Great meal at a reasonable price and the service was spot on. It was a quiet time of day so to mark them down on atmosphere may seem a bit harsh, but overall very good. Nice outside area with plenty of tables. I didn't see many parasols but maybe they are supplied on request?

Had a really nice lunch here yesterday. It was very busy but the service was fast, food was piping hot and delicious, really good chips! Staff were friendly and polite, and both the restaurant and toilets were very clean. Booking a table does only give you a 90 minute slot, but the service was fast enough that this wasn't a problem. My only disappointment was that I didn't manage to meet the pub cat!

We went for Sunday lunch with family. Party of 6 adults. All the staff were polite and helpful. The initial arrival acknowledgment could have been a little warmer, however, it was a busy Easter Sunday lunchtime and they were greeting many people as they arrived. It did feel like a lot of the staff were new and still learning though. We were seated quickly and the drinks order taken straight away. Two of our party were a little late, sadly, but the food order was taken quite quickly once they had arrived. I was aware that we only had a two hour time slot. The food was good, we had four starters and four roasts (3 chicken & 1 lamb), one scampi and chips and one pie of the day. Portion sizes were reasonable, meat portions were good but we did have to ask for more gravy and vegetables as they only brought out one small plate/dish of mixed veg between 4 adults. We didn't need puddings though as we were all pretty full. Prices are average for the area. Unfortunately, a waitress cleared our table while one of our party was still eating, without asking if that was okay, which is not good service. But we were getting close to the end of our allotted time slot and I felt they were trying to rush us a little, although I do understand why. I have used The Bear & Ragged Staff many times over the years and am glad that it has retained its country pub style and never been 'glammed' up too much. It is homely, comfortable and relaxing. The current management appear to be good. I would have given a 4.5 if I could. It wasn't quite a 5 but we did have a good time. My only one real gripe is that a beautiful Weeping Willow that stood in the car park for many years has been felled which made me sad. It also leaves the beer garden open and exposed to the road and car park and with no shade.

We chose the trout with an oriental twist, and really enjoyed it. The service was friendly and efficient, there was nothing we could fault. We arrived at 12.30 having wisely booked a table. At that point it was not really busy, but by 13.15 we were delighted to see that it was almost completely full - and deservedly so. We will be back next time we visit Romsey.

Pub was nice inside, went for Sunday lunch. Unfortunately the chicken roast I had was the worst I’ve had. It was a strange amalgamation of bits of chicken with stuffing. Very unappealing. Staff were helpful though and refunded the roast. Partners food was good, just don’t pick the chicken!

Dried out yorkshire puddings, very small amount of crackling that we had to ask for and was delivered with poor attitude Drinks not delivered for ages after ordering Ignored by waitresses who were " busy " wiping the tables, or rather wiping round the condiments and candle had to clear our own plates onto the window sill behind us left without ordering desserts or coffee as no one asked us if we wanted any and tbh we didn't want to give them any more of our money

Went for lunch today and ordered the fish pie. It came in a tiny round dish topped with sliced new potatoes. The actual pie consisted of a few tiny pieces of fish and peas in a thin watery sauce. In addition, I had about six boiled new potatoes on the side with no butter and yet more peas and kale. The kale was so tough it was basically inedible. This was honestly the worst fish pie, what there was of it, I have ever had in a pub. In addition to the food, the ladies toilets were dirty and I dread to think the last time they were cleaned properly. I shan't be going back.

UPDATED POST October 2024 - Very poor service on a Friday lunchtime, 1.30pm. Our mains took a while to arrive but it was fairly busy. I paid for two ice creams at 14.19. Twenty minutes later (our main dishes, dirty, were still in front of us), my wife went to enquire and 2 desserts soon appeared - but - they weren't ours. The server went to investigate as there were no other dessert orders in the kitchen. Oh, she said later, the till roll had run out in the kitchen so they didn't know about your order. When our ice creams finally arrived, they gave us an extra scoop for free to make amends. ORIGINAL POST had 5 stars, April 2024.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.

We visited this place today on the way home for an evening out when we got there the place was quiet which was expected for a Thursday evening, we went in found a table and got food menus we choose what we want (3 adults 2 kids) went to the bar and ordered where the bar maid was bit half hearted, I ordered food and then our drinks which was then made in front of me “3 pint Pepsi please” wasn’t sure if she thought I ment 3 pints of ice and dash of Pepsi as the glass was full to the top with ice but we move on. Food was delivered to the table I look at the plate and thought where the other half of my dinner a sprinkling of chips bit of chicken with bacon and cheese on it and bowl of coleslaw the kids meal look like it had more in it at this point…. Will not be returning for the price of £80 for 3 adult meals and 2 kids meal 3 pints of Pepsi 1/2 pint Pepsi and apple juice no wonder our pubs are going to the ground!!

Went for lunch today and ordered two sandwiches (on toasted ciabatta.) We decided to share so split the chicken, bacon and barbecue one and the BLT. We also ordered a starter portion of halloumi fries. The pub was relatively busy but we had to wait over half an hour for food which seemed excessive for what we ordered and we were not advised there was a wait. The food was hot when placed in front of us. The halloumi fries were nice but served with garlic mayo, not the siracha mayo as described on the menu. Our issue was the sandwiches. As you can see from the photo I think £9.95 for a barely half filled, hardly toaster ciabatta is ridiculous. The BLT (not pictured) had a little more filling but not much more. I don’t really know how the kitchen feel comfortable about sending this out. No one came to check if we were happy with our meal and did not say anything when we left because frankly I couldn’t be bothered. The pub is fine for a drink but I wouldn’t order food…it’s expensive for what you get!

Probably one of the best Pub Sunday roast dinner I’ve had in a very long time! Plenty of vegetables to go around and the extra free roast potatoes to keep us hungry males happy!

Had a roast dinner a couple of months ago and wasn't impressed, as locals thought we would give it another try, (benefit of the doubt) and what an improvement, roast potatoes as they should be, crispy outside and fluffy inside, (not anemic as before) but the star for us was the Beef, no fat and nice and pink as beef should be, and what a team, the new landlady Leigh was more than welcoming and accommodating, the New chef Rich also took the time to introduce himself and have a chat.

Wasn’t too dry and delicious with the gravy. 😋 There were already sides on the plate and we had been given a generous serving of extra sides.

Nice country hotel. Didn’t dine there but breakfast was very good and room big enough (just) and comfortable. Loses a star for appaling smell from drains/sewage system wafting into the restaurant. The owner must be aware and presumably will fix it….
