A cold Saturday lunchtime in December. Beaters from the local shoot in the public bar:tables full of diners and their dogs in the other. Real ale served by gravity from a stillage at the back of the bar.Bottles of Mackeson's stout to be had.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Palmers - Copper Ale3.70ExcellentA good malty copper coloured session bitter with a floral hoppy finish. I thought this had run out, but the landlord had taken the cask end sign down as he wanted to reserve it for his regulars In any event, I had a couple.
Banks's - Mild3.50GoodA dark brown mild. A bit thin after the Palmers.
Bowman - Nutz5.00GoodSilly name,but an interesting dark ale,allegedly brewed to a Corsican recipe, using chestnuts, which were noticeable , putting me in mind of Christmas Dinner.
Brakspear (at Marston's Wychwood) - Bitter3.40Not Tried

The pub is found in Tichborne, Hampshire, SO24 0NA.

Thatched pub in a pretty village. Two bars, a garden and dog friendly. Re-opened in early September 2022 following a refurbishment that includes a new rear extension to enable additional dining and connecting the previously outdoor loos to the pub. The pub had shut in 2021 following the death of the previous landlord.

We have visited this pub 3 times, seen 8 different beers and tried 5 of them.
