The Fox, Ellisfield

I used to pop in here once in a while when in the area, and was always good, nice ales, friendly, and food good. Then it seemed to have a new landlord, and went downhill a little, but still not that bad, but it seemed all the locals had deserted the place, and that took something away from what had been a nice atmosphere.

Then called in again this summer - wow, what a change, new landlord is great. staff really can't do too much. Food - fantastic and great value. Service wonderful. I am a bit tight when it comes to tipping, but we just had to here - and the tip was refused! "your custom is all we need for a tip"

When I needed a venue for a family get together this was the obvious choice, even though not on my doorstep.

From the outside one wonders how this place keeps going, as it looks like all those good old pubs that closed long ago. Take a step inside and you will find a real gem of a place.

A really good, old fashioned pub. The natives are very friendly. Nice choice of real ales from interesting small brewers.

Interesting and sometimes eclectic themed nights e.g. retro computer games.

Well worth a visit

Have you ever wondered where Jeremy Kyle finds the 'guests' for his shows? Well now you know! That said, this is a great place to have a pint and be a fly on the wall. one would not want to be seen as a participant thought.

Not sure beer has been kept that well. but so cheep, who is bothered?

This is one place that is so wrong I can recommend it for entertainment value.

The Beehive, Aldershot

Very much a "locals" pub, and they seemed happy... ah bless. rather unwelcoming though for a non-local. they have what looked like some nice real ales, but they didn't taste like they should do.

One doesn't expect great things of pub toilets, but wow, these are bad, if Thames water where to have a 'blow back' it may even do some improvements.
