Chilworth Arms in Test Valley

Staff were very welcoming. Spent a lovely evening with family. The food was delicious. A big thank you to Lucy who served us.

A first class meal with fantastic steak cooked by Harry. Excellent service from Cassidy and other staff. Well worth the price.

Visited for lunch, the team were excellent, our server Audra was very attentive, despite the restaurant being full. We will return and highly recommend a visit.

Nina looked after us very well 😀

Avoid Sunday lunch! We all had the roast. The potatoes were almost raw! They had clearly been parboiled then pushed around for a few minutes to put a bit of brown coloring on them. Meat was ok. Gravy tasty. Staff all lovely and helpful. You have to pay extra for veg other than what comes on the plate or in a tiny bowl of undercooked broccoli with overcooked cabbage and peas. Eaten there before and was nice. This time,

Our group all had a roast varying from beef, lamb, trio and nut roast and were all really impressed! Cauliflower cheese was so good too Service was great, big shout out to Erin! Thank you

Had a lovely Sunday lunch here, the decor is lovely having been recently refurbished. Food was delicious and service was quick.

We were looked after by Emma C! She was a lovely hostess. Food was great!

Marie was brilliant! Thank you x

Fabulous lunch, great place, great staff and friendly atmosphere. Cassidy looked after us so well. Thank you

Food was delicious and staff were amazing! We will definitely return, fantastic experience. Lucy was brilliant!

Always come here to catch up with friends . The place has had a nice refurb inside making it cosy and warm . Nice menu to suit all tastes and some specials also. The food is good and service prompt. We had a lovely waitress this visit , Cassidy , who was friendly and chatty and wanting to make sure we were happy with everything . Great to see at a time when service in hospitality is a bit hit and miss. One gripe I have is there is always too much stuff on the tables , lamp, fliers, menus, glasses, condiments , side plates etc- feels too overcrowded .Will be back soon .

Brilliant service from Erin, and great food as always! Thank you x

First class food and service - with thanks to our brilliant server Claudia. Refurb is stunning!

Fantastic lunch. Excellent food with friendly service. Rosie and the rest of the team were great!

The pub looks amazing after it's refurb, I live locally and use the venue quite often, I visited with a friend, we had racklette to share ,and a pizza which we shared as they are large , three drinks and a water , The bill between us was £70, I do feel it's a tad pricey, although the place was busy ,service was slow , didn't seem to be enough staff fir a Saturday night

Always a brilliant experience. Food is brilliant and always filling. Erin and the staff were very attentive to us, service was quick and with a smile. We return every other month and service is always amazing

Us girls have been coming here for a long while now! Always amazing food and atmosphere. Erin was the most amazing hostess and went above and beyond for us all

Marie is fantastic. So polite and lovely! Thank you for looking after us.

We had a very lovely meal as a table of 8 on Sunday, delicious food, fabulous drinks and great, friendly service from Emma!

We had previously dined at this lovely pub before the refurb and had a fantastic experience in the restaurant. A friend visited recently and told me there had been a gorgeous refurb so naturally I thought I would visit. We couldn’t get a sitting in the restaurant but booked online for the bar. We were told where to find the seat ( not shown to the table) , told to order from the bar and given the same menu as the restaurant. We chose our roasts and they arrived very quickly . Two belly pork and one chicken. They were placed in front of us with no knives and forks which I had to ask for. A dish of green veg came out and placed in front of us with no serving spoon. So I had to find the young man who had served us to ask for one. Sadly the pork belly we had both ordered had no crackling as advertised ( boo!!) and the side of cauliflower cheese we had ordered had no sauce on - just baked cauliflower with cheese baked on top. The chicken was dry but the gravy was delicious. The restaurant itself was very beautiful looking but we felt the roast itself wasn’t as good as when we had previously visited and to run out of crackling was very disappointing with no explanation. At no point did anyone check on us to see if we needed anything and to ask how the meal was going. I would recommend for drinks but sadly I won’t be returning for food.

What a great place, food, service and ambience all good. We will definitely be back we had a lovely Sunday early evening meal.

Lovely restaurant, second time going here and me and my partner had a roast dinner which was absolutely lovely. Only down fall was the pork belly which I assumed would be a big bit of meat but was just two small strips which I have never had when ordering pork belly so wouldn’t get that again. Had the trio of puddings which was amazing!!!

Lovely food and great service from Freya.

Sharing starters were really tasty. Mains were great apart from the burger which was overcooked!! Replacement was unfortunately no better 🤦🏻‍♂️ Amoretto coffee amazing!! Our sever Tahla was a credit to the company. She was attentive with an outgoing personality and handled our burger issue professionally with no fuss.

