The Forest Inn (aka The Bungalow Pub)

Really nice pub!

Achalet-style pub on the south side of the A35, some way east of Ashurst village. The rustic-style interior is split into two by a large brick double-sided fireplace, with a large lounge bar to the right and a raised stone floored eating area to the left that has clearly seen better days. Although on thr Cask Marque Ale Trail the front of house knew little of it. The certificate was nowhere to be found and the outgoing manager, when finally called, had heard something but didn't know or seemed to care. The only available was IPA was mediocre at best

Have given 2 stars on the assumption that it still sells acceptable beer! However, we did not stay to find out, as 4 of us had come for lunch, only to be told that they are no longer serving food! Very disappointed, as this pub used to have a decent reputation. Presumably another casualty of the cost of living and fuel crisis - such a shame!
