FARNBOROUGH
Easily accessible from London
Waterloo station or by road from the M3, Farnborough has spawned
huge estates of Barrett and Wimpey homes which are fast covering
the heathlands on the Surrey/Hampshire border- not promising territory
for the beer seeker, and there are lots of awful plastic boozers
to ensnare the unsuspecting....... Beerhound to the rescue! 
The PRINCE OF WALES* (1) on
Rectory Rd close to North station (but only a half mile walk from
Farnborough Main) is the best bet if you only have time for one
stop. This free house offers a wide range of attractive beers in
good condition, usually including Fullers and Hogs Back. What's
more, it has just been nominated 'pub of the year' by Hampshire
CAMRA branches. 'nuff said!
Lunchtime food available.
The THATCHED COTTAGE (2) on the Prospect Rd is close to the ground
and although a Scottish & Newcastle house has varying guest
beers on offer and is worth a try.
A mile from the ground in Cove is the OLD COURT HOUSE*(3), 80 Cove
Rd, a suburban pub withn a strong food emphahsis but a good range
of beers. Expect London Pride, Bass, Hancocks and guests.
Finally the ALEXANDRA (4), an improving Ushers / Courage house has
occasional guest ales, and is worth a look.
