REAL ALE not available

Large single roomed pub, with a predominantly local clientele. Most sporting events are shown on large screen TV and there is even one on the covered smoker's patio, so you don't miss anything. Pub games are also important here with 2 pool tables and dart board. The pub is furnished in a modern style, with a number of arty pictures. However, there are also portraits of Queen Elizabeth II and Maggie Thatcher adorning the walls. There is a larger dining room/function room to the side of the pub which is used every day but can also be hired The pub also hosts the Mytchett Tandoori Take Away whose meals can be purchased and eaten in the pub. If you dine in, the meals are served on plates rather than takeaway containers. Phone 01252 516701 to order take away food.

The pub is a keen promoter of live music nights which are held roughly twice a month. Local bands - do get in touch with the landlady to book yourselves a slot!

Historic Interest

Used to cater for the military and labouring classes and had stabling facilities for four horses The origin of the pub's name is uncertain, but it is certainly unusual in an area with no mining connections. One suggestion is that it may well have some connections with a secret tunnel which was dug from Farnborough Hill around 1840s, the home of the Empress Euginie, the widow of Napoleon III. It was recorded as an empty cottage, owned by a Mr Thomas Wooldrige in 1842 and may have had connections with the miners at that time. A more likely suggestion would be that the name was derived from the property 'Minehurst Farm', which was situate nearby in Hammesmoor Road, and was recorded owned by a William Hall. In 1873 it was owned by a Mr Potten from Farnham and a few years later by a Mr Thomas Matthews. The first recorded licencee was a Mr James Butcher previously in 1870. On New Years Day 1890 a Richard Elkins obtained a mortgage on the premises and then it was reconveyed in May 1904 by reginald White and Charles Bone. Mr F Crooke of Guildford then sold it to a Timothy William Bridge, who on 1st January 1930 sold it to Hodgson's Kingston Brewery. In April 1937 the tenancy was sold by George Pain to Allan Hann for the sum of £87 13s 9d. In 1944 the tenancy went to Mr Frederick Gibbens for a sum of £565,16s 3d which include £100 of goodwill.
