We went donutting at the Aldershot Alpine Centre and typically when we were finished the kiddos were hungry. So we googled a local place to eat as we live quite far. This place came up and seemed perfect with a beer garden and play area for the kids. It's a 10 min drive from the Alpine Centre and upon arrival it looked ok and once entering it looked a little tired but like it could do the job. We were given a warm welcome by the bar girl who handled 4 adults and 7 kids very well! I didn't know what to expect food wise but was hopeful when I asked the bar girl if they made their burgers on site. She said they didn't but the meat is from a local award winning butcher's who make the burgers onsite at their premises. I was sold! We gave a big order and it was handled so well.

The mains gammon for me and pie for my husband were beautifully cooked and the pudding was lovely. I didn't share 😂 We spoke to the landlord who said they had only taken over a year ago and were trying to change the pubs reputation. Yes it was very quite but the welcome and food made it...
Read moreWell.. where do we start, Don't do food, ok... Beer being off.. ok it happens....Charge you to park for 15 mins at a cost of £100?!,..Not OK! especially no support or duty of care to the consumer from the landlord..! We went for a quick drink with a work colleague, and this was the most disappointing experience we ever had, for the journey for the customer, this was well below par. Place is in need of new management and a competent manager/landlord. As current landlord lack training in many aspects of the "Journey for the Customer experience" to name a few. If you looking for a pop in drink and after a hard week of grafting work, you better go somewhere better like...
