Farmers Boy Inn, Boxbush, Longhope

Nice pub interior and was very clean . Selection of beers, pint was good, however don't order food there a real rip off, very over rated and expensive.

Roadside pub which looks fairly decent from the outside. Enter to a long and narrow room running across the front of the building. The bar’s in the middle, with a nice old rustic feel; beams and exposed stone area to the right with jugs hanging from the ceiling. To the left is a small modern area in which a discreet TV is located. There’s a small room behind the bar down a couple of steps where the beams having been ill-advisedly painted white. A very nice grassed side garden leads off here. Two ales on the bar both from Greene King and both were utter vinegar. Both were taken off with profuse apologies but having two in that state on a Sunday afternoon is unforgivable. Then we went onto the Belhaven Stout, which was also dire, like someone had poured a Big Tom in it. Fortunately, there were three different bottles of ale from the local Hillside Brewery in the fridge – whilst they were hardly inspiring brews they were at least drinkable. In short, the fabric of the pub is pretty decent but the cellaring and bar competence is one of the worse I’ve come across over 3,500 pubs.
