we’Re glad you found Us!
Situated on the main London Road in the delightful market town of Alton, our traditional English pub has something for everyone. Half way between Winchester and Farnham, on the Surrey/Hampshire border, we are proud to be part of the local history this area offers. Jane Austen and Gilbert Whites houses are in surrounding villages and poor Sweet Fanny Adam’s’ grave in the local churchyard, in fact rumour has it that Dick Turpin himself hid in our cellar!
Alton boasts great train links with London and also has its own steam train with The Watercress Line between Alton -Ropley-Alresford.
Open seven days a week, serving fine ales, a selection of lagers, wines and spirits with homemade food cooked by our husband and wife team.

A sneak peek at what we offer
→Our drinks
We are pleased to regularly feature in the Good Beer Guide. Darren is a stickler for keeping his beers fresh, crisp and clean; changing the ales throughout the seasons. We have a selection of wines available by the glass or bottle with gins during the summer and malt whisky in the winter months.
→Our Food
With so many homemade options on the menu, you may find it hard to choose! Our pies are legendary but do bring a hearty appetite! The phrase traditional homemade pub food was made for us. We don’t coin posh terms, custard is custard not crème anglaise but you won’t be disappointed.
→ Our garden
With possibly the biggest and best beer garden in Hampshire, during the summer months please ensure you reserve your table to avoid disappointment.
