Minutes off the A30 between Basingstoke and Winchester in the idyllic village of East Stratton, opposite the common, stands this friendly single bar 19th century rural pub. There are three handpumps in use currently (2 during the week and 3 at weekends) serving various Flower Pots ales. There is a skittle alley across the old cobbled courtyard, both used for entertainment and events. There is a small front beer garden. Events are also held on the common, which has some seating for drinkers. Light meals are available, (pizzas, burgers and salads) in a new restaurant extension which has been added to the rear. They have recently added 4 accommodation units of various sizes, see their website.
