Would highly recommend the Donkey. We went in as a party of nine including a baby. The food was absolutely delicious and such a lovely varied choice on the menu, something for everyone The staff were all so lovely. All in all a lovely Sunday afternoon in an amazing pub/restaurant Will definitely return soon.

Fantastic food and at a very reasonable price. I had the ham egg and Donkey special fries (they have herbs and garlic). Service was ok a bit slow but they were very busy. A couple of real ales on tap - what more do you need?BTW the T-bone steaks looked amazing too!

Unassuming when pulling up but was blown away by the food. Homemade, hearty portions, and great value.Pub classics, but served in a modern way without sacrificing flavour or quality.

Perfect little pub/restaurant, if you want the cosy homely feel look no more, everyone is so friendly and the food is awesome! Indoor and outdoor seating, dogs welcome, friendly donkeys :)

Lovely, very small pub near Farnham with a surprisingly good menu and very well cooked food.Booking is essential as the place is very small.The decor is very quaint, it's clearly several hundred years old and tucked away from the main road. There is next to no 4g coverage and the bar proudly displays a sign saying that they do not have WiFi, it's somewhere to unplug!The food was a real surprise, we had Cote de Boef with triple cooked homemade chips and it was excellent, I highly recommend it if it's on the menu when you visit.There is parking outside, which is free.Parking: Plenty of spaces given the size of the pub, it's free and just outside.

The best pub in the local area. Very friendly staff that always make my Wife and I (and our dog) very welcome. Lost count of how many good meals we’ve had here. I would Recommend to anyone.

Warm welcome, fire burning in fireplace and delicious food as always. A perfect pub after a wintry walk.
Lunch wasn't quite as good as last time but still a great pub and a great pub

Really in need of a serious update in the z conservatory area. So totally untrendy in a smart and competitive area for pubs. Carpet (tiles) in dreadful state. This old pub just has not got what it takes any more. Sad, not cheap either.

We were a party of five , from Reading and Emsworth, meeting for a family get together. We had a warm welcome and excellent, friendly service. There was a great choice, three of us went for the festive menu, one enjoyed a delicious steak and the other had tasty fish and chips. There were generous portions and a readiness to adapt to individual tastes. We weren't rushed, no one came to clear plates before we had all finished each course (rare these days), but I could see the servers kept an eye for when we were ready to move on. The Christmas pudding was sumptuous! Thank you very much.

Popped in here for a pint after walking around Frensham pond. Very cozy, fires lit, 2 small rooms, donkey pictures everywhere, dog friendly, and the staff were all super chatty. Loved this traditional old school

Allways a warm welcome excellent service and food. This is a proper country pub. Our well behaved dog is always made welcome. A real bonus as so many beautiful walks in the area.
