Formally the Feathers, this building is the oldest surviving pub in Basingstoke. It is rumoured that it has medieval foundations and is connected to the legendary tunnel system that appears in various structures in the town. The name is now an anagram of a famous football club of which a previous publican was an ardent supporter.

Now known for being Basingstoke town’s premier ‘sports pub’, it can be a very busy venue during sports events and there are many TV screens. There is an extensive and reasonably priced menu – a speciality being the ‘big breakfast’ in the morning.

Information for this venue is provided by the North Hampshire Branch of CAMRA
