I must quote comment by my friend who with me used to visit the Cuckoo back in the early 1960s:

"The Cuckoo was the one with the little shop on the right hand side. I can still remember the old lady who used to come into the bar in her dressing gown and her hair in curlers to fill up her hot water bottle from the kettle hanging over the fireplace. And that table in the middle that was so well scrubbed it had valleys and hills along its length. The gamekeeper with his shotgun and his dog in the bar. Bitter was only 1/8d a pint when is was 2/6d in London."

This is a 'proper' country pub, well kept and seems well run. Best of all were the ales served from barrels behind the bar. There were 5 on last night plus a scrumpy, the ones I tried came up well and were very good.

Not a bad little boozer. Tim Bacon (the Guv'nor) keeps a good pub!! A little disappointed today, as the 'Doom Bar' was below par (excuse the pun Mr. Anderson). Otherwise, the joint is normally good for its beer.

Gorgeous weather today and although not on the way to Romsey for Football later, well worth the visit and a seat in the back garden for contemplation.

Beer festival going on at the moment, a mystery beer which they invite you to guess (Very similar in taste to Sharps Doom Bar)

Had their usual wide range of ales, Mate had a Halcyon Daze which he enjoyed.

Looking forward to my next visit already.

Excellent character pub, a good selection of well kept real ales and a limited range of good food from the kitchen. Unspoilt interior looks like its always been this way with a number of separate rooms in the older style. Friendly locals to chew the fat with too, cannot recommend it highly enough!
