Anton Arms in Test Valley

I was frantically ringing around trying to find somewhere to have a wake for my mum. (only a couple of days before the funeral) I rang the Anton Arms and they said "yes sure we'll set a side a room for you", which was great, I originally said about 14 people but it ended up being about 25 people. The staff were brilliant, we had drinks, sharing platters, cheesy chips, nachos etc, also a few people had pie and chips. Came to under £250. Thankyou so much to the staff for taking the stress out of my day.

Hard working staff who look after their customer's

Today on the 19th of November 2024 a group of 14 pensioners began the festive season with a very enjoyable Christmas lunch - the food was superb, Clare the manager and the staff were kind, attentive and helpful to a bunch of old fogies. It is all that which makes the atmosphere at the Anton so special and it is certainly worth driving out specially from Winchester to enjoy it. We'll be back!

Cheap and cheerful . Interior and toilets not the cleanest and service was quite slow

Stopped for a drink as this will be our new local. Very friendly welcome, efficient service and the menu looks great and was extremely reasonably priced. The food we saw looked and smelled amazing! Cannot wait to go back!

Nice little pub with very reasonably priced food

Very busy , nice food, excellent customer service.

Great pub, great food, great service. Will definitely use again. Thanks Anton Arms.

Took my mum for lunch and had a lovely time friendly staff excellent food be back soon x

Had the lasagna, it was great. Grandson enjoyed the pasta. Wife enjoyed the fish and chips.

Good little pub, great food and lots of pub sports available

You know what? Fairly cheap and cheerful but it does what you want it to. Grabbed a quick lunch which was genuinely tasty (fried chicken rolls can’t go wrong with that) and met our needs to kill an hour over lunch. Friendly staff too which is great

Excellent food at very fair prices. Wine very reasonably priced per bottle.

Went this afternoon for bingo, also had fish and chips, and an all day breakfast, both for £11.49. Piping hot and really well cooked, will certainly be going again. Well done 👍

2nd time Ive had a bad experience here, first was me 18th birthday and yesterday (12th may) it was hot and i just had a newborn (3weeks old) and Mia was really rude saying we should sit outside in the sun! She was rude to another customer opposite me, refused to serve me, my partner or this customer, bar was also filled with glasses my dinner also took over an hour then had plastic in it

Mia is an absolute sparkle of sunshine

Great service and reasonably priced food, always a warm welcome

Now dog friendly throughout meaning we can take our dog best mate to our fave pub and have plenty of space. Great food choices and range of drinks. Really friendly staff.

The service was great, friendly and met with a warm.welcome. The pub is spacious and segregated to a bar, pool and darts etc and a quiet sitting and chat area where food is served. Well laid out. The food was using the same Greenking menu and was nice enough. Servings are fair but not generous, the biggest issue today was that both meals were only warm, no steam, not hot, but warm. It was mid afternoon and I suspect the kitchen was off the boil, but non-the- less food should be served as it is intended, fresh and fulfilling. My wife wanted a sweet, I was disappointed 2 of the five offerings were not available! Overall a good pub, the IPA was good a nice clean pint, tasted fresh, lines are cleaned regularly and the pint was good and pricing fair.

Claire and the team are always welcoming. The food is great and good value for money. Recently celebrated my birthday there, very accommodating with numbers. Lovely atmosphere. Thank you 😊

Been here a few times and enjoyed the beer, food, and friendly staff

Always accommodating. Great people

Went to Anton arms Saturday 16th was a great clean friendly pub good atmosphere and friendly staff food was lovely would recommend to friends and family

Had a delicious meal - and so reasonably priced. Very generous portions too. Was a positive experience and I'd definitely go back.

Amazing family pub and value for money, the breakfast with santa is an amazing idea, will definitely come back again

Good food and good service. Staff very friendly

Food is good. Pay £3.25 for a half full coke every time.

Food was lovely and a very good price lovely atmosphere and very friendly staff will definitely be going back

Great all round.....food, service and ambience

I needed somewhere to watch the football that also served food, the Anton Arms did not disappoint. With a warm and comfortable environment, it didn't take me long to find a seat and order a drink and some food in front of one of the TV screens displaying the match. I felt a craving for carbs so I had Hunter's topped chips and cheesy garlic bread - both were absolutely perfect, portions were great and taste was amazing and definately not an all-too-common microwave job. Staff were friendly enough and the atmosphere was top-notch. Will definately go again, 5 Stars.

Lovely Saturday evening 🙂 watching The Showponies

Come in the anton quite often and the staff are always so friendly, lovely atmosphere all round too. The food came within 10-15 mins was amazing. Great experience as always, Definitely recommend

Friendly pub with sky sports and really well priced food. Lovely staff. We only use the sports side as we have a dog.

