Thunkingly upmarket (or thinks it is). Enter to a hallway with a room off right and the main bar to left. Décor - dark blue, wood floor, rug, objects d’art and a Christmas tree up at the beginning of November (arghh). Three pumps with two ales on, Ringwood Razorback and something called English Lore by Gritchie brewery (which was warm, probably the first out all day NBSS 1.5). Only one other punter in, so a lunar-like atmosphere. Very expensive, as anticipated – I should have made a fuss about the ale but decided to get gone and find better. If someone put a bit effort in at the bar, this would be a decent venue. 4.5

A former coaching station, somewhat grander than the normal coaching inns, built during the Georgian period and still in service as an hotel. The house is adjacent to the road, while the former mews behind now serves as a function room. There is plenty of parking at the back, and there is also a well-kept lawn with table and seats for when the weather allows al fresco eating and drinking. The bar is a former drawing room, has high ceiling and fireplace and has a wooden floor. The decor throughout is in keeping with the building's grandeur - except in the gents' where there is an odd collection of cartoon strips on the walls. Food is restaurant style and can be taken in the dining room or bar, though the latter only has a few tables. All-day Sunday lunch is a speciality. The bar staff were largely ineffective - it took three of them 15 minutes to deliver a pint from a hand pump. There were 2 ales on draft, Plain Ales's Innspiration and Sheep Dip. Not the best kept beer, but drinkable none-the-less. A pleasant enough place to dine and a good place to stay but I'm not sure I'd include in a crawl.
