Interesting that its in the Strangest Pubs in Britain book. I have that, but didn't realise on my visit, otherwise I would have checked out the well! This is a rare pub on the South Downs Way - which I was so looking forward to. After 12 miles, I was really looking forward to a pint. Three real ales on - and I went for a "Ale of Wight". It seemed to explode out of the pump and the landlord did a strange trick with three glasses to get a pint. He said "Don't worry, it will be fine". I did and it wasnt. Tasted ok but cloudy and full of floaty bits. Chucked the last third on the grass outside. Tried a Kronenbourg. Surely nothing could go wrong with Keg Beer? You've guessed it - cloudy and full of floaty bits. Don't think I have ever been as disappointed and a weary 8 miles to go to Winchester.
