The Horse & Groom, Alresford

An opened out pub with a low beamed ceiling, wooden floor, some exposed brick with the remainder of the walls painted in two shades of light and dark Coffee. Its a Fullers pub so just the choice their beers from the five handpumps,Pride x2, HSB,Oliver's Island and Seafarers. I didn't have any of the problems Quinno suffered, and found the pub quite comfortable yet nothing particularly special.

Multi area’d Fullers place that reminded me faintly of a souk. Island bar, with some undressed brick in the front bar and a log fire. Five pumps; Seafarers, HSB (substandard), Oliver's Island, 2x Pride, served by a rude and indolent barman. Then the coup de grâce – half an HSB and a gunned lemonade was £4.80! Disgraceful. Someone at Fullers is taking the urine. If the locals are daft enough to stump up for this rubbish, then a plague on their houses.

A mock tudor low ceiling interior with one main drinking area around the bar plus a few more smaller rooms to the rear. The usual flat screen TV showing sports is located in the main area. three ales on were Fullers London Pride, Shepherd Neame Spitfire and Ringwood Best which was well kept.

Fine pub with good food

Pretty reasonable pub - beer in good order and food nice although room for improvement.
