We enjoyed our previous visit so when bro-in-law came to stay we took him at the weekend. I tried the Pedigree this time rather than the 49er: it was well-kept and very good. I started with the home-made vegetable soup. There was so much vegetable in it, they could have put a pastry lid on it and sold it as vegetable pie! Delicious. I went on to the lasagne which was very tasty with plenty of meat in it. madam had the chicken in mushroom sauce which she pronounced to be very good. Bro-in-law took the gammon - his empty plate spoke volumes. I'm glad our first experience has proved to be untypical.

After our last disastrous visit I received a message from the landlord. He confirmed there had been chef trouble, assured us things were better and urged us to try again. So we did. A friendly welcome, the Ringwood 49er was excellent. We started with a shared plate of garlic bread with a balsamic dip: very good. Madam had the gammon with pineapple, and I, being a glutton for punishment, went for the haddock again. The gammon was just right: well cooked, tender and tasty. My fish was everything it should have been. Obviously fresh not frozen, in a crisp tasty batter. Looking around the dining area, five of the six tables were occupied and on two of them the diners were tucking into the haddock with gusto. Madam finished with the banoffe pie. As there was no cheese on the menu I missed a dessert, but on leaving I saw a diner with cheese and biscuits. Serves me right for not asking, but it ought to appear on the menu.

As I mentioned above it was busy, with five tables occupied. Everyone seemed to be enjoying their meal, the service was friendly and efficient. We shall return.

My wife and I went this evening. Following the recent refurb it was smart, spotless and comfortable. The Pedigree was excellent. Next, the food. Oh dear. My wife has a demanding medication schedule so we need to eat on time. The garlic bread was good. Well, something had to be. her chicken supreme was OK, but the cauliflower was either badly bruised or dirty. My haddock: now, how do you ruin a piece of fresh fried fish? Overcook it, that's how. The batter had the colour and toughness of a brandy snap. The fish was bone dry. We didn't have time to send it back so I ate what I could. The landlady came in response to my complaint to the very helpful waitress. She offered a free pudding, but when that was rejected a bill arrived for the full amount. The really funny thing was that a customer who arrived after us had his fish mistreated the same way. he sent his back, though.

Under new management since mid 2007. Very friendly landlords and staff. This is a Marston pub with great beers, Banks' Original to name one and often has specials. Recently had Jennings Cumberland Ale (one of my favourites). Good honest pub food, great beer battered cod with excellent chips (beats all the fish & chip shops locally). Ocasionally has special themed food events (Steak evenings, Speciality Sausages etc). Great fun watching the hot air balloons leave from their field behind the pub on summer evenings.

My wife went there recently for lunch with her girl friends. They meet once a fortnight and try different venues so have some experience. They report that the food was appalling as was the offhand, truculent, service. Never again!
