| If you are a "Billy-no-friends" this is the pub for you! Dismal and lacking in atmosphere; often difficult to locate serving staff. Even the Fullers/Gales senior management now hold their local meetings in the "Hampshire Hog" (really The Hog's Lodge!) up in Clanfield. Come on Fullers-either knock it down and build new or give it a massive makeover, as you have done with several of your other pubs in Hampshire. A bit of staff training wouldn't go amiss either! alocalbeerdrinker - 20 Dec 2009 13:46 |
| What's happened since I last visited? Great things seemed promised by the new management but it seems that, after an initail spurt, lethargy has set in! Beer quality is inconsistent and often seems tainted from dirty pipework, managers are rarely seen and staff seem tired and listless are often scruffy. Many sport tatoos and other unpleasant facial adornments - something I find unattractive and off-putting in front line staff! (surely they could be asked, at least, to remove their studs, bolts, ear stretchers and other types of shrapnel before coming on duty). Food is pretty acceptable standard pub grub, but not that cheap (£8.00 for chicken or steak pie; £7.00 for a simple spag. bol.). Maybe the renamed and revamped Hampshire Hog (Hogs Lodge for a century or more), plus new hotel building, might be a better bet. Nocoshellenicos - 1 Aug 2009 14:54 |
| Most enjoyable pub. A great selection of beers including Fullers ESB, a great buy at £3.05. The lunch time food is excellent and very reasonably priced. The only complaint is that sometimes service is slow but the staff are very friendly. realaleman42 - 1 Jun 2009 15:04 |
| Enjoyed a Blues Brothers themed New Years Eve party last night. Pub looked great with the themed decorations and the staff made a real effort with their fancy dress. Buffet food was very tasty and the beer was great as usual. Looking forward to next year’s event! swiftpint_25 - 1 Jan 2008 17:43 |
