Impromptu supper out. Fantastic service from Paige and the rest of the team. Friendly atmosphere, clean and tidy and food was piping hot and presented beautifully. A real midweek treat! Paige you’re a star - big smile, updated us on menu changes / additions and checked back regularly. Many thanks! Highly recommend.

Lovely evening with great choice of drinks. I had the katsu curry and my wife had scampi which was lovely. Where can I get that curry sauce?????

Had the yummiest lunch today at the walkford, I had the vegetarian focaccia it was absolutely delicious so full of flavour! 10/10 to the chef Shay on shift! Lovely atmosphere and really sunny table, it was bliss, my friends really enjoyed there lunch too, we will definitely be coming back very soon!

We chose the Walkford to hold the wake after our mothers funeral at the New Forest Crematorium in Stem Lane. The Walkford was a convenient location which was easy to get to after the service. The staff at the Walkford were great, the buffet was well presented and tasted delightful - especially the sausage and pickle rolls. I would thoroughly recommend the Walkford, it is a great pub for food, functions and ambience.

We are new to the area and exploring local pubs. The Walkford pub, we had a lovely lunchtime meal of fish and chips x2 (on special offer 2 for £18) and a signature burger. The food was very enjoyable and great value for money. Nice surroundings, welcoming, happy staff. A good pint of draught Abbot Ale. Thank you! We shall be back!

Great tasting food, better quality than you average local pub mealGood choice of ales and spirits at the bar.Cheerful and laid back staff that do a really good job, give them a thank cause they work hard at making you experience a good one.We had booked an event for 30 people and use there skittle alley at the back, you can walk through to the pub to get drinks.We ordered food which was brought out to us, great quality and very good to cater for us and the pub customers.Parking: From of the pub just pulling off the raid is easy and the spaces are big.More parking round the back and access to function room should you want to book it for an event.

We chose the Walkford for Sunday lunch. The Sunday roast sirloin beef was stunning. So much on the plate peas, carrot, parsnips, cauliflower cheese, roasties, Yorkshire pud & beef was lovely. Ordered extra pigs in blankets. Wife had a Mac and cheese with lovely garlic bread & my daughter had nuggets and chips (as usual). Wife loved her food & my Sunday roast was amazing . Daughter who is a fussy eater loves the Walkford and their food. For dessert we had sticky toffee pudding with custard and ice cream, so good! Daughter had chocolate brownie which she loves. Great service, lovely people & a great atmosphere what more could you want? We'll be back for more Walkford you can count on it!

We returned to lunch here as we were so impressed with Sally we had to come back as she made us feel so welcome and is great with our dog plenty of treats. It's nice to find a waitress with a smile and very knowledgeable all round. Will be back lovely meal as well.

Great food and service, albeit when there busy you may need to queue. Come Brits we love queuing. Good selection of drinks at bar and very food quality food, it's more restaurant food than pub grub to be honest
Dropped in herein the way home from a weekend away. I live locally but had never tried it. It was lovely. Very friendly team, nice surroundings, good menu (it was a Sunday eve, about 6). The food was very good. I had soup and a roast, hot, fresh and really good value. We had 2 courses each and a bottle of wine, the bill was circa £55. I will certainly use it far more often and reccoemnd to friends. It’s so good to have a warm welcome, friendly service, great food and good value. Thank you

We had a meal here and the food was good. Very reasonable prices. Must say the staff were very professional and we will certainly be back.

Having been coming for the last 3 years for Boxing Day with the family this year was most definitely the last!Having been booked in and paid up since 1st November the service we received since we got there was appalling and not up to the previous years standards.We had been seated in the bar area with no other dinners around us, no waiter service and no attention from any staff for the whole of our visit.Upon entering we were told that we would be offered the same experience as in the restaurant area… but we were not.With three young children in tow, we were located furthest away from the female toilets, changing facilities and the outdoor play area… so were constantly walking through the restaurant back and forwards. Likely, unintentionally, annoying other diners in the process.When questioned why we were sat in the bar I was told by the young blonde waitress that it was because they had not been informed that an additional three dinners had joined our table and it had only been booked for 6 people and 6 deposits paid. Puzzled I said that when I physically came into the pub on the 14th November to provide our meal orders and check adequate deposit was paid I was told it had and all was in order! (6 adults and 3 children).We only in fact had to pay £60 deposit and actually my father paid £100 as it means there is less to pay on Boxing Day. I was then told she didn’t want to discuss it with me and she was very rude and abusive across our table shutting me down when I explained she was wrong about the comments she was making! (Clearly mistaking us for something else).After speaking with the on duty bar manager upon leaving we were provided with a small discount on the final bill of £30 I guess as a gesture of goodwill. Unfortunately despite the gesture, the treatment from the bar staff has been enough to ruin our trip and we will not be returning next year.Oh and the food was ok at best.

I visited your pub on the 23rd December for a quick drink with friends before Xmas. I was pleasantly surprised at a lady singing live music at the pub. We ended up staying until she finished singing as she was just amazing. Hope to see her again when we visit as she changed the atmosphere of your pub and made our day
