| Famous traditional pub in the middle of nowhere, still notoriously difficult to find, despite the fact that is now signposted from the main Alton road ( which I dont think it was last time I visited yonks ago ) Perhaps surprisingly, the pub serves a good range of real ale. My pint of Deuchars IPA at £ 2.80 tasted fine. The pub is quite food-orientated on the whole - there's a large restaurant at the back - but even the 2 bars have a warm friendly traditional feel to them. Note the old framed price list in the main bar advertising Bass at 24p, Directors at 28p etc and some old settles. Perhaps also surprisingly, the pub is open all day on Fri, Sat and Sunday. Disappointingly for someone who's not a big fan of dogs, they are allowed in the bar, but horses must remain outside, as the notice says ! There's outside seats for summer drinking , including a garden at the back. Well worth seeking out - recommended to be combined with a visit to the Harrow in Steep, but allow time to find them both !

| Big old pub in remote, somewhat bleak spot up on the downs. Name derives from empty pub sign which swings grimly out on the main road. Two bars and restaurant, lots of room outside and in. The two snug bars inside, candle-lit and cluttered with old furniture have a dark, Jacobean feel which, in winter, warmed by open fires, is wonderfully welcoming. Can seem less so on a summer's day, but a big sprawling garden makes up for that. A brighter and lighter restaurant has been extended at the back. Food is traditional pub stuff but done extremely well with excellent ingredients (Cornish scallops, Scottish mussels or O'Hagan's celebrated sausages), a good repertoire of standards backed up by regularly changing specials. Excellent range of ales including its own No-Name bitter. Has plenty of fans, including the poet Edward Thomas who was a regular and made it the subject of 'Up in the Wind', and celebrated chef and undoubted food enthusiast Antonio Carluccio. Excellent beerfest every July with food, bands, camping available for weekend revellers. and other events through the year (check the listings). Recommended. myPetersfield - 26 Apr 2007 23:08 |
| After being served at the miserable Harrow, we were grateful to arrive here a pub with a story which boasts a nice array of ales and ciders, but more importantly, was friendly! The owners were happy to chat in between tasks and we were made to feel welcome. Beers sampled included Oakhams JHB, with No Name Strong and Best also. The cider was a particularly dry one (Heart of Hampshire I think), which certainly stripped the plaque off the teeth, should keep my dentist happy. Couple of small downsides - I found was that the interior was a bit dark for a sunny day, and I wanted to get outside. I dare say it’s a better bet in the winter months. Also the beer, whilst fair, wasn’t of the quite of the top quality I was hoping for (and I had been spoilt by the Moles!). I am being picky though – it’s well worth a return visit.

| Went there for a meal, on Sunday. Great value food washed down with a pint of "No Name" bitter. anonymous - 2 Apr 2007 14:15 |
| One of my favourite pubs in the world, with a truly unique atmosphere even after renovation. No Name beer is possibly the nicest pint too! Glad its hidden away so only connoisseurs can find it! The only trouble is that we always aim to pop in for a couple of lunchtime pints & end up staying for hours... malgrey - 19 Dec 2006 12:18 |
