What the @#$% is going on?? Came in today, after 5 weeks, a regular stop off for us(semi regular for 5-6 yrs), and the place has totally changed - every ) bloody table hijacked for eating, given a new (attempted 'trendy') look, drinlers made to feel like second class citizens, for crying out loud.. Despite the well kept Ringwood, never- a - @$*%ing gain... unbelieveable ....

Imposing building on the main square. Dark, wood panelled interior and largish garden running down to the railway with play area. Was busy with live music outside too. Two ales, Ringwood Best and Wadworths 6X.

Miserable landlady and staff - cold welcome, ale expensive, really should be called cold comfort inn.

This pub seems to have everything but nothing.
Very hard to get a smile from the landlady.
Felt she would give you a good telling off if you asked for chips instead of mash.
Although we didn’t eat.
Beer was ok. Seemed warm. But I didn’t like to say.
Great beer garden!

Popped in for a sneaky pint whilst the kids were busy at the station. Impressed by the prompt acknowledgement on walking into the bar - good to be loved. Anyway ordered a Ringwood Best and very well kept it was too. £2.80 a pint - ok for around these parts. Stood at the bar chatting to the bar man inbetween him serving a steady flow of customers. Previous reviews comment on expensive prices, well people have a choice and judging by the amount of people eating in and out when i arrived it couldnt be that bad. Moved onto the Filly @ £3 a pint and exited to the garden with a menu. Agreed with wife and children on food and went back down to the bar. Two groups placing large food / drink orders which the barman dealt well with. Placed my order and was informed beforehand that there would be a wait as many orders had gone in. Fine as it was a nice day and the kids played in the garden. Food was excellant Soup (mushroom) £3.95, kids fish & chips £4.95 and I had mixed meats and olives. Very nice but at £8.95 £2 overpriced I would say? A very nice time had. One negative comment? As I walked through for the loo all the tables in the upper bar were empty of diners (it was nearly 3pm) but about 6 tables were piled high with dirty plates and glasses> But it was a lovely day, its half term. I think they did well!
