Heron on the Lake

Modern estate pub in a lush setting on Fleet pond, kitted out in a not quite authentic but otherwise tasteful boating theme. The star is the large outdoor area stretching out over the lake, where you can also book individual pods. Yes, the is a resident heron to justify the pub's name sake. Food dominates and you may have a wait at the bar as the staff fulfil waitress table orders before they attend to walk-up customers. Still, gives you time to peruse the ale options as McMullen is pretty rare around these parts.
