| Still a friendly pub but lacking in finesse since the leaving of Tony and Gill who were landlord and lady of the old school, hope it picks up mitme - 5 Mar 2010 16:34 |
| We had a party of about 50 there last night on an organised event in the marquee over the garden. They did a good curry and a good chilli with all the trimmings for us as a party. Good selection of ales but......................... BUT!!!! they wanted to charge me £2.20 yes £2.20 for a pint of lime and soda. I objected at length that this was extortion of the highest order. The barmaid checked with the boss who I think was busy in the kitchen doing the finishing touches to our food and she said he said only £1.50 then. I objected but paid mainly as a lot of our party were desperate to get served in this lovely little pub. hampshireman - 12 May 2009 10:10 |

| shhhhhh don't tell anyone is the impression you get when you find this country boozer tucked away in a small village surprisingly not very far away from the rest of the world! This is the high water mark of country pubs. Well kept beer and cider in well worn, slightly fraying at the edges comfortable surroundings will keep you coming back time and again. The welcome is genuine and accommodating no matter whether you came in your tractor or your generic suburb mobile. If that isn't enough the menu is so good you turn up without a booking at your peril at popular Sunday lunch type moments. If anyone ever comes to visit me in South Hampshire I will always find an excuse to come here and enjoy the Brush. In the handbook on how to reach pub perfection you will find this marevellous place spoken about in reverential tones. So the story goes, the brewery wanted to sell the pub to developers so the good folk of the village got together and bought it in the spirt of anarcho-syndicalist affection, installed the manager on the basis that he kept a good range of beers, wines and spirits and made his money on the food. Sounds good to me whether its true or not (I advise you to research yourself at the premises). Other pubs who pretend to aspire to such lofty ideals take note and come to the Brush to see how it's really done. Trethias - 26 Feb 2008 13:48 |
| Very difficult to find but a real treat once found! I would recommend going in the summer so you can sit in the garden. Otherwise it is very crowded inside, plus the garden has great views over the country side-great if you consider how close it is to Southampton. The food was delicious and there was a wide range to choose from, ranging from the usual pub food to some dishes more extravagant. A huge price range as well. Very much enjoyed my afternoon in the country at this pub. back2reality18 - 18 Jan 2008 17:45 |
