Large mid 20th-century estate pub named after Bert Hinkler, an early Australian aviation pioneer who was the first person to fly England to Australia solo in 1928. He built a house nearby and in 1983 this was moved and rebuilt brick by brick in his Australian home town of Bundaberg. The pub itself has a large public bar with two pool tables, at least one of which can be moved to make way for live bands. The lounge bar doubles as a function room. At the back is a large patio area. Judging by the pictures on the walls and the emblems on the windows there is a strong sports following, particularly for Southampton FC.
