Yet again under new stewardship. Went on a Tuesday night to discover that the car park was full, a good sign. Turned out to be the Quiz Night. Nothing wrong with that, if it fills the pub.
Looked at the menu, straight out of the freezer shop. Ordered food, was advised there might be a delay, which there was not, another plus.. Sadly the Risotto we ordered had been heated in the oven and was solid. You should not have to cut Risotto with a knife. Tasted acceptable and was warm but obviously the local school dinner cook has an evening job.
Poor selection of beer (being Enterprise Inns) and the I have tasted better Butcombe, not particularly well kept.
Drinks Prices were reasonable and food was cheap.
Full marks for trying, but you will have to do better.

Back in service after a recent refurbishment which has cheered the place up quite a bit.Plenty of space in the bar and eating areas.
The new tenants are trying their best with a good selection of beers and the food was pretty good as well.
Keep up the good work.

Lovely pub with great beers, I had the guest beer Ringwood 49'er which was fantastic.
Food was good too.

Pleasant village local at the heart fo the village and open all day. Had Otter and Triple F's Alton Pride on. The Alton Pride was on excellent form. Quite large open plan place with a cross section of the village community in attendance.

A really friendly family pub that I have now visited on several occasions with a good beer garden, play area for children and very decent food. A recent paint job to the outside of the building is very smart. Good bands and a lively atmosphere on a Friday evening.

Lovely friendly family pub. Well kept beer when I visited, will come again.

Nice village pub, very much a locals' social centre. Friendly ambience, reasonble prices but a bit off the beaten track.
Although they had 2 ales on, it clearly isn't a drinkers' pub as such - my St Austell's Tribute was off but was readily replaced. HAppy to pop in for a pint when I'm passing.

Been here a couple of times now (it being within walking distance) and alwways amazed how quiet it is. Nothing wrong with the beer but have not tried the food yet, plenty of space, nicely kept, so why no punters? Outside a little tatty and could do with redecoration but other than that, support it or loose it.

Dead as a dead thing last time I visited. Nice big pub with a lot of potential, will have to return to see it for an evening to really get a feel for the place though the beer was ok.

a true classic of its time, fraught with passionate memories-a rumbunctuous miltonic thump.
