We visited for mother's day, when a lovely member of staff asked who the mums were out of our party. 3 of us put our hands up and the lady came back with a gift for us all. A lovely box with a mini gin and tonic for each of us. ?Very warm and friendly pub, and the roast beef was the nicest ice ever eaten.

Four adults and one child called in for lunch on a Monday in March. The pub was unexpectedly busy. The ONE server behind the bar - the only person at all 'out front' - found a table for us. When ordering, he warned us there would be a longer than usual wait as they were short staffed - we appreciate such honesty. Yes, the food did take a bit longer but not that much and it was delicious. We felt sorry for the poor chap as he was literally running around. He was very apologetic when he brought our meals.

Dropped in for lunch, greeted as we walked in. Had to ask for menu as weren't on table. Ordered at bar and food arrived quickly and was great quality, fish and chips. Little bit dingy but not dark but an old building hence 4 stars.

Welcome refreshment after a visit to Mottisfont Abbey. The NT cafe there is characterless and uninspiring. This pub is a lovely stop off, on the way home. Full of character.
Absolutely lovely pub with strong country vibe and core of friendly locals at the bar (which is always a great sign ✅)Vegetarian options: Varied and availableDietary restrictions: Although not affected the staff were very attentive and and clued upParking: Plenty of space adjacent to pubKid-friendliness: Loads of families in when we visited although I didn’t notice and outside play area.
