The Silver Hind — Restaurant in New Forest

My brother and I were just walking past this pub when a couple of patrons approached us and told us that "people around here don't like dark faces around here". They then proceeded to be very confrontational. I don't in any way suggest that this establishment shares the opinions of these patrons.
