Has to be the best pub in Yateley! This freehouse offers 3 Real Ales! Hopefully a bit more vartiey maybe local ales ales I.E Hogs Back, Ascot Ales, Andwells all less than 10 miles from the pub but saying that not to much to complain about!
Clean Tidy, Fresh, Smooth, Packed, A Free House in Yateley hip hip horray! As last!!! Great Food, Packed on opening nite! I hope it continues being busy and real ales are more local and maybe have 5 Handpumpds but cant have you own way!
3 ales on tonight were ringwood fortyninner, Theakstons XB and Coureage Best. The XB was Great!!

Looks like a lot of work has taken place recently, the pub has been shut since January/February (09) and lots to be re-opening at sum point during September 09. Its not a greene king pub anymore, its now a free house which is good news! At this end of Yateley this just this pub and one other! Hopefully, this should be a success! looks like a huge turn around!
Now re-named "The Highwayman"
I really hope they do at least 3 different real ales, one perminant and 2 Guests, and do ales that are not what other pubs have like london pride or ipa, as its a freehouse i hope they expand on the ale list and go for something that other pubs dont have, their a choice 2,500 real ales. Have local ales to the pub, with 10 miles of the pub theirs Hogs Back Brewery Tongham, Ascot Ales Brewery Camberley, Andwel Brewery Hook, Crondell Brewery Crondell/Farnham, even further a feild theirs Surrey Hills in Shere near Woking, Weylands in Addlestone Near Cherstey, Zero-Degrees in Reading. so plenty of Local Breweries for choice! Please new owners, if you read this around the time of Opening the pub, Please be a free for a choice of ales, and make sure you dont have the same ales all the other pubs are doing! The sign says your stocking fine wines, get Denbies Wines from Dorking in Surrey!!

A really decent pub in the village centre, fits in well with the charcater of the village. A nice large pub offering 3 Real Ales - London Pride, and two Guest Ales usually from Youngs and Ringwood range but dosnt brand out somethimes! Log fires, large patio area at the front of the pub! Car Park when full can be tight! But generally an all round good pub! like it!
Good Food, Good Ales, Good Crowd and Good Pub!

The Dog and Partridge, Yateley
Big sign outside, lease up for sale!
From the outside, it dosent look at all advertiseing!!! Its just dier! Pigeon mess all over the front of the pub, needs a good clean from top to bottem, clean those windows and edges! The Dog & Partridge letters need re-brassing, the flowers/handbaskets need to be re-done look dead. lack or no parking, a pub not a restaurtant, offers no food, just bar snacks, looks shut and unwelcomeing! dosent look advertiseing with a few people out the front smoking, swearing and with lager, cant you stick them at the back, with the front being a bit more cleaning and welcomeing? then their the inside! I will be hear all day about it, the floor being sticky and smelly, poor selection of drinks that taste like you've just weed in a glass, dirty glass to! The people are unfreindly and foul mouthed!
A truley dreadful pub! Its only for the people that dont go to other pubs, which is good, cant annoy the rest of us with their swearing and ingoreance of the sun news paper talk!
had only one short sharp drink! certainly will not be returning! takeing my money elsewhere!
If a new landlord takes over their some changes that needed to made!
these are;
A decent selection of Drinks
Clean up the outside of pub to make more welcomeing
Have a Guest Ale that changes fort-nightly
A Food Menu
More freindly and all Round Welcomeing Tradtional Pub
Take a leaf out of popular pubs in the area
Clean Glasses and plates
A range, a good range of Bar Snacks
Have a Bar Area and Restuartant Area
A Yearly Beer Festival! Bring is Back
Have a wider cliently rather than the select locals!
Its in the heart of Yateley, the rest of the centre of the village looks really pleasant, shame the pub cant match it!

i have to say that its a poor pub, rude staff, crap ales, poorly served drinks! waited ages to get served. last time i come here, no wonder their is a lot of negtive comments about the pub. this is for regualars only, it must be hard to attract new custmers to a dive like this!
piss poor!!

A nice and relaxing pub to visit. Its a same the web site is not updated more often, then i could an advance warning of the private bookings for the Satuday Nights, Over nights of the are the best bet to be sure its open to the public! The Co2 Carling and the Beck Viera is really good.
I strongly say that you must visit here!

I think this pub is for the regulars only, anyone new coming for a pint or so would be put off! I wouldnt say its a Real Ale pub at all. Its nothing like for example the Prince of Wales in Farnborough which I go regular.
The spitfire i was drinking was ok, wasnt any food avaialbe in the evening!
