First time for dinner at the Nook and Cranny, albeit we have lived local for many years. The Restaurant offers a Wednesday set Menu at Ā£25.00 a head, with a 4 course selection menu. My wife and I were very impressed with the quality of the food we ordered. The a la carte menu was also very eye-catching and affordable, with drinks and wines at reasonable prices. The Decor was pleasant as were the staff, who were warming and friendly. Our waiter joked that my choice of dessert (vanilla rice pudding) should be re-named school dinner rice. It was delicious. We will return with friends no doubt very shortly, It is an ideal summer venue, in the coastal heart of the lovely Hampshire countryside. Thank you Nook and Cranny, we will be seeing you again in the very near future.

Went to the Nook & Cranny for dinner with my wife and wow what a wonderful experience the food was amazing and the atmosphere was quaint with a touch of class. The staff were very friendly and helpful and a credit to the owners. We was visiting my family in the area from Kent so we canāt go there often but I can definitely recommend it and when Iām in the area again I will visit this lovely little gem of a restaurant/bar

Popped in Sat 16th Feb after a hike around the beach, great welcome, given a great table, ordred drinks, told to sut down and they were bought over, asked for lunch menu, afain bought over, went for penini's (Recommend the Sooked Salmon and Guacamole, Amazing) said it came with sakad and chips, well it certainly did, great portion fantastic quantity and for Ā£9.95. It wasn't busy and so nice to have a conversation and not have to shout, soft music in the background, No sky sports, no mtv, a " PROPER PUB", Yes I am over 60 so it was perfect. Thanks all, will be back .

We used to eat here regularly in the distant past but have only been back a couple of times since it changes ownership. We had a lovely meal each time we visited, the restaurant has more of an upbeat atmosphere these days and that works well. The only issue is that it is a long way from public transport.

We had an excellent meal at this restaurant on December 6th 2023. The staff were very friendly and the food excellent. I had the leak & cheese filo parcel which was delicious! Followed by the turkey, the meat was perfectly cooked, moist and good portion. It came with the best roast potatoes (not a hint of any veg in supermarket bags here!!) yummy stuffing, sausage and a delicious mix of veg including perfectly cooked sprouts. Plus an excellent gravy, no dribble of ju here but just the right amount! I chose the Xmas pudding which once again was the the right portion ( not a great lump!) I would certainly recommend this restaurant to family & friends and itās dog friendly too! If there was one tiny weeny thing , one friend would have liked a chocolate or something with coffee! Huge compliments to your chef.

Have been meaning to write a review for this fantastic, local and independently run restaurant for ages! Sunday lunches Have eaten these on many occasions here. Well priced, excellent food and fantastic, friendly & attentive service. Always a choice of roast too! Christmas Day Eaten here with the family for the past two years. A truly fantastic, stress free experience each time. Full Christmas menu & a speciality, complimentary buffet-style cheese table to die for! Table is booked for one (your) sitting only, so no rushing along to get you out like most places. Wednesday night is Dining night Dine here every 5/6 weeks for the Ā£25 4-course meal. Fantastic value for money and the food is always tasty and freshly cooked. 3 or 4 choices for each course. A thoroughly enjoyable night out with a partner or friends. Pre-Christmas Party Menu. The members of my 14 piece swing / big band enjoyed the pre-Christmas meal SO much last year, weāre going back again this year. Booked for 40 people maybe d-week in December. Full menu, several choices per course and reasonably priced with a full bar. Welcome, food & service is always excellent whether going for a snack, Sunday roast, evening dinner (Weds is brilliant), Christmas Party menu or the Full Christmas Day experience. Love the place š

Disappointing food. Having eaten here last year and had a good meal we were looking forward to a repeat performance. Sadly the main courses were so bad we hardly ate any of it. We enjoyed the bread and oil (although the olives were hard and tasteless) and the goats cheese and beetroot stack was fine. We then had chicken in a cream and mushroom sauce which came out in a sort of brown gravy with dauphinoise potato which was overcooked and overfull of nutmeg. The chicken was dry and clearly not freshly cooked. The other main was a tomato and basil risotto. It came without the basil and the manger offered to get some basil but by then the tasteless nature had put us both off. Strangely the manager did come and talk to us and was very nice and said she would talk to the kitchen but there was no question of offering any discount or maybe a pudding to cheer us! We are sad to make this review and it is our first bad one ever but the evening was spoilt. We are still hungry and whilst the cost of the food was reasonable it was not cheap. We hope that this review will help to improve things.
