You'll find us perched on the edge of Bourne Woods - follow the fresh air, happy dogs, and the faint smell of chips and gravy. If you hit open countryside, you've gone too far! Joking… we’re easy to find and have a huge car park.

From the Farnham by-pass (A31) head in the Alton direction. At the Coxbridge Roundabout turn Left following the sign for “Birdworld”. Go under the railway bridge and up to the mini roundabout (Bengal Lounge) and go Left up School Hill. At the top go over the staggered cross roads and down Sandrock Hill Road. After the dip in the road take the 2nd Left into Upper Bourne Lane (Unadopted). Take the 2nd Left into Bat and Ball Lane. We are at the bottom of the hill with plenty of car parking.
We’re open every day of the week. Early enough for a proper drink, and late enough for “just one more.”

Yes! Plenty of parking - no parallel parking anxiety required.
Absolutely. We’ve got a kids’ menu, colouring books, and a huge playground for your little rascals to burn off some energy.
Of course! We love dogs. Some might say we prefer them to certain humans.
At The Bat & Ball, we have a strict code: roasts must be hearty, gravy must be proper, and customers may order any number of Yorkshire puddings without fear of judgement. We stand by it.
We look forward to welcoming you!
