Previously a private home this thatched pub in Cove, the western suburbs of Farnborough has served its local community for over 50 years.

The pub had a sympathetic refurbishment and a new thatched roof in 2021, when the current licensees took out a a 20-year free of tie lease after Greene King chose not to renew.

There are two distinct bar areas and a large outside garden. Four cask ales are generally available, with regular beers from Vale and Hogs Back. Dining is not specifically designated for a particular area of the pub and can be eaten where you want. ThatchFest, which includes a beer festival is held in August.

Historic Interest

Two storey, restored timber framed 18th Century structure with white plaster infilling and a thatched roof with later extensions
