This Grade II listed two-bar traditional local combines a consistently high standard in beer quality with a discerning choice of guest ale, usually a local Hampshire brew. May be two guest ales at busy times. Happy Hour 4.30-7 pm Monday to Thursday and all weekend. The pleasant terraced garden at the rear, sometimes the venue for summer live music, backs on to the paying Community Centre car park and gives a peaceful contrast to this bustling town-centre pub. Poker night Tuesdays, quiz night first Wednesday of the month. May close earlier than advertised time if not busy.
