Closed, boarded up and surrounded by wired panels, looks like the end of another pub

Here last Saturday @ 1.15pm and closed.
Dosn't look to have been abandoned like the Holbury Inn

brilliant little pub! i recomend anyone come here if your looking for a good laugh and a really chilled out atmosphere. bar staff are friendly and not short of a bit of banter.
food was good i had BBQ ribs chips and salad and my plate was over flowing with what i thought was scrummy pub grub. you can tell the pub is still gping through a big refurbishment and they were saying about a play area and festivals going up in the top field which is great for families.
what a great little local gem :D brilliant night

Doom Bar and Ringwood Best on the handles, I tried the former and it was in good condition. Landlord and Landlady (tenants) friendly and keen to promote their pub including Christmas menu. Tried the soup which was excellent with two generous portions of french bread and butter. Didn't try any other food however, the range of food on offer was not extensive or entirely to my taste but the landlord stated that all food was locally sourced. Refurbishment still in progress.

Visited today after hearing it had changed ownership....only one comment to make DONT BOTHER IF YOU WANT DECENT FOOD.
The Sunday lunch can only be described as horrendous......Very over priced frozen food, a child could have done better....Pate starter with a lettuce garnish , toast and margarine, soup with value bread and marg. Roast ...everything was frozen , maybe except the yorkshires....Aunt Bessies would have been better. Didnt bother with sweet as overheard other comments and saw what was coming from the kitchen. A total waste of money , would not return and definately DO NOT RECOMMEND!!! Shame as could be a lovely pub and one would think new owners either have very low standards or havent got a clue how to build their trade.

No mobile coverage (not a bad thing).
Beer quality varies (not sure why) but Ringwood goes from very nice to a bit yuck. Could be slow turnover of beer. Wine is somewhat insipid. Guiness is a good alternative to duff beer/wine.
Food is reasonably priced and usually quite nice. Weekends can be quite busy.
It's got a nice garden - although as it's next to a stream, sometimes a few buzzy things annoy - in a beautiful location (says Holbury but it's actually on the forest.
Good car-parking. Clean pub/toilets, good location.

Excellent atmosphere, always made to feel welcome, good beer and lovely food.

Friendly local pub serving Ringwood beers. Separate restaurant and saloon bar, great place to escape from the world or for a quiet pint
