Nosh in East Hampshire

What an amazing brunch! Food was divine. Atmosphere is friendly and welcoming. A touch expensive but worth it. We’ll be back again and again I’m sure.

I always try to visit nosh when I’m in Alton, the food is so tasty , fresh and just delicious, also served so beautifully. The service is great too and I always try to have a chat with the owner who is very friendly and I’m sure is very proud !

I had poached eggs on toast sourdough every day with to Valencia orange juices two lattes and this morning I had the most superb milkshake. This is the only establishment I have known which makes poop a milkshake with ice cream. It was absolutely scrumptious. Would highly recommend it. Claire

A superb little cafe producing simply delicious breakfast, lovely coffee and a warm welcome. Not much more to say than that. Highly recommended.

I had poached eggs on toast every day. The girls are fabulous at making my breakfast and making the coffee. Always a great experience! Thank you nosh

Drove a long way today, as they had pancakes on pancake day as a special. Unfortunately, and I suppose I should have asked, but they were American style and not actual UK pancakes. The accompanying chocolate sauce was just a tiny drizzle to decorate the plate. Meaning that sadly the pancakes were dry and difficult to eat. Please try them yourselves and then maybe change the dish to make them more palatable. It’s also worth mentioning that the young lady serving seemed to be having a bad day and couldn’t manage to crack a smile or seem remotely interested in the customers. It didn’t affect my visit directly but it’s helped me decide to look elsewhere for better food with good service and to write this review.

Absolutely fantastic food and service, very rare to find somewhere like this, if I had one criticism it would be that it was really cold in there but certainly wouldn’t put me off going again. Can’t wait to go back. I had the bacon naan bread dish but for some reason thought I just ordered a bacon roll so I was pleasantly surprised. This was class A food and I love the fact there’s a business out there doing everything right, not surprised they were busy. Definitely in the top 10 dishes I’ve ever had and I’ve been fortunate enough to go to some very nice places. 10 out of 10 from me!!👍

For the second time of visiting in the last few months, we arrived as a family of 6 at 1.45pm (having checked your website for opening times for food/kitchen which states the kitchen closes at 2.30pm), only to be told the kitchen was already closed and no food available apart from pizza. We did not want pizza and therefore unable to order lunch. We found the staff must unhelpful and when I advised that part of our family had travelled from Farnham to have lunch with us, we were told that the kitchen was closed and they didn't seem bothered at all. I suggested that they should amend their website to state that the kitchen closes earlier than 2.30pm but again staff not interested. All they kept saying was we could have pizza!! We are not intending to visit again in the future. Such a shame as this is a small local business and today would have benefitted from us ordering more than just a cup of coffee!!

We have just finished our takeaway pizzas and can honestly say they were absolutely delicious! The base was perfect and the toppings were exceptional. Without doubt, the best pizzas for miles around. Definitely recommend a visit or make sure you book in for a takeaway!

We are regulars here and keep returning for breakfast and lunch visits. Dog friendly with a separate area so you don't disturb the purely two-legged groups. Tasty imaginative food and regular specials. Decent coffee and stunning pastries. It's easy to miss as it's set back from the road but worth seeking out

Lovely restaurant, clean and welcoming, great food. We loved watching the pizzas being made while we had lunch. Lovely wine, too, and quick service. We'd definitely go back.

We arrived as a cycling group, 10 of us, the poor lady looked a bit panicked by how many of us there were but she needn’t have worried, it was fabulous. We all had coffee & a cake, it’s the best cup of coffee I’ve had in any cafe, a lovely large cup and delicious, the Bakewell tart was scrummy, my friends said their cakes were lovely too. We saw people having breakfast and that looked delicious. The service was lovely too. A great little cafe! Thank you for looking after us so well!

This is a lovely lovely place and I really enjoy coming here and the food. Unfortunately had a bad experience. Arranged to meet a friend for lunch on a Saturday. we checked the website for the menu and made a not that it states the kitchen closes at 2:30. We arranged to meet at 2:00 and both arrived a few minutes before 2. My friend arrived before me and they told her the kitchen was closing at 2. She explained the website states differently and can they wait for me to arrive (I was literally 30 seconds away). They were very strange about it and did not make any accommodation for us. You would think they could wait 1 minute for me to arrive and order especially as the website says the kitchen closes at 2:30. Luckily I arrived and I explained the website says food until 2:30 and they said we were wrong. If you look on website now it says 2:30. They acted like we were crazy for saying the website says kitchen open till 2:30. They made us rush to order without having time to look at the menu. Not the best experience. You’d think they could wait 2 minutes for us to look at the menu. Please update your website to say food finishes at 2 not 2:30 so people are not disappointed.

