The Hunters Inn, Woodley

This pub was taken over just over 18 months ago and it is clearly visible the effort and care that has been taken by the new licensees. The recent addition of Bowman Ales - Swift One to the pumps is a welcome sight. After sampling all the ales, 3 in total, I can conclude they were all in good condition and served at the right temperature. They now host a quiz every other Sunday and various other events throughout the year, including live music the last Saturday of the month. Food offerings seemed to be varied and reasonably priced, well worth a visit if in the area and definitely a non-pretentious pub.

Lovely to see some changes to the pub décor since recently being taken over. Again prices not the cheapest, but this can't be helped due to being an Enterprise Inns, not a freehouse!! Still a fantastic selection of ales.

Was not impressed, however, by the dog poo in the garden that everyone was walking round but no-one removed, it was there all night!! If dogs are to be allowed off leads then their owners should be more responsible on checking up after them.

I think some people (hillsidepaul & saintmaryssaint) forget that this pub is unfortunately ultimately owned by Enterprise Inns (that massive, money grabbing 'property' company). If it were free of tie (like the guide dog) of course you would then be able to sit there and compare the prices like for like. But it isn't, so you can't. This pub has excellent ale choice all year round, and the beer festivals are second to none in the southampton area, that is why people should 'use it or lose it'!
