| Romsey IPA, Bowman Wallops Wood & Swift One, Ringwood Best, Ballard’s Best. Carpetted bar, partly divided into front & smaller rear sections, low then very low beamed ceilngs, mix of wood & copper-topped tables, slightly ‘70s retro feel, some banquette seating & stools, dartboard at far end although corner table would need moving. Nice little paved beer garden with light pine picnic sets, some umbrellas, trees & shrubs attractively complement the scene. The stable door allows the pub to be aired in nice weather but prevents the Lancashire Heeler (Toby) from making his escape. There is the story of the local, horrific, murder of ‘Poor Fanny Adams’ in 1867 & check out the photo above the real fire ‘Farnham United Breweries, Fine Ales & Stout Drawn from the Wood’. I have a note that this is local Camra poty, but a couple of others I visited on the day would be serious competition. trainman - 6 Jul 2008 09:30 |
| Would disagree about the the variable beer quality Gazza but know what you mean about the grumpy old gits! Would hazard a bet that you called in at lunchtime?? alebear - 8 Jun 2008 17:02 |
| The beer quality varies a bit in here but what really bugs me is having to ask for our pints to be topped up every time. Some of the customers do there best to emulate Grumpy Old Men. GazzaTheBeerMan - 3 Jun 2008 17:11 |
| Up the main drag and turn left by the Crown Hotel past the church and then on yer right........job done. Cracking selection of beer, always well kept and always a varied selection. Beware 'crossword corner' and political bores tho! ;-) alebear - 27 Nov 2007 20:23 |
| This may be a very good pub. But finding this pub is something out of a treasure hunt challenge! aleman - 18 Feb 2007 02:23 |
