Excellent pub !
Great beers from Triple ff- well it is the tap after all.......and guests available too !
We tried a couple and they were both great condition- good price and pleasant service.......pity they don't doo any food, even a pie would be something........as in a pie & a pint..........perhaps.......!?

P.S. Moon dance is really lovely & full of flavourrr........

A quiet, traditional pub. The beer is an attraction - and the atmosphere is great while waiting for a train! The Triple fff I Don't Remember was on fine form.

Not to be confused with the Railway over the road.

Triple fff Alton's Pride, Moondance (£2.80) and Stairway (£2.90) plus Surrey Hills Ranmore. Beer quality was excellent. Reasonably busy on a late Saturday afternoon.

Visited for the first time in a few years on Sunday afternoon. The pub was reasonably busy with a selection of locals having a quiet chat and laugh, along with a few visitors from the nearby Mid Hants Railway.

The pub is done out in stripped wooden funature, mainly high benches with a low table and chairs in each bay window. There is a wooden floor but there isn't the hollow echoing that you can get in some pubs with similar flooring. The place was clean and tidy. A notable feature was that the booth we sat in had it's own individual mini tv. In a blast from the past, there were a couple of the dreaded Watney's Red Barrel advertising barrels hanging from the ceiling.

There were the usual fff ales avaliable: Alton's Pride, Pressed Rat & Warthog, Moondance and Rock Lobster with Vale Temptation as a guest. Addlestone's Cider was avaliable, along with Stowford Press on keg.

Very nice atmosphere with a fantastic range of beers. Some unusual local brews as well as some classics. Great place to start before moving up into the town centre, or waiting for a bus/train.
