The Inn At Farnborough

We like The Inn @Farnborough so when our friends suggested we book the pop up Kitchen here, we jumped at it.what a perfect location, the atmosphere was great, light, airy and loved the DJ outside. Shame we couldn't hear him from inside, that would have been fab. Food was delicious, well presented etc. We had roast beef, lamb and the special. My only slight nark was the price of the Meze £15 for 3 bowls and some bread sticks? We loved it and will be back

Lovely to sit, relax and enjoy a meal here. The views looking onto fields of open space are lovely, especially if your normal is a lot of brick/concrete. The food options varied from breakfast, brunch and main meals like a traditional plated up roast. All was served with attentively and looked appealing to eat. Especially liked the edible flowers. Colour does wonders. Portions were good and prices reasonable. The building is spacious. Not crowded at all. Imagine they’re able to cater for large groups. Perhaps will inquire as plenty of free parking outside as well.

We ate here at the primrose pop up on Friday. We had good food overall but my starter was cross contaminated (non gluten free bread in two out of three of the dips). And despite checking gluten free desert options, the one I had the plate was quite literally sprinkled with gluten (some sort of crumbled biscuits). Thinking best to just double check the waiter came and took my plate away replacing it with another one commenting ‘they shouldn’t have put that on there’. No apologies at all considering he put it down in front of me with the gluten on and we had had the same waiter all meal. If you’re Coelaic be careful!

On my first visit my sister ordered a pizza cheese free but unfortunately it arrived with cheese, however an apology followed and it was taken off the bill. Second visit booking for two adults and one child aged two with a dairy allergy which I noted at time of booking. On arrival this was explained again with very little support and we were told they don’t provide a children’s menu! Are you discouraging those with children? A great location but as a previous reviewer mentioned a tad of arrogance by the two owners. Thankfully we received far better service from those serving inside the shop. No vegan options and very little for vegetarians. Disappointing.

Having decided to come away for the weekend we searched a couple of restaurants to eat at locally to our hotel in Banbury. We arrived at the kitchen and found that we were in an amazing barn ! The welcome was fantastic and there was a great buzz . The interior of the barn is modern and trendy, we had a table at the huge windows with a view over the countryside. The menu was lovely, nice selection and when the food arrived it was superb. The service was attentive and all diners appeared to be enjoying themselves. The layout of the barn and outdoor area is very stylish and great cocktails on offer too! If we are in the area again we would not hesitate to come back and also recommend to friends...

Great location but food was underwhelming. We had been to the Kitchen when it was in Farnborough Pub and the food was amazing. But that was a while ago, pre-covid. Shame as the new location is stunning with amazing views out of large windows. Great rural setting. Lovely staff. I had pheasant curry. Overall it was ok but pheasant was dry and came as two whole breasts. Not marinated. Black rice and veg was good. Nduja Pizza’s were given 6/10. One of our party liked his Burger. Deserts: chocolate roulade very nice. Apple crumble the apple overcooked and crumble did not hold together. We will return for another chance as it may have been a post Christmas off day and the facilities and setting ar...

Just to be clear The Kitchen isn 't at Farnborough at the moment but at Primrose Hill Farm in tiny Arlescote. This is a lovely venue purpose built in barn style with stupendous uninterrupted views of Warwickshire. The pop up dining is between weddings and other events. Now to the food so nice not to see the ubiquitous something and chips or burgers, but some really different dishes. This isn 't tapas for purists as there are influences from many different cuisines Thai,middle Eastern, Moroccan etc). All the tapas and 'small plates 'were delicious, we particularly liked the roasted carrots with cumin served on lebnah, The Seville orange Panna cotta with yuzu sorbet was sublime. This isn 't a...

The owners have really pulled out all the stops to try to overcome the restrictions Covid-19 has thrown in their path. First, they built a brilliant new outdoor eating area at their original venue in Farnbourough. Then, when winter beckoned, they relocated to Primrose Hill farm and took over the barn which is used for events. We've eaten a cuple of tmes inthe barn, but then along comes HMG andscuppers the plans of Ant and Jo. Lockdown two followed by teir 3 restrictions. So, thinking caps on, the dynamic duo turn their hand to teakeaway food. We've had several Friday night offerings now, but yesterday we had the Sunday roast. The portion size was immense and the food amazing. Hats off to thi...

Having passed the sign outside saying pop up restaurant, shop, etc we decided to go and have a look. This being a Saturday Not knowing what to expect we were really impressed by the buildings and presentation. Upon entering the door we were approached by a waiter who it turned was the owner. We explained that we had popped in to see what was on offer. Well it was like trying to extract blood from a stone, we really should have known. Eventually he did offer up information and as the venue was extremely attractive we decided to have a coffee and a hot chocolate, both fine. Whilst having our drinks we enquired of a female waitress if the restaurant did a Sunday roast. She confirmed they did. A...
