Visited on recommendation of someone and liking the look of the place when walking past before. Sadly was disappointed with the visit. The menu online is a bit misleading as doesn't fully match the actual menu on offer. What we felt was disappointing was the value of the food. I had a quiche and husband had macaroni cheese, both for £15.75 each. For this relatively high cost for lunch we had expectations that weren't met. The macaroni cheese was barely more than starter/side dish size with ok bread, didn't feel great value for the cost. Same for the quiche, I'm not sure what made this almost £16. With a scone for my mum and 3 soft drinks it was almost £50 for lunch for 3. I did mention the disappointment with size of dish when asked by the server at the end but just got an uninterested 'I'll let them know'. I don't mind paying higher prices when it feels worth it but this unfortunately didn't.

Ate at 5pm on Saturday and it was amazing. Booked table lunchtime. Welcomed by name on arrival. Lovely warm place and we sat on the sofas. Food smelled heavenly and tasted even better. Smokey pizzas 🍕 with soft drinks. Served so hot🔥, fresh ingredients and tasted amazing. Elderflower bubbly drinks with ice. So clean and the staff respected that we were in full natter mode with little disturbance. None of the keep coming back asking how things are. Even the other diners were busily chatting but we were not aware or could tell you anything about them. We will be back for the whole starter, main and pudd but we needed a light meal to fit with our evening plans. Will definitely be going back. Some people were sat at the outside tables and they were clearly staying a while.

Great service too by one of the owners who explained the bill and other things they do in the evening - pizza nights etc. We had a little chat about Romsey too. Enjoyed being served by the good looking young man in there who had banter ;-) Will be returning soon.

Whether it's a visit for a quick coffee, brunch, lunch or an evening meal platter (highly recommended!) I always thoroughly enjoy the delicious locally sourced food and the fantastic owners and staff who are always friendly and chatty. A good selection of items are on the menu and a specials board with interesting and tasty meals. Thank you David and Simon and team for making Cork and Bean such a great place to visit.

Went into the cork and bean with my family and had a slice of their Oreo cake, I was quater of the way through eating it (it was quite dry) and then noticed spots of green mould on the bottom of it so it had clearly been out for a while. It got taken off the bill luckily however the waiter then proceeded to still offer that same Oreo cake to other customers after this when it was clearly mouldy and out of date - luckily they went for the lemon cake but who knows if that was mouldy too !

One of the best cream teas I have had in a long time! The fruit scone was lovely - crisp on the top, soft in the middle and somehow managing to avoid that cloying sensation you sometimes get with scones. Staff were friendly but I'm not sure the piped music did much to enhance the overall experience.

Visiting Romsey as prospective buyers in the area, and stopped in Cork and Bean as it was close by. The bar has a really great vibe and staff friendly. The decor is modern and trendy with a good quality menu (especially the wine). I ordered the club sandwich and my partner the quiche. We both had a glass of white wine (Picpoul & Gavi). The wine was spot on and the quiche was really delicious. The reason for the 4* instead of the 5* (it was 4.5 for us so could have gone either way) was because the club sandwich was perhaps a bit of a miss and the bill came to an eye watering £53. I love a good club sandwich but there were a few disappointing elements. The chicken was almost absent, soft and tasteless, a non-distinct egg mayo and an overpowering taste of tomato. Might have benefited from a few slices of avocado as well. No doubt had I had something else on the menu, it'd have landed a 5*, but on this experience just a touch short. We certainly will come back though.

We invited our clients to the Cork and Bean for a Christmas business event; and what a great choice! We were able to hire the space for the afternoon, into the event, and the ambience was perfect. The team took the time to understand our needs, and put together a phenomenal grazing table; with plenty of amazing food for our guests to enjoy. It wasn't just the food and ambience, but the customer experience too; pre event and during the event. They used their expertise to recommend the set-up, timings, and flow of the evening; and couldn't have been more attentive on the occasion. I would 100% recommend the Cork and Bean to any businesses that are looking to hold an intimate and impressive event.
