The Wheatsheaf is a Grade II listed pub in the heart of Farnham, trading under the name since the mid-18th century. Music is a regular fixture: Sam's open mic runs every Wednesday evening, and Sunday afternoons bring swinging jazz with the Vic's Jazz Friends Quartet plus a jam where visiting musicians and singers are welcome to join in. With a good restaurant alongside, it's a relaxed, welcoming home for both newcomers and seasoned players.
