| Interesting to read some contrasting views about this pub. I should say I've only found myself here twice; once about 4 years back and again last Monday, courtesy of the Good Beer Guide of course. I ate on the first occasion and found the food to be hearty, a good portion, and very tasty (they employ what looks to be a "chef" as opposed to a cook and the menu looked fantastic - also it has a heavyweight wine list to match; it's a rare boozer that sells '78 Port, '96 and '05 mid-range Bordeaux!). On both occasions I found the beer selection to be excellent, although on the recent visit the conditioning was perhaps a notch off-kilter, but this may be a rarity. The interior exudes well-heeled classic rural pub, logs and dogs, and is most welcoming. There was some local gents clearly enjoying a good session at the bar, and although the landlady/barmaid seemed a little schoolmistressy, she was pleasant enough. The real chink in the armour at the V & A is the pricing. Luckily, it was my friend's round, but he reliably informed me afterwards that he got stung for a hefty amount just for 2 halves. Perhaps the standard of the cuisine, and the wine, can justify a more generous mark-up, but, good as the ale range was, it didn't justify the prices in my opinion. In general, a very nice establishment, but maybe just a touch self-important, and more than a touch over-priced. TWG - 9 Oct 2008 16:10 |
| It's an OK pub -- nothing more. On our visit they had, interestingly, a couple of expensive Okell beers from the Isle of Man. Not really the island's star export -- we know these beers very well. What particularly irritated us was the profusion of notices telling customers what they COULD NOT do in the garden. Please, please spare us from licensees who wants to lay down obvious rules of behaviour. Why not just tell us that we are welcome -- we didn't get that impression here. Braganca - 30 Jun 2008 01:08 |
| Been to this pub many times on the way to the racecourse, always a good range of beer, went on Tuesday 10th June and had a big shock.........2 pints of beer cost £6-40p, normal strength beer from fff brewery at Alton so not even many 'beer miles' to explain the cost, will look elsewhere next time !! potable50 - 13 Jun 2008 12:02 |
| Nice choice of ales, tho three of the four were 5%. Hogs Back RIP, Branscombe Summa That, Slaters High Five, 3 Castles Leap Beer. Lovely slow burning log fire greets you with that great charred wood aroma as you enter & adds an immediate homely feel. The problem was that this out-of-town pub was visted during the Sunday ‘de-brief’ and as it is evidently popular for food, esp Sun lunch, ALL tables were reserved for diners, many of which stood empty awaiting arrivals, meaning that drinkers were left with little space at the small and fairly choked bar. It is, however, a lovely thatched building with low beamed ceilings, decorated with brasses, some wooden picnic sets to the front and, standing opposite the church, carries all the trademarks of a great country pub, we were served quickly stayed for a a few. Oh, and that food did look pretty good! trainman - 25 Feb 2008 13:23 |
| A lovely old pub with uneven floors and low door openings. I had a bacon sandwich for lunch which was stuffed full of bacon and with a large side salad included. Beers were excellent, can't remember them all but a good choice and well kept. Well worth a visit if you are anywhere near Salisbury Artonsleeve - 21 Jun 2007 21:20 |
