young lady, plus my Grandson. This visit was enjoyed by all, but I have to add that the food was plentiful and good value. I had a whole dressed fresh crab, which arrived with poached king prawns, salad and new pots. At about £13.00 I considered this excellent value, given the quality. One of my sons had the Rib Eye Steak, plus all the extras that usually come with it. Now this son is pedantic when it comes to his food, but nothing was left on his plate and the steak arrived rare, as ordered, which often has not happened at other venues.I believe that the cost of this was just over £15.00 and was, again, good value. My other son had the Ham, egg and chips...He left nothing and the food that arrived was plentiful. I could go on, and on, regarding the other food selected and cost, but I suspect you now have the general idea.

Tenía una preciosa casa tarta cordero hizo acuñada. Mi esposa tenía una hamburguesa, que era perfecta y nuestro amigo, pescado y patatas fritas, lo que nos encantó. La comida era de buena calidad, las verduras, agradable y fresco y buenas porciones de tamaño. Soy un chef y yo estaba impresionado con el personal y la comida.

Visitamos tarde un martes. El personal era muy amable y había un agradable ambiente tranquilo. Cuando la comida llegó que en el porciones gasped. Un muy completo plato de comida tradicional casera que sabía increíble. La mejor comida en un pub local que he tenido en mucho tiempo. Definitivamente volveré de nuevo.

Visited today for a Sunday lunch with my son. The staff were friendly and attentive. The Sunday roast (turkey) was lovely. A great family pub and lovely garden. Will return.

Visitamos el último domingo para el almuerzo con mi marido y mi hija. Visite el pub utilizada para mucho como familia vivía cerca. El pub ha sido reformado y de hecho no necesitan un poco de cuidado, pero lamentablemente, no ha perdido su encanto antiguo y el interior y el ambiente lo hace un lugar bastante impersonal. Pedimos nuestras cenas asado en el bar, y mi marido hizo una ronda de bebidas. Por el momento nuestra cena fue debido decidimos coger otra ronda de bebidas, así que (Femenino! Fuimos al bar). Sentado en la esquina del bar había claramente la 'gente', no hay ningún problema con eso. Me paraba y esperamos y esperamos y esperamos que mientras las mujeres me ignoró y el personal del bar, debidamente la gente sentados en el bar que no eran ni siquiera con su dinero cuando recién llegué al bar y otro caballero que llegó en el bar después de que tenia y que sirvieron antes a mí también! Yo estaba absolutamente impresionados de ver como la gente de estar en la esquina del bar podía ver claramente esperando, y sabían que yo era antes de ellos, pero siendo los caballeros, que claramente no son, continuó para avisar al camarero servir ellos. Volví a la mesa, sin bebidas y mi marido luego fuimos al bar donde sirven sorpresa, sorpresa se puso enseguida! Claramente, salvo que seas un tipo que ignorará los casos! El asado estaba bien, pero nada especial teniendo en cuenta el precio y hay muchos otros bares en la zona que sirven comida muy buena. Lo que trae a la mente el Bo Peep en Pueblo Chelsfield bar donde todo el personal son mujeres y que claramente no tienen un problema atender otras 'hembras'! Y sus asados del domingo son tops!

Nuestra segunda visita en pocas semanas. No habíamos estado en este pub hace algunos años y me di cuenta de las mejoras de los nuevos propietarios cuando visitamos recientemente. Lo disfrutamos por entonces regresar hoy para otra comida. Tuve una excelente ensalada Caesar de pollo (uno de mis favoritos) y mi esposa tenía una versión de cangrejo que disfrutamos. Las bebidas eran buenas, una buena elección también - y la comida que se sirve en un tiempo razonable y obviamente recién preparados. Bastante concurrida, lo que siempre es una buena señal, especialmente a la hora de comer. Asientos cómodos, un agradable jardín en la parte trasera y el pub Aparcamiento colindante. Nos dimos cuenta de su clasificación de higiene alimentaria de 4, que está bien. En la lista de "visita obligada" de nuevo y nos complace ver algunos amigos llegan ya que acababa de terminar, después de haber recomendado a ellos.

Disappointed today as food was not up to usual standards. Roast beef was chewy, green veg sparse and over cooked. Service was good, with a smile too. Will visit again.

Three of us went to local pub at 3.30 pm this Sunday. All fine until yelling from the other end of the pub disrupted conversation. Continued loud voices whilst waiting for food. Very average Sunday roast. One had steak and kidney pie which I feel that it must have been kept warm since the morning as pastry like rubber and meat dried out. When asked for the desert menu at 4.30 advised that they had stopped food even though well advertised inside and outside food served till 6.00pm. Very disappointed in attitude of staff as gave no reason why. Some swearing by customers who do not have any regard for others dining in the pub with family. This used to be my regular for 40 years but only rarely go there now due to the noise and lack of village atmosphere. The opposite of the fantastic woodman pub over the road which I highly recommend.

Me and my partner decided to visit this pub with our 3 children after a recommendation from a friend.First impressions when entering was that it was a good clean pub tho maybe lacking on home comforts.We approached the bar where we were greeted with a smile by a young girl who seemed smartly dressed and very happy to be at work all be it on a Sunday. I said we were there to eat but would firstly like to order some drinks. After establishing our drinks by showing me the wine list and telling my husband what beers were on offer the young lady (unfortunately did not catch her name) turned her focus on the children and made it a fun game as to what they would like to drink. Suitably impressed with these efforts to make us all feel at ease. We took a sit. After letting us settle the girl brought us over a menu and told us what was the specials for that day. Also although weather wasnt permitting told us there was a garden with children play area out the back.We ordered our food late afternoon and sat back and enjoyed what seems a very friendly and chilled atmospher. Perfect for a Sunday! !!.The food was excellent quality and throughly enjoyed by us all. Great Sunday roast. Slight disappointment in the ice cream front, no vanilla but quickly resolved by alternative flavours. Overall we loved this pub nothing was too much trouble. Will definitely be returning in the summer to make use of the play area and garden.Fantastic

Have known the Change of Horses for 40 years, many owners and bar staff- have visited twice this week, back to the area for the school holidays - great to see new decoration and new team of staff but same atmosphere that has brought me back time and time again. Know why my parents go back time after time.Didn't eat this time, but have used it for many different occasions - family meals, parties and celebrations. Nice outdoor space too, though not sampled in February

Fast bar service but young staff were a little abrupt. Landlady was welcoming. Sat in the 'hall' like area but away from the loos, very cold on the day. My Roast beef and my wife's lamb were both served piping hot and tasted fine, would recommend. We will visit when it's warmer. Drinks were a little pricey, £10 beer and a wine.

Not been here for a while, now I'm. Neros fan. Been in Neros once today already so decided to revisit Costa. What a mistake! Had a decaff latte that tasted like it was made with UHT milk. It was also missing a crucial ingredient -- coffee! Service was also disappointing with a surly man barking out orders to a young lady (who used to work in Neros, strangely enough!). Neros is across the road so do yourself a favour and head there.

Absolutely terrible. First and last time we go. We thought we would go enjoy a pre dinner drink. Sign clearly says "Over 25" when you walk in, yet we had to walk around 2 baby strollers and 4 children running around. There was zero music or ambiance. Over priced drinks. Won't be going back.
