You are always assured a warm welcome at this family and dog friendly pub. Open plan, with three separate seating areas, the pub is situated alongside a picturesque section of the Basingstoke Canal. It is very popular with walkers. On fine days you can sit outside observing the wildlife and watching the barges and canoes going past. There is a children's play area outside too.

There are three regular, well kept real ales and often a rotating seasonal guest. The pub has built up a good reputation for its home made freshly cooked food, featuring an imaginative menu and several specials. Booking is strongly recommended and do take note of the food hours!

There is adartboard, in a lovely wood panelled room, and a resident darts team. A charity music festival is held on August bank holiday weekend. There are lots of photos of the pub from yesteryear displayed on the walls. One of particular interest shows the pub with its "Farnham United Breweries" signage from 1915.
