This newbuild which opened September 2020 is built in the style of a historic Hampshire farmhouse with an attached barn with wooden-beamed high ceilings. This large, mainly open plan pub majors in food with a long bar area with 5 handpumps. It is named after the Holly Blue, a beautiful butterfly found locally and can sometimes be sighted in Beggarwood Park which adjoins the pub between April and September. The far dining room is decorated with wall to wall pictures and curios, (riding saddles!) adding to a quirky but comfortable atmosphere.
