Temple Inn, Liss Forestback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
The previous licensees left, after what I understood to be a less than good relationship with Fullers' area manager regarding opening times. First impressions are not necessarily reliable, but they can be significant. The HSB was OK, but I was less than impressed by paying 80p. for a 25g. packet of crisps, marked 'Not to be sold separately' and probably bought from Tesco at £1.50 for six.

It has settled down well under its new management. Beers and food consistently good. It appears to be getting a new garden and a much needed car park extension for the summer which will be welcome.

After a disastrous year - tenant left in January, various get-rich-quick merchants tried, and failed, to make a fortune - the pub closed for a re-furb in the autumn with the prospect of some professional pub people taking it over. Credit where it's due to Fuller's, who could so easily have closed it and seen it turned into 'executive apartments'. It reopened just before Christmas and seems to be doing very well. I had a dodgy pint of HSB but the barrel was changed without question. The new menu looks good, but may be a little expensive for what is, after all, a village pub in a backwater. I play Petanque regularly there, so you can imagine we missed it while it was closed. Last week we had our belated Christmas dinner. The food, to give it its due, was excellent, but I suspect they will pick up more lunchtime trade with some more typical country pub grub.

Nicely furnished, friendly staff (and regulars!) well-kept beer and good food, freshly cooked and in generous helpings at a reasonable price.

Stopped off in here with a mate as part of a cycle ride/pub crawl. We both had a pint of HSB. Now I've been drinking HSB for around 20 years and this was the best served and kept pint of it I've ever tasted. Will definitely be back!

I am suprised that there is no write up 4 this pub.Nicely appointed interior,a good selection of fullers/gales ales and the food. The food is not for nibblers,it is homemade,hearty and absolutlely delish.It is well worth a visit if you are passing. amdrinker
