| A little late, but further to my post of last October, I can now comment on the pub. Overall, OK-ish. The live music bar is extremely cramped, and not a great set up for the bands, but short of re-building the pub, you have to work with what you've got, and they do have a few bits that might help the band - a small stage and a UV stage light. Also, the pub hadn't seemed to have done any promotion, so the only people there were those that we already knew. The bar staff were helpful to the band when we got there. However, they almost completely disappeared when we had finished setting up and wanted to start drinking. This became a feature of the night, and even when we had a fairly good crowd in the bar, getting served took forever. Some people ordered food, which was good enough for pub grub, but took over half an hour to appear. Our drummer had ordered a meal in plenty of time before we played, but it appeared a couple of minutes before we were on, so he was stuffing scampi and chips into his mouth between songs for the first half of the night. That said, the beer was good, the locals were friendly, and it was a good night out. But I hope we caught the staff on a bad night, or else you might die of thirst! monkey_steve - 24 Apr 2008 14:54 |
| DATE OF VISIT: 12/04/08 This is a very good pub and should receive 10 out of 10 for all the charity work they've done down the years. The pub itself is fairly small and divided in two. One side of the bar has the pool table and juke box and the other hosts the many live music nights. The interior decor is adorned with photos from previous Ash Music Festivals and charity work for which they're quite rightly proud of. I had a pint of Green King IPA though I'd have preferred to of have tried the Ringwood Brewery which on this occaision wasn't available. I've haven't the food there nor have been up there much during the evening. Is it worth a visit? Very much so. The people there are friendly and the atmosphere is welcoming. The only disappointment was the lack of choice of ales but if you can put up with that then it's well worth a visit... wezmiester - 14 Apr 2008 08:52 |
