The Ragged Trousers (Free House) Visits Details 30 Aug 2025 (Hogan Sampling)
4th stop on the outing: Only stopped here to survey the beers but not partake as wished to keep up with the CAMRA branch members on their crawl to the next one on their list. Busy both inside and out but prompt service was offered at the bar. This café-style pub stretches in its long narrow layout from the main London Road to the Georgian Pantiles area of the town. Two real ales were on.

I popped in here for one when the Spa Valley Railway Beer Festival began to run dry. Nice pub.

More people outside on the pantiles than inside.
Larkins - Traditional 3.40 I think this had seen better days, have had better than this sample. Very little flavour of anything really. My score 14/20. Banks's - Ringwood Fortyniner 4.90 Not Tried Long Man - Long Blonde 3.80 Not Tried Had either gone or coming next - pumpclip turned round.
