Chalkhill Blue in Test Valley

The restaurant was extremely busy with very few staff but they did an amazing job under difficult circumstances. Not a long wait for food either. Food was nice.

I had a meal at the chalkhill Andover restaurant today. Terrible atmosphere! Inedible food! No staff to be seen most of the time!

Lovely drinks all staff friendly and helpful

Thank you Lydia for hosting us this evening, the Chalkhill blue is always a lovely local place to have a meal. Really nice food and service. Thank you Lydia and team!

Visited the chalkhill blue before heading off for a day out had a mixed grill was cooked to perfection all the staff were freindly and welcoming

Great meal, lovely staff and brilliant atmosphere

I eat here regularly with my elderly mother and the staff are always very friendly and helpful and the food is excellent

I enjoying eating at Chalkhill Blue. The food is always of a very good standard and the staff are attentive and helpful. The decor and overall atmosphere is very relaxing and enjoyable.

My names Callum I love motorbikes

Hi I’m Jack, I love motorbikes and chalk hill blue host an amazing bike night that makes me really happy. Food is 10/10 especially the garlic bread! The owner Tracey is lovely and very accommodating! Highly recommend!

Cosy atmosphere with fresh food served promptly and friendly staff, nice and relaxing.

Enjoyed a lovely lunch with my wife. It's a cosy place. Has great food and drink.

Really nice food and really friendly welcomimg staff, We'll be visiting again, highly recommended

Tracy was so warm and friendly. I came in for a coffee ☕️ and charge the electric car outside. Tracy went above and beyond to make sure I was taken care of. Thank you Tracy!

Best wine great service, we will be back for sure

Loverly breakfast. Friendly, welcoming. Looking forward to our next visit

Excellent service. Nice roast; vegetables so so

We love this place and keep on coming back. The only negative point on our visit yesterday is that there were only 2 members of staff manning the bar and restaurant. By the time we were ready to leave we had to queue to pay the bill, the chef was seconded into a waiters role in his whites. I am guessing that this may have been down to sickness/attendance issues?

Had a lovely brekkie this morning.

Fantastic service Tracy was unbelievable as we're all the team will be back

Lydia was fantastic! Went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed!

Our server Lydia was absolutely amazing. We had someone in our party that had lots of allergies and was unsure of the puddings. Our server checked every single one and then double checked with us before we ordered. First class service.

We had a wonderful evening our waitress Lydia was so helpful I have an allergy she went out of her way to double check the puddings I could have. Would definitely recommend.

Our server lydia was absolutely amazing. She went out of her way to double check all of the puddings for a member of our party who had severe allergies. She done it all with a smile on her face and nothing was to much. First class service. Thank you lydia.

Came in for coffee and was warmly welcomed. Decided to stay for food. Excellent experience. Completely recommend for any occasion. Xx

Really friendly team and great atmosphere with lovely food

I love coming here, Tracey the manager especially is always so welcoming could not be happier everytime of coming here

No complaints, good value for money and discount vouchers available. Worth signing up to the app.

Modern, tastefully decorated establishment with plenty of parking. Varied menu with well cooked tasty food

Gammon steak with egg and pineapple lots of peas lovely nice size portions and hot food

Amazing dinner with my family. Highly recommend. Food was great, staff were all really friendly and attentive, lovely relaxed atmosphere, we will definitely be back!

The food is pretty good, above the average pub chain but below an independent destination pub. The service was amazing - thank you Lydia for your attention and patience.

Chalkhill blue staff was attentive and welcoming during my experience.

staff is extremely nice and welcoming, providing customers with quick service :)

Lovely staff and great place to eat :)

Brilliant place! People are lovely and food is great. Amazing atmosphere:)) Emily was a lovely waitress as well

Lovely hit Sunday Roast plenty of meat and vegetables will be back afain

We visited for Sunday lunch with our daughter and her partner and their two children. The service was excellent with very efficient staff waiting on us. The quality of the food for the price paid is excellent. Facilities are good, including the outside play area for kids. We would definitely eat here again. They also have two 50kW chargers for EVs that cater for Nissan and CCS.

Terrible food, plastic found in the vegetables. Drinks were flat, house wine was undrinkable

Been here a few.times and each time the food is always good, there's a good selection on the menu and all staff are always polite and friendly

Great service .Lydia very friendly and helpful

Excellent service from all very friendly and helpful staff especially by Tracey. Excellent food served within 10 minutes of ordering being going to Chalkhill Blue for 4 years now never had a bad meal great value plenty of room inside and outside to eat. Highly recommend 👍

A vast improvement on last time we were there. Food was brilliant, service was excellent & Lydia our waitress was brilliant Cant fault. Will be back

First visit here - a great meal with good service. Thank you

Really lovey restaurant, nice and clean and customer service is fab! Especially Lydia, such a pleasant server. Would come back due to her generosity!

