| Once I'd gotten over the unusual entrance (more like a garden patio - but maybe there's a 'front door' on the other side?), and the fact that the inside is half 'club' (i.e. very open) and half 'pub' (trad d�cor with knick-knacks), I was pleasantly surprised. Unlike so many other Basingstoke pubs, they did at least have a cask ale on (only spotted the one, Courage Best, but it was very pleasant). And the place was friendly and comfortable. So I'm sure I'll pop in again. Trev - 4 Nov 2011 22:55 |

| Popped in on the way over to Old Basing. For an estate pub I didn't think it was too bad. There's a nice sloped garden area outside, with pub itself situated at the bottom of the dip with the whole thing surrounded by a bright red wooden fence which looks like it came from a Lego set. The front bar was in a decent state of repair and quite light thanks to a whacky 70's-inspired window which seems to take up most of the nearside wall. Two beers on (Batemans and Courage). My Batemans was unremarkable but I've had a lot worse in 'nice' pubs. Basic food on offer if I recall. Clientele were gruff but unobtrusive. Never going to win awards but nonetheless a fair estate pub. Quinno - 30 Jul 2009 12:26 |
| I went in there and thought i was at a pubwatch photo shoot. I think the owners only recieve photo updates to know who their regulars are. make.it.a.doulble. - 10 May 2009 23:00 |
