White Hart, Basingstoke

Bit of a strange one this, opposite the police station and council offices it looks like a good old fashioned boozer in a good solid interesting old building, decor traditional but a bit frayed. A couple of negative points, first the decent beer was sold out on my last visit, I've had reasonable Hobgoblin in here before, and then the overbearing carvery. Of course it's very much better than many pubs in Basingstoke but ..... Best summed up as - lots of potential but a shame about the lack of effort.
