Queens Arms, Basingstoke

Milds in May! A fantastic day at The Queens yesterday. Excellent stuff indeed.

The Castle, Basingstoke

I was saddened when I saw his place yesterday - apart from the name 'Poison' - the interior has been completely gutted. This was a fine example of a real pub, one of a very rare breed in Basingstoke and someone has destroyed it all. Why did they have to choose The Castle? You can take any old unit in town and turn it into a bar. No regard for history at all. It is a real, real shame.

The Soldiers Return, Basingstoke

It's open again! Bit strange walking back in there this evening but a lot of features there from before. Very surprised indeed, I never thought I'd see this house open again.
