Napoleons, Highcliffeback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
This is really a pub that needs a facelift. It is one of those pubs where the same old regulars gather around the bar and when you walk in, everyone looks at you. It is scruffy and tired and in fact, everyone I know in Highcliffe would not touch it with a bar-pole. The owners need to get their act together, see that Highcliffe is changing, and that pubs like Napoleons are a thing of the past. In fact, how do they survive? It really is dire.

Not the sort of place you'd usually find me in but the beer, Marstons EPA, was in good form and reasonably priced. Will pop in again when travelling through.
|
Ringwood best and 49er now, still busy with the 'mature' residents while its light, not busy in the evenings.
|
Alright for a pint on the way through. Wouldnt want a session in there.
|
Back to Courage Directors only now. Worth a visit though.
|
Now reopend as O'Reilys. Still have Courage Directors, and now Courage Best as well, more in the way of evening entertainment now, such as kareoke and discos.
|
Seems to be always closed now, in the evenings at least.
|
Was taken over by a new couple 2 weeks ago, also Lenny, a regular, has been away for some eye treetment, who was often the sole costomer between 2200 and 2300, the bar does most of it's trade during the day, serving the more 'mature' residents of Highcliffe. Any one kow what Sue, the previous owner is up to now?

Seemed to be losing the plot recently, this evening, during easter week, was all dark and cloded looking at 1000pm, hope all is well, but....
|
Now does a really well kept Ringwood 49ER, oh and Courage Directors.
