The Goose & Fern

Nestled in the heart of Santa Rosa, The Goose & Fern brings authentic British pub culture to Sonoma County with a warm hospitality that feels both worldly and wonderfully local. This beloved gastropub has earned its stellar reputation by staying true to traditional recipes while sourcing ingredients from local Wine Country farms, creating a unique fusion of British comfort food and California freshness.

The menu showcases classic British fare elevated with local touches – their beer-battered fish and chips features fresh Pacific cod with hand-cut kennebec potatoes, while the shepherd’s pie incorporates grass-fed local lamb and seasonal vegetables. Don’t miss their Ploughman’s lunch with artisanal cheeses from nearby creameries, or the bangers and mash made with house-made sausages. The weekend brunch adds British breakfast classics alongside creative benedicts that have become local legends.

Step inside and you’ll find yourself transported to a cozy English pub, complete with dark wood paneling, vintage brewery signs, and a crackling fireplace that makes even the warmest California evenings feel inviting. The bar showcases an impressive selection of British ales alongside local Sonoma County wines and craft beers, while the dining room buzzes with conversation from both locals catching up over pints and wine country visitors discovering their new favorite spot.

Whether you’re seeking a hearty meal after a day of wine tasting, a casual dinner with friends, or a unique culinary adventure that bridges two food cultures, The Goose & Fern delivers an experience that’s both authentically British and distinctly Sonoma County. It’s the perfect place to unwind with comfort food that satisfies both body and soul.
