| Not my locallest pub but always happy to take the extra walk (and extra stagger back) to visit this lovely friendly pub. Some good Ringwood (and other) ales, a good friendly bunch of staff, nice cosy bar, can't go much wrong here. Xopher - 10 Dec 2010 12:01 |
| Big roadside pub with two large bars, mainly for the locals, supports football and darts teams, I'm tempted to call it a community pub. In my recent experience the staff are friendly as have been the customers. There are a few 'chav types', as someone put it, but the are locals, they live there. The beer is excellent, 3 or 4 cask ale (HSB, Entire stout and Hobgoblin) on my last visit. Usual ciders, lagers, spirits etc. I can't comment on the food, the menu looks to be run of the mill pub-grub. Clean, quiet during the day, boisterous during my recent evening vist.If this was my local I'd be happy with it. My rating? 6 built largely on the quality of the ale. Runningdog - 12 Mar 2008 11:18 |
| I must have struck lucky then as I was in for a couple of pints on 2nd Dec and there was nary a chav to be seen. What's more, there were four real ales on and not just the bog standard ones either. The Skinners Cornish Knocker was in excellent condition. A couple of years back when I was still working in Saudi, someone kindly sent me an email alerting me to the fact that this place was much improved from when I made my original posting. Many apologies for never acknowledging your email but I gormlessly deleted your message before saving your email address. Anyway, to get back to the pub, much improved all round especially on the beer front. Has a big screen which is well positioned with a good quality picture but no more on that before I start to sound like that bloke with his bleedin' widescreen campaign. johnkn7 - 9 Dec 2006 20:53 |
| Local pub way out in the normal suburbs. Recently knocked the middle and public bar into one and currently appears to be chav central which is a shame. Don’t feel welcome there now. Disaster. Used to be one of my favourites. 6bh96 - 5 Dec 2006 21:14 |
| Dedicated to the sport of kings, horse racing, this pub is friendly but could do with some refurbishment. emulti100 - 20 Jan 2006 04:33 |
