Farleigh Golf Club in picturesque Surrey is as much a destination for dining as it is for golf, offering a polished yet welcoming setting whether you’re arriving straight from the course or booking in for a swish meal out. Set within 350-acres of rolling green landscape, handily just minutes from the M25, the club pairs countryside calm with thoughtful hospitality making it an easy choice for relaxed lunches, special occasions and celebratory gatherings.
The dining offering at Farleigh is deliberately flexible. Golfers can refuel before a round with a proper bacon bap, or return afterwards for something more substantial, while non-golfers are just as well catered for. The bar and lounge of the club’s nineteenth hole, XIX, is an inviting place to pull up a stool for coffee, a drink or a hearty sandwich, with views across the course.
Sunday lunch is a particular draw and works well for family gatherings. Starters include prawn cocktail with avocado purée and brown bread, chicken liver pâté with onion chutney and ciabatta croûtes, or a simple tomato, mozzarella and rocket salad. Mains centre on a generous selection of locally reared meats such as topside beef, turkey breast and gammon, served with crisp roast potatoes, seasonal vegetables, Yorkshire puddings and gravy. Desserts keep things classic, with white chocolate and amaretto cheesecake, wild berry Eton mess and profiteroles finished with a rich chocolate topping.
Afternoon tea offers another reason to visit, whether as a post-round treat or a standalone outing perhaps for Mother’s Day, birthdays or a sophisticated hen do. Served in comfortable surroundings, it includes neatly prepared sandwiches, warm scones with cream and a selection of cakes, accompanied by a range of aromatic teas - just as you’d hope.
For private dining, Farleigh is well set up. With a variety of spaces across the venue, it can host everything from intimate meals to large-scale celebrations of over 200 guests, with the team on hand to tailor food and drink to suit the occasion.
While the dining stands confidently on its own, the setting adds to the appeal. Designed by Ryder Cup legend John Jacobs, Farleigh’s championship-standard course is widely regarded as one of Surrey’s finest. Whether you’re playing a round or simply arriving for lunch, Farleigh Golf Club offers a refined, well-rounded place to eat.
