4 May 2011 11:03
A great pub, a lot different and huge improvement since the refurblishment took place, if you remeber to pre-refurb days you know what I mean!!! The only thing I have to say is 2 things.
1. The range of ales are arnt as impressive as before the re-furb, used to be 6 regularly changing real ales but now their is always london pride on with with 1 or 2 guest ales, not a problem the ales are good, but just not a selection that the used to be.
2. The price, its very pricey here if you pay with �5 note for a pint for example, you dont get much change!
But thats the only 2 bad points about the pub, the ales are good, services is excallant, food is brillant, views over the airport is fantastic, good car park, easy access by bus, just an all round decent pub!!!
10 Feb 2011 12:02
The Bushe Cafe, Blackbushe Airport
Enjoyied a Polish Breakfast with a bottle of Spitfire. Really good food avaialbe, plenty on offer. large selection of food and drinks, great views over the airfeild, families welcome, large car park and well worth a visit anytime of the year. Open 7 days a week!!!
10 Feb 2011 11:55
A really good pub, plenty of choice of Real Ales, Real Ciders, and Bottled Beers, Service can be slow at times in busy periods like lunchtimes and evening but not to worry, its worth the wait as the beers are excallant. Ruddless and Abbotts are the regular beers with 3 to 4 guest ales. Had a pint of Wallop and Aligator Ale today, really good!
10 Feb 2011 11:48
I hear their is once again a change of Landlord, not popped in yet but will do to see if their are any changes??
16 Nov 2010 12:22
This is the best pub in Yateley, Clean, Tidy, Smart, and decent raenge of ales on offer. Freindly staff and a decent Garden area. The Garden is nicely seperated into Smoking and Non-Smoking area. which is good especailly if you want to sit outside in the sunshine and not get covered in cigerette smoke!
Is on the LocAle scheme by CARMA for promoteing local real ales such as Hogs Back, Andwells, Ascot, Tripple FFF, and Windsor & Eton.
