The Wheel Inn, Pennington

Best Pub in the Area ! This Pub has been Saved by a guy who`s reputation follows him. Landlord "Pip", founder of the Hobler (as it Used to be) IS BACK.
The Food from his kitchen is as good as it ever was, nothing short of consistantly Excellent. If anything, His Award Winning Chilli has got even Better ! The Sunday Roasts are Fantastic, Usually offering a choice of 3 different Meats, Top of the bill for me is the Sirloin of Beef, Served as it should be, RARE & cooked to perfection. Best Roast Beef in the New Forest without a doubt. Also, as it's Autumn at Present,The Wild Mushroom Soup is a Must Have. Simply, It's Soup_urb !!!
The Atmosphere is Vibrant, served with a Dash of Lunacy, fuelled by a good range of local real ales, Lagers, well chosen Wines & Spirits from the bar, continuously propped up by a good bunch of locals who feel it's in perpetual danger of falling over.
Live Music is Usally featured once a week on a Sunday Afternoon as well as occasional evenings too. Recently a Great Night was had by all when "The Plonkers"Tm, a legendary Argricultural Orchestra played to a packed house. A Bar Special was Layed on for this event in the form of a barrel of Local 7.9% Cider which kept the idiot sticks rattling all night long.
I Can't say enough about this Pub. After Years of being a White Elephant, The Wheel Inn has now TRULY ARRIVED. It's Fun, Friendly & Tastefull whilst still remaining tradtional. The Food is prepared with love & ALWAYS EXCELLENT with an inavotive & ever changing Menu. This place is well worth a visit & Many will travel for Miles to Dine here. As I said above,, Pips Reputation Follows him, so Give the Wheel a spin, You Won't be disappointed.
