The Lamb in Waverley

How is this place still open? Major damp/mould problems means it STINKS and must be a genuine health hazard. Incredibly miserable manager (landlord?) who rolled his eyes when he saw us waiting at the bar. A real shame, it used to be a great spot for sport. I won’t be going back. Farnham is full of pubs that are far better and healthier than this one.

Good for sport, friendly pub. Reasonable prices.

An interesting place that may well have been better visted on another day. The service was pleasant enough and there were only two regulars in there apart from us. A very large area in front of the bar gives plenty of space and there is a very pleasant beer garden out the back. There just seemed to be something missing- not sure what - and I suppose this is what happens when you pop in for a one-off visit, you don't get the whole story. The Guinness was lovely as was the Spitfire.

I'm Scottish and I watched the 2019 Calcutta cup here. First half was full of name calling and fun making by the locals. Second half was really quite quiet (apart from me). Nice place.

I only stopped in for 1 drink and had the pleasure of meeting David (the landlord) I really don’t understand how you can talk to people that you don’t know in such a disrespectful and aggressive manner, especially when they are being polite and maintaining that politeness through your inappropriate outbursts. I hope you manage to overcome the troubles that you have in your life that are so apparent that you feel the need to project them on to other people.

Very unpleasant smell inside. Shame, years ago used to be one of the best pubs in town.

We had our work "Private Christmas Party" at the Lamb in December. We ordered in an Indian Takeaway, plus booked Glen for his Karaoke and Disco. It was a fabulous evening and we all (35of us) had a great time! It was the 3rd year in a row that we chose the Lamb because it is a lovely size for a party, the Landlord is always very nice and couldn't do more to make it a great night for us. Glen also does a great job on the Karaoke and gets lots of people up to sing. I highly recommend The Lamb for a party!

Went in there for 1 pint with a group of friends for new years eve and we were met by the most miserable, depressed and unenthusiastic man I've ever met behind the bar. It was most expensive pint of Fosters I've ever seen, I expect it was so expensive because people don't stay for a second pint. We left quickly as the bar man made it clear he didn't want us there.

This is by far and large the worst pub in farnham. Awful atmosphere and service. If you are going out in Farnham avoid this pub at all costs and use any of the other pubs in the area that will provide you with a much much much better experience. Furthermore, the land lord is extremely rude. Further edit (19th Dec 2023) Interesting to see most of the one star reviews are from minorities, interestingly the bad experience I had involved many minorities in our party...

Awful - rude landlord. The most depressing pub in farnham.

We turned up with some friends for a drink and were immediately turned away by the owner who refused to serve us and gave us no explanation. Sad to still see racist establishments in the UK.

We were recommended this pub by some locals for their friendly atmosphere but it was clear that this was not the case. As soon as we walked in, the barman said that he would not be dealing with us and refused to let us in and order a round of drinks, without any explanation of why we would be served. Rather poor for a place that was not busy.

Was in town over the bank holiday weekend and had been next door at William Cobbett for a round and were reccommended to stop by The Lamb. Got there, quiet atmosphere, the barman immediately got very hostile when he saw our group walk in. Refused us service with the reason being ‘Theres only me behind the bar and im not going to deal with this’. Clearly didnt want the business and by the showing of people in there they clearly need it.

This place is really awful, I have never once reviewed a pub badly because I love pubs but this place was so bad. The landlord has some personal demons he needs to confront.

We watched the playoff finals over the bank holiday. Nice and quiet, good beer, just about perfect for what we were after.

Friendly atmosphere, dog friendly great gig with The Hedge Inspectors, Fate of the Magpie and Wyrd Sisters.

Lovely place. Friendly staff too. There aren't many places in farnham that you can get a beer with some football/music. This is one 👍

Very nice and friendly pub, and the landlord is a very nice guy

Nice little pub, big screen TV, real ales.

Lovely little pub Landlord very friendly Quant little garden

Decent guinness. Decent landlord. Decent staff. And what boozer allows you to order pizza from outside and eat. Quality.

Beautiful pub but the most unwelcoming landlord I have ever met. 2nd time i have been but never again. We were very well oiled but I thought he was joking but he real is very rude.

Visited this pub met up with a friend for a cupl pints n games of pool I have to say this pub is very friendly and nice to have a drink in...

Lovely, cosy pub. Roaring fire and plenty of screens for live sport

Quiet pub but worth a visit. Tiny garden but lots of space inside and friendly staff.

Great sports pub. Non pretentious good atmosphere

The Lamb is a proper pub. Not too loud and bar-y - got Bishop's Finger tucked away. David's a nice landlord. Occasionally, it feels a a bit tasty.

