It was boiling hot ? ? and we got cold beer in few seconds. Friendly atmosphere and smiling barkeep. Can't ask for more.

I recently had a frustrating experience at this pub. I received an £85 parking fine for parking just 10 minutes, during which I bought a coke. I've tried calling the pub multiple times, but their phone number never answers, and there?s no way to email them a copy of the transaction.
Most places like golf clubs and hotels have clear signage or an iPad to validate parking when you enter the premises, or someone asks you to do it. And if you do get a fine but can prove you were a paying customer, they waive it. But this pub is different. I wasn?t looking for a sign outside because, honestly, it?s a pub ? you don?t expect a parking validation policy.
I want to warn others: be careful when visiting this pub and parking. You might end up with a hefty fine for a quick visit. It?s clear they don?t prioritise customer service or transparency. Instead of making themselves available for contact, they seem to prefer hiding behind the supposed legitimacy of there being clear signage in the car park, while unfairly taking your hard-earned cash.

Connor and the Florio?s team served fantastic pizza with a smile to 100 18 year olds. It was fantastic.
We definitely look forward to asking Connor to come back.
PS we love to sneak into Liss on Friday night to get Pizza for the family, because they are so good.

Me and my partner visited The Whistlestop last night- the first time since its been taken over by the new owners. We were greeted when we entered and made to feel very welcome. The barstaff were friendly and nothing was too much, I ordered Pimms and they had ran out of mint so they went and bought some especially for my drink (something they didn't have to do as I could have gone without). The landlady was very welcoming and chatted with us asking our opinions of what we wanted at the pub due to living in the village, she took our ideas and suggestions on board, from chatting with her she has lots of experience of running a pub and we can't wait for the future of the pub. No one likes change but I think the changes she is going to make will keep the regulars happy but also bring in new faces.
We didn't use the carpark as we walked to the pub but I clearly saw the sign for having to register your car registration to avoid the fine at the bar. The pub has a lovely garden which we spent most of the evening in whilst listening to the music from the juke box. There was also an option to play darts and pool which appeared popular. Everyone was very friendly and chatty- just what you would expect from a village pub. Looking forward to the live music and the cocktail making evenings soon. Keep up the good work, see you again soon.

Rough pub, rough landlady and a scammy car park that charges £85 if you don?t register at the bar. No obvious signs in the pub

These guys are scammers, not open 5pm - I got a parking ticket for going in the car park and not signing into their app, which I couldn't of course.Their response was aggressive and shocking - just awful. I have never been so summarily spoken down to before by any business wanting decent custom.DO NOT STOP here - they are not nice people.

Lovely old pub. Friendly staff. Really small though in the main bar.

A proper pub. Brilliant for watching the football. Always a warm welcome. One of the last pubs in the area that's not a posh 'gastro pub'. Great atmosphere...

This is a bad pub. Do not waste your time. Or money.They also run a parking scam.Shameful people.Parking: Parking scam. Forget to register and your half pint will cost you £85. Signs not clear or large. The worst of this country. Avoid.

Wow what a place! Great atmosphere and loads of fun. Because I'm from Southampton they gave me an extra special warm welcome. Looking forward to the next time I can be there!
