Anton Arms in Test Valley

Good, friendly barmaid Rachel, good laugh great customer service , good food football on rubbish game

In Andover for short visit and popped in to the pub for saturday brunch. Warmly greeted by very helpful and friendly staff. Ordered drinks and food which was served quickly and well presented and as the weather was bad we stayed for another drink. Very impressed with the service and will pop back in when we are back in Andover.

Excellent service. Food was amazing. The staff was friendly. The cook jade Barber-Doyle came to check if the food was OK.

Last Wednesday I had dinner here and the burgers were unreal, all credit to the chef! Lovely atmosphere, great staff, would 100% recommend.

The food was poor, small portions and my burger was burnt. Our table was sticky and full of food crumbs all under our table. The men's toilets have a foul smell and my wife said the ladies were the same. The place was full of young enebriated people. Not a place I can recommend.

Had to wait for quite a while to book in. No designated till for food order's. Was pointed to our table Which wasn't very clean, neither was the chairs. Only a knife in the cutlery bucket & no condiments. Ordered our food via the app after waiting 40 mins my partner asked if the starter could come out with the mains & was told no you have to eat the 1 starter before our mains, then she said that oh & we don't have any vegan sausage left. (If my partner hadn't gone to ask about the starter when was they going to let us know?) When the starter arrived we asked the lady if we could have the mains and she offered to keep the starter and bring it with the main she was lovely thank you. When the mains came out the vegan meal was cold. The sirloin steak was supposed to be med-well but was med at best. The eggs were burnt the peas hard reheated bullets. How a chef could send food like this is disgusting. I would suggest instead of paying below par singers, to save the money and use it employ a chef. To which the live singers (singers used loosely) set there equipment right in front of a fire exit! Is this allowed? This is a pub trying to be something it's not. Because it's either a restaurant or a live music venue pub. Oh and it was table 32 booking at 8pm. Give this pub a wide berth if you want to eat nice food. Never again. Shame on you Anton Arms & shame on you Green King

Delicious food and great atmosphere! Friendly staff. First time in the UK and had steak and Ale pie. Must come back some time! Cheers from Finland!

Attended a funeral wake here on 1st September. Absolutely fabulous. The price was very reasonable, the food was excellent and the staff were brilliant. A sad occasion became a lovely family get together made more comfortable and pleasant by all the staff here. Many thanks to everyone.

Great food and drinks provided for my Grandads wake yesterday. The staff were friendly and accommodating for us all. Good value for money

Booked for Sunday roast. Not the best experience. Beef roast was overdone, the mash tasted more like smash and the veg were just boiled to oblivion. Cheap place but not worth the spend.

We visited as a party for six and from entering we were made welcome. All members of the group enjoyed the food and felt it was excellent value for money, I look forward for future visits.

Took my mum there for lunch. I’d been before but my mum hadn’t. We ordered our food and it didn’t take long, it was all freshly cooked and lovely and hot. All well presented too. We was served by Vicky, who was lovely, kind, helpful and has a good knowledge of the pubs menu. We was also served by Megan. Both girls were perfect with my mum who is quite a hard to please lady but she was impressed with the pub in general and then with the added bonus of lovely staff. We’ve even booked ourselves in for their fortnightly bingo session. Really looking forward to that. Thanks girls you are an asset to the pub. Xx

Seniors meal did 3 courses,chicken stripes cooked to perfection.. All day breakfast, (the perfect yolk) all of it cooked lovely.. Apple pie custard for afters.. Its a crime not to go at that cost...staff couldn't be more helpful and nice, looking forward to going again.

We were disappointed with our food and soroundings. The food was bland and basic. The decor overdone, with Christmas stuff up already and tacky hanging bits everywhere. Not for us.

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. One of the best meals we have had in England and excellent prices. We highly recommend this pub to everyone. You won’t be disappointed!

Great pub servicing good food and beer and sensible prices , warm welcome and it has been 11 years for me . Grace was lovely and took photos of my reunion with my son . Absolutely miss this place and well worth the drive from...

Popped in to hide from the down pour!! We happened to arrive as Bingo had just started. I was worried as my kids are only small and don’t care if a game of Bingo is on! But the staff and the players were lovely, letting...

