Sandrock, The

The Sandrock is located south of the Surrey market town of Farnham, a stones throw from beautiful Surrey countryside, Frensham Ponds and Bird World.

This relaxed restaurant opened in autumn 2006 in a traditional ale house serving eight ever changing cask ales from independent small breweries throughout the UK, they also have a reasonably priced wine list, including a commendable sixteen wines by the glass. The decor is wood and cool cream, with crisp linen tablecloths and sparkling glasses. The constantly changing menu features local game in season and fresh produce from local suppliers.

House specialities include coarse game pate, crab fishcakes, sea scallops with ginger and garlic, smoked haddock rarebit with tomato salad and lavender oil dressing, sea bass fillets with ginger and orange, vegetarian Wellington made with carrot and parsnip pate topped with mushrooms and spinach, best end of lamb infused with fresh rosemary, caramelised apple tart with fig and honey ice cream, sticky banana pudding with toffee and pecan sauce.

No wonder that the chef/owner Carol was a finalist in National Pub Chef Awards in October 2005.