My favourite spot in Andover! Amazing food at extremely reasonable Prices, friendly staff always, Regular entertainment and fun themed evenings such as quiz and karaoke. Love it at the Anton

Always polite and lovely service the food is amazing, good size and really low price on the deals and they don't bump up the price on drinks highly recommended 2 meals for under £12 can't beat that

This pub needs to decide whether they are a pub or restaurant The wait for the food was unacceptable And when it did arrive was cold over cooked the worst meal we have ever had hence we didn't eat our meals Then they decided to have music in such a small venue you couldn't hear yourself think. In such a small bar

Leuke pub met goed eten en gratis parkeergelegenheid voor de deur. Groot manco is de reinheid van met name de toiletten waar bijvoorbeeld de vloeren naar mijn mening in geen twee maanden een dweil hebben gezien.

We went there for a quick food and to chill a little bit. Very friendly and quiet place (the time we went), we didn't have to wait very long to receive our food. I had a burger, which was tasty. I definitely will be back some day. If the weather is nice, you can sit outside as they have a few banch and table outside to sit.

Loved this place quick service excellent food a good old English pub experience.

Lovely lunch. Staff were polite and helpful. Nice atmosphere. Well done to Claire and the team.

Helpful and friendly staff, with good basic food at an affordable value.

We had 3 build your own burgers, all were very nice. The beef patty is really thick and tasty. Would definitely recommend the burgers. The coffee is nice as well.

Went on Build Your Own Burger Wednesday to see what the food is like. We were not disappointed. The food was delicious and an absolute bargain price. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, and they have a great selection of drinks. We will definitely be visiting again. And soon!

Chain pub, great stop on way through aouth-west, stopped here for football and dinner. Lovely staff, standard menu, cheaper prices

Visited the Anton Arms yesterday (17/08). The only negative about my trip was the rudeness of a fellow customer sat on the adjacent table. He Cleary has a problem with being happy. I opted for the fish and chip shop platter and I must say it would rival any local chip shop for quality. The Manager deserves a medal. The way she was spoken to by the fellow customer was a disgrace. There was nothing wrong with either the food or drink served. The only thing at fault was him. I appreciate we all get old and grumpy but please remember there are people in this world starving, this was just pure waste due to a poor attitude. Maybe it’s time he checked himself into a local care home to enjoy his final years - God Bless

Nice to be at the Anton Great pub and friendly people good prices.

Fabulous service. Such a warm welcome. Great food. Thank you. Claire. Meghan. Kayleigh. Darren and lady in kitchen. Woodlands

Great value food very slow service as it was busy but the value you get it worth the wait

Friendly staff, nice busy pub. I didn't eat, but my friends that did said the food was tasty

First time, could not fault anything, food perfect, staff polite and courteous. Enough said.

Always a pleasure. Great atmosphere. Great staff. Great food. What more could you want. Pet friendly

Great place good food good price great staff

Couldnt ask for more! Great food and even better service

Staff are so lovely, really great atmosphere

We were on the last few days of our vacation from Canada and happened upon this gem of a place on our way from Stonehenge. The minute we walked in we felt at home! The friendly smiles, quaint decor and cosy feel was exactly what we needed after a long day of sightseeing. The food was so delicious and the portions were the perfect amount. Our server Jade and our waitress Leoni were extremely kind and helpful and went above and beyond. We highly recommend this pub to everyone. You won’t be disappointed!

Such a lovely layout for the restaurant, the food was lovely and you get a lot, service was brilliant. Such a good price too, definitely go again!!

Not been before as not in my area, just passing lovely good value food, good atmosphere, great staff 👍

Why haven't I come here now often?? Staff are all really friendly. Food is lovely and great prices too.😀 Highly recommend. You won't be disappointed.

Excellent local pub. Plenty of outdoor seating. Great choice of food and drink. Pool table and sky sports so win all round.

Had a burger and chips burger was very greasey not very nice for my dog loved it. Great service and value will definitely eat there again just not the burger.

Great pub and staff - senior meal is great value for money.

Lush food is well worth a visit. Burgers are fabulous.

Popped in for Coronation day! Lots of art for the kiddies, cakes for Macmillian, great atmosphere, amazing food and service as always. Returned a few days later, met with smiles and politeness. The staff are wonderful and always take the time to ask about your day. Stayed for lunch, food was fab. Best pub in Andover

Quick lunch at Anton Arms. Great service, had Chicken Tikka as a main. One of the best I ever had at the Pub. For dessert I tried the Biscoff Cheesecake with vanilla ice cream. Nice and creamy. Highly recommend! I'll be back!😀

Brilliant experience, friendly staff,lovely food,perfect service thank you

Little bit of wait, as advised. But food was worth it.

