| On a six mile circular walk from Winchfield station we decide to take lunch and alcohol at the Crooked Billet. Whereas once the A30 was the premier route in the area it's now more like an overspecified backroad, kind of like how I imagine Route 66 in the USA to be. Consequently the Crooked Billet doesn't get the passing trade that it used to, but ambience wise is probably all the better for it. The pub was packed - the pensioners wing of the local Baptist Church were having their Christmas lunch, so the sherry was flowing and the zimmers were flying. We settled down a safe distance away to enjoy some splendid pints of TEA. Also available was Courage Best, Doom Bar and Boondoggle ( a bit late in the year for summer ale, but never mind). Service was pretty good considering the OAP's had monopolised most of the waitresses. I had Shepherd's Pie with vegetables and it was fine - no "chips with everything" here. The staff welcomed us and said goodbye. All in all a very pleasant experience ramblethenlunch - 16 Dec 2011 16:45 |

| Attractive pub in nice setting alongside a stream by the A30. There is plenty of car parking and a very pleasant riverside garden. You walk straight into a large bar with a smaller lounge beyond. To your right, at the rear of the pub, is another bar space set out for dining. Although comfortably furnished the bar was overcrowded with rugby fans moaning and groaning as thay watched England's fumbling performance against Ireland in the Six Nations. Courage Best, Hos's Back TEA and a nice pint of Sharp's Doom Bar were the ales avaliable. The menu didn't look anything special but there was a specials board that looked more interesting. Considered the toilets very clean with a selection of humerous cards to peruse. In the lounge was a collection of Good Beer Guides and loads of volumes on rugby and cricket, obsessions also reflected in the many prints and cartoons on the walls. I would like to return at a quieter time to get a better idea of the place but I would imagine it gets pretty busy in any decent summer weather. flashharry1965 - 22 Mar 2011 08:39 |
