The News visits The Ship Inn for a pint at the newly crowned best pub in Hampshire

Crafting the perfect description…

00:00Hampshire's known for some fantastic pubs from city boozers, family pubs and country pubs with

00:06great dining experiences. Now last week shipping in Langston was named as the county's best pub

00:13at the national pub and bar awards. So I thought I'd come down on one of the hottest days of the

00:18year to have a refresh, travel their pints and see why it is one of the best in the county.

00:30Being on work duty I ordered a pint of the Lucky Saint, an alcohol free beer. Now there are a good

00:36selection of beers on tap but it proved to be a good choice and quenched my thirst on a hot day.

00:40You can certainly see why I won the award. The pub is packed full of character and it's a beautiful

00:45spot with views worthy of a visit on their own. The staff are friendly and there are numerous

00:49events advertised for the community to get involved with. I can't speak highly enough of the outside

00:54seating area. There are not many better places to while away the hours on a summer's day with

00:58a cold pint in hand. Awards such as these always have a certain amount of subjectivity involved

01:03but I'm certainly not arguing against it being the best pub in Hampshire.