Benefits greatly from being the tallest dwarf in a daytime culinary desert - menu looks great, but execution is not up to the inventiveness of the plan, what we have tried generally can be categorised under bland or too sweet, with the honourable exceptions of the milkshakes which are good, the bacon baps which are both bland and too sweet, and the coffee which when presented in the espresso form is catastrophically sour. if you go there hungry and avoid the coffee this place is 'adequate' to 'OK'.

Changed my route home due to traffic and knowing I would like to stop en-route for something to eat. Nosh Cafe Bar was on the road and having driven past on many occasions, this time took the decision to stop and eat here. I have to say I was very impressed on all fronts. The cafe was clean and tidy, the staff were very polite and service was second to none. I opted for the Brunch Burger from the specials board and was not disappointed, this was absolutely banging! I can definitely say that I will be stopping by again!!

Just got home. Arrived about 9am and was sat inside, along the wall, 2nd table from shelves. Firstly when asked, they do not offer flavoured syrups for coffee. Secondly and more disappointedly, when they arrived both our breakfasts were barely warm. Our eggs were cold and so was my bacon. In addition, whilst the menu says “potato” it’s actually some type of potato bubble and squeak which was stone cold. My partners fruit tea was the warmest thing on the table. I was going to mention this to the Manager/Owner lady but when the table of 6 next to us sent theirs back, she was quite rude to them and when they were attempting to pay for their drinks, she sent them on their way and promptly and loudly protested about them to the staff in the kitchen for all customers inside to hear. Bad customer service and poor experience. I shall not return.

We had four early breakfasts in the cafe. The very friendly and attentive service and the quality of the food and ambience gets a well deserved 'excellent experience'. Next time we are in the area, we'll definitely be there again to try other meals.

Me and my mum stopped for lunch here whilst out on the motorbikes. We found a seat and we're offered menus and a pizza menu as it was a Saturday and our drink order was taken quickly. All the ladies serving and waitressing were very friendly. One lady took the time to have a lovely chat about the bikes. The service was quick and food delicious. Well done chef. We will be back.

Seriously the most delicious breakfast ever. Not your conventional bacon and eggs, bit sliced you a little. Each mouthful is full of flavour.

Recently moved into the area and this is on our doorstep. Have called in for a coffee, but Saturday was my first visit to dine. A friend and I had brunch - avocado and poached eggs on toast. It was absolutely delicious. Great buzzing environment, staff very friendly, service great. We’ll be back in a couple of weeks with some friends that are staying - can’t wait!

Went in . Very quiet cafe but wow. Very friendly staff. Very polite . Even if i did confuse the order . Amazing food great service . Very clean . Wish they was more local to me .

We often go to Nosh for a Saturday afternoon tea/coffee. Never disappointed in range of food, cakes, tea and coffee. Have always experienced great customer service. Tried out the wood fired pizzas on 13th January and really impressed. We had a fantastic meal, very reasonable price, excellent service and cannot recommend enough. This type of wholesome catering is a rare find and we're so lucky to have the cafe on our door-step. Local people - come and support this amazing cafe - it deserves a lot of love!

This is a “farm style cafe” (rather than a greasy spoon), and delivers 1st class service & quality food. We were a large party who had breakfast 2 consecutive mornings. Top notch food, coffee & service. Highly recommended.

The food seemed rather greasy and tasteless and the menu was just glorified breakfasts! There was absolutely no atmosphere, in fact everyone seemed rather glum. I won’t be back.

We visited whilst in the area on a recommendation and so pleased we did. Easily got a place to sit outside on a sunny Saturday and server came over straight away with menu and to take a drinks order. When she returned shortly with said...

Fabulous cafe bar - Super friendly service, fabulous food and with plenty of room - Well with going when they have the Pizza Oven fired up - The Pizzas are fantastic!

My first visit since pre Covid didn't disappoint, delicious food freshly prepared and friendly service. The gazebo area is a welcome addition.

Really lovely food from an extensive and really interesting menu. Service is excellent and the choice and freshness of food is simply great - so much more that anyone would expect from a ‘village cafe’ - top team!

Great food, great atmosphere and very friendly service. Highly recommended. Excellent for breakfast and lunch.

