Set in the elegant Farnborough Park area, the Goat in the Garden is an attractive bar, tucked away in the grounds of a small boutique hotel, Melford House, but accessed via its own entrance at 21 Church Avenue. The bar offering will usually include four guest cask ales of which some are supplied directly from local breweries, and a craft larger. Alcohol free beer is available in cans, and sometimes on draught. There is also a range of interesting canned beer on the top shelf of the fridge. Atmospheric brewery mirrors adorn the walls.

The bar is a wonderful facility for hotel residents, but is also open to CAMRA members and the local community. It is best to ring ahead, particularly earlier in the evening, as there is a capacity limit. CAMRA members may use their CAMRA vouchers here: one voucher may be redeemed on each pint of different ale that they drink.

Not surprisingly, given its location, the hotel and bar are very popular during Farnborough Air Show week and you never know who you might bump into - Tim Peake and his family have stayed here!
