went in here today for the first time today after living in the area for a year, good pub, friendly and has sky sports, darts and pool. good real ales and clean environment. one of the best in the area.

Very quiet on a Friday evening, in complete contrast to the prince of wales nearby. The Ale tasted ok here to me, interesting decorations around this pub as well, not sure why they have the old fasioned tennis racquets.

We have recently taken over the pub and are really trying to improve the standard of beer and service. We have got 3 ales on perminately and we are looking to expand our range of guest ales which at the moment include london pride and hogs back and next week we are introducing Summer Lightning. We have major refurb plans due to start in the next 5 weeks and we will be reintroducing sky TV in August. Feel free to pop in anytime and let us know if there is anything you feel the pub needs we are open to all suggestions

Last time we wnet there was something not nice in my beer, some sort of new lifeform that had bread in the pipes I think!

This pub is one of the best pubs in Farnborough. great atmosphere, friendly staff and none of that bloody stuffy arrogance! I love the place. It's a proper boozer. Not one of those bloody new gastro pubs that's full of people who sip on a bloody orange juice all night and tuck into shitaki mushrooms muddled with thai mango. Good ales, great selection of lager and more importantly. No twats. All in all a great pub really.

Just been taken over by a new couple so hopefully they can improve it a bit, but would take a lifetimes work and about 50k to get this place decent.
I love ale but when i occasionally drop in to the imp i drink lager... if a warm, cloudy and generally nasty pint that has been sat in the lines all day because nobody drinks it is your sorta drink then you wont be disapointed.
Most of the staff are nice but a fair few arrogant pricks for locals unfortunately

What can you say about the 'pimp'? Well, the lagers excellent but the real ale is almost always crap (hell of a shame), the regulars are superb - always good for a laugh and a joke, the staff - once you get to knoew them - are tops!!
I love this pub, it's like a home away from home (which is, incidentally, just down the road!).
Doesn't compete with the more popular 'Prince' around the corner but both are going for different clientelle.
Is a bit threadbare inside - needs a refurb! - but hey, I like a lived in feel in a pub! At present is up for lease but we'll see what happens there!

Beer quality has been poor the last few times I went in this pub so haven't been back. Always seems quiet.

I have very fond memories of his pub from the early eighties, it became my favourite watering hole. People like Roger Hsrris ( now sadly gone) the thain brothers stu and steve, chris mac, steve, steve wylie and many more, the beer and atmosphere was always excellent. The trouble with a lot of summaries of pubs is people judge it on one visit. This was always a top class pub. If anyone reads this and remembers me Tim O'Connor my e-mail is toconnor24@hotmail.com

This is a pleasant and usually fairly quiet pub. The main bar, with Sky TV and jukebox, is the busiest. There is a pool table but it is rather cramped. The quieter bar always has at least one snowy-haired local staring at anyone who comes in, but they don't usually cause any trouble.