Many precautions in place to protect customers against covid. Tables kept very clean and social distancing being obviously adhered to. Comforting to customers that want to ensure they can keep safe. A good bet if you want to visit somewhere without fearing that you are putting yourself at risk. Sadly food currently not being served due to the pandemic, but they have a good selection of bar snacks!

Came upon this lovely pub by chance as it is tucked away in a street outside the main town centre. The Lamb is well worth a visit as it is a most friendly pub with a very pleasant landlord (Dave). Appears to be mainly a locals pub with, perhaps, passing trade accessed by a walk through from the main A31. A good selection of ales, spirits, wines together with coffee; I had an excellent cappuccino on my last visit. This pub also serves a selection of savoury snacks and chocolate. There is 'live' sport available on the many tv screens throughout the pub. My partner and I visit The Lamb most evenings and have never been disappointed with the service. With the present Covid pandemic this pub needs your valued support as it would be a shame if this establishment closed.

It's a typical local pub.no frills just good well managed beer and a local atmosphere. With good landlord and friendly staff.

I regularly visit this pub, as I think it’s a nice place to visit. It has recently been decorated both inside and outside, so is now much easier on the eye. It has a back garden, as well as seating in front, (the latter is great for catching the afternoon sun!) They have some traditional pub games such as darts and pool, so it is good if you are coming in with friends, but if like me, you come in on your own, you’ll find the bar staff friendly and easy to chat to. They have a number of televisions for sport too and a selection of real ales.

Shockingly rude customer service, not worth a penny

Great pub, especially on music nights friendly staff

Recently visited this place and I recommend.

Used to come here a lot in my youth . Back for Christmas, so me and friends gave it a visit . Still nice and comfy , good service

Nice little pub and the staff are friendly and helpful

No atmosphere atall. Never been to such a sorry pub. When there is a fight or football gets a bit busier but only because everywhere else is busy or isn't showing sport. Could be a decent place making alot more money, shame

Nice lunch spot great views all round

Decent pub, good place to watch the game

It's got character AND Sky Sports!

Great place to drink.....and I'm from the west Midlands.

It's fine. Average beers, below average atmosphere but good if you want to watch some sports.

Nice pub with friendly staff. Good food and decor

Pleasant exterior but dark and uninspiring inside. Only one Shepherd Neame ale on tap (Master Brew) which was disappointing. Could do with a makeover.

Nice place for watching football

Odd place, frequently entirely empty and not even trying to get custom. The guy actually looks a bit confused when people walk through the door. And rightly so, I suppose. We joke sometimes that it's a front. Well, half joke. Comes to life on match days though, and has a decent pool table and the occasional Chas n Dave act.

This is a pub pub.. Lots of screens. Good if you want to watch sport..

Basic but cozy and welcoming pub. Well worth a visit. Frequent live music evening's and a good selection of beers.

Very quiet, but very good bar staff.

Good selection of tv's for the football.

Often shows sport but gets packed so get there early

Never been and will not return! The staff were nice, dodgy pint sold but the real trauma of the night was the 'talents' of the Wyrd Sisters 'band'.

Great place to watch the World Cup. Good atmosphere, beer excellent and good ambience. No food (except crisps) which is an over sight IMHO.

Went along to the ukulele jam night. so the pub is typical and comfy. Some real beers and lagers on tap so that's nice. The decor good do with a refresh. But all in all I would use this has my local - if I was local.

Great fun at Ukejam, really crowded but everyone joined in!

Very friendly and good Guinness... say no more. Will be back.

Nice and mellow on school nights even if busy with Live music often Wednesday and alternate Thursday . Regulars pub during week and often at weekend with sometimes passing trade Livening things up !!!

Very cosy and good range of beer. Great atmosphere with Lots of screens for watching the rugby six nations. football also available simultaneously on other screens too if you want it. Great pub

Great pub for sport, the landlord is the friendliest and most accommodating I've ever come across. Goes above and beyond to ensure every customer is happy and comfortable.

Ok for a quiet pint but not much going on there...

Good food. Especially the goat's cheese panini. We like the 80s arcade machine. 4 pool tables upstairs.

Rugby on the TV. Nothing special.

Friendly staff, good beer exceptionally clean toilets!! Always have an amazing time here. Stones throw from the station.

Amazing pub with brilliant music nights. Catch the Wyrd Sisters and guests here with their bi-monthly folk music event, free admission.

Best pub in town for sport (4 large HD TVs, 1 in each corner of pub) and there is no minimum for card. There's also a pool table and it's free on Mondays.

We enjoyed an expensish bottle of very ordinary plonk there, and I think that our ageing black lame Labrador Bella was not that happy. Anyway, she stuck to our guns and spent a full two hours there. Apparently, she told me, the mens' lavatories were quite good. Anyway, it is a sports bar, so I am not totally convinced that we should have been in there to start with....but, if we had not been there (a Saturday at 3.00pm) there would have been no one there at all.

