The Oddfellows Arms is on the opposite side of the road to the Rose and Crown.
Once inside there is a square shaped room with the bar on the left side,the room is carpeted and has normal tables and chairs and one leather settee for seating,the TVs were showing the Bournemouth v Spurs game,there is a small separate area to the front left which has a pool table and darts board.
There were no real ales on or even keg bitters,so i had a drink of Amstel which was cold and bland.
The pub is not really to my taste and the Rose and Crown across the road is a lot better.

The main claim to fame for the Oddfellows is that is was an early drinking establishment for Mick Jagger who attended the Grammar School virtually opposite (and I am not implying that he drank here while still at school!). Quite frankly there is no reason to wander from the town centre to visit this pub other than being convenient for the nearby Mick Jagger Centre arts complex. It was totally refurbished about 18 months ago and what was once a decent straightforward local's pub has now had the heart ripped out and been turned into a horrific tribute to the worst excesses of modern pub design with cube chairs and trendy lighting. The whole thing is a shocking contrast to what it was and the old regulars must have been shell-shocked when it reopened. I was. The only consolation is that you only have to walk 10 yards across the road to the Rose and Crown for something a bit more traditional. Mick probably would.
