Improve This Listing

Traditional late Victorian pub with the rooms knocked through into one in the 1980s. Refurbished again in 2018 but retaining some original features. The exposed brickwork includes some quirky wall pictures and bric-a-brac. An upstairs area has pool, table football and darts. A large courtyard at the back includes some water features, a partially covered smoking area and frequent passing trains beyond the wall. A single bar serves up to nine changing ales from national brewers. Regular live music on Sunday evenings is supplemented by a popular jukebox. Adjoins St Denys railway station.

Note that due to licensing restrictions there is no entry or re-entry after 10.30pm, though as of February 2023 the pub says that they are expecting this condition to be rescinded sometime.

Information for this venue is provided by the Southern Hampshire Branch of CAMRA