Quiet. Cricket on the big screen very reasonable price.

It's a nice little pub which is never full, a few different beers and ales to choose from and a pool table for entertainment.

Can't fault this pub, 5 stars poss a bit generous, but I didn't want to drop the average. Good beer nice atmosphere.

Excellent evening at traditional pub. Good beer, great music. Very busy but served quickly. Will certainly go again

Stopped by on a Sunday afternoon with the brother-in-law and his dog which was welcomed with a treat from the manager. The pub is tucked down a side road (Abbey St) leading to/from the station (if heading from town turn left at the William Cobbett pub on the bend). The interior is small compared to the Cobbett and it can get noisy from all the large tv screens dotted around if the football's on. Being Shepherd Neame tied the ale offering when we were there consisted of Spitfire/Whitstable Bay/plus another. I'm not a particular fan of their brews but it was fine for a couple before moving on.

Small pub, a stones throw from the train station. Warming interior with a great pool table (free on Mondays) perfect for a chilled night out

Great pool table and lots of space.

The Wychwood and Friends music, usually the third Thursday of the month, is a showcase of local musical talent.

Crap, depressing place. No food & poor Ale. Shepherd and neame!

Small. Quiet. They have a pool table. Beers are interesting enough.

Very welcoming immaculate shepherd neame pub . Bit tucked away but worth finding . Beer very well kept . Landlord very welcoming. Footer on tele if you want it . Strongly recommended

Typical Brit pub. Lost for something to do, I ended up here? What is there to say about your average pub? Lonely old men drinking? That's ok

Stumbled across this beautiful little pub last week whilst waiting for friend. A proper traditional pub. The night I went in they had a guy playing piano/guitar and taking requests. We enjoyed ourselves so much that we stayed all night! The poor landlord was on his own put was very efficient in making sure no one waited too long to get served. I'll definitely be returning.

What used to be a great Farnham pub, is now slowly dying a death. The landlord seems rude, lazy and extremely unwelcoming. The menu is uninspiring and it's extremely cold, dark and dingy inside. What a real shame!

Unos 30 de nosotros fuimos al cordero el jueves 19 de marzo para nuestro fin de fiesta a largo plazo. El encargado, David, había cerrado el pub junto a nosotros para la noche y la comida imprescindible, karaoke y una discoteca. Fue una noche absolutamente fabulosa, y todos lo pasamos de maravilla. No podemos esperar hasta que hacerlo de nuevo! La comida era muy buena y el servicio era rápido. Recomiendo encarecidamente el cordero, para una fiesta privada. Alison, Farnham

Not sure if it is the lighting for the fixtures and fittings but the pub feels cold and unwelcoming. Its not homely. Being virtually empty didnt help but they need to try something else.

Went to the Lamb about 8pm last Friday to see the live band who were due to play at 9pm. Opened the front door but there was a curtain pulled across which we negotiated and got into the pub. Everyone stopped talking and the pub went silent - we felt incredibly uncomfortable. As we approached the bar the landlord said, and I quote 'are you struggling to read?' we said pardon! He repeated the question - then said ' can't you read the sign on the door telling you to use the back door?. We explained there was a piece of paper on the door but nothing was written on it - either the rain had washed the writing away or it was the wrong way round. He rushed off and sorted it out then came back - did not apologies until I said something to him. All of this was said in a silent pub so everyone heard - he was rude and very much out of order. They did not want people coming in and walking in front of the band (this was 8pm and they weren't even playing until 9pm) We will not be returning to the Lamb - the landlord needs some serious customer service training.

Vivi alli y salia por alli y de vez en cuando para cambiar de bar,íbamos alli,esta bien,las cervezas buenas,el ambiente bueno y la mesa de billar un poco vieja,pero esta bien

About a dozen of us went to the Lamb on Sunday 21 December after a 7 mile walk. We had pre-ordered our food, which was very good (sandwiches very good value - I had a nice lasagne). Good hospitality and the ale went down nicely. This used to be a great local pub in Farnham, with live bands most Friday evenings, which the current management seem to be reviving. Well worth checking out over the festive period.

Arrived and the pub was empty, apart from the bar girl, despite this no service we had to go to the bar, we had booked a table of 8 yet there was only 3 lamb and 2 pork roasts available, when the food finally came out after an hour they brought 3 meals before the rest of us got anything 10 minutes later, the lamb was tough and overcooked, there was no music so the atmosphere was totally flat. I wouldn't recommend this at all, that said the girl at the bar was very polite of a tad useless it wasn't her fault

Great back street pub with some excellent live bands. Not for youngsters but a friendly bunch of locals reside within. Oranjeboom on tap as well.
