A bijou. Pretty pub near Soberton Church. And a 'Proper Pub' where there is cosy space for drinking and a separate area for eating but both served from a central bar. Warm welcome. Roaring log fire in winter. Trestle tables under colour umbrellas in summer. Wide but not OTT pub menu. Doom Bar on draught. Immaculate loos. Well recommended.

The pub has been shut for a few months but now has a new tenant and is due to open at the end of the month.

We checked this pub out yesterday. It was closed even though there was a menu sandwich board outside. It looked bit disorganised inside from a quite gander through the window. The house owner next door confirmed it was closed.
Hopefully it will be back in business shortly as it was a lovely pub in the past.

I am not a real ale drinker, but my mother (who is) informs me they have a good selection. I am more of a lager or Caffreys type peson, so the choice was limited here.
I would NOT RECOMMEND this pub to anyone who wants a value meal and peace and quiet. The prices are shocking (6.95 for 5 prawns) and the portions small.
I might be 'out of touch' with what things cost in the Uk these days (I visit twice a year to my hometown nearby), but for that you can get a 3 course meal in Spain. (And more prawns for your money ;)
On a previous visit (when the past owenrs were in situ), we were given a sardonic grin when we arrived past 1230hrs on a Sunday and were expecting somewhere to sit and eat. We were there before opening time this time round, and got our choice of place. It soon filled up and proved that some folk have more money to spare than they are letting on.
The only saving grace this time round was the bar/serving staff had improved 100%
Despite this we will not be going back again.

It's been my local for a year now and it's still a cracking pub. The beer is good - two local breweries supply the four taps, the cider is good and the food is fantastic.
Plus it won best pub/wine bar in the Portsmouth area.
|
The food is as good as the menu suggests and well beyond the usual pub fare. It's worth visiting just for a drink, but the seasonal offerings on the blackboard lure me out there from Southsea every few weeks.
|
Guaranteed a good pint - a handful of ales on draught and a proper cider on tap.

This has been a lovely country pub for years and I'm glad to say its one of hampshires little gems. Andy has resurrected this wonderful pub. Give it a go!

A lovely country inn, beer is always on form and the menu looks interesting (Not eaten there yet, but I will!) Would recommend!

Attractive old pub next to St. Peter's Church. Two small bars, restaurant and beer garden with a pretty view. There's a handful of ales available.
Also, lurking around are a couple of friendly Old English sheep dogs. There's a stable next to the pub but I don't know if that belongs next door, but it adds to the ambience. The Meon Valley Trail is nearby for walkers and cyclists.
