Smallish hotel opposite the ancient abbey church. One big room, a bar to one side and a dining oriented area to the other, there are also function rooms and a large garden which slopes down to one of Romsey�s many streams. Three hand pumps with Courage Best and Directors plus the rather better Youngs bitter, although all are very well kept in keeping with its GBG entry. D�cor is slightly shabby faux victorian with some risque pictures. The staff are professional and attentive and the place has been well run for years by a very experienced friendly couple. The customers are an interesting mixed bunch but generally friendly.

Proper Rat infested S**T hole

Very bad Environmental Health Report!

Good points:
Nice garden in the summer.
Well kept beer.
Not so good:
Pub and rooms need re-decoration, very tatty and run down.
Seems to have a Rattus norvegicus problem in the garden and car park.
Average food at above average prices compared to the rest of the town.

Wonderful pub. Staff friendly and efficient. Check out the beer garden in the summer - beautiful. Definitely recommended.
|
Top pint of Youngs bitter. Good food and all very sociable.

Stayed in this pub for several months back in 2001. Have visited several times since - excellent Best and Directors. Very good food and reasonably priced accommodation. Would thorougly recommend it as landlord/landlady extremely friendly. Function room available and popular with local community.

Without a doubt the best pub in romsey...no jukebox, no television, first class Directors and Courage best The Staff will talk to you instead of grunting and there is an open fire in the winter Good food at reasonable prices in a seperate area. Personally I dont use any other pub in the town.....

Average pub, just a short stroll from some much more interesting ones. Ample seating and function room for hire.
