This Pub is Closed Long Term
Attractive Brewers' Tudor building, originally 16th century but burnt down and rebuilt. The pub is set well back from the main road but clearly visible across a large expanse of grass.
Closed as at August 2019, the pub having been repossessed by the owning company. Future uncertain.
Set back from the road pub built in the 1930s with a good amount of original fittings. The front bar was two small rooms until the early 1980s with a bar counter that looks 1980s, two small bar backs have remnants of 30s work, dado panelling looks old, large brick fireplace is mostly modern, oval 'Alton Pale Ale' mirror above fireplace and 'Courage & Barclay' dartboard case. A passage to the rear has signs of former off sales. At the rear the Lounge (not always open) is an intact 1930s room with parquet floor, fielded panelling to picture frame height with rose shaped wooden medallions on them at eye level, large 1930s inglenook fireplace with benches either side, the bar counter looks 1930s but has a different shade of wood to the wall panelling, bar back has some glass shelving so some post-war changes, gents not much altered. Exterior at rear has a pool room. Impressive Courage inn sign. At least a try also for the one room.