As usual, a friendly welcome by staff. The environment was clean, bright and a comfortable temperature. Staff were very efficient and our meal was served in a timely manner and without the feeling we were being hurried. Quality , quantity and temperature of our food...

Always come here with family. Guaranteed a great service, with friendly staff and a great selection of food which is always served hot!

Visited for drinks. It's a boozing pub, nothing special. It is full of very drunk people, rather than people who want to enjoy a drink. Wallpaper falling off the walls in places. Not for us.

Thank you so much for making our Christmas party such a success, the staff couldn’t do more to make the evening go well, the food was brilliant - all in all a wonderful night

Recently visited the Anton arms with my family , the food was delivered fast and of good quality, the staff members appeared happy and helpful and there was a vibrant atmosphere. Thank you .

Visited the Anton for Jubilee fun day and what an amazing atmosphere there was. The blonde ladies on the Outside bar were lovely and friendly.

Claire was absolutely brilliant, it was Easter weekend so venue was very busy. She took my booking, had meal selections 6 days prior to our day of celebration, all meals ready for us. Service and staff professional and friendly. Would highly recommend The Anton as...

Booked a table for this evening and we weren't disappointed. Wonderful friendly staff and great food. We would recommend this place to anyone who wants classic pub food at reasonable prices. Top Mark's to Chloe and Connor for looking after us.

Had a lovely catch up with friends at this local pub, we was greeted pleasantly from Jade and had excellent service from her and the food was superb

First time visiting this pub. Was a great place to have lunch on the bank holiday. Food was Value for money and very nice. Staff member was friendly and very helpful.

Such a beautiful pub and they have amazing service. The food is excellent and is always a really high standard! The people who work there are so nice and will help you with anything you need! Would 100% recommend! Xo

This was a spontaneous visit by four of us for a meal. Three had gammon, egg, chips and peas and one had beef and ale pie. We all enjoyed the food with clean plates going back to the kitchen. Naomi our waitress was lovely and...

Meet friends for lunch and was greeted by friendly smiley faces. Was simple and quick to order by the app and food was quick, hot and lovely. Even splurged and had dessert. Will be visiting again.

Me and my friends go in once a week for lunch and never have a bad meal or experience food has been great staff are always welcoming and friendly.

Clare and the Team were so accommodating and made the afternoon run perfectly. Nothing was too much bother and the food was great. I would highly recommend this pub.

Went with friends to try out the brunch deal 12.30pm - 2pm. What a fantastic way to have food and drinks with friends just fot £20.00 . Food was great a good selection and so was the drinks menu Hope they do this again .

We are so lucky to have such a great ‘local’! Clare and her team always do everything to ensure the satisfaction of all guests. Even through such testing times over the past couple of years Clare does everything to ensure guests and staff all feel...

As always Claire an her Team were second to none on service Great food great price pleasant surroundings highly recommended.

Had a great evening with friends. Staff are very attentive and kind. Can’t wait to go back. Also I had a breakfast and it was to die for!!

The Anton Arms is and always will be the best pub in Andover! Clare does an exceptional job at making the pub cosy and inviting, as well as making everyone feel welcome and included. Of course, a great leader wouldn't be great without their team...

we came for a family meal the service and the food were second to none, nothing was to much trouble for claire and her team and we will be back after christmas *5 10/10

Came here for dinner this evening and very much enjoyed. Accommodating for veggies as enjoyed a lovely veggie katsu curry. Also was able to bring my dog who got dog of the week so he enjoyed his time being fussed over. Thanks guys :)

I honestly just had the best lunch in a long time . Warm, tasty, crispy and beautiful. Would definitely recommend and visit again 😊❤️❤️❤️ No doubt why it is always full of people. Amazing atmosphere and lovely staff ❤️

The Anton Arms always has a great atmosphere, and combine that with great service and food it equals a fantastic night out.

Thank you Claire and Team for a lovely Roast Dinner and the staff service was second to none highly recommended.

