| The Swan - Sherborne St. John - not bad, though it used to be a
great pub before Whitbread did it up. Nice garden for summer drinking,
reasonable selection of food though quite pricey.
Magnum's - real ale bar near Snamp. House
Jekyll & Hyde, Stratfield Turgis on A33 - I think it's changed hands
since I last went. Used to sell Badgers Beer, which is excellent
Jolly Farmer - Cliddesden
The Mole, Monk Sherborne - quite a way out but I seem to remember
it was pretty good (Morlands??)
The Three Barrels, Winklebury - town pub, sells Marstons beer
White Hart - Sherfield on Loddon - Courage
can't remember the rest... why not try some out and report back?

The White Hart,hasn't that just changed hands? and apparently caters
for "the family".

It's a pub not a motoring club! Haven't noticed the cliques yet myself, I'll
have to watch closer next time.

The Crown - Old Basing - Courage
The Bolton Arms - Old Basing _ Courage
The Old House at Home - Newnham Common - Courage
and,if you're into pool tables and pop music ,there's
The Cromwell Inn - Lychpit - Whitbread
The best lunchtime food I reckon is at the Millstone (incorrectly
called Barton's Mill earlier) but beware, there is a strong rumour
that Whibread have bought/are buying both the Millstone and Barton's
Mill restaurant with the intention of turning them into a Beefeater
junk food restaurant.

| 6.18 | Fox directions | IMNAUT::HIRD | Noone expects the spanish inquisition | Mon Oct 10 1988 18:48 | 14 |

The Fox at Ellisfield is a good one as mentioned earlier. If it
is the one I am thinking of, it is out towards Alton. Turn right
at the Golden Lion leaving Jays close, and then right at the next
roundabout, then just follow that road out of town, it takes
you through Heckfield, and it used to go right past the Fox after
a sharp right, but then they built a new piece of road that bypasses
it that you have to turn off of.
Many regards,
Steve
(ah I miss the old town - warning, all my Bstoke info is 1 1/2 yrs
old!)

Nah, go this way....
Out on to the Alton road (after hackwood roundabout) first right
to Cliddesden. 2 miles to Cliddesden, at Village Pond turn left
up hill - keep going passed fields and village school on right down
hill - up hill to Ellisfield - Just keep going and on your right
you will find the Fox.
have visited once since new landlord and there was no change to
menu or prices!

re .19
Ok ok, so I was holding my mental map upside down when I said
"Heckfield" instead of "Herriard". Also I did state a couple of
disclaimers.
SO GIVE ME A BREAK!
There is still a pub out past Herriard and before you get to Lasham
Airfield on the Alton road, the beer was good and the food was good.
Someone help me and tell me what its called ?

| Hi Steve,
I think the pub you remembered was the Fur and Feathers. Its
now down a side street since they by-passed that awfull right angle
corner.
Nice to hear from you Steve,

| re .20
I defer to Lucie's directions & this is actually the way that I
returned from the Fox on Tuesday after lunch. I went out there by the route
that I originally gave, got mildly lost & realised that it was better to go via
Cliddesdon. My excuse is that I live in Axford which is south of Ellisfield so
have only ever approached it from that direction.
To return to the subject of the Fox. The food, beer & ambience seems
unchanged despite change in landlord. The cat who used to roam among the tables
has gone but there is now an English Mastiff which is one of the largest dogs
that I have ever seen and is only 10 months old and not yet fully grown.

watering hold for a couple of years now!
Anyone care to give me an update?

Hi Norman !
I think I am finally starting to forget those part numbers and badge

Yes, I do believe it was the Fur and Feathers.

I visited the Vine Inn at Hannington last night. Recommended for:
1. Car treasure hunts on foggy nights
2. Eight types of real ale. I'm ashamed to admit that I only
tried the Marstons - the first three-and-a-half pints were OK.
3. Bar food - big, well-cooked S&K pies (read black-on-the-top for
well-cooked), but I like it that way.
4. Conversation with the barman (Manager actually) - but only if
you are a pilot. He has/had a PPL.
5. Safe passage home on foggy nights - no-one else would be mad enough
to be on these roads in last night's weather. I managed Hannington
to Andover without seeing a car. (This is a reflection on the lack
of cars, not a statement about the alcohol content of the beer :-))

Hi,
I'm looking for a pub in Basingstoke for my leaving drink-up. Having
never spent an evening here I haven't a clue what any of them are like.
I want it to be busyish and youngish though not crammed full of 17 yr
olds. It is to be on a friday night btw. I've been told that the
Wheatsheaf and The George will be packed solid. Where are the best
places to go at the moment?
Cheers