Had such a fab experience this evening, went out for a family members birthday, Penny was an outstanding member of staff, she was so lovely and attentive and our whole table really enjoyed her service and company. Looking forward to coming back soon

Myself and three friends went today for there soft launch. For the first day the new look and kitchen re-open the experience was great! Four of us went and starters and mains took a little over one hour. Food was lovely, well presented and the portions were huge. Manager James was lovely and kept us well informed about the kitchen being a little slow and apologised that tables had not turned quick enough so we were sat in bar, which was lovely decorated and cosy next to the warm fire which provided plenty of space to accommodate wheelchair. Only disappointing thing is there is no direct access from rear of pub to garden for wheelchair, which is a shame they did not ramp the rear during refit and there is no ramp to get into garden room apart from that there is good access in the whole bar and restaurant.

I had a lovely evening at the chilworth arms. The food was amazing and Kylie our waitress was incredible. Looking forward to coming back!

Sunday Roast is absolutely delicious

Good menu, good food, good service

A beautiful gem of a restaurant and bar. Staff make it a great experience and the food is just phenomenal 👌

My bartender the other day Jack was absolutely fantastic with his craft! His espresso martinis were top notch, is it that sweet… I guess so 🤷‍♀️

The Chilworth Arms is not the same, the food was dreadful , not cooked , food was cold for our family of 12, the service was extremely disappointing. The staff and kitchen are clearly not trained and other customers were complaining.

Excellent place to eat. Lovely people.

Great meal and great, friendly service from Rosie. The menu was well varied, and the food well cooked and presented. All six of us thoroughly enjoyed our meals.

Service excellent Food above excellent. The chef and all those cooking are top drawer

I was really impressed by the food and the service highly recommended and Claudia was a great host

The place looks great after its refurb. A good place to bring a date, your parents for dinner or chill to a band.

A great refurbishment and good beer...

Great food and 6 star service from Leo, who went out of his way to make our visit special

First visit after their extensive refurb. Food was outstanding.

What a lovely friendly restaurant. Food was fantastic and the staff were so friendly. Would recommend the Chilworth arms to anyone.

Erin served us and she made our joint birthdays very special. We even got “Happy Birthday” written on our dessert plates. Thank you so much.

Lovely Sunday roast. Also had starters, some of the best prawns and calamari we’ve ever had! Service was prompt and friendly. Will definitely be returning!

Jordan was fab. Polite, accommodating and very pleasant. Would come again just to see him! 😁

Friendly and attentive staff. Beautifully decorated restaurant and bar. Food was delicious. A lovely meal had by all thank you

We had a wonderful Sunday lunch for my Amun’s birthday. Service and food were amazing.

Excellent quality service and beautiful food.

Great food and beautiful decor inside the restaurant. Emma was a great waitress and made us feel well looked after!

We had the most wonderful meal and Erin looked after us superbly well. We've been coming to the Chilworth Arms for many years for family meet-ups. The recent makeover is very impressive - we were given a lovely table. We're looking forward very much to our next visit!

Amazing food, 10/10, really delicious! Staff were lovely, Atmosphere was really nice too! They played some great music!

Erin our waitress was lovely and friendly. Food was yummy and lovely atmosphere

Lovely family meal, lovely food, excellent service- family friendly. Lucy our server was brilliant!

Beautiful refurb and delicious food. The service was excellent from Erin and we had a wonderful time.

Brenda was the best, much better than Monica

Came here from the Chilworth Manor Hotel and we were pleasantly surprised. The food was generous and well-seasoned, and the menu offers a nice variety. Very attentive service from Noah who made the entire experience really lovely and memorable

Very tasty food and drinks, in a warm and relaxed environment.

Great meal and nice atmosphere. Nicky was great especially with advising about allergens.

Lovely meal with great service from Erin. We will be back.

Last minute birthday lunch at Chilworth Arms after the new refurbishment. First time coming and the interiors were beautiful. James was brilliant and all of the food and cocktails were delicious. Will definitely be returning especially in the summer!

Erin was brilliant.The food was Brilliant. Super place

James was lovely and friendly and the service and food were great!..looking forward to returning soon

Good home cooked food, good service, makes you feel welcome

Amazing steak sandwich. Perfect half way point for me and my friend, will definitely be back!

Food is good, but value for money has to be questioned. The creme brulee was very shallow in the dish. Staff are lovely and the re-decoration works well

Lovely food Cassidy the server was polite But very inexperienced. Time will improve I imagine

Emma was lovely and very polite. And provided to meet my individual requests :)

1st time eating here, great service by Rosie, and great food. We will be back again.

