| beer still top quality best summer lightning in the area poured straight from barrel, just to let anyone who may be interestedbut the limes is hosting a beer festival on 11 and 12 february 2012 daddycool234 - 22 Jan 2012 18:11 |
| "Dark and empty" eh? Well, BITE users must speak as they find, but I rather think that comment short-changes this place, which I found - albeit on a Saturday lunchtime - to be a light and airy affair, that was reasonably busy and all things being equal, a perfectly convivial pub. We'd made a dash over here in desperate need for the gents, which fortunately were found in acceptable form, and used liberally. Once inside the long bar area, one felt the sense of slight datedness in the decor, fixtures and fittings, which was reminiscent of Fawlty Towers-era hotel bars. Saying that however, it did not jar unduly, and after a while I revised that rather harsh initial impression and settled upon a Royal British Legion club as the closest ally to the Limes' atmosphere; a sort of stoical comfort and quiet defiance in the face of unbridled change all around it. Ales were served from the cask direct, which suited us perfectly well. Ringwood Porter? Yes please, and conditioned nicely too - if only more punters were making the most of it as opposed to the flavourless fizz. The barman was attentive and pleasant, and all in all there was a pervasive feeling of steady, civilised enjoyment on the part of the predominantly middle-aged crowd. Not for everyone I imagine, but for those who can't recall how so many pubs in the 1970s and '80s used to be in these parts, go to the Limes and it will give you a broad idea. And the joy of it being 2011 and not 1981 is that you can enjoy decent cask beer! TWG - 9 Feb 2011 17:07 |
| Dark and empty, but the HSB was excellent and I can see the attraction of the pub on a busy night. mtaylor40 - 19 Nov 2010 23:40 |
| Good old local pub serving top quality real ales.The summer lightning is out of this world. Definately the best real ale pub in the area. costello - 6 Jan 2009 19:59 |
| great pub with that old fashioned local feel but make strangers welcome. the real ales are excellent and well priced serving 5 real ales never had a bad pint and should the barrel run dry the staff will go to the cellar and pour you one straight from the barrel. in my opinion one of the best pubs in the fareham area for real ale daddycool234 - 29 Sep 2008 17:35 |