Brilliant service and food, lovely family atmosphere. Lydia was very professional and great service

Good portions, friendly service & a lovely atmosphere.

I recently visited the Chalkhill blue in Andover for a birthday celebration. We were accommodated with full attention, birthday banners and cake brought out etc

Had a great lunch here with fast service and friendly staff

Enjoyable Halloween quiz and lovely desserts, will definitely return again, is a laugh and a good night out for family and friends

Stop off for a break coming back from Devon customer service was good loads of parking and disabled entrance 👍

Popular and good meal. Staff were attentive.

We arrived without a reservation and were quickly seated. The food arrived very promptly and was nicely presented. It was tasty and hot. Staff were friendly and efficient.

First visit to the Chalkhill Blue. A lovely spacious pub with a beer garden. A warm welcome on arrival and Covid restrictions clearly in place. Very good service and not a long wait for our food to arrive. A nice selection of options on the menu. Will definitely visit again in the future.

Lovely food. Excellent service by Christine.

Had my birthday lunch at Chalkhill Blue on Friday, we did have to wait for a while before our food arrived, but the staff apologised for the wait, and the food was delicious, the staff were lovely especially Lydia who was our waitress. We will definitely dine with you guys in the near future. Thank you for a lovely birthday.

Our first family Sunday lunch at Chalkhill Blue did not disapoint. Not only was the food well presented and delicious, the staff were attentive and helpful. Would recommend and we will return.

Hadn’t stopped here before, but will definitely to do so again. Good menu selection, Lydia our server was very helpful bringing us extra gravy for our pies. Food was hot and tasty. Great value for money.

Very relaxing Tracy look great dressed in her elf costume food was plentyful even my friend dog enjoyed her rump steak from dogs menu

Okay pub overall. Nice staff and atmosphere just let down by the food which was very overpriced for taste and quality.

Easy meal decent food great service

Lydia was so lovely from the time we walked in till the time we left. The food was delicous and we will definitely be back !

A great celebration graduation meal at Chalkhill Blue with family and friends. Lydia looked after our party splendidly. She also demonstrated a sharp focus on food allergy requirements. We were all impressed with Lydia's relaxed, though timely service. We would happily return to Chalkhill Blue as a result of our visit today.

Our waitress Christine, was very welcoming and friendly, also knowledgeable about food on menu

Food was very basic and sadly not well cooked. It certainly didn’t reflect the price we paid. I was very disappointed. Desert was tiny for over £7, The glasses and cutlery were really dirty. Whilst the waitresses were friendly service was very slow. I have been here before about 1 year ago and it’s sadly gone down hill. Dear manager: Please check the glasses behind the bar and also please don’t leave new bar staff to serve on their own as this firstly sets the whole evening off to a wrong start for the customer and also destroys staffs newly found confidence. We had to wait for ages to be served our drinks and the new bar tender was very inexperienced and told us she is sill learning and just started however the poor thing had been left on her own.

Firstly, Lydia our server was amazing, could not have done more, so big shout out to her. Food was top class, I had fish and chips and they were cooked to perfection and tasted even better! My wife had the scampi and was very impressed it was also cooked to perfection and she said it tasted awesome. The desert was filling and moreish. Also had a 30% off voucher, which to our surprise we can use again multiple times before a certain date. 10 out of 10 and would highly highly recommend

Food was good. Service was good.

Good food, basic menu but plentiful and good quality’

Family with a child who is Coeliac. The team have fantastic knowledge and understanding, and she is always pleased she can have a burger in a roll and chips! Not something we find in many places. The food was great, the roast was amazing! Nothing too much bother, very accommodating.. We’ll be back soon! Thank you!

A superb Sunday roast, served quickly with a good variety of accompanying vegetables. Very good value for money

Welcoming staff and good range of drinks and dishes. We were seated amongst a cluster of tables quite close together but did feel quite private nonetheless. Food hot and fresh. Would have had a dessert but theu were quite pricey, had coffee instead, only offer decaf instant.

Great food and service as usual. Lydia was amazing and very polite 😊.

We were a large party of 10, with adults and children. The service from Lydia was fantastic. We all enjoyed our food and were impressed with the speed of service.

Was made to feel welcome from the start and the service was amazing all the way through

Edit 13th October.. went back for a second time... Same great food... Kids enjoyed the play area outside.. The place was very nice, spacious and clean....Greeted at the door by a very pleasant fella who I believe was part of the kitchen staff... Self serve at the bar... Bar staff very pleasant... Food was nicely presented and tasted good.... Only one minor issue is that nobody came and cleared the table after the meal was finished, but I find this happens often in most restaurants these days... A place I'll go back to and highly recommend..

