Mrs A was looking hopeful when she saw a couple of pumps serving Old Dairy Brewery beers. Unfortunately no Blue Top, only Red Top and Silver Top. So we both went for a hurried couple of halves of the Red Top as we were rushing to get to the Train Station. I thought the staff in here were upbeat and friendly. The booths at the rear of the pub were the main attraction in here.

This is a surprisingly large Spoons that is narrow and very long. The bar is on the left soon after you enter and some way after that is a lighter back area with alcoves on the left and a patio through some glass doors on the right. It was quite busy on my Friday morning visit at around 11:30.
Although there are two banks of six hand pumps the beer choice here was not that good. The first six had the JDW Trio Of Doom, 2 available soon and Ringwood 49er. The second had one available soon, Abbot, Doom Bore, Hook Norton Old Hooky, Ringwood 49er and Otter Amber. I went for the Old Hooky (£2.09) and the 49er (£2.09) later after having just missed a train. Both were in very good nick and cheap for the South. However, some of the food prices here are more expensive than average notably the mid-week Clubs and the mixed grill which is two quid dearer here than the typical price. I can only conclude that food here is a lot more popular than the real ales.
It's an average sort of JDW that I thought was OK but doubt that I would return.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Belle & Lion (JD Wetherspoon)
Unusually small frontage for a new 'spoons outlet, but not only is the rectangular bar area of a reasonable size but there is also an elongated single-storey extension beyond (with booths along one wall) which more than doubles the floor area. Side patio beer garden featuring three unusual bench seats formed from upturned rowing-boat prows. Reasonable selection from eight of 12 handpumps in operation, including the seasonal Yuletide from Adnams at a bargain £1.99.
