HAMPSHIRE - Steep, Harrow National Inventory of Historic Pub Interiors Part One Harrow Lane, Steep, Petersfield, GU32 2DA (To get to the pub take Midhurst exit from Petersfield by-pass, at roundabout first left towards Midhurst, then first on left opposite a garage, left again at Steep church, and then over the dual carriageway to the pub.) Tel: 01730 262685 Listed Status: Grade II A great unspoilt but hard-to-find pub just east of Bedales School and part of a tile-hung terrace. Two splendid, little-altered rustic bars though with venerable old fittings. The two bars (public left, smoking room right) are only about 12 ft x 12 ft. The public bar has a brick and quarry-tiled floor and basic bench seating. The smoking room has a carpet and lino and a collection of stuffed animals, an old Polyphon and a picture of the royal family dated 1880. Service is through hatches from the area behind where the casks are stillaged. Major emphasis on local beers. Home-cooked food with the hearty Harrow soup a speciality. The pub has been in the same family since around 1926. They bought it from Whitbread in 1991. One of those rare pubs to still have an outside (and partly open-air) gents. |
