Cricketers, Blandford Forum

The best pub I've visited in ages. Joe & Sally are so friendly it's such a surprise in these days of making a quick buck. The meals and good and the menu is varied. Beers were excellent but can't remember the local pint I chose.

Parked before opening and was warmly greeted and one of the party was even loaned a hat for our walk.

The Black Horse, Crookham Village

In Oct 16 it had closed again. I think this might be the end for this village pub. Watch out for Tesco Express.

Drovers Inn, Gussage all Saints

Pub has now been opened again under local community ownership - well done people. Visited last night for a quick pint to add my support and it was very welcoming, my pint was probably from the Ringwood Brewery (not sure) and was good. Reasonable amount of parking and a beer garden out front with new shades, tables & chairs. Looked at the food menu which wasn't extensive but we need to remember the pub has only just opened and will need time to build up the menu to what sells to keep the place viable. The pub is tucked away in a small village, and might be a good stopping point on walks as the countryside around is stunning.
