Dont worry love, the manager is so far up his own backside you wouldt have seen him anyway.

Gave it another go while up for the footy again. Wow nothing has changed. The toilets still stunk and the girl who served me couldnt speak any english? This place couldnt be better situated for pulling in the punters. I can only assume the people who run it have the intelligence level of a turnip.

Yep another pissheads pub. Wife and i went in while staying in Leicester for the weekend. Shedfull of people off their heads, and it wasnt 21.30. God only knows how the hell any of them get home. Maybe they just sleep where they collapse?

Well what a suprise, its had a closure order put on it. Theyve got a month to appeal. The only way this place will survive is to get rid of the of the manager and barstaff, and all the people that currently drink there.

The last time i was in this pub i had to have CPR when they gave me the bill.
Dont go in unless youve got a wallet the size of a shed. Still recovering from the shock as it was the worst case of wallet strain ive ever had.

Alright for a pint on the way through. Wouldnt want a session in there.

Use to be a pub, but yet again another one that is just an eating house. Had food of the microwaved variety and beer overpriced.

Ye Olde George Inn, Christchurch
Nice to sit outside and watch the world go by. Had a couple of pints of Silent Slasher that hit the spot.

The Wheatsheaf Hotel, New Milton
Food ok but you need to remortgage your house to buy a drink.

This place gets very busy during the summer (when we have one). Time it right and the meals are not to bad, beer a bit pricey. Nice stop off if like me you like bike riding in the New Forest.

OK place when it was The Centurion. Now its just an eating house. Again another pub that lost its soul.

Stared at as i entered. Stared at as i drank. Stared at as i left. Typical estate pub with locals who think they own the place, and have probebly never been anywhere else.

Nothing to say that would encourage anyone to spend time here. Plonked in an housing estate, with no character. Microwaved food and not very good beer.
Whatever happened to real pubs.

Used it alot when i lived in the area in the 70s.Then it had two bars,and you could get decent beer and food at a reasonable price. Yet another village pub that has been destroyed by becoming upmarket and something that it isnt.
Another one that has lost its soul. Sad.

The Shakespeare's Head, Leicester
Went through the door and nearly fell over the pub cat,chewing on a chicken bone. This place has probebly never been decorated since it was opened. The pint of mild i had was very good and at a price that was a giveaway. OK if you dont mind sitting in somewhere thats a bit dour.

Went in while up in Leicester for the football. Cheap beer didnt try the food.
Very dark interior a bit depressing. Decided i needed the toilet. Never been in one with such a smell of stale urine. Clearly management dont care about the comfort of the customer just the profits. Only good for a cheap pint.

Had a good meal and a couple of pints at a reasonable price. Went in early to avoid the rush.

The Snakecatcher, Brockenhurst
Walked in and the barman completly ignored me, walked out.

The Foresters Arms, Brockenhurst
Use this place when im out biking in the new forest. Food and Beer ok. Recommend it for a couple of beers on the way through.

OK for a meal and a pint at a reasonable price. Gets a bit busy, but doesnt everywhere.

Stated using this place about 10 years ago. Was good then,with good food and beer at a reasonable price. Over the years it has deteriorated, and now i would struggle to recommend it.

The Chequers Arms and Sweet Olive Restaurant, Aston Tirrold
Worked in this village as an apprentice jockey for Frank Cundell in the 70s.
There was another pub called The Boot not far from the Chequers that we also used. Now closed. At the time these were proper village pubs where people went for a pint and had a good time. Sadly the Chequers has become some sort of Gastro pub with expensive drink and food. Spoke to a local recently he said he didnt know anyone that drinks there anymore.

Used it when it was The White Hart. Went in there Saturday 16/01/10,and its still crap.

The Load of Mischief, Blewbury
Pub now closed. Used it alot in the 70s. Had some good times. Sadly another casualty of the times. Soon there will be no village pubs left.and everyone will stay indoors and forget how to communicate.

The Moon in the Square, Bournemouth
Pop in for a pint when im in Bournemouth. Have been in alot JDWs around the country. WUSIWUG, so dont go in them if you dont agree with the concept.

Used it for a drink or two on Mondays while the Market was on. Then the refurb.
While it made the place a bit more contemporary, it lost its soul. Also the prices went through the roof. Wont be going back. Shame.

There is a good chipshop close to the pub so i popped in while my order was being made. Felt as if a fight would breakout at any second, and nearly dropped dead at the price of the beer. Dont bother.

Great pub if like me you like sport. Good banter when football games are on. Also shows the Horseracing and Rugby. Good food and beer.
