    Quick glance: + fresh, local ingredients…read more+ big portion of tasty food + friendly, caring staff + local ales from Hog's Back Brewery down the road - disappointing dessert - booking recommended We visited the Duke of Cambridge prior to watching a show at the West End Centre in Aldershot on a Saturday evening. We arrived about 6 in the evening and although the venue was only half filled, all the tables were already reserved. Luckily for us (and the restaurant too!) we needed to get out by 7pm and it so happened that there was a table free until then. It was good of the head waiter to check if we were happy to vacate by 7, as it meant we got to eat there (and they turned over an extra table.) Because of the short time we had, the food came quickly. It was good to see there was good communication between the front of staff and the kitchen to make this possible. The food was simply a delight. For starter I had the beet-root infused smoked salmon salad. It was an unusual way to smoke the salmon but the flavours were beautiful. For mains, I had their special of the day - whole plaice. While presentation was nothing special, the fish was cooked to perfection with the meat just cooked, full of flavours and juices. That alone stole my heart for the evening. The food was on the heavy side, with lots of cream in the leeks, for example, which could put some people off, but it is great for those looking for a bit of extravagance. The portion size is also generous. The letdown came after the wonderful starter and main course, as my dessert was plain and lacking in flavours. The New York cheesecake was too sweet and lacked the 'cheesy' flavour. Shame, but it shouldn't hold you back from visiting this wonderful pub served by really friendly staff, and eat your heart out along with local ales from Hog's Back Brewery down the road, or a selection of wines.

    Not a review of the second in line to the British throne but a smartly updated country pub set in…read morethe woods in Farnham. It's particularly popular with families, judging by the number of mid-size luxury SUVs in the car park - the pub certainly appears to be in the executive commuter belt. Finding an available parking space was therefore quite tricky; if there aren't any just park on the nearby approach road to Hankley Common Golf Club. They've a small bar inside which leads into a larger rustic dining room that's been tastefully refurbished. There are four real ales available, with one being locally brewed. Andwell's Red Mist was a pretty decent pint. Outside, there's a sizeable covered dining area, patio and garden, with a children's play area by the car park a decent distance away so the noise and disruption is limited. The seasonal menu is full of British classics, with the mains including beer-battered cod, chargrilled rib-eye steak and pan-roasted Gressingham duck breast. Portions were generous (see the photo of the amount of peas that came with my cod!) and everything was tasty. Summing this place up I'd say its look was in keeping with the above-average affluence of the area, but at its heart was still an old, warm and welcoming rural pub.

    Wychwood Brewery was kind of a rare opportunity for me to try beer from abroad. I am very grateful…read morethat the opportunity has arose and I got to try a beer from the UK. Steve and I experienced their Hobgoblin Ruby Ale. There are a couple different versions of this Ruby Ale but we had the one that came in at 4.5 ABV. It is an English style Brown Ale with noticeable flavor highlights of toffee, maltiness, sweetness and dryness all very well balanced with none of those flavor highlights being too heavy handed. I like brown ales in general but virtually all of the ones I have had are made in the United States. What I noticed with this UK one was the dryness and how the sweetness was more in the background on your taste buds rather than dominant. Not too sure how it was done but it was a refreshing change of pace.

    Surprisingly challenging to find in this little town, once dominated by the brewery, down a…read morebackstreet in a seemingly residential area. Upon arrival we were ushered downstairs, and given a half-pint of their monthly special - ours was the 'full Brazilian' which was...well...not the best, but good to try. We were then taken around the brewery by our very knowledgeable tour guide / ale aficionado. This involved tasting the raw hops, and different kinds of malts used, and looking at lots of vats and pipes and other brewing stuff. It is actually surprisingly small for how common their beers are, some of the equipment was over a century old which seemed impressive. After the tour came the bit that everyone was looking forward to, the tasting! Beers served at the recommended temperature, which despite the detailed lecture from our doctor of ale tour guide about ale temperature, was still a little warm for me. 11 beers, served one or two at a time to compare and contrast. Before you get excited they were served in tasting cups, about the size of a double-shot but still...11 in half an hour was pushing it for some. Finally, nice and loosened up, into the gift shop for some hobgoblin related purchases. Of course, you can buy the beer here and of course, it is a fraction of the price it is in London...of course, make sure you plan how much you can carry *before* purchasing. A couple of things to remember: * Book at least two weeks in advance for the tour, places are limited - more limited than I had expected. * Don't wear flip-flops...they will force you to wear 'daps' because of all the crazy cleaning irritants on the floor.
