    Very lucky to have the Saxon a few minutes walk from my house. If ciders are your thing, then I think there are normally about 12 to choose from. The large selection of craft ales is constantly being changed, so every time you pop in, there'll be new ones to try out. The owner and all the staff are very friendly and have a very good knowledge of the ales. The customers are also a friendly bunch, so basically a great place for a beer and a chat.

    Lovely wide range of real beer keg and cast options. (Also gins and wine) Friendly and efficient service in a small pub with great atmosphere. An absolute must visit for drinks if visiting Christchurch. (No kids)
