Local record

History of this pub

Farnborough's Beefeater opened in the summer of 2016 as part of the new Premier Inn on Kingsmead in the town centre, a few minutes' walk from Farnborough Main station. CAMRA describes a light, airy restaurant with large picture windows, sport on the television and Doom Bar on the single handpump, with casual drinkers welcome to the right of the entrance. In July 2026 Whitbread put the restaurant up for sale as a going concern, and it closed to the public on 27 July, serving only hotel residents after that.
