It was great to see Gareth Turner playing with Little Johnny England on probably their final gig.  Despite being unwell, he still has the biting wit we love.  I really enjoy the swagger of some of their songs, and all the Pete Scrowther compositions.

Its great value for money, local beers at £15 for 4 pints cant be bad.

Wadworths and Downton, plus locally made ciders  - I gather the rhubarb cider was well received.

I wouldnt have counted Wadworth as "local" to the New Forest persoally (I live in Devizes!)  - Downton is a good drop and way closer at least :-)

I used to live (and work) in Devizes... some cracking pubs round there. The New Inn at Coate - beer straight from the barrel - a pal of mine ran that for a few years.

well the new inn is still there, but Im not sure its gravity fed any longer.  And AIUI wadworth no longer have a cooper so nothing comes in wood from them any longer.

Mind you I havent been there (New Inn) since before lockdown now and I tend to avoid wadworth pubs these days - there are way better options in town for sure (as reflected by the CAMRA GBG pubs...)
