Walked past this Pub last week, saw the sign for "Happy Hour" and decided to venture in. unfortunately at 16:20 in the afternoon it was CLOSED, not opening until 17:00. Shame, looked a nice place and as it was a lovely sunny day a Beer in the Garden would have been nice. It is nice they can aford to close in the afternoon and miss out on passing trade. Needless to say I ventured on by and gave my trade to another establisment.

Had dinner here twice during a recent stay in town, stayed elsewhere, our experience was good both times. Food was first class and served promptly. Staff seemed friendly enough and had no problem getting drinks served promptly and although there were yatchy types at the bar (referred to as toffs and lah-di-das here) it is to be expected given location right behind a couple of clubs - but they were not off-putting in any way.

I wonder if the negative reviews have anything to do with the locals. This was our first visit to Lymington and noticed the town has an ageing population. We were told by one of the oldeies that 'the pub was run by young loud aussies, with modern fusion food and was not liked by locals' - this warning before we went to the pub the first time. We only went cos it was the nearest to where we were staying and it was 9pm! Glad we did.

bored with the pretentiousness of the place. Cheap decor, even cheaper staff and the food is awful. It is not rocket science to hold a decent beer but they manage to cock it up big time. Awful now, a good example of how belief in your own PR means that you lose contact with the people that pay the bills.......the customers. Who is that idiotic barman? Is he for real?

I agree with previous posters comments - visit for the Fuggle Dee Dum but not much else. Yes the garden is nice if you can find a seat away from the very-loud yachting brigade. Also the staff shouting out the BBQ orders continually across the place.

It's all very smart inside but the staff have that tell-tale sign - of all wearing matching black shirts. So, no suprise when no attempt made to serve people in the right order (and the la-di-da customer willing to try and jump the queue when she was given the chance) nor the surly attitude from the local youth who was eventually serving me when I tried to get my second pint topped up to cut down on the 1" head of froth. But at least my first pint was served properly by an efficient east European women.

Needs to try harder - 5/10.

Three or four ales usually on. Too be honest, this is the only reason why we visit. It caters more to toffs (!) but has a nice garden at the rear where its pleasant to knock back a Goddards Fuggle Dee Dum (Isle of wight brewery).
The ales are always kept well - I've never had a bad one unlike other places in town. All in all a reliable joint on our ale circuit around Lymington.
