OK, maybe not all Hampshire pubs are better than all others but the best are no doubt up there with the best nationally. This is confirmed by the fact that they feature as two of the only five short-listed pubs in the Country Life magazine sponsored Country Pub of the Year Awards run in association with Waitrose.
The Thomas Lord at West Meon is set in the picturesque Meon Valley while The Peat Spade is in Longstock, near Stockbridge, near to the Longstock Water Gardens and overlooking the River Test.
Now I’m looking for pub walks for each of these as their locations are both perfect for a Sunday stroll. I hope to add them to this blog shortly and they will be included on the website under Hampshire Pub Walks. Suggestions welcome as always!
The other three contenders are The Pigs at Edgefield in Norfolk, The Mason’s Arms, Cartwell Fell, Cumbria, and The King’s Head Inn in Laxfield, Suffolk. I have many other Suffolk Pub Walks but not one for The King’s Head yet but now working on that one too!
