The Snakecatcher is named after the legendary Harry 'Brusher' Mills, who lived just north of Hollands Wood campsite (¾ mile north), and claimed to have a cure for rheumatism. The pub has separate pub games, bar and restaurant areas, and outdoor seating to the side and rear. The varied menu is served throughout the day, and specializes in 'hot rocks', on which you cook your own steak to your liking at the table. Ringwood Best is badged as Snakecatcher. Free Wi-Fi upon request. Southbound bus stop is in Brookley Road (heading NW!), northbound at the Railway Station.

December 2021: No guest ales, just the two regulars, though this may increase as trade returns particularly in summer season.
