A narrow-fronted high street pub which runs the full length of the terrace in which it sits. There is a paved area at the back adjacent to a car parking and access area. The single extended bar has indeed been renovated and this appears to be continuing. The front area is wooden floored and spacious. It has TV and projector screens and a sound-and-light system which suggests it could be used for discos, although it is currently furnished with small dining tables. The bar counter is in the centre, while the rear is a games area and smells of paint. Both these 2 areas are flag-floored. The locals were mostly harmless, if a little loud, while the staff were functional if not welcoming. The only ale on was Ringwood Best which was drinkable but not in optimal condition. OK to drop in for a quick pint but I'm not sure I'd stay aboard for a whole evening.
