The Black Horse Inn, Hulland Ward

Went here for a meal at lunchtime on a saturday. Place was pleasant enough, nice oak beams, etc, but a bit tired. Staff were generally friendly and welcoming.

3 real ales on, but nothing special. Pint of special hen was fine.

Food however was pretty dire. I had fisherman's platter, which was huge, but the a very poor selection of fish, all pretty poor quality. Cod, place and salmon i believe. Where were the calamari rings? Where was the scampi. It was all cooked adequately, but then its not that hard to deep fat fry some frozen/fish.

My wifes meal however was almost comedically bad. She went for the 'special' of duck in a sweet chilli sauce' This was essentially a super noodle dolloped on a plate, with a duck breast on top, covered with sweet chilli sauce out of a bottle, and nothing else. No veg whatsover. It looked and tasted awful.

It was all very cheap though, but i can see why....

The Funky End, Aldershot

Best pub in aldershot by a long way.

Im not sure what the other posters are on about but tis always been relatively spotless when ive been there.

Excellent quiz on wednesday nights.

The only complaint would be (and its a big one), no real ale! Not even a bottled one. So unless you want larger your stuck with john smiths of guiness.

The William Cobbett, Farnham

Its dark, its dirty, its full of nooks and crannys, its got an eclectic mix of ciliental, its everything a pub should be!

Good selection of ales. Ive had the odd duff pint there though.

Best (and by far the most interesting) pub in the town centre.