We had the senior's menu, all three courses, this week. It was absolutely delicious, and great value for money.

Visited here with my disabled/special needs children it was first time we had tried to go out for a nice family meal in years 100% recommend staff very polite and the food was absolutely amazing the burgers where fantastic and the lotus biscoff cheese cake was to die for such a lovely first experience at this pub and the children did so well it helps when us the parents and the children feel relaxed and safe and welcome helps to ease their anxiety and it was a nice chilled feeling had staff laughing and smiling at our children laughing loudly which was lovely as often we feel we have to try Force them to be quite or leave and didn't feel like it here it's awful to have to punish you're children for being children or being happy and excited but we didn't have to leave and got to enjoy our first meal out in such a long time we can only do it as a treat but we shall definitely be coming back to this pub from our first experience

Went in .had a warm welcome. Had fish and chips ...Great price and spot on bite to eat with my nephew. I'm a non drinker but he enjoyed a couple of pints and my soft drink where enjoyable.

Always a great relaxing time when I meet my friends here,with enjoyable food,chatty staff,great atmosphere...prices aren't bad either.

Nice pub, decent food, friendly people and sports! What more do you want!

Friendly atmosphere in the busy public bar this last Friday evening. Can only comment on the Peroni and San Miguel which were both perfect!

Stop for a couple of pints with my mate. Brilliant service, comfortable and warm atmosphere. Worth a visit

Today I booked all the family in for a new year's day dinner and I have too say the Anton Arms done the business for 16 of us . The landlady Claire delivered a fantastic culinary experience and all the bar staff were great. Everyone in our party were very impressed and pleased with everything. Great job Anton Arms 10/10 Happy New year....... Alan Grist

Wow what an amazing little pub 😊 went for a family meal and just had the best time, all staff kind friendly and very helpful. Would definitely recommend this pub

Absolutely fabulous pub, would highly recommend taking a visit. Food was lovely ,the staff made us feel very welcome,lovely and clean place. I can not fault the place. Thank you Anton Arms we will be back 😊

Great food, good prices and lovely staff.

Great pub in Andover. Even better prices.

Lovely, welcoming pub! Friendly staff, great drink selection and good value for money food menu! Never had a bad visit! 👍

This pub is one of the most friendliest pubs around, warm welcome and brilliant staff, food is very good too, good prices and lots of offers!

I am a regular here.. however this evening I watched the football game (World cup) with a few friends and relatives, which was fine. I also messaged in the morning to ask if it was ok for my son to be there too. However after the game had finished, we were asked to leave (which was fine, as my son is young) we had a taxi booked, however it was delayed.. we waited outside as I understood that my son needed to be off the premises. Because the taxi was delayed a certain member of staff continued to come out and aggressively tell us we needed to leave. Which I understand however if the taxi is delayed there is not a lot I could do. She proceeded to bully us and tell us that our parenting was out of order because we hadn't got the taxi home already. I feel extremely upset that someone who doesn't know us can comment on someone's parenting, also we were very polite and happy to leave as we understood the the rules but to be spoken to and about like that is extremely upsetting. So to some this pub up, if you are looking for a "family friendly" pub do not choose here go to the popular farm or elsewhere where they will expect family's and your loyalty.

Friendly bar staff. Relaxed atmosphere.. very helpful..would highly recommend 🙂

Very friendly staff and the food was very good. Highly recommended

Wasn't impressed with the beer, food was good but a little on the expensive side. I guess at 71 it's not really my scene.

Nice friendly staff, great food

Delicious meal we had the Hunter chicken 2 meals for £11.49 . Worth a visit.

A great friendly pub ..basic pub grub and a good selection of beers and cider. Its also worth getting on the email list for special offers free drinks

Lovely pub. Staff are friendly. Somewhere to take your dog, and have a drink/meal 👍🏻

Great place with a friendly atmosphere and a reasonably priced menu if you fancy something to eat 👌

A little bit expensive but really good food and pleasant staff. What more could you ask for

We have just left the Anton Arms, after stopping at 3 other pubs along the A303, where we couldn't get lunch! We phoned ahead to the Anton Arms and spoke to Tom, who was absolutely lovely and confirmed that they were still serving lunch and there was room. We had a terrific roast dinner there and Tom was extremely welcoming and friendly. We would go back. The food was simple, home cooked comfort food and very good. Tom was the icing on the cake and so friendly and a definite credit to the pub 👌

Sunday lunch. They had no beef, turkey or Yorkshire puddings. What they had was fine but chicken wings wasn't what we booked a table to enjoy.

Very nice welcome by staff nice clean pub, food was excellent will definitely be going back

Great pub / restaurant. Good friendly atmosphere.

Fantastic foods, service his excellent, will be going back again. 😀
