15th-century pub with a garden and terrace on the banks of a small lake, plus Modern British menu. One landlord of the Globe who held a special place in the towns cricket history was Thomas Taylor. He was one of the Hambledon Club team who, on l8th June 1777, beat All England by an innings and 168 runs (the other Alresford man in the team was Richard Veck). Among the entertainments at the Globe was the Melon Feast; the fruit being judged for perfection before becoming the principal dish.
On the 26 September 1943 the B17 Flying Fortress “Lady Luck”, carrying a full bomb load, got into difficulties over Alresford. Captain Robert Cogswell ordered his nine crewmen to bail out remaining on board the aircraft himself in an attempt to steer the bomber away from the town. The plane crashed just east of Alresford Pond Captain Cogswell having jumped to safety himself shortly before it crashed.
The plaque in Soke Gardens honours Captain Cogswell of the 303 Bomb Group, US 8th Air Force and his conduct in saving Alresford from a potential disaster.
Soke Gardens can be found down the lane to the right of the Globe on the Lake pub at the bottom of Broad Street.

Nathaniel Marsh5 StarGreat food and friendly staff.
We visited here one Saturday evening. Staff were very accommodating when we booked at short notice - even reshuffling the tables/booking to fit our reservation in. Food and drinks were both well presented and clearly done to a high standard. Our waitress was knowledgeable when answering our questions about the menu.
Having ordered Kumar's authentic curry I would recommend trying this, as it is truly excellent.
Desserts were sensible portions to round off the meal.
We look forward to visiting again!Monday 27th June 2022
Aaron Marsh5 StarWe had a really pleasant experience here. Good was great and the waitress was very friendly and chatty. Would recommend. Worth noting that parking outside is very limited so we had to park up the road.Friday 8th July 2022
Matthew W4 StarExcellent light lunch. I went for the fish cake starter, my daughter a portion of fries and 17 year old son the lemon tart...yes an odd mix but we each got the bit we wanted. All were perfectly cooked. Will repeat with my wife for a proper meal next time. Good garden view of the lake if you get the right table although in summer it's easy as a garden overlooking the water.Monday 31st January 2022
Phin Hall5 StarLovely old pub on the edge of Alresford by the lake. No car park but there are plenty of spaces nearby. Good beer, good food and lovely views of the lakeFriday 13th May 2022
Valerie Foard5 StarHad lunch here today in this lovely old pub overlooking a pond. We chose fish and chips and really enjoyed them. The staff were so friendly and efficient, we loved it. We will definitely return.Sunday 13th March 2022
