Exchequer, Crookham Village

The pub closed in September 2025 and its future is not known.

Food led pub, owned by small local pub company Red Mist. Three temperature controlled handpumps serve beers from the Tilford Brewery, Hogs Back and changing local ale. There is an extensive lunch and evening food menu which include Gluten Free options. Brunch is served Saturday and Sunday from 9:00. Although food led there is a comfortable separate informal seating area with a log burner. Monday night is burger night. Families are warmly welcomed, as are dogs. There are three in residence at the pub, and they are always keen to make new doggy friends. There is even a tub of dog biscuits on the bar to welcome them in! There are games on the shelf in the snug bar area, and snugly blankets to take outside to keep you warm too. It is set in a pleasant rural location with patio seating outside at the front and further seating in the rear garden. It has a large car park and is about 200 yards from the beautiful Basingstoke Canal.