We visit this Pub Restaurant on a weekly basis. Food is great and the staff are friendly and professional. Food is reasonably priced too. Highly recommend

Very impressed with this place. Food was tasty and it was “service with a smile”. Sanitising the tables and chairs was too a high standard. Will certainly return.

Went for lunch today with my son and his girlfriend for his Birthday. The staff were very friendly and the food was lovely, I had the rump steak which was cooked to perfection (med/rare) my son had the bbq chicken doorstep (they changed the chicken...

Popped in for a mid week drink, pub was busy with good atmosphere. The staff were really friendly, quick service and good drinks! Just what you want!!

Fantastic meal tonight trying their new menu. Highly recommend the katsu curry burger and 12oz steak. Staff as always welcoming and polite.

Carla’s cooking was amazing today. My children thoroughly enjoyed their food and one usually complains. My fussiest said the fries were better than McDonald’s and the other said his chicken was better than KFC!!

Highly recommended the Anton Arms, all the staff are friendly and welcoming, wonderful customer service and the food is great value for money - be back soon!

This is my local, it’s a wonderful place to take the family, so relaxed and friendly. Claire has a great team of staff. The food is fantastic, well priced, especially if you have a big family. A great place for a night out with friends....

I love the place it has friendly staff Claire the owner is great food is always on point never had a problem with it and drinks are pretty cheap great place truly recommend it

Absolutely love this pub! Its ran by great people, food and drinks are always good and the atmosphere is brilliant! They get to know each customer and the regulars always feel right at home.

Such a lovely evening with family for a meal, a few drinks and a friendly quiz. So nice to see Clare and the team again and had as warm a welcome as ever. Great pub!

The one with the pretty face, was very kind and helpful and got everything I needed straight away 10/10

visited the Anton arms today where we were warmly welcomed by the staff. The food, drinks and service was fantastic, I would highly recommend and would most definitely visit again. Thank you

We visited the Anton Arms based on trip advisor. The whole experience was excellent, from the staff welcome and service, the food which we ordered via the app. The food quality was excellent and great value fir money. The drinks were excellent value too. This...

Amazing food cooked by an amazing chef I believe her name was Carla, great service but Clare and Darren, will definitely be coming here again.

Lovely meal, great value for money, we all enjoyed our evening, staff were very helpful and friendly.

First through the door upon re opening for a quick beer with a friend. All Covid stuff explained within the venue. Enjoyed the place so much it turned into lunch and a few more beers with a follow up visit two days later. Happily recommend...

Freshly cooked, excellent service and great value! Nice and clean environment, would recommend to anyone looking for a relaxed meal. Happy to come again!

I saw a recent review on the pub about a ‘large crowd ‘ of people outside and what looked like ‘some sort of band’. I was with my wife and daughter, the ‘band’ was a duo playing Christmas music for charity . They were socially...

Support your local pub! We’ve not been out in forever, the local pub has always been the best haunt for plotting dark deeds in quiet corners. Even with Covid restrictions, we were made to feel welcome by Clare and her team, the food was hot, fresh and there was plenty of it, we were under no pressure to order and there was no hassle to move on once we had finished. My chicken was superb and my wife, who eats very little, thoroughly enjoyed her macaroni cheese with very crispy bacon and sides of onion rings and garlic bread. Much love to all, a happy Christmas and a peaceful and prosperous new year!

whatever the mood, the weather, the time of day, or current tier! there is always a lovely feeling in the Anton, whether with a meal, a glass of wine (or two) or just a chat with friends over a beer.. its a grear atmostphere.Thanks to Clare and her team

Thank-you Clare for helping us have a safe time out last week, lovely food and lovely evening thanks to you and your team xxxx

Food is very nice and is all reasonably priced. The staff are very friendly and complying to COVID restrictions.

We had a great lunch with my daughter and granddaughter’s. we where net at the door and shown to our booked table. We used the app to order our food and drinks and it worked really well. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff especially Keeley. Lovely lunch thank you

Very easy to book a table using the new app. The staff are very welcoming and helpful. The food was very nice, what you would expect for the price. Will return.

All safety measures taken while keeping a warm & friendly atmosphere. Well organised & helpful staff. Thank you Clare & the team.

