The Fleur de Lys, Pilley

As a local to Pilley for the last number of years I am very pleased to report that the Fleur de Lys is a completely transformed establishment. When I first came to the Forest it was talked about as a place to avoid at all costs, and I am happy to confirm that the complete opposite is now due. The pub has been completely transformed in the last 7 months or so, from what used to be an empty pub with an empty bar into a heaving meeting, eating and talking place for Boldre & Pilley. The stock of Ringwood, both Best & 49'er is some of the best I have ever tasted and the food ranging from simple sandwiches and pizzas for light meals to the usual pub classics and even Tapas being offered for the summer. All is well priced and makes much more sense (and lighter on the wallet) than another pub in Boldre (naming no names but there is only one). As a local, I am very proud to call the Fleur my pub of choice when wanting to pop out to say hello to friends and the landlord/lady Nick & Ally. Forget your worries and hearsay on the old Fleur, this is well and truely the new Fleur and well worth a visit!
