| I too can't understand why this one gets awards........this is the second time we sat in the cold, they can't be bothered to heat the place properley and only really want to sell you FOOD !........The staff even acknowledge yes its cold & yes there is no heating where you are sitting..................PECULIAR customer service ...... NOT GREAT, - boring choice of beers, lacks imagination and a flexible approach. Greatham Inn wins every time or just stay in Alton, its not worth driving out here its OVER RATED !......and doesn't deserve the custom. ladiesview - 6 Feb 2012 11:15 |
| I recently came back to the area and made a "b" line for the Selbourne Arms, anticipating a warm welcome for me and my black labrador, a great pint and a roaring fire. What a dissappointment. Tunrned up at 5.30 and had to wait until 6 (so they obviously don't want the after work drinking trade) and, when the door eventually opened, they wouldn't let Jack in. There are flagstones on the floor in the bar area, so why no dogs? I asked whether he couldn't come in because he was black and the response I got from the barmaid was as cold as the smoking room Jack and I were forced to sit in. I fancied a dark, winter beer and found nothing of the sort. I ended up with a lovely pint of Swift One but it was miles away from what I wanted. Looks like the place has turned into a restaurant and so why CAMRA want to give it an award I can't tell you. Perhaps it's further proof that they've lost the plot. Anyway, if you like real pubs where dogs are welcome and the fire blazes, why not pop down to the nearby Greatham Inn? slickslinger - 7 Dec 2011 15:28 |
| All a bit odd, really. Went there with a client. His smoked salmon salad was great. Our steak and kidney pies weren't. Untrimmed meat, tasteless thin watery gravy. And we had to fight to get both potatoes and vegetables, since (we were told) one can only have one of the two things, not both. Coffee machine broken as well. Loos are a sensory hazard - massive machinery operating under them which is intensely noisy and very big vibration, so be aware of this if you have anyone in your party who has sensory issues. featherways - 23 Nov 2011 13:19 |
| Excellent choice of real ales and ciders and very good food. £5.95 for delcious home-made pate, apple bread and chutney is certainly not expensive! orchardgirl - 20 Sep 2011 16:06 |
| Absolutely outrageous - 1 (small) piece of cheese on toast with a teaspoon of green tomato chutney = £4.95! 4 chicken wings = £5.95. Better pubs in the vicinity with more affordable/value for money food. Sabiston - 2 May 2011 14:02 |
