Interesting and popular old pub, one of only two in Christchurch with a GBG entry. Beers from the Piddle brewery, Piddle, Jimmy Riddle and Silent Slasher plus Crop Hop, which I'm not familiar with and something from Idle (South Yorkshire) which ran out just as we were about to order it. The Piddle and Silent Slasher were in top condition and dangerously drinkable, I didn't have a Jimmy Riddle (sorry, but the brewery started it). As well as a keg range there is also New Forest Black Cider. Half timberish two room interior, there is a front room accessed off the street, and a back bar with the entrance via the courtyard. Conventional décor if a little bit chintzy in places although the chamber pots compliment the Piddle beers I suppose. The back bar has some “thrones” by the bar counter and a more dining oriented area to the rear. The courtyard is very well patronised and apparently there is a skittle alley somewhere off the courtyard. Staff were a bit over occupied by food orders as there were not quite enough for the customer level, speaking of the punters, they seemed a fairly normal bunch of people of various ages.
