Not that under 14 years are not allowed in the bar - okay in the summer - but in the winter is it outside in a marquee.
Dont mind about the policy but could have been delivered in a more friendly manor - checked out the HInton Arms - what a difference in attitude

Been here a few times now - never very busy - a friendly welcome each time. Had Alton pride and moondance on - both excellent (moondance just finshed and replaced with London pride) Had food her on Sat Lunch time - all very good - veggie options very tasty indeed - much better than the usual nuked lasange that gets served round here. Food was not cheap but you could tell were the extra money went - puddings were good too

Food was fine when we went earlier in the week - large range of food sampled so don't think quality has altered at all. Beer was well kept but not as adventerous as usual - 6X, Brakespears, Adnams broadside plus one other.
Still an excellent pub - huge beer garden at the back too

It's been several years since I was in here last, The internals have changed since making it a lot more open and airier. 2 real ales I had were both excellent.

The Portsmouth Arms, Basingstoke
Was here on a Sunday - pub is fine, big car park so not an issue getting parked. Fursty ferret was very drinkable. Food was okay - have eaten in a few woodhouse pubs - so standard menu - Queens college arms (Tadley way) does the same food but better.
Had a few beers in here on Friday night - not sure if the turn over is too high and the barrels don't have enough time to settle but beer is not as good as it could be - and I am a fan of Badger beers.
(playground is good for the kids on a Sunday)

The Bishop On The Bridge, Winchester
Fullers pub serving well kept fullers beer. Was in over lunch time - food was good, staff friendly too.
Open fire in the middle of the pub was very nice especially after a chilly morning shopping in Winchester

Great beer - Pots and Summer Lightning - Food in restuarant side was very good - a little over the odds - but very good - desserts especially. Had no problems with service

The Hinton Arms, Cheriton
only stopped for Sunday lunch - beer was good, food was good (£11) for a risotto is expensive.
But welcome was good and the puddings at £5 each were good value.
Would be back.
