The Victoria Arms, Binfield

I am not a big fan of Fullers beer but normally there is a good guest beer on. This place does well because it's the only place within miles where you can drink decent beer and watch sport.
The downsides are: it is ridiculously expensive and some of the cliquey locals are the rudest, most arrogant people you could possibly hope to barge into you without apologising. It's their pub their doing you a favor allowing you in.

The Brewhouse, Poole

Great pub stood at the bar tasting the Milk St beers which inevitably got me into conversation with the beer "clued up" publicans and locals. Watched some eating food from local take aways - it's a locals' pub. Why aren't there more of them?

The Sandacres Free House, Sandbanks

Ditto the earlier post. Walked in to find the staff really welcoming, a few real ales on and the food traditional with gargantuan portions. Good to see that this kind of pub was doing a roaring trade on a Tuesday night.
