Very much a locals’ pub, we were initially treated with suspicion and a rather frosty welcome from the landlord, though things did settle down once e’d been there for a while. It’s off the beaten track and there is very limited parking. It’s a Victorian house with little by way of outside areas, and the 3 ground floor rooms have been knocked into a single bar shaped irregularly, with a snug area in one corner by an original fireplace with a modern woodburner. There’s room for vertical drinking as well as several tables. There is a dartboard and a selection of board games. There was a range of age groups present, and there was a meat raffle ongoing, giving it a proper pub feel. Ales on were Potts Bitter and Butcombe Original. Also available were Aspalls Cider, Moretti, Madri, and San Miguel. There were also free nibbles on the bar. A decent enough local but it doesn’t justify the hassle of visiting if you’re not already in the area.

Great to have this classic back. Seems like the Landlord may only be temporary but he's making a go of it with his good wife serving up some traditional pub grub in defined areas. All of the old locals are back and Ringwood, Doombar and Butcombe brewery on hand pump. At last they have clear opening hours on the chalk board. Lets hope that the pub chain keeps up the renewed service. Again, the village local.

This place has just gone to being damn weird with its opening hours. As far as I can make out from the 'locals' who now drink in the 'Linden' it only opens on Tuesday, Friday and Sunday!! Now call me picky, but if I go to a boozer the first thing I want is for it to be open and I shouldn't have to check that it will be serving if the cricket team are playing (true). This is a great pub, but just how it's making money on these limited opening times amazes me.