Went for a quiet drink after work, really pleasant. The new norm: Socially distanced, ultra clean, easy to order, good beer: What’s not to like?

we had supper Monday evening and everything was run so smoothly and to top it all the food was amazing too. Had a great evening. Thanks Clare and everyone else. Tip top service 😄

We decided to go The Anton to support their 1st day of opening and we were greeted by the manager who explained the new procedures that Greene King put in place. Download the Greene King App and it is really easy and fast to use. Our drinks turned up extremely quickly and our food was ample and hot! The staff and atmosphere was friendly. Felt very safe. Very well organised 5*

Popped into our local with friends for a few drinks and a lovely meal this evening. We were Greeted with a lovely smile and a warm welcome from the Landlady.There is always such a lovely friendly vibe about this place and nothing ever seems to be an issue, We had a young child with us with food allergies and everything was taken care of without a problem - thankyou.Clare really is an asset to this company, I only hope she gets the recognition she deserves.See you soon x

We had a day off work today to look after our nephews, had heard some great reviews so thought we would try this pub. We went for some lunch and the boys loved it. There was a variety of food available for the us and the kids and at good prices. Food arrived within 15-20 minutes and the boys ate every mouthful. The staff made us all feel so welcome, made conversation with the boys, made sure our food was okay and showed us where the toy cupboard was which kept the kids entertained. Ended with some ice cream and chocolate cake! Amazing food and service! We will be back soon!

Never a dull moment in the Anton! Visited for my birthday and was treated like a VIP! Thoroughly recommend 😍

I came here yesterday with my husband for a meal and ordered a burger.We waited nearly half an hour and it wasn't even busy in there. The burger was horrendous! The bun was greasy, burger was over cooked, the lettuce was wilted and looked 10 days old and the chips were cold. Needless to say I wasn't happy and sent it back.I then chose the hunters chicken in replacement and that wasn't much better. That took another half an hour to come in which that time my husband has finished his food. The chicken was processed frozen you could tell by the shape of it and it was very watery, the waitress argued with me about it (what happened to the customer is always right?)I ate the chips and said I would leave the rest, the waitress then said she would refund me which I thought was nice sinse I didn't ask for a refund After waiting 15 mins I went to the bar and she refunded half of the money for my meal, slightly confused to why I didn't get the whole amount for my food back I just walked out.The service wasn't good and the waitress was dressed in Adidas jogging bottoms, not very smart. I personally think this place gives Greene King a bad name and it certainly wasn't upto Greene King standard. Would we return? Absolutely not.

Staff friendly and food good value. Steak and ale pie recommended. Comfortable venue. Quizzes on a Sunday

Thanks Anton Arms for a fun-filled evening! Really epic service and top quality, tasty food. My fantastic group which only had two people in ordered mains, drinks and deserts and all were exquisite! Thanks again :))))))

Thank you Clare and the team for an amazing neon party night! All your team and regulars looked fabulous in their neon outfits and all the decor was brilliant. So much fun was had by all. Best pub ever!! Team Anton

Wow, it was the managers 18th year as maanager of the pub last night and we just happened to stumble upon their neon party, well it was brill, the music, the atmosphere and great value for money on drinks, whens the next one!!!

We visited last Sunday whilst passing through and had a great Sunday roast, not just value for money but also delivered to perfection, thank you for a lovely Sunday :)

I visited this pub a Business trip , The pub is extremely clean and I would like to send my appreciation to the cleaner!! Staff are friendly very well done!!

Me and the partner popped in for a quick drink on Saturday evening and we were wowed by how busy the place was but even more so by how the staff were in such high spirits serving with a smile! A real treat in this day and age!

Came here for the first time after moving to the area. Great bar staff, especially Clare, very attentive and catered for all needs. Will definitely come again.

Lovely Christmas lunch, could not finish it though, so much. Service also excellent, thank you Kayleigh, Mike Trowbridge (Margaret & Reg)

Very friendly staff, cater well for the kids with games etc, reasonably priced food and tasty. We wnet on a Friday, for a quick early dinner, there are lots of different food offers on different days. Well worth a visit
