The Prince Alfred, Upper Hale

Went here with the Wife this Saturday at around 9.30pm to try the Ringwood which I noted here was on offer, the pub was closed, despite the sign declaring 11pm closing time. I thought the pub had closed permanently but it seems that when he is quiet he chooses to close, what an attitude.
I shan�t be trying that again there are much better pubs locally where the business is appreciated by Landlords who are prepared to make an effort.

The Ball and Wicket, Heath End

Got to say we had a wonderful family lunch here, the staff Gary employs are always so attentive, it really makes coming out on a cold, damp and miserable day worth it.
The beers were all on top form, I was hoping to see the beers at Farnham BEEREX but Gary thinks it unlikely as he hasn�t had his beers represented locally for a couple of years now, you would think the local CAMRA would support a small brewery on their doorstep. If they said the beers weren�t good enough, well have they got that wrong, the beers are excellent. I hope that Gary gets more support for all his hard work, out of all the pubs in Hale this really is the best for community support, fund raising and just as a really comfortable place to be.

Took my family for a meal the other day, I have to say I was impressed with the new chef. His meals are really tasty and remarkably good value, the whole restaurant has a much more warm, comfortable feeling and the service is very professional, I would definitely recommend this to my friends.
Beer on top form as usual and there seemed to be quite a few enjoying it.
Top pub.
