| Uncompromisingly a proper pub with four or five real ales and one cider, a warm welcome and friendly staff. The landlady was even good enough to rustle us up some cheese sandwiches even though food is not on offer here. Dogs welcome too. A million miles from the identikit norm. and what a difference to the screaming kids and droning extractor fans in the garden of the nearby King Alfred. gtwibell - 14 Sep 2009 12:32 |
| Down a couple of steps from street level into a genuine old tavern with uneven floors, wonky walls and a low beamed ceiling ("Duck or Grouse"). The log burning fire would be grand in winter, there is a mixture of seating, from settles, stools and old benches, to an old threadbare armchair which appears to be the pub dog's favourite. Hops are entwined along the bar and picture rail, some of the photos and paintings on display are for sale. There is another room to the rear (available for hire so it says), and down a flight of steps to a rear garden area. Beers priced according to gravity, currently from £2.80-3.20, my visit had Hogs Back TEA, Ringwood Best Bitter and Ballard's Midhurst Mild on handpump, while Bowman's Quiver and Flowerpots Bitter were on stillage behind the bar. A real cider was also available, name unrecorded, sorry. Snacks available, no main meals, but you are allowed to bring your own takeaway with a nominal £1 charge for crockery and cutlery. Two pint take outs are offered, and curiously hammocks are sold here. A lovely spot with real old rustic charm, from another age. Highly recommended. Maldenman - 3 Aug 2009 10:39 |
| Excellent little pub with interesting beers on offer in addition to the more usual Ringwood. Pleasant small garden, and you can also bring your own food, though I've not tried that. An oasis in a sea of urban chains and closures. Harveybest - 4 Jun 2009 21:58 |
| Wonderful character place; with low beams, small bar areas and (I guess, in the winter) open fire. Good range of beers. Friendly staff and, if you stop for a while, the locals soon start talking to you too. Highly recommended. Trev - 3 Apr 2009 22:44 |
| Low ceilinged ancient pub, I used to drink here 25 years ago and it looks about the same and the beer is still excellent. A range of beers from mainly smaller breweries, Ringwood (ok I know they're Marstons), Ballards, Hogs Back and Hidden on my visit. Quiet bunch of customers apart from a loud mouth builder, but this was on a very wet monday night. oldboots - 16 Feb 2009 11:20 |
