Poorly modernized elongated L shaped place with painted plank panelling in neutral shades and a general feeling of DIY SOS on a budget. Better out the back, where there’s a long, green and well-utilized rear garden overlooking the water. Three ales on and not the most exciting line-up of Sharps Doom Bar, Atlantic and Ringwood Boondoggle; however the quality was good (the Atlantic was excellent and the Boondoggle good) and they were served-up by a friendly barmaid. So a mixed bag - worth a crawl stop.

A very elongated L-shape with the bar in the front corner, boarded floor, beamed ceiling, a piano is tucked into a front recess between the wall and the entrance lobby. The long return steps up now and again and ends up with doors to a spacious and pleasant garden looking onto the river. The bar gantry has a montage of bottles, glasses and so on and there are the usual framed prints of this and that.
There are actually four handpumps but not obviously so on entering, firstly you see two, hosting Sharp's Cornish Coaster and the ever present Doom Bar but to the side of the bar there are another pair, on this occasion having Stonehenge Pigswill and I assume a rebadged Wadworth's George and the Dragon. They do food, mains around a tenner not including steaks, sandwiches for £3.95.
A pair of TVs were showing athletics muted, music from a tolerable level jukebox on my lunchtime visit.
A perfectly acceptable spot for a pint or two off the tourist trail with chatty and friendly locals.

This 16th Century single room pub, once known as the Silent Woman, feels like a cross between a village local and a drop-in bar. There is a small garden at the back overlooking the river. It offers bar food and is dominated by the huge tv screen which is mostly used to show films. There is free wifi, and the bar is heated by a gas fire in a Victorian hearth. The building now hosts a friendly family business and yet is incredibly welcoming to passers-by. There was only one ale on, Ringwood Best, which was a little superannuated, but the eccentric chatter and general bonhomie made it palatable. This thoroughly welcoming City pub has beaten the odds and stayed open, and I will use it more often while the wife (sadly not a Silent Woman) shops.

Extensively refurbished, this is a lovely city pub. Great meals and superb beer, if a tad expensive. £2.90 for a pint of London Pride. Ouch!
