Borough Beer House scoops national award

- By VICTORIA SHIPP

THE extraordinary building that is home to one Surrey pub means it has received a national award. The 'stunning' surroundings meant the bar was judged to be among the best in the UK, with judges impressed by its unusual interior

The Borough Beer House in Farnham has won the 'Conversion to Pub Use' at the CAMRA’s Pub Design Awards 2025.

The competition celebrates some of the most visually impressive, historically significant and lovingly restored pubs across the UK.

The category is focused on the conversion of buildings originally built for other uses. In 1674 the Borough Beer House was a Bailiff's Hall and judges praised how in the present day features have been retained, including beamed ceilings, period fireplaces, wood panelling and a herring-bone pattern floor.
