The Swan

As a Tripadvisor Traveller’s Choice nominated pub, you know that The Swan will exceed expectations. With historic roots dating back to the 19th century, it once refreshed horses and drivers between the Farnborough and North Camp railway stations. Nowadays, the lunch and dinner menus feature your quintessential pub lunch and dinner staples, including battered fish and chips, burgers, and steak during the week, with Sunday lunch taking on a festive flair to suit this time of year. 

The Gallery Restaurant

The Gallery Restaurant is a fully-licensed fine dining restaurant run by the Catering & Hospitality students at Farnborough College, helping students gain invaluable industry experience working alongside professional chefs. Enjoy a three-course meal, a licensed bar and a quiet, relaxing atmosphere for a fraction of the fine-dining price while you support trainee development. The menu is limited and varies regularly, so it’s worth looking at their website for what is currently on offer. However, carnivore and vegetarian options are always available, offering something for most tastes. 

Dolce Italia Restaurant & Pizzeria

This authentic Italian restaurant is just what you need when the carb cravings hit. With a selection of antipasti, pizza and pasta, and mouth watering Italian desserts, it’s no wonder this is a local favourite! So why not try their classic Bruschetta with basil, garlic and fresh tomato drizzled in olive oil, the Tagliatelle Alfredo with cream and mushrooms, or even a classic Margherita with tomato and mozzarella? Whatever you choose, that Italian food craving will be well and truly satiated after a visit to Dolce Italia.
