The Elm Tree is a well-established community pub located on Weybourne Road in Farnham, a town known for its strong sense of identity and loyal local following. Its position within a residential catchment gives it a dependable customer base and a strong road side appeal; the right operator can elevate it into a destination that blends classic pub values with a modern, welcoming offer.  Upon entry, there is one large trading area that is split into three sections to cater for pool, darts and dining. The pub is decorated to a high standard throughout and has a mixture of loose and fitted seating, along with some comfortable sofas. There is a definite homely feel to the pub, which comes from the layout and open-plan bar and lounge. Throughout the pub, there is access to pub games such as a pool table and a dart board. There is a good-sized kitchen equipped to support a small traditional food menu that can cater for around 15-20 covers inside and a further 10 covers outside in the warm summer months. The pub is currently driven by wet-led sales, but there is scope to push the sales further by developing a good food offering. There is a covered patio which has TV screens showing sports outside to the rear of the pub, which proves very popular during the warmer summer months. The Elm Tree has a good-sized garden and a large heated patio area. There are a few picnic-style benches outside that can be used to accommodate around 10 covers in the summer. The outdoor space is also big enough to host small events or parties to drive additional income to the pub business. The Elm Tree was built around 1889 and got its name from the beautiful giant Elm Tree that grew just off the crossroad. This building has served the village of Weybourne for approximately 40 years. The Elm Tree that you see today was built in the late 1920s ′s to early 30s.

Someone personable, visible and hands-on will thrive here — an operator who understands that the small details, consistency and personal touch are what turn a good local into a great one. Experience in running a community pub would be advantageous, but just as important is enthusiasm, creativity and the confidence to put their own stamp on the business. Whether it’s through events, food, sport or simple great hospitality, this pub needs an operator who enjoys bringing people together. Private Accommodation The pub offers a large on-site private accommodation that supports a healthy work-life balance. Comfortable and practical, it allows the operator to be close to the business while still having a clear separation between work and home life, with 4 bedrooms, a lounge and a private kitchen area. This makes the Elm Tree particularly appealing for operators and families looking for a long-term opportunity rather than a short stop-gap.  Regional Manager's Thoughts The Elm Tree is a classic example of a pub with strong foundations and exciting potential. With the right operator in place, it can become a cornerstone of the local area — a place people choose first for a pint, a meal or a catch-up with friends. I see this as an opportunity for someone who wants to build something meaningful, not just take on a business. An operator who is proud of their pub, invested in their customers and excited by the chance to grow trade organically will do exceptionally well here. Surrounding Area The Elm Tree, positioned in a well-established residential area that sits comfortably between Farnham, Hale, Badshot Lea and Aldershot, giving the pub a broad and varied catchment, drawing from several neighbouring communities. Its proximity to local schools and the nearby recreation ground creates natural daytime and early evening footfall, particularly from families, and sitting on the main link road, provides easy access for commuting passing trade. This setting lends itself perfectly to a true community pub — somewhere that fits easily into everyday routines, whether that’s a post-school visit, a relaxed weekend drink, or a social stop after work. The surrounding housing ensures consistent, year-round trade and presents an excellent opportunity for an operator to build a loyal customer base rooted firmly in the local area. With the right offer, the Elm Tree can become the go-to pub for residents across all four communities.
