The Augustus John, Fordingbridge

Stayed at this pub on the recommendation of friends. The beer was excellent, the food superb and the accommodation was more than adequate for a B&B in this part of the world. On top of this the staff were very welcoming and went out of their way to help. The locals told me that the pub had recently changed hands and the new landlady, Lorraine, is a welcome improvement over the previous incumbent. The atmosphere in the bar on the two nights we were there was very welcoming and made our stay a real treat. I don't usually go to the same place twice for weekend breaks but will certainly put this pub in my Satnav for future visits.
