They serve a lovely carvery with a choice of three meats, usually pork, beef, turkey, gammon and occasionally lamb. There is a choice of vegetables which you help yourself to and you can have as much as you want, the roast potatoes are very tasty and well cooked. The waiting staff are very friendly and quick to serve I have never booked, I have just turned up even on a Sunday and got a table but I get there at midday and while I am there it does get busy. There is also a menu to order from if you dont fancy the carvery.

The place is particularly energetic after an Aldershot town match (with slightly more energy on the occassions when they actually win!!) The place has been refurbished and looks great inside. It is a relatively small and quite a narrow place, but is is quite deceptive and does provide enough seating where required. There is an adequate selection of beer on tap at a competitive price. Just a shame they sold the large beer garden!

It is located beside the Basingstoke Canal, with a good sized beer garden, in a nicely renovated older building. The menu is varied, the food comes in good portions, and the selection of real ales is normally excellent. Really the only thing that stops it getting a full "5" rating is the service can be tardy at lunchtimes, which is problematic if one is seeking a pleasant workday lunch in that otherwise culinary desert of the Aldershot-Farborough area.

Completely brown, all juice had left it and it was bit like eating hard brown sawdust. When I enquired whether it was standard practice to overcook the beef to this extent (as it is in Canada, where that is required by law) I was told it was corporate policy. I ate half and gave up as it was a pretty terrible experience. I will not grace their premises again. Perhaps other food is better but I suspect most of their proteins will similarly be ruined by their corporate policy. Waste of an hour of my life to drive over here.

Decor is very cute, with a ski theme (although doesn't match the swan name but who cares). The staff were super friendly and helpful, including when I noticed they forgot our dressing and brought it out immediately. I would say the food was not my favorite. The options were mostly fried pub food so I guess that's to be expected.

I count myself very lucky that I don't live anywhere near this brewery, otherwise my friends and…read morefamily would probably never see me again. Housed in some very old farm buildings, this working brewery produces some jolly fine ales such as T.E.A. (Traditional English Ale) and Fresh Spring. There are 11 different varieties produced here. They regularly do tours of their operations which take less than two hours. With all the samples you'll likely have, best arrange transport home! The brewery shop upstairs is literally packed to the oaken rafters with hundreds of bottled beers, not only from Hogs Back but also a large range of other breweries from far and wide. I might have done a short 'happy dance' when I first saw it all. You can also buy a range of other Hogs Back products such as beer gift sets and memorabilia such as glassware and clothing. Tip: the brewery tour days/times can be flexible to suit individual group requirements. It costs £12.50 per person. Tip: there is free home delivery for all online orders over £40.

In terms of cost, for five people with beer and a bottle of Rose, it came to £160. Starters were seriously nice - all of them. Main course was okay, bit unfortunately nothing to write home about. They have a large selection of Deserts as well to entice you if you still have room to spare! Service was very good and personal. Ideal place to go if you're taking your parents out for a treat!!

We went on a Tuesday night. Good pub ambience. Food: good. Had the curry and fish pie. What was somewhat disappointing: no bangers and mash or fish and chips. Must have been a busy prior weekend. Overall good. Stop in.