Lovely place to meet friends or family. We have also had their Pizzas which are as good as anything you will get in Italy.

I can't comment on the quality as 'table service' amounted to 'no service'. Very disappointing as it wasn't even overly busy.

I decided to ask Jude to lay on a birthday lunch for my husband's 60th birthday - wow what a fabulous lunch it was. Roast Beef or Roast Chicken for 30 people done to perfection with sticky toffee pudding for afters. Everyone was completely suprised...

It is always a pleasure to go to this cafe. The food is always superb and so is the coffee. We had a lovely pit stop there today. We would particularly like to mention Billy - he is always friendly and serves with a smile....

I am really tired of friends telling me they have discovered a hidden gem for food. Having enthused about this place, I was invited out to lunch. I cannot say how disappointing it was. This was a treat for my birthday, so I was really...

Yuk. Cold and drafty glorified caff. Over priced faffy fayre. It’s Turkish themed it would seem but nothing exciting on the menu apart from the lamb dish and only one left at 12.30 on a Thursday?! Why offer pizza with Turkey and Cranberry - sacrilege...

called in on the off chance for a coffee ,, the staff were very friendly and polite ,, we both ended up with a bowl of soup and warm bread ,,was very tasty and filling ,, we will be calling back again soon to try...

1st visit: Eggs Royal, I expected eggs with smoked salmon but I got tinned flaked salmon with a ‘smokey’ flavour - had no taste at all, very disappointing 2nd visit: Full breakfast. The sausage was just low quality, 1/2 a tomato, one mushroom, one egg,...

Just had a gorgeous lunch with a friend, great friendly service and good value for money. Always easy to park and its accessible. Menu is just the right size and lots of choice.

Interesting, imaginative food at modest prices. Anyone who can cook poached eggs so perfectly gets my vote immediately. The best baklava I have tasted outside of Istanbul. Friendly service and great crockery, the latter is a bit of an in joke but perfectly true. If...

I think I had the best Eggs Royale I have ever tasted! Good range of things for brunch and excellent service.

Lovely little place for a great coffee, I'm visiting from Madeira, and made my Aunt take me out fir coffee as that's what we do in Madeira... First time she has been and only lives round the corner, so I hope they will visit more...

Arranged to meet a girlfriend there for lunch . Ample parking available. Indoor seating in the actual cafe if you’re all from the same family/support bubble Different households can sit in temporary covered tent area ( lit & heated ) Good social distancing measures in...

Review on behalf of family member: breakfast with a local friend, main feedback relates to your Gluten Free options as advertised on TripAdvisor: charging £2.00 extra for Gluten Free Toast seems extreme considering you’ve already costed bread into the original meal and you provide 1...

Really love their veggie breakfast. Been here a few times, food is always excellent. It is hard with covid restrictions to have that normal cafe feel but they’re doing everything possible for everyone’s safety.

My daughter and I came yesterday for a treat after riding locally. I had taken her brother here a few weeks ago and he has raved so much about it that everyone in our household is keen to visit. Friendly staff. Great food with some...

Hard to do a full review as because of Covid restrictions they were not serving food. The coffee was good but the service was poor. We waited a long time to be served and on going inside to try and order we were told that...

Personally I can’t big this place up enough!! The food is excellent Different fresh and well cooked You get what you pay for in life and that’s certainly the case at nosh You will find cheaper You won’t find better, in my opinion, for cafe...

The menu choices are excellent and varied, all lovely fresh ingredients. We nipped in for lunch and had a most enjoyable afternoon

We noticed the sign for Nosh Cafe and. as there was not a restaurant at our local hotel for breakfast we followed the sign for a spot of breakfast. Nosh and Cafe you suspect a greasy spoon affair.. NO Way... a super "upmarket" eatery. Nice...

After finishing our food we were then asked if we would be much longer when our drinks weren’t yet finished and we wanted more tea... From who I believe was the manager as the only one not in uniform? We felt unwelcome and almost as...

It was such a nice surprise to find Nosh this week. A small and cosy food cafe bar that had a really interesting menu that made me want to try a number of the dishes. Will definitely have to go back. Great to see how...

Our first time here.My orange cake was absolutely delicious,would definitely have again.But my husband's coffee and walnut cake was very dry.The Earl Grey tea was ok but the fresh mint tea needed more mint even after being steeped for 10 minutes.Very pleasant staff

Every time we go we have consistently good food. Options for gluten and dairy free including the wonderful Jude's vegan ice cream! Breakfast served all day. Desperately need something like this in Alresford!

