please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.

Been in the are for a couple months and thought I try this out on a Sat night...initially it looks nice and respectable, there was a party going on, so I ordered a drink, which was very expensive, Im dinking away quitely, as the bar staff seemed to busy chatting amongst themselves, looking around etc. and felt totally out of place as it looked like an audition for chav factor! There were arguements and hassle from people in the party, near fights, swearing and all sorts...needless to say I drank up and moved on.

Hmmmmm been frequenting various drinking holes in Ashley X now for 15 years -The Brit was one of my favourites-once!
The new landlord seems to think a traditiobnal pub being turned into a warehouse (maybe he thinks it looks like a restaurant?) was a good idea.
Gone are the friendly locals and staff to be replaced by a mockney "bird" called sam,a goth who wont serve you(see below also) ,the locals are now non existent.
The landlord just sits in a corner with his mates ,berating anyone who criticises his establishment.
The beer garden is great-if you like drinking in a car park!!
the food has gone all gastro ,so a quick lunch out from work will cost you in the region of £30.
Real shame ,but dont think M the landlord will be there too long-bit like his few punters!

Went to watch the England v Wales game on Saturday 2nd
Feb, really good atmos, free bar snacks (cocktail sausages, chicken, scotch eggs Etc) massive bigscreen TV and another 40 incher tucked away in the comfy bit in the corner so easy to see game, really good day despite the result. From memory drinks didn't seem too expensive either.... great pub

nice big pub with good range of lagers and spirits. recently refurbished to a high standard, much cleaner and brighter but still keeps the chilled friendly atmosphere. resaurant highly recommended especially for the high quality of sevice. always a smile behind the bar and something going on at the weekends.

Nice Pub,but the Ringwood best was far too expensive for a local beer

A quality sports pub with the usual pool tables and darts boards, and pretty much show every footy match going. Nice interior, the pub is split into two main areas so you can either get lashed in the noisier part with your mates or chill out in the more quiter and comfortable area. A good bunch of bar staff also and the usual bunch of regulars.

This has the biggest "Big Screen" I have ever seen! It is a bit pricey and has a basic menu but the friendly bar staff make it a worthwhile choice...
