This is a very cosy pub, my friend and I popped in for a quick drink and warm up on a Sunday. We had a couple of soft drinks, sat as close to the open fire as possible, which has two sofas adjacent to it, but were occupied, I can imagine the sofas by the fire are never easy to get, but still, the pub was nice and toasty. The staff were lovely and friendly, the resident dog said hi and the drinks were cheap and refreshing. The pub offers food and next time I think i'd like to eat, on this visit, it was just a quick stop off to grab a refreshing drink before heading home.

Me and my brother had fish and chip meal (5th January 24) such a lovely homely atmosphere, and proper log fires. Would visit againWheelchair accessibility: N/a

Fantastic pub all round! We come fairly regularly and it’s always a joy. Rob & Anita are so friendly and go out of their way to accommodate our daughter who has serious allergies and they always make us feel at ease and give plenty of options which is very hard to find! We came today to celebrate a birthday as a large family group and as always it was great, we had such a lovely time. Thank you both and your staff for such a nice day we really appreciate it. We will be back again soon.

Thankfully we ate in the restaurant area which was tastefully decorated for Christmas. There were too many yapping dogs in the bar area for my liking. There was a small menu but the food was excellent and the service pleasant. There is a great outdoor area which would be excellent in the warmer months. The pub's website does not do justice to how good it is inside

If it was not for the miserable owner that barks orders it would be a great pub. I will not be coming back, fed up with your attitude, I am sure there is plenty more pubs in Romsey that would appreciate us.

Absolutely everything a great pub should be and more. Food that was insanely good. Great beers and wines. Friendly staff and a lovely atmosphere. And at very very reasonable prices. Literally couldn’t find a single fault. Will be back whenever I

A very busy Pub today and service was still really good whilst we were there ! Staff were friendly/attentive and the food was excellent . Highly recommended. I also enjoyed the best pint of HSB in yonks..I hope CAMRA know about their ales ?
This was the second time I had been for lunch there in 4 days. We had booked both times. On Friday there were two of us but we waited 40 mins for our lunch to be served but were given coffees on the house to compensate for the wait. I did put our wait down to the fact that a lot of people were having the Christmas menu which was pre-ordered so they didn't have to wait too long for theirs and we were ordering from the ordinary menu. Today there were six of us booked in for 1.00pm. Again there was quite a wait for our starters and once we'd finished them we then had a good 25-30 mins wait for our main courses. We couldn't put this down to people having the pre-booked Christmas menu as it is not offered on a Monday. In fact we were at first given the Sunday menus as the staff had not changed them to the weekday menus! One of the main courses was returned as the beef was so tough the person wasn't able to cut it. I ordered a coffee after the mains and there was one pudding ordered. My coffee took more than 10 mins to arrive and after another long wait we cancelled the pudding order and asked for the bill. The cost of the beef was deducted but there was no apology for the long waits. We won't be going back.

Yet another fabulous evening meal in the Old House at Home. Met up with long lost friends and had delicious food.... 5 different pies available plus the normal menu. Steak and kidney was lovely as were veg and chips. All food tasty and well presented, waiting staff helpful and welcoming. Free parking

We wanted to see the menu first, but before we could get our bearings, we felt we're backed into a corner as the very effusive bar person mmedaitely asked us what we'd like to drink. We hadn't seen the menu at this stage let alone sat down.The belly pork meal was quite pricey yet a very small portion. The vegetables were hard and the dauphinoise potatoes warmed up. The belly pork itself was supposed to be served with a black pudding crumb but it wasn't evident. Disappointed.

A cosy country pub right in the centre of Romsey. Tasty dishes well above the average pub food. Plenty of parking spaces on site as well as in the nearby public car park that is free to use after 4pm.