I love this place Especially for brunch great menu. On this occasion I went with a friend for a coffee and never before have I had cake but this changed when they had a yummy Jaffa cake that looked moist and delicious so I broke the rule of no cake and went for it. Best decision and best cake I’ve ever had! Thank you well worth the calories.

We come here quite regularly to have breakfast with a friend who lives nearby. It takes us an hour to get here and we think it's worth every mile. The coffee is excellent, the breakfast menu has a wide choice (from porridge to smashed avo, sausages made by the butcher along the way and good sourdough bread) and the food is top notch. We get there at 8 on the dot and our friend usually has an appointment close by at 9.30am and yet that hour and a half seems to travel slowly enough for us to have a relaxed, delicious and happy to start to the day. Highly recommended.

Met up with ex work colleagues for lunch. Very friendly staff, nice all day breakfast. Busy and obviously popular.

I’ve had several breakfasts here and they are always good, with ample portions of well cooked, high quality ingredients. There is a good variety on the standard menu together with some “ specials” on the blackboard. It’s sometimes quite noisy when busy, but always a nice atmosphere. I can thoroughly recommend a visit.

Sweet place and lovely location I appreciate fresh food cost more but feel this is a step too far for what it is Also felt staff had no customer service and seemed like we were a in the way rather than valued customers !

We were waiting to get onto the nearby steam train and thought that we would check out this cafe. It was a lovely surprise as they had a unique menu and with some tasty food! Definitely worth a visit if you are nearby.

You can still uncover places that surprise you and this is one of those. We styed cheaply in the Travelodge up the road and I found this on TRIP ADSVISOR around the corner.....great clean premises, quick and efficient service, imaginative menu and great coffee. We had brunch and were well impressed.

We had a absolutely delicious brunch filled with quality fresh ingredients. The atmosphere was relaxed & the staff members were extremely attentive and helpful. The coffee was outstanding as to was the yummy cake that accompanied it.

A great find. Breakfast choices are extensive. Good excellent. Busy, large, airy cafe. Staff polite and friendly. Had bubble, goats cheese, kale, mushrooms and full breakfast. Yum!!! Recommended.

I find some of the moany reviews on the last unreasonable; you pay for what you get and here you get reliable quality. The menu, service, ingredients, presentation and service are (in my opinion) second-to-none. There is, as another reviewer mentioned, more of a 'gastro feel'to the menu and due to that, and the quality in all areas listed above, we visit at least once a month. If we have visitors we can always guarantee that by taking them here they will be impressed and enjoy the fare. The coffee really is exceptional and beautifully prepared.

We attended a party on Saturday where NOSH had provided the catering. The food was excellent, beautifully presented and something for everyone. I have used them myself to cater for a party and High Recommend them, you wont be disappointed !

Mum and I called in for breakfast after staying in a hotel locally. My sister recommend it to us and I can see why.

We visit Nosh probably about once a month as we live locally. We go there for either breakfast or lunch. To call Nosh a cafe really doesn’t do it justice. More like a gastro cafe!! The food is always, and I mean always, first rate. The menu is unique to Nosh and whatever you choose will be a very special dish. Service is excellent, really can’t fault this place in any way.

Wife and I had a lovely breakfast here Monday the 2nd September.

We love visiting Nosh for brunch. The avocado and bacon on toast is absolutely delicious - I adore the harissa dressing.

£6 for a takeaway egg bap. (Wasn’t asked if I wanted one or two eggs in that until after I’d paid.)

Over half an hour for this to arrive, normally comes with tomato, costing over £8! Fine if you’re rich and on a diet. Despite living about a quarter of a mile away it’s to expensive for us.

Always great food and service, even when busy. Great breakfast/brunch menu, with quality food. Great coffee too.

5 of us needed lunch ahead of attending a wedding in an area we weren’t familiar with. After being disappointed with the menus of nearby pubs we searched for places to eat in the SatNav and this place came up.

We live locally and decided to nip in for lunch. The menu selection was large and varied. The Baguettes we had were stuffed with filling and nicely presented. Highly Recommended

Great breakfast... that says it all. Friendly cafe with a nice menu, good service, and some interesting items/gifts for sale from local artists. Well signposted from main road. Not open on the Sunday when we tried to return for a second breakfast ;o). We ended up at the local garden centre which was also good.

