Farnham has a good choice of private rooms, two of them on Castle Street. This guide covers four: a pub with three private rooms upstairs, the castle itself, a country inn at Churt and a hotel on the Alton Road.
Capacities come from each venue's own website, checked in October 2026. Where a venue doesn't publish a number, we say so. None publishes a minimum spend, so ask when you enquire.

Before you book
Ask about minimum spends, room hire and deposits, as none of these venues publishes them. Where a venue doesn't publish a capacity, give your numbers first and ask which room it would use.
We also cover private dining rooms near Guildford and the Surrey Hills, in Esher and Cobham, in Reigate and Redhill, and in Dorking and around Box Hill.
