| Tottonfemale's profile and other comments put her comment in context: when she says "boring", she means no karaoke, tv screens or live music. This pub provides excellent food at a reasonable price, is used by locals and visitors alike and serves well-kept beer. I had a very good pint of Hoppy Hare (H&W not usually my first choice, but this was great). The welcome is warm and the conversation friendly. If you're coming into Salisbury from Southampton, it's well worth the 2 mile detour to eat or drink here. ETA - 23 Mar 2009 11:24 |
| A lovely historic country pub with a garden with views over beautiful countryside and towards Salisbury Cathedral. Situated 3 miles south of Salisbury, it's just the place for a nice pint in the country, away from the hustle and bustle of Salisbury. Friendly hosts and good pub food. Interior is atmospheric with 3 small bars and log fire. Features in a book on local pubs, details of which can be found through the Local History link at www.alderbury.net ,the parish website.

| They don't make much of it, but this pub is an important setting in Dickens' novel Martin Chuzzlewit (where it's referred to as a model English pub). It IS "old school", still very much a local. The Hall & Woodhouse beers make it nothing special, though. Can't speak about the food. HenPen - 29 May 2008 13:23 |
| Unfair comment about being boring. I rate it highly for being old school. I have visited this pub about 5-6 times for food and or a drink, usually at lunchtimes. Friendly staff and smiling service. A very good place to take a friend for a catch up chat. Not a huge range of beers/ciders but well kept and many of my favourites. Solid oak type furniture and log fire. there is a more modern restaurant extension at the back with lovely old herringbone wood floor. The whole place has a nice settled old pub patina to it. Food has always been good and reasonable 2006-7, good and popular sunday lunches. BFI - 26 Nov 2007 17:22 |
| Stumbled upon this pub whilst driving around the north of Romsey area - Small car park out front about 6 cars ? Went inside to find a really nice old but smart unaltered pub selling Hall Woodhouse beers. There is a very nice garden out back where we had a most enjoyable meal. Although they were quite busy when we arrived 1pm on a Saturday the Landlady made suitable apologies beforehand saying the food may be delayed - it wasn't that much - and she also made time to chat to us answering questions about the pub and village. We will certainly be going there again - Excellent musicjunkie - 27 Aug 2007 07:26 |
