After a four-mile walk, the first thing you want to find is a warm welcome, rather than wrangling over whether we had booked or not. However, the service got friendlier from then on, the food arrived promptly and the beer was refreshing and served up in bespoke glasses. Most of us had a lovely pint of Boondoggle, from the Ringwood Brewery but Hobgoblin, from Wychwood and Marston's Pedigree were also available. We sat outside in lovely autumnal sunshine but inside there were a couple of comfortably furnished rooms. All in all, a good pub.
