Large working pub, nice beer & staff were friendly enough, too many screens for my liking but still OK

Went on a Tuesday on my way to a gig.
The place was very busy & I can see why,the food was good & exceptional value & plenty of beers to choose from.
Quite noisy & a young clientele, good though.

Northbrook Arms, East Strotton
Beer was excellent
My food was pretty good too, however my missus said hers was bland.
Service was not very attentive, however friendly enough when it did happen.
All in all not as good as it used to be, but still worth a visit.

The Portsmouth Arms, Basingstoke
Mediocre
Can't think why you would visit unless you are local

Had a few pints later in the evening.
Had 4 ales on tap, two of which I tasted and both were very good.
Friendly and nice pub.
Well worth another visit

Popped in while waiting for my takeaway on a quiet Sunday evening.
Pint was fine and it seemed inviting and friendly, Nice interior and I hear the food is good as well.
I agree it is a shame the name has changed, however don't let that put you off.

My Revd James was pretty good, but they served off milk with my missus coffee,
The service seemed to lack any real care.

Lovely seating area outside with a great view over the Hampshire countryside.
Great selection of well kept beer.
My missus says the food is very good as well.
Great pub, must go back soon

Sam Smiths OB bitter was in fine condition

The Tattershall Castle, Embankment
Fantastic view over the Thames, that is the only positive thing I can say about it.

Was immediately greeted by the friendly barman, who suggested and gave me a taste of an ale as I was overwhelmed by the fantastic choice.
Had standard pub grub which was fine.
A splendid London pub, Highest I have ever marked a Nicholson's pub.

The Mariners Inn, Nolton Haven
Great location, sitting outside overlooking the gorgeous Welsh coast.
Had a feeling of a 80s working mans club to me
3 May 2011 10:34
A bit of a mix really.
Food was pricey but very nice.
Service was very good overall, apart from the fact it took ages to pay, got fed up waiting and took my money to the bar, to be served by the very pleasant smiley barmaid.
3 pumps, but only Bass available on one day and it wasn't that great, went on another day and enjoyed a couple of fine pints of Revd James.
Fantastic view from the window seat.
Really not sure how to mark this one. perhaps a 7 for all the positive points.

Went there last night with a group of friends and can't fault the place.
The food was delicious, the staff were helpful & attentive and the triple fff beer pale ale was well kept & just what you need on what seemed like a summers evening.
All in all excellent

The Foresters, Church Crookham
Has more of a restaurant feel than a pub inside. The garden out the back looked a nice place for a summers day pint or few.
Had 2 beers on, both of which were very drinkable, and the food was tasty, certainly worth another visit, staff that dealt with us were friendly.
All in alI liked it

The Rose and Crown, Upper Farringdon
Excellent pub.
Nice area to eat and a nice bar as well, food and beer were very good.
What I liked most was how friendly the service was.
Well worth going out of your way to visit

Nice friendly proper pub near the station with good beer.
Well worth a visit

CAMRA pub of the year.
Well done and well deserved.
Just goes to show those CAMRA types know what they are talking about
24 Feb 2011 10:56
Food was just about alright and the Ale wasn't good at all.
Wouldn't bother again.

Popped in for a pint with a few friends on Friday, very busy but well worth the visit, I like pubs with good beer and friendly staff, so I liked this one.
Nice interior as well.

Nice pub with well kept beer & friendly staff.
Well worth a visit

Went to this fantastic pub last Saturday with a bunch of friends, and have to say what a a fantastic place it is.
They charge �1 a plate to bring food in, which not only is a great idea, but means they are very much focused on being a pub.
The ale was well kept and delicious.
The bar staff were all friendly and pleasant.
First time I have scored a pub 10/10

Visited for lunch midway through a walk,
Food and beer were very good, well worth a visit.
Only slight criticism is the lack of vegatables with the pie if you choose chips, other stuff came without veggies as well.

NIce pub & decent ale.
Landlord thanked us as we left which is always a nice touch.
4 Jan 2011 11:31
How a pub should be.
Excellent range of beers, well kept in barrels.
Not for foodies though, as unusually they are not focused on that.

My pints of Kents best were very good, and the staff seemed freindly enough.
A down to earth pub with plenty of appeal
10 Dec 2010 14:38
Only 1 beer on
Staff were uninterested in serving
Upstairs is for diners only.
Lots of much better pubs nearby, avoid.

Great selection of well kept beer
Full of charm and character
One of Londons best
8 Dec 2010 12:42
Quirky, with the a very odd collection of bits & pieces
Good Beer, friendly staff.
All in all a excellent pub & worth a visit

I agree with Spiggy.
What a shame it closed.
Best of luck to Adrian, Lydia and all the staff.
I always thought the beer was excellent

I like this pub.
The beer is good and the food is very good. What a great turnaround from the dump it was before.
The landlord is a character and is always friendly to me and my family, as is everyone else working in the pub, I have never seem the landlady scowl and am amazed at that comment.
If you want good food and service in a lovely place then this is for you.

Visited on Saturday midway through a walk with a few friends for lunch and a couple of pints,
Beer was very good
Food was very good
And the staff very helpful and friendly
To copy Hilary's quote 'Faultless'
Visited the Barley Mow later and what a contrast!
22 Nov 2010 15:55
Nice pint of Doom bar.
Nice spot.
But blimey what a miserable unhelpful barmaid.
A complete contrast to the cheerful and helpful staff at the Donkey

The Cyder House Inn, Shackleford
Lovely building in a lovely village, but it all goes wrong after that.
Very very long wait for food
Out of the 7 meals ordered they forgot 2, so had to wait even longer
They asked what sauces were required, then bought them after the meal was finished
The crab linguini (Main) was tiny and largely devoid of crab.
Other diners were also getting very frustrated, with the dreadfull service.
To be fair they did take some money off the bill, but really need to do so much better.
2/10
