Another Brakspear country pub, this was once owned by T'Pau lead singer Carol Decker. Leaning towards the money, there's the obligatory gravelled car park and plenty were dining on a Sunday lunchtime, with separate dining areas located either side of the bar, which is faced to the centre-right as you enter (signs on the door also indicate 'Recommended for the Michelin Guide'). Low beams are a mixture of the old and new and there's a mix of flagstone and wooden floor. The area opposite the bar has a mixture of seating, but pleasingly it's obviously set aside for wet custom and ale-wise, it's slightly more adventurous than some local competitors even if the three-ale line-up comprised Brakspear Bitter, Ringwood Razorback and Brakspear Varsity Pale Ale (the latter of which was £2.05 for a half) has a ring of 'usual suspects' to it. There's a generous beer garden out front adjacent to the car park, which plenty were taking advantage of on a clement mid-September Sunday.

Low-beamed pub interior upon entrance with part-flagstoned, part-wooden floor. Eating areas through open doorways either side of the bar area. Two ales on: Brakspear Bitter and Oxford Gold, £3.50 and £3.60 respectively. Crisps (Salty Dog) £1.30. Piped beats and breaks seguing into jazz over the speakers.
