| Visited a few weeks ago. The pub's main attraction is its massive (60+ tables?) beer garden and patio, which includes several covered gazebos as well. It really is lovely there on a warm day. We had a meal, but as other reports here have indicated, the service was horrendous. My husband bravely waited in a 10-deep queue for around 20 minutes just to order the food. The meal was a bit expensive for fish and chips and a pie, but the quality was alright. It also took a while to get served at the bar. As I was walking away, having already been served, it sounded like someone in the food queue dared to complain about how long it took to get served and the woman behind the bar basically said, "...if you don't like it, you can go elsewhere..." Not exactly what I'd call a smashing attitude. Perhaps they feel they don't require more customers - the place was packed when we were there. gypsygrrl - 30 May 2008 12:09 |
| My wife and I were staying in Brockenhurst . Although this pub was not on the recommended list provided by a friend who is a regular visitor to the area, we thought we would try it for an evening meal. I should have recognised the warning signs as soon as I entered. The "specials" chalk boards were clearly not updated regularly; the menu items were obviously part of the regular menu. The hot food serving area appeared it was rarely used. A glance through a glass-panelled door in to the kitchen area suggested little activity. My minimal expectations were realised by a half roast chicken that looked and tasted like a late dinner reheated. My wife’s chilli beef (slightly more appetising) had so many chopped red chilli’s with seeds intact that she abandoned it after a sterling effort. My best guess is that in a prominent position next to a busy through route and with a large garden with outdoor heaters, this pub/hotel must depend on passing summer trade. One to avoid in future.

| More of a hotel and restaurant than a pub with a limited range of real ales and the beer and food is pricey. Photos of local airfields from the War adorn the walls which are interesting to look at.Nice beer garden on the side.Staff a bit slow serving when I've been in there. hogshead - 25 Feb 2008 19:38 |
| Been in there twice. Both times had to wait a long time to be served as there only seemed to be one guy working (dealing with the hotel and everything). Very hot, very loud music, but still a lot nicer than any Eldridge Pope I've ever been in! The food looked very unappealing and the prices were insane. Seems to be trying very hard to be posh, but failing. popiellajones - 23 Feb 2008 19:51 |
