Had a couple of pints of Betty Scoggs whilst waiting for the restaurant to open where I had an excellent steak. 2 hand pumps on offer both from England (Spitfire was the other). Shame there was no Jersey ale on but Betty was very good. Quite busy for early evening and locals seemed friendly enough.

Totally agree with jdb1 below. Beer and pub excellent,food not so,in my case fish and chips could have been hotter and fish was undercooked

Always use this pub when visiting the Mid Hants Railway. Always had good beer and enjoy the ambience of the pub.

If you're in Norwich bashing the 47s on the Yarmouth drags this is the pub for your lunch break. Less than 10 minutes from the station and a good choice of ale and food.

Went there on Saturday and a sign in the doorway said the pub was temporarily closed. So I walked down the hill to The Coach and Horses

Last used this bar about 20 years ago when it really was something special. Broke my train journey specially to see what it was like now and was disappointed to see the place had changed drastically. The bar had been moved around and the room opened out into the waiting room next door. Large screen tv on the wall and generally sanitised. 3 beers were on Green King IPA and LBW ,and Old Speckled Hen. Used to be worth missing the train for, sadly no longer the case.

Myself and 3 mates spent a very pleasant afternoon in this terrific boozer. Robbie the bar manager is a great guy who mades us welcome and was only to happy to explain the merits of all the beers and ciders. Off the tourist rout so not crowded with grockles. Would make this pub the number one place to visit if you want a good pint.

Probabaly the top real ale outlet in Jersey (and Malt whisky too)Half a dozen or so real ale pumps and 3 cider. All bar one from the Channel Islands. Whychwood was the other. Very comfortable pub and friendly to this visitor too.
