Closed when I got there at opening time, the govenor opening up five minutes late,which gave me time to ponder the peeling exterior paintwork and enjoy the rain.Once inside there's one large opened out room with a slightly raised area at the rear where the pool table lives.A mix of in the main comfortable seatin stretches around the pubs perimiter.The pub does show live sport but on my visit there was a music channel on ,volume low. Three handpumps on the bar with two in operation Black sheep Best Bitter and Greene King Spring Break, I chanced my arm with the GK beer and found it ok, the landlord pulling off the best part of a pint before serving mine. Its a good honest boozer but I wouldn't go out of my way to come here, the same can be said of Basingstoke.

Something a bit different for Basingrad, looked like a pool tournament going on when I was there, with a fairly raucous (but unthreatening) atmosphere. My ale was OK (think it was Courage). Found the music a bit loud, inside a bit dark…not my bag but can see it appealing to others. Impressive edifice from the outside, tiled and imposing.