Such a lovely place! Sent here after trying Cassandra’s cup in chawton which was closed for the day.

We booked a table for 10.30 breakfast; we were early but not a problem because cafe was not crowded. Food was great and reasonably priced- staff were very helpful and friendly. Would do again.

We stopped by after a cycle ride starving. Ended up with 2 great flat white coffees and 2 granary baguettes. The staff were friendly and food excellent. Thank you

Wonderful food, kind staff, lovely atmosphere. So glad we happened to stop here on our drive through!

Popped in for late lunch on Saturday. The food was lovely but the poor service detracted from experience. Wasn’t made aware of main menu and had to chase drinks twice as were forgotten. Felt a bit chaotic. But was good when we eventually got it.

Stopped by for lunch and the food was delicious followed by an amazing homemade brownie. 5/5 Highly recommended and has free parking!

Stopped in to get a coffee. Didn't eat but the food looked lovely , coffee was good and really friendly and helpful staff.

We stopped here for a quick breakfast due to the good reviews that the cafe has received. We were very glad we did... three of us enjoyed a full breakfast, which was plentiful, used good local produce and very tasty. My son had pancakes and bacon - which was delicious, with the bacon crisped to perfection.

Really good friendly café. Home-made dishes, not run of the mill, affordable, good wheelchair access!

I have eaten here regularly and have never been disappointed. Amazing unusual breakfast or traditional . Lovely staff. Great cake. Can't wait to go back.

Had really tasty chicken, ham and avacado wrap, with homemade coleslaw. Also offer toasties, sandwiches, 3 soups, etc. Latte is excellent and cakes are truly scrumptious. Setting is a little cafe like with lots of square tables, but one or two sofas and soft chairs.

Great quality food, good selection of coffee and drinks too. They get their produce from the butcher's next door.

You can eat the yummiest food in the friendliest surrounds in this airy cafe. The breakfasts...no the cakes are my faves!!!

A perfect place to stop for lunch. A gem that could easily be missed. However great food awaits, with a friendly service. They even do smaller portions for children. A big thumbs up. Thank you xxx

We had the most amazing toastie and coffee here yesterday. Such a treat! Loved it! Thank you. Hope to be back soon. 5 stars.

Top quality products with an excellent service.... Great tasting food, well presented. Will be visiting again.

Came here with my partner before our journey back home. Lovely looking cafe with a warm welcome vibe inside.

My wife, son, daughter-in-law and myself had a late breakfast at the Nosh café. Three of us had the full Nosh breakfast while my daughter-in-law had the bacon and maple pancakes.

Nosh is only a couple of miles from my house and offers a great cafe with a lovely menu. Service from the team is always friendly and efficient. Food is always good and I don’t mind paying a little extra to support the local business. Defiantly recommend Nosh for an informal breakfast or lunch.

Stopped in for a quick lunch. Food was fine, exactly what you'd expect for a light lunch.

My boyfriend and I stumbled across this beautiful little cafe on our journey home from a weekend at the beach. We arrived around 3pm and were immediately greeted by what seemed to be the owner. She was extremely welcoming and was very understanding of my tricky dietary needs. I asked for a mixture of things off of the menu and she was more than happy to cater for me. Our food arrived quickly and it was absolutely GORGEOUS, not to mention how fresh and healthy it was. Thank you so much for having us, we will DEFINITELY be back.

The perfect place for yummy food.

Arranged to meet a friend and her son and arrived early, very pleasant staff and cafe close to The Watercress line. Lovely service and whilst we had lunch and it was very nice, it did seem a bit on the pricey side but perhaps I am more used to midland prices. Highlight was a ‘cabaret’ act of a very amusing guy making his own birthday bash catering arrangements and being totally ocd on his ‘portion control’ - it helped my waiting time fly by whilst stifling my laughter. Very nice place, will be more than happy to go again when passing, hope the cabaret is on again.

Food was nice: a little bit pricey for what you get! Most of the staff were lovely and were happy to recommend items/answer questions. However it did feel quite segregated in the sense that there were the regulars and then us. Obviously they know them so they would be closer but it felt as though we were out of place. Would probably go again.

Called in for lunch while waiting for our car to be cleaned near by. Fab burgers and homemade Slaw. Really tasty and the staff were friendly and service was good too. Really recommend. Safe area for dogs outside while you eat and s bowl of water for them too.

I found Nosh on a winter cycle ride. Excellent place, and very friendly. The croque madame was just what I needed to get me 30 miles home.