Been coming here for around 18 months never had a bad meal, staff are friendly and happy to help, restaurant always clean and food well priced. Chicken Tikka was exactly what I was craving 😋 Totally reccomend

Nice and busy all afternoon. good food (and 30%off) - winner! 👍

Service was extremely slow. Took 45 mins from arriving before main meal order was taken. Nobody came to check everything was ok with food or to take more drink orders. Empty glasses where all left on the table when more drinks were purchased which made the table overly cluttered and uncomfortable.

Lovely, cosy settings for our meal on Friday evening as we chose to dine here all the way from Exeter whilst visiting. Greeted with by a lovely host, who was friendly and attentive to our needs (didn't get her name tho, sorry!) We were offered table service or to order at the bar to which we chose the bar option freeing up hosts for other guests as we like to order food and drinks at our own pace. Starter was grilled camembert share plate, delicious onion relish and enough for the two of us. Along came the main course, the burger and the grilled kebabs with an extra helping of a kebab (eyes bigger than my belly) very flavoursome and definitely didn't scrimp on the halloumi in regards to the kebabs, absolutely spot on! My husband asked for dessert and wanted to get recommendations from staff to what their favourite was and the melting dime didn't disappoint him, plenty of caramel sauce! The cheesecake and cherry compote could have done with a bit more sauce as it wasn't enough to enjoy with every mouthful but the extra caramel sauce from the husbands dessert helped, and that's my only disappointment throughout the experience. Lovely to see the place still operating as well as it did back 12 nearly 13 years ago. We were one of the very few lucky people who got to visit the premises when they first opened up for a free dining experience and still just as good now as it was back then. We shall be back to visit again soon.

Enjoyed the food. Good service. Nice airy place to visit.

There were four of us dining here this evening. The food was very good and the service first class. In particular, Lydia was great. She was cheerful and polite and ensured we were happy with everything. I would recommend this place.

Had a table booked here for a family meal at 5pm for 4adults with 2 children, when we arrived around 15mins early we were seated in a far corner away from the only staff we could see. After 10mins of waiting for service we asked if we could move to another table where we would be seen by staff. We were rudely told no there was no other tables available, the pub had 95% of table unoccupied at this point. Appreciate there may be bookings later but these could have been swapped as they hadn’t arrived yet. We were assured more staff were due to start immediately and service wouldn’t be an issue. Another 5 minutes later a waitress, who came across as being inconvenienced by having to serve us came over. we asked if the music could be turned down as there was a speaker, the member of staff snapped back “I could but it will affect the whole area.” At this point we decided to leave and take our buisness elsewhere and will recommend others do the same. We had been warned earlier in the day service was slow but we decided to give the pub a chance, this was a mistake

Food took a while but staff were friendly and polite and helpful.

When you go in as a family of five, the first three meals come out cold, and then the next two come out hot!! “ Oh, it’s okay. We’ll Replace them “ What’s the point when the replacement meals take 25 minutes to come out to the table?? The whole point of a family meal is to eat as a family. Not even a sorry! Shocking food, shocking service! Should have known better, from a Marstons! We had already walked out of the White Hart hotel in Andover Town centre as the Carvery was dried up and not looking edible🫣😞

Great night out with work, staff were attentive, and the wait time for food and drink was quickc with the food quality being amazing. Shout out to Tracey doing a great job as manager on shift. Will visit again

I booked a farewell lunch for one of my colleagues. The food and service was great, especially as there were 15 of us and the rest of the restaurant was busy. Lydia was looking after our table and she did an excellent job all round. Thank you for making this occasion memorable.

Great atmosphere and fantastic service by Tracey

Great time at the chalkhill, great food, quick service, and shoutout to tracey on the bar, great with customers and wonderful person.

Tracey is fantastic, amazing service 👍

Lovely bite to eat, all the staff were super friendly. Food was delicious. Service was really quick. Highly recommend

Great service and food as always. Staff are always so friendly and never had a bad meal here!

Our waitress Lydia was certainly very attentive, polite ensuring all was good. To sum her up, outstanding a credit to your restaurant. Sirloin steak was very nice not mentioned in your menu check list below ?

Been going regularly and always have a nice meal. The staff are great and very attentive.

Another visit with lovely service, great food and good value.

My husband, I decided to come to the Chalkhill blue for dinner. Everyone that served us had a big smile on their face. Nothing was an issue. I’ve decided to have the steak for dinner which I really enjoyed and my husband had the steak and ale pie in which he enjoyed. Well done guys

Absolutely brilliant, 30 of us went for a meal, they were fast hot beautiful home cooked food, 100% will be going back.

Fab pub..staff are amazing.. food is delicious..highly reccomend

I had the children's roast, boy it was huge!

Lovely place, lovely staff. Food was brilliant! Would definitely recommend and will be visiting again. Thank you 😊

Lads night out. Lydia was our server and she made the evening. Attentive and good service, with lots of drinks. Reasonable food for the price paid
