The Farmers Home is a traditional pub and restaurant on Heathen Street in Durley. A log fire in winter and a large garden with a children’s play area give it a welcoming village character throughout the year. The kitchen serves from noon and prepares food to order using carefully sourced fresh produce.
Main courses balance British pub favourites with a few more contemporary choices. Home cooked lamb shank, beer battered haddock, mixed grill and aged steaks sit alongside lasagne, salmon and prawn dishes. A plant based burger, vegetable stroganoff and wild mushroom and asparagus thermidor provide substantial meat free alternatives.
Sunday roast has its own place in the weekly menu, with a choice of meats and a vegetarian or vegan option. Regular specials use local and seasonal produce when available, including Durley strawberries in the restaurant’s Eton mess. Homemade sticky toffee pudding, cheesecake and chocolate brownie continue the comforting style through dessert.
Real ale and wine support the food, while children’s meals and the garden make the pub practical for families. Gluten free, dairy free, vegetarian and vegan variations are marked across the menu, although guests with allergies should still speak with staff before ordering. The Farmers Home is best suited to an unhurried country pub meal built around home prepared cooking and friendly service.
