Ringwood Best, Butcombe Bitter, Pride, courage, Spitfire, Broadside. Large Inglenook at each end of long bar, handful of lunching customers in bar around 13:00 & seems geared toward food with large dining area set up in room to left of bar; on arrival I’d also passed an outbuilding which looked a likely venue for private functions (50-60pax). Mains £10-12, burgers/ribs £8/9, filled cobs £5.50(!), steaks from £15 (never understand the disproportionate stk mark-up), all this bizarrely countered by ‘Burts hand fried chips’ at just 70p. Some of the diners sounded rather ‘hoorah’ but, despite this, the bar is long enough to accommodate drinkers & the huge grassy beer garden with plenty of picnic sets must be a big pull in good weather, a smaller garden area at the front looks out over the green. The stunning french/danish barmaid deserves a mention.

This is one crackin' pub..! My occasional visits over the years have always been pleasurable. Tonite the selection was Ringwood Best, Butcombe, Pride, Bombadier, Courage Best and summink else that had a logo like the 'Watership Down' rabbit..! My mate and I both had the Ringwood which was superb. The landlady spotted 'new' faces and was keen to ensure that we were properly looked after. I like that.. a really good operator..! The place was packed.. I'm not surprized..!

I still have the match box collection I purchased from the landlord 30 yrs ago.
Do any of you remember them being displayed here.

Butcombe, Sharpes Doom Bar & Adnams Broadside. The pub is divided in two, with a welcoming locals bar at the entrance and a larger restaurant area off to the left. Food is freshly cooked and of very good quality.

Anywhere the serves Doombar is good with me. I just hope they get Eden on as well.
Much better than it used to be a pleasant suprise on a recent visit having heard pretty average reports previously...