Food was so good and the service was even better! Rosie was so lovely and attentive😊 I highly recommend chilworth arms.

Very good food being served and very good service by Rosie. Will be sure to come back soon!! Thank you to rosie for the service

I booked a table for 4, when we arrived we were taken to our table. The server did apologise and said that there would be a little delay with the food order as they were fully booked. This was good to know, but not an issue as it allowed time to get to know my guests. The drinks order arrived and until the first course arrived we engaged in conversation, including expressing how impressed we all were with the revamp of the Chilworth Arms. When the food arrived it was well presented and of excellent quality. Everyone who dealt with my table were very professional and courteous. We ended up spending over two and a half hours drinking, eating and enjoying the company and environment.

Absolutely amazing service, atmosphere and menu. Something for everyone, whether a quiet drink or romantic meal for two or on a night when the band Ruby is playing and you want to dance your socks off! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Erin was our server, very friendly and smiley and attentive. Food was very good, quick service even though busy.

Thank you Rosie and james for looking after us! Food was insane!

Had a fabulous valentines meal! Food was superb and our waitress Erin was so polite, efficient and looked immaculate and was so precessional yet lovely and friendly! The perfect blend of great food and service! Thank you everyone for a wonderful evening xxx

Beautiful atmosphere, beautiful food, excellent service. Served by Jordan who was honestly fantastic and so patient with me while I pondered between 6 different dishes! Couldn't recommend highly enough!

Absolutely delicious! Food is always fantastic here!

Great meal - attentive service from Erin - thank you

Good food, nicely presented and excellent service by Erin

The renovated Chilworth arms looks lovely, just had to try it. Went last night and had the Caramelised banana blossom stew. Very disappointing, tiny portion of something that was tasteless, not cheap at £17.95. Confirmed to the Waitress and she said she would share with the Chef.. luckily finished the meal off with coffee and mini dessert which made up for a very disappointing main, homily the wrong choice. Great decor, friendly staff however

Visited today for an early Valentines lunch. Excellent food and service making it a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon. Will definitely be back. Thank you.

Really high quality food and a really pleasant place to eat. Our server, Lucy, was spot on.

Erin was lovely. Offered lots of optional extras, but without being pushy. Thank you Erin.

Erin was very pleasant, professional and helpful. We had a very nice ladies lunch, thank you

Lovely staff, great atmosphere, marvellously delicious food

Another amazing meal from the Chilworth Arms team - Great food, relaxing atmosphere and excellent service once again :) Love the new look of the decor following the recent refurbishment and think the garden now looks stylish and smart ! Looking forward to many more visits in the future and can thoroughly recommend for food or just a casual drink

Very over priced for food quantity. Tasty though

Great food and excellent service! Erin was incredibly attentive about my gluten intolerance too. Will definitely be going again!

Awesome dinner, our server Erin was 5*****, she made our evening spectacular <3

Lovely to see the upgrade. Rosie was amazing.

We just finished decorating this pub, it was a lovely experience and a challenge

We had a lovely impromptu dinner here last night. Tahla was fab, attentive, thoughtful and made our evening. Thanks also to the chef for accommodating the garlic allergy, even coming out to check we were happy. We will be back and can’t wait to be in the garden on a summers evening!

Just wow! I’ve been to the Chilworth Arms many times over the years (also under its various other names). Having been in for lunch just before Christmas I told my partner we should go for an evening meal so I booked it as birthday treat. My partner has never been, but we were both extremely happy with how the evening turned out! The decor in the ‘snug’ area as I called it was low level lighting and we sat next to the fire it was relaxing and very tranquil. The food was fantastic and the flavours were spot on. Service was brilliant too staff were friendly and attentive! Can’t fault anything and looking forward to going back soon.

Wonderful lunch, I can’t fault anything! The food was delicious, scallops for starter and lamb rump for main all cooked to perfection, succulent and full of flavour!

Wow! Amazing! Refurbishment is outstanding, a real modern, cosy and inviting feel! New menu was beyond delicious and our waitress, Tahla, was attentive and professional and is a huge asset to the team. Would totally recommend!

Very nice pub and friendly staff

Great comfortable experience for Sunday Lunch Lucy and all servers were efficient and catered to our needs

Excellent Sunday dinner and great service fr Noah!

We booked a table for 13 people, including six children, in the Pergola for a 21st birthday celebration. It was perfect. New decor is beautiful, food was good ( cauliflower cheese with the roast would be a welcome addition) and service was great. We were looked after very well by Emma and all had a lovely time. Thank-you, we will be back!

Noah was fab…. I think it was very busy so service was a little slow.
