The Bakers Arms in Winchester

Cannot say enough about this place, 9 of us (and a dog) visited for dinner last night and certainly weren’t disappointed, 9 clean plates meant obviously we were all of the same opinion! Lovely food, quick service and very friendly staff. Would highly recommend if you’re in the area!

The choice of roasts was amazing and all so well cooked and presented with a huge range of vegetables !! The staff and chef went out of their way to make sure our quirky needs were all met !! We were made to feel welcome and valued thank you

Quite pleasant visit. Waitress friendly. Baked Brie nice. Fish and chips ok. Crab miserable. I have to wonder if the chef is resting on their laurels and not tasting it just churning it out. I should have known better than to order crab on a quiet Monday in a sleepy village.

Noticed they were doing a tapas night so quickly booked and we were NOT disappointed! Three dishes each for £15, absolute steal, especially considering the quality and taste. Top tip is the giant cod goujons and the pork tapas, although loved the huge shards of sourdough bread with the hummus, too. Love this pub for its excellent food and service but would even more recommend the tapas!

What a shame. Booked a table in the morning for a lunch. We were seated( pointed to the table) as we arrived and told we would be served shortly. It wasn't shortly at all, it took forever. The main meal came and I asked what had happened to the complementary starters, I just got a blank face. We were asked if we wanted dessert,"YES". Well, we never saw anyone ever again. My daughter had to go and ask for the bill eventually. Staff were pleasant enough, just seemed gormless.

My brother, who is over from Australia, said that his Lamb Wellington, was the best meal he has had since being here! I adore my Caz, who was the Chef this evening and the Fish Pie was also buttery and cheesy and simply delicious! Just love coming in and seeing joyful Joseph running the place in lieu, as well as lovely, lovely Pippa behind the bar. Massive luck in your new job at New Place Hotel Pippa and all power to get your Events qualifications! Thank you all for a relaxed evening with perfect food! 🥘 m xxxx

I have been to this pub many times and is usually very good. Last night was different, it was very quiet and despite that the service was not good - needed reminding about orders, forgot cutlery etc. The food was really mediocre (normally much better) we had beef burger and a chicken burger. The menu didn't have our first choices available. The beef burger was really tough (dense) and the chicken burger was overcooked. I didn't discuss the burgers but I did talk to the only member of staff about the accompanying chips which were awful - cooked ok but covered with spice and ?paprika - none of that was mentioned on the menu -(yuk) I mentioned to the barman who apologised but missed the point. Such a shame - I paid and we didn't stay for pudding and coffee. Won't be going back on this showing

Went to the Bakers Arms for an evening meal with my husband. We ordered the fish & chips from a very limited menu. When it arrived it was almost inedible as both the fish and chips were so overcooked. The fish batter was overcooked and greasy and the chips almost black and hard. Very very disappointing as we had many delicious meals here in the past. It would seem that now the pub is for sale they are just not bothering with the food quality even though the prices are still high. We hope that whoever takes over that the food will be very good once again.

Great spot to stop for a drink & a bite. I only had a few sides, the potato puffs with Bree & cranberry sauce & sauteed green beans. Everything came out really fast and was packed full of flavor. I finished every last bite. Service was very friendly. I walked along the old railway path from Meonstoke to Droxford, and this was the perfect spot to stop for a snack & a gin.

An excellent pub with friendly staff and great beer.

The best pub lunch that we've had in years. The food was excellent and service superb. A log fire on a drab day provided the perfect ambiance. Great value for money.

Lovely meal. Food was very tasty and hot. Had the pie of the day. My husband had the Hampshire burger. Both enjoyed the whole meal.

Food not to my taste it's a personal thing

The best roast dinner I have ever had Lovely pub Great staff

We went for Mother’s Day 4.30 table booked , plates red hot but meals were not hot , whole meal tasted like it was warmed up , waiting staff were very apologetic but nobody from the management came over to apologise or speak to us maybe it was because we were later with our meal but on the whole not very satisfactory

Verily, mine recent sojourn to The Baker Arms in Droxford, Hampshire, hath been akin to a Shakespearean tragedy, fraught with misfortunes aplenty. Whilst partaking of mine repast, lo and behold! A single hair, like unto an unbidden guest, didst find its way into mine victuals, adding a most unexpected garnish to mine fare. Upon voicing mine displeasure, the tavern's denizens did promise recompense, yet their offering amounted to a mere 10% discount—a paltry sum scarcely worth the grievance. Furthermore, the olfactory assault from what seemed a septic tank in dire disarray did assail our senses, casting a foul pallor upon the merriment. Verily, 'twas an experience most memorable, albeit for reasons untoward.

Good value for money. Pleasant and unobtrusive service. Quality of food, good standard. Particularly liked the venison pie and my husband enjoyed his Sea Bass. Nice atmosphere and will come back to try another dish. Maybe next time I'll try something off the pudding menu.👍

Lovely little pub. Great food & service. Can't wait to return.

Great service. Best meal we've had in years.

Although there were lots of staff they didn’t quite manage to stay on top of the service. For example, we asked for dessert menus which never arrived so we asked for the bill and left instead. Food was good, not great. Lots of salad to bolster up the pork and beef starters. Nice Camembert starter though. Mains of crab thermidor… with skinny fries and more salad. Steak…. with skinny fries and…..salad!! Pie of the day was very good with fresh vegetables. Pleasant ambiance. Would return though.

Lovely cosy country pub. Enjoyed a family roast here, very good portion sizes. Quality was fantastic. Delicious mustard gravy. Gluten free options available. Staff were welcoming and friendly. Very popular on a Sunday. Best to book. Nice atmosphere. It was relaxing as we were not rushed at all which was nice as it was my birthday. Very enjoyable. Will come again.

