Pub in [[Locale Farnborough|Farnborough]].

Note: According to the Feb/Mar 2020 <i>London Drinker</i>, the Change of Horses reopened under new management in December 2019, following a period of closure.  We haven't visited since, and so some or all of the details below may be out of date.

The decor is traditional with a slightly upmarket feel; the old-school padded banquettes are upholstered with subtle heraldic designs, echoed by similar fabric in the curtains that hang at the large unfrosted windows.  There's a beer garden at back, partly under cover, and a couple of benches out the front, also under cover.

[[Kake]] visited on a Thursday afternoon in September 2013.  There were quite a few people in, many of them having lunch, and most if not all of them appearing to be regulars.  No music was playing, but there was a pleasant buzz of conversation.

The handpumps on the bar were clipped for Young's Bitter, Old Speckled Hen, Harveys Sussex Best (&pound;1.80/half), and Sharp's Doom Bar.  They also had clips for Abbot Ale and Courage Best, but these were covered with paper signs noting that they were sold out; as I arrived, I heard a member of staff explaining to another customer that they had more Best in the cellar but it wasn't quite ready to serve yet.

Food is served lunchtimes at least, from a regular menu plus specials written up on a board by the bar.  On our September 2013 visit, the menus weren't out on the tables; you had to ask for one from the bar.

According to a sign seen in September 2013 <small>[http://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/9734483782/ photo]</small>, the Orpington Folk Club meets here on Thursdays from 8:15pm, with guest and open mike events.

Accessibility: No step to get in.  At the left-hand entrance, there are two sets of fairly narrow and heavy doors with ridges at the thresholds; the right-hand entrance is a little easier to get into.  It's step-free to the bar, toilets, and seating area; not sure about the beer garden.  The pub has its own car park.
