This pub is the Main pub to try oakleaf, as it is near their own Brewery and The Brewpot, which it their own shop.

much improved pub of late, ale excellent

We found the Clarence Tavern to be a bit too rowdy for our liking. The Welsh rugby match was being blasted out from the speakers and was being shown on a big screen. Many of the locals seemed to be partaking in Guinness and seemingly attempting to drink 6 pints of it to get a free hat, as it was St Patrick's Day! Nevertheless, this is the brewery tap for the Oakleaf brewery, which we saw on a nearby trading estate. IPA, Some Are Drinking & Hole Hearted were the 3 offerings from the brewery. We drank up swiftly and moved on to the altogether more serene Alverbank Hotel in nearby Alverstoke.

been there three times in last two months and the beer has been excellent. Complete turn around in a few months

The worst pint of Oakleaf Hole Hearted I've ever had, which is surprising given the brewery is spitting distance away. One of only a handful of pubs where I've left half a pint and gone elsewhere. I wonder how often they're cleaning the lines.

Good pub. Great beer.
|
not a bad pub, but could be so much better, only seems to have one member of staff on most nights, and they keep popping out for a fag so it takes ages to get served. beer from oakleaf pretty good.
|
Great pub - lots of different sections to it so you can get lost with your mates. A fine selection of ales as well.
|
Large but snug pub serving a good selection of Oakleaf Ales. The Blake's Gosport Bitter was particulary delicious!
