Yew Tree, Hayling Island

Attractive roadside pub between Stoke and South Hayling with a handy bus stop right outside. The original core building has a 'L'-shaped single-story side and rear extension on some age (with an extensive beer garden beyond this). The partly opened-out interior is really traditionally furnished and decorated; just the sort of place one might take some distant American relations out for a meal to (and the staff were friendly too, once they had quizzed me about taking some photographs from the road). Three real ales on handpump: Doom Bar, Landlord and a fine HSB (if a bit pricey at £3.90).
