Pleasant pub with a spacious beer garden just outside Alton. We stopped for lunch recently.
The pub is a classic red-brick "roadhouse" pub, with a central server and two rooms - one laid out more as a restaurant and the other as a more classic bar. It's light and airy, and the restaurant area has had a makeover in white and pastels. As well as the beer garden, there are some outside tables at the front.
We ordered from the sandwich menu: pulled chicken, mozzarella & pesto in ciabatta (£7) and tomato, mozzarella & pesto, served in focaccia (£6.50). Both came with fries, and were perfectly ok but not outstanding. With drinks it came to £18.40.
Ordering on their computer seemed a bit agonised, but the young manager was extraordinarily welcoming and polite.
The pub lays on music and other events over the summer.
There is a car-park to the side.
