Loch Fyne - Farnham Description
The Loch Fyne Restaurant notion was a child of the crisis that struck the food supply industry towards the end of the 1990s, when seafood presented itself as a healthy and readily available alternative to other forms of food that were under pressure at the time. Starting from a small roadside shop, today the business has thirty-eight outlets across Britain, including some in listed buildings, as well as the original site at Cairndow, Argyll.
Whilst the restaurants share a common background, there is a welcome degree of individuality encouraged throughout the group, which makes for customer interest. What each outlet retains is the same warm and friendly ambience, and fabulous food served with a smile. If you like wholesome, fresh and reliable seafood caught and reared under carefully controlled conditions, well presented in unfussy surroundings, and you enjoy being well looked after by pleasant staff, Loch Fyne is for you.
There is an increasing awareness of other forms of food as safety in such matters tightens, but it is the staple fare upon which their success was created that prevails. Loch Fyne kippers, a fine bouillabaisse, Braden Orach, a traditional strongly smoked salmon, and the toothsome oysters, sometime with chilli and coriander, all are to be found throughout the various restaurants, as well as good Scottish prime sirloin steaks and delicacies such as homemade crab cakes with chargrilled vegetable ratatouille. There is invariably a well-travelled wine list, sensible, both in content and prices.
Loch Fyne's greatest achievement has been to prove to a sceptical populace that chains or conglomerates can be made to work in the eating public's interest, as well as ensure a decent profit for those who carry the responsibilities. If imitation is one of the most telling forms of success, Loch Fyne is doing very well.
Your Reviews of Loch Fyne - Farnham
Debbie (7 August 2008)
My fiancée and I ate at Loch Fyne in Farnham in July and had a cracking time. The service was excellent and we had a trainee who had just started that night. The food was superb with delicate flavours, hot and no long gaps between courses. The ambience was great as well. We had to wait ages to get served at the bar but in all fairness there was only one chap serving and lots of people waiting, so I guess that more bar staff would be useful. That was the only downside - we'd heard mixed reviews but we thought it was one of the best places that we had eaten out at in the Farnham area and we will be regular visitors.

I am a regular customer at this light and airy restaurant with excellent food and wine - it has become a favourite in Farnham. However, the service leaves a lot to be desired, 20 minutes between a starter and main course is not acceptable and to be told that this is not fast food place by the duty manager was not acceptable either. I hope this can be rectified because the food and ambience is excellent.
