| Nice pub, and friendly staff. Pity it's Fullers, though - I live in London and if I want to have London beer at London prices, I can do it just about any time. And there was no Chiswick on offer. But good for a quiet and relaxing drink, if that's what you want. paul154 - 30 Sep 2011 15:15 |
| Took my family and a friend there on a particularly cold winters evening, for a drink. Two roaring log fires and friendly, welcoming staff helped to create what I perceived to be a friendly atmosphere. Lots of nautical paraphernalia adorn the walls. Definitely worth a visit.

| Best pub in the area by far! There is constantly a good friendly atmosphere no matter who is working which is something most establishments fail to realise is a basic requirement for a good pub! The beers are always of a fantastic standard along with the vodka..it is obvious that Aimee rules the roost which adds to the well run family atmosphere. The food is fantastic with locally sourced ingredients and a true home cooked meal....no chain pub micro meal here!! Prices are in line with the area but the quality much higher. I would advise booking a table as with deals like 2 pie meal deals for £10 on wednesdays from the new forest bakery seats fill up fast, if ever you wanted a true good quality friendly english pub that ticks all the boxes than this is it i only wish i had more time to frequent this establishment!

| Nice old fashioned pub with Fuller's, which is slightly unusual for the area. I particularly appreciate the jazz nights on the cellar Uncle_Dunkel - 21 Oct 2010 14:21 |
| HMS THRACIAN do you still have the Ships Bell My Brother Stephen de Carteret was ,Drafted off to crew the HMS Thracian (D86)which had been captured By Imperial Jap Navy ,Nippon Forces in Hong Kong 15Dec 1941 off Lamma Island and subsequently scuttled by being run aground Round Island in Repulse Bay On the evening of the 16-17 Dec 1941,Salvaged 10 July 42 repaired and placed in service of the IJN, on the 25 Nov 42 as a patrol Vessel No 101 Reclassified on the 15 March 44 as Special training ship No 1. taken to Yokohama , She Returned to the R.N.Oct 1945 HMS THRACIAN was found at Yokosuka, near Tokyo after the occupation of the area in August 1945. An unsuccessful attempt to scuttle had been made and she was lying alongside a jetty where she was recovered by . Steve in the party from HM Destroyer UNDINE in December 1945. One surprising feature was a Japanese centimetric radar fitted aft on a special mast structure and it is reported that she had been used as a Trials ship for the successful LONG LANCE torpedoes, but the ship was clearly in poor condition. She was placed on the Disposal List at Hong Kong and sold in 1946 for breaking-up locally. Miraculously the Ship's Bell survived her service and is now held by the Public House BLUE BOAR" at Poole, Dorset. Steve was part of the theCrewcrew which was to return HMS Thracian to her home port in Hong Kong. Steve died on the 26 Sept 2010 Bottoms Up mikdecar - 13 Oct 2010 20:07 |
