Bits in my pint so asked to change it to a bottle they tried to charge me again. Then said they can't refund the £1 difference even though I paid cash originally.

Bring Your Own Real Ale, I have been drinking there for the last 12+ years and I now buy my beer at the garage next door as the new “owner “ doesn’t get any in. It’s like a Library without Books His loss 🍺

Came here for a pub stop as a group of Leeds fans on the way down to Southampton - very friendly and welcoming staff, nice beer garden- Though one by one the lagers kept dropping off tap.. Madri was off as soon as we arrived and then they ran out of Stella too. But overall was a nice welcoming place.

The Bishops Blaize provided a great atmosphere during the Beggars fair in July 2022. There was a massive stage for live music, an outside bar, entertainment for kids including faceprinting and bubbles. It was impressive since the new managers had only taken over a few days before.

Hmm 🤔, great background music. Sadly only larger, cider, and corporate Doombar in bottles to drink! Surely a trip to Asda to get a selection of bottled ales and craft beers at 4 for £6 and sell for £5, no brainer, and keeps for years. Garden also needs some attention and a good clean up.

Wandered in here to look for a place to watch the recent Arsenal match (came from out of town). Literally laughed at for wearing a mask by almost everyone in the pub. Everyone literally doing what should not be done during Covid and marching up to the bar, no social distancing etc. We eventually left because the clientele all started singing ‘oh the weather outside is frightful’ because we were wearing big coats and hats (it’s November). I don’t think anybody in this place has even seen anyone from outside Romsey before and there’s a certain phrase I’d like to describe them as (those who sleep with their sheep) which I will not mention on this website. We didn’t even experience what the service/drinks were like but we’d just like to warn everyone to avoid this place like the plague if visiting Romsey.

Lovely pub just outside of the town centre with a parking area at the rear. There is a lovely outside seating area and the staff are friendly. The pub is not just for locals and welcomes people from outside of Romsey. They have entertainment such as music acts and karaoke so worth checking the blackboard outside or on their Facebook page.

A little gem of a place. The new managers are friendly as are the locals. Has a lot of live music, which can be a blessing or a curse depending on what you're after. Decent sized garden, parking for people who'd rather a coke than an ale. Oh yeah, it's an ale pub rather than a lager pub.

Popped in on a couple of evenings as we were at the nearby theatre. Was alright but got the distinct impression this is a 'local pub for local people' and you did not want to be behind any of them in the queue as you were always going to be served last. Beer was fine and there is a reasonable garden - it is what it is.

Since the new owners have taken over there is a deffinate lack of atmosphere. Now I love dogs but I don’t want to go to a pub and see it walking along the bar. I wouldn’t let my children do that so why would they let a dog? And they’re talking about bringing in basket food. There is no way I’d eat in a place like that. As for the drinks I hear there is a good selection of beers I don’t drink beer but the drinks we had were warm, half empty and in dirty glasses. Such a shame as I used to be proud to call this my local.

If you want to go to a rough pub where the land lady and her partner starts a complete brawl this is the place for you. Since the previous owners left this place has seriously gone downhill. They serve very intoxicated customers. I witnessed them punching and pulling girls hair, a couple of guys had their teeth broke and was rushed to hospital. There was blood everywhere and they locked all of the doors so nobody could get out, not even a fire exit. It was like something from a nightmare

Came here Saturday evening with some friends. Had a mvery enjoyable evening until the landlady decided to have a lock in. After serving very intoxicated customers all evening (including the landladys partner who was in no way fit for more drink) a brawl kicked off. There were punches swinging from everywhere. The landladys family or friends were running up to local people from behind, punching them and even pulling girls hair and punching them. I was very frightened I couldn’t even get out as they had locked us in which I feel must be a health and safety issue considering how small it is there? I used to enjoy coming here when Wayne and Paula were running it. The new people have only been there a couple of months and already they are causing trouble god knows what it’s going to be like in a years time

I wouldn’t even give this pub 1 star but unfortunately I have to! Massively gone downhill since previous owners left, they start mass brawls and fight and punch their customers and try and sweep everything under the carpet taking no responsibility themselves. The manager down there attacks his customers if you like to have a fight this is the pub to visit as the staff and owners love to start! Such a shame as was such a nice pub before u fortunately new owners have no experience running a pub and are horrid people!

I seldom go in here as it has a feel of a pub for local people feel, not that it is a bad thing but I sense you need to have been regular attendees at the bar before it feels like "your" local. Always good and busy, often with live bands or football. The beer is good and the wine selection broad enough for me. The pub always throws itself into local events with gusto, the regulars and staff like to have fun.

A group of four of us visited this venue to see the band Misdirected, who were very good, during our short stay at this pub. We ordered drinks, the girl behind the bar was very polite and apologetic about the fact that they didn't accept cards, which was no problem. We sat at the only empty table in a very full pub. The lights above the table were extremely bright, which is probably why nobody had sat there. One of our group loosened off a couple of the bulbs which made it much better. He was quickly accused by a customer of stealing light bulbs, which he hadn't done and politely explained that he hadn't! Not long after that a very rude male member of staff came over and started having a go about the light bulbs! It was totally unnecessary and we would have stayed for the whole evening if it wasn't for this ridiculous issue! We all left our unfinished drinks and went to a pub where the staff are welcoming and polite. The male member of staff needs to value new customers as we would have spent a fair bit of money there all evening plus enjoyed the band if it hadn't been for his attitude.

I've had some bad pub experiences in my life but this was one of the worst. The pub looks inviting from the outside, but inside the atmospheres a different matter. My wife was sworn at when she asked for a cloth to wipe our table (not even our mess!!!), and the landlord (?) didn't have the decency to lower his voice when discussing her with another customer at the bar. Charming. And the beer was crap too..... cant believe its in the good beer guide as advertised

With beautiful flower baskets adorning the outside and loads of parking at the rear, with an outside large patio area, parts covered in case of rain, and HEATERS ! This is a small and very friendly pub - the Landlords Wayne & Paula are very welcoming and you can often find them behind the bar. There are live bands on the weekends, and they put on events that are interesting and different. They hold an annual fundraising cycle and the food, in the form of a barbecue, is amazing - fresh food with variety. As far as I know, they don't offer in-house food on a regular basis. I used to drink red wine, and I can say that their house red wine is very good. Service is excellent. Public areas are clean. Staff are friendly. Good vibe.

Went here for a drink and to see a friend's live band 'Vinyl Beat' playing on a Saturday evening.The band were great and had everyone singing along, even those that just popped in for a quick drink before going on to a restaurant.The only down side was the sour faced lady behind the bar. She sat there all night looking like hell was about to freeze over...and I've since found out she was the landlady! Not the welcoming face you'd expect in a pub in these difficult economic times...if it wasn't for the band I would have gone somewhere more friendly. The young lad behind the bar was pleasant and worked hard...take note landlady, or you'll soon be joining the hundreds of pubs going to the wall each year!

This place has gone downhill massively. I'm not sure I would feed my dog what they're now serving. It has gone from lovely local produce, roast dinners, and good food....to some of the worst generic cafe food I've eaten, still at the same premium prices.

Food was OK but not special for the price, service was average but them they added a service charge. I should decide to leave a tip and i should not be told how much to leave. I asked them to remove it and left without leaving one. I usually always leave a good tip but to just add it is just rude. Sorry but i wont be returning....
