This is a pubco pub typical of its type. Spirit Group by the look of it, but I’m not certain. Three real ales on when I was in there the other day – Pride; Bombardier and Adnam’s Bitter. The Pride was drinkable. It’s had a makeover since my previous visit, introducing some high stools and high tables as well as the other bane of pubs – low armchairs and coffee tables. But they have retained some proper tables. All in all, I think this is a fairly inoffensive pub, but I won’t go out of my way to visit again.

An ok pub, but it suffers from being surrounded by some truly great pubs in the area. Needs to make a bigger efforts if its going to compete.

I was there last Friday after a meeting around the corner. I tried to goto the Grouse and Claret but it is sadly closed. The beer was pleasant enough and of a decent quality although my overall opinion is rather clouded as they managed to run out of 3 different pump bitters and Guinness by 7pm on a Friday nigth and I was then told that they would not be changing it until the morning.

Very popular at lunchtimes if it is sunny. The outside tables can be reserved and this makes it popular with office groups. No complaints about the beer, wine or food. Could do with extra bar staff the times we've been there.

This is the perfect little local for my work crew, Friday nights are often very busy, but we have had some great nights here, beers not to bad and the staff are friendly!

What a horrid boozer... everytimei drink there, a hangover is to come. Even if only 1 pint is drunk. The beer is murky and the staff unfriendly..

Nice enough boozer this that needs to investigate a drop in standards in the cellar. On the two occassions I've popped in this week the Bombardier was in a very sorry state. Not necessarily badly kept, as it was clean enough, I can only guess they've landed a bad batch. Completely lacking in vibrancy, it didn't compare well at all with other ales in the vicinity... i had a far better pint in the Duke of York no less!

Tres bien ici too, although still not as good as the Nags Head or the Grouse and Claret. Well heeled and well soused in here,......good laugh,.....dont reckon you can go wrong really with dark wood and scarlet trimmings,..bring your smoking jacket,...good carpet.
|
A great pub.
|
Closed on Sunday afternoon, so head for the Nags Head or Grenadier
|
Looks like it should be on a particularly nasty estate in Basingstoke. Not bad inside, Irish barman is quick and efficient. No point in going when you have the Grouse and Claret 20 yards down the road.

Cosy place even if it does get filled with the well heeled locals.

Seemed to be pleasant, sells London Pride and has ample seating outside.
