The Wheatsheaf, Romsey

Lots of character in this one - herringbone flooring, low beams, tongue and groove varnished wood panelling, undressed brick walls with some low lighting adding to effect. Enter to front of the building to the main bar with a side room (hosting a proper fire) via wood panelled divider. A dining room off to the right. At the far end of the bar is – perhaps incongruously – a pool table and TV (switched off). Apparently there’s an impressive rear garden but it was too late to go exploring. Four pumps which were all dispensing - Doom Bar, Flacks Double and 2x St Austell beers, Tribute and a very good drop of Proper Job. Plenty busy for a grotty Sunday evening in January, so clearly doing a lot right. Was quite taken with this one and would recommend a detour to sample.
