plus - where are the nice pubs?

i'm guessing its not the two in the middle - which aren't great........although 'The Links' seems nice down the way......

Just moved down here myself, really nice place (IMHO)

The Anchor is, well, it's a Hungry Horse, NUFF SAID?

Green Dragon isn't bad, and is being refurbished.

Railway Hotel yikes

Links is good, but a bit pricey

Black Fox (carry on past the links for a mile or so} Really nice, beer's cheap V. good food (I'm staying here for a few weeks till I find house to rent!)

Might see you around!

There are far nicer areas in the vicinity than liphook. Petersfield I prefer as a small town.

We had a PH meet at The Links once.

hey thanks guys

I'm moving in on Saturday - walkable to the Green Dragon (5 mins) to give you an idea.

I've heard the bar at the golf course is really nice?

Its only a rental (as i can't sell my house) - so it'll do for 6-12 months whilst i'm working in London.

give me a shout if you are having any more meets in area.

I've lived in Farnham, Godalming, Guildford, Mychett etc - so i know area reasonably well - just not Liphook itself

PS - Poledriver - are you actually staying in that pub?

I was scouting around and saw it, but didn't pop in.....on the right a mile or so past The Links?

nope - dinner a bit rich to be honest - i'd rather spend the money on another test day smile plus no silverware this year smile

I'm moving on Saturday - i'll bring the bike down for a beer one night
