It is gratifying that with the reopening of the Binsted Inn (previously the Cedars) in the village of Binsted on 10 November we now have a net increase of one in the number of licensed premises selling real ale compared with immediately before the first Covid lockdown in March 2020. Other recent reopenings include the Three Horseshoes in East Worldham and the Bakers Arms in High Street, Alton both following a change of management. Updates to WhatPub for these have been completed and watch out for Pub Clips.
