Deceptive DeHavilland
Part of the Hall & Woodhouse family of premium community pubs, though it looks 200 years old, the De Havilland Arms in Elvetham Heath was built in 2003 and was named after Geoffrey de Havilland - the British aviation innovator. The farmhouse design, with a beautiful terrace and garden outside and roaring log fires, flagstones and oak beams inside, make the wonderfully friendly pub perfect for all seasons.