Excellent food, great atmosphere and staff very attentive. Had steak and it was perfectly cooked. The Camembert starter was unreal and everything was perfect. A great end to our mini break

This pub is a hidden gem for a delicious Sunday roast! The quality is outstanding – it's like having a fantastic home-cooked meal. The flavors were amazing, the gravies were perfection, and the vegetable selection was top-notch. We'll definitely be returning soon. Service was very good and the pub ambiance was nice with an open fire.

The beef was superb and a great selection of vegetables. Best roast I have had out.

Excellent value for money and super tasty with the 2 course set menu.

First time for us at the Bakers Arms. Just before Christmas although we chose from the normal menu. Great atmosphere.Nice pub. Friendly staff. Good food. Good car parking.

Great food in a friendly, busy, clean and homely environment.

So, we were just looking for somewhere different to have lunch and my partner Simon came across this wonderful little gem. All we could say is Wow!! We sat by the fire for a bit of lunch on New Years Eve. Oh my goodness we were so well looked after. Bekka, the friendliest and most helpful of managers, couldn’t do enough for us. We had Joe, Carys and Amelia looking after us too. We both had the most delicious duck with red cabbage cooked in mulled wine (omg) with fondant potatoes and perfectly cooked veg, followed by apple and cranberry crumble and custard (yum) which we both shared. All washed down with exquisite wine and local beer… I cannot recommend this warming friendly restaurant enough but I don’t want to big it up too much otherwise we won’t be able to get booked in for the future!!!! We’ll definitely be back and be bringing our friends… Can’t wait!!! Thank you so much

Late lunch on Christmas Eve. Awesome and off the scale. This is one of the very best places to feel totally welcomed you will ever find. It’s just exquisite. Beautiful food, great service and very special people who care!! It’s awesome

Lovely place. Staff are friendly. Haven't eaten there yet. But, the food does look good.

This pub has a nice atmosphere had a good menu, but they need to be careful with staff and pricing. We ordered soups only because we just wanted starters and when the barman said do you want them as a main course we said yes them just one portion of chips to share. However, when the bill came instead of being charged £9 the price on the menu we were charged £18 each. It’s not uncommon to just order starters in a pub instead of a main course, but when the waiter says do you want them as a main course we don’t expect them to be double the price because they certainly weren’t double the size ! Probably the most expensive soup I’ve ever had in the world. We decided to let it pass while we were there because we didn’t want to get the young Barman in trouble and would’ve ended up in a long discussion. However, this does need to be addressed as if you’re going to charge a lot more than menu price you need to explain at the time

One of the few pubs to get food on a Monday

Food overall was fine. My soup was cold and I politely asked a lovely waitress if it could be warmed up. I had the soup brought back out to me by another member of staff. They made it clear not to touch the now ‘hot’ bowl and as they placed it down in front of me they sarcastically said 'you wanted it hot, now it's hot'. You'd expect soup to be hot anyways so l'm unsure why this request had rubbed them up the wrong way. Their attitude left a bitter taste in my mouth. Not to mention that we received the bill and were forgotten about, 25 mins later we managed to pay.

I try to avoid negative reviews since I'm not sure they're helpful, however I don't want others to have a similar experience at the Bakers Arms. We visited with family for the "award winning" Sunday lunch but it was a disaster from start to finish. Our table wasn't available at the time booked, once seated we waited 30 mins for someone to take our order (we had to chase them or else it would have been longer), another 30 minutes before our food was brought out then the meal itself consisted of tough beef, soggy Yorkshire pudding and a bizarre smorgasbord of largely unidentifiable pureed & diced vegetables. Other diners who had waited a similar amount of time for their food were told they had to leave before they were ready since their table was booked. I wish I'd paid more attention to the other similar reviews here rather than being blinded by a few 5* reviews. If you visit for a "pub lunch" then you might be satisfied, however if you're expecting quality gastropub food & great service you'll be hugely disappointed.

We booked in advance for my birthday lunch here, every member of our table of ten was blown away by the quality and finesse of both the service and the food. Presentation was beautiful, the drinks were crisp and clean and the pub was warm and friendly. Highly recommend this place, well worth traveling for!

Really cosy atmosphere, open fire perfect for an autumn day! Lovely food and friendly service.

To be frank, I stopped going out for Sunday pub roasts a long time ago.. partly because all that ever seemed to be on offer was pork, beef or lamb, (meats I don’t actually enjoy… not for any trendy reasons, I simply don’t like their tastes, alas), and I would never see my favourites of chicken or turkey roast ever on the menu, cuts of meat I greatly enjoy and can eat.. er, until the cows come home! The other reason was the fare I did opt for was often never really hot, always over-priced & usually leaving me disappointed and wishing I’d chosen a simple burger or fish & chips instead. But when two close friends invited me out to lunch this Sunday just passed, I jumped at the chance purely because it looked like being a lovely sunny day at the end of Autumn, I loved their company.. and they suggested a pub in the beautiful Meon Valley, a location I like very much. I was also very pleasantly surprised when we bowled up at The Bakers Arms in Droxford, a village pub I’ve driven past countless times without actually going in and had often wondered what it was like inside.. but when we pulled into the wee car park, it was rammed full.. oh I though,t this is going to be a long wait in an obviously popular pub…but no matter, I was on a rare day off.. so just go with the flow! As we trooped inside, indeed the pub was heaving, with a massive party at one central table in particular, but I was enjoying the day and so no problem…however we were immediately shown to our pre-booked table, (a nice wee alcove by the front door) and menus were proffered and my pal’s order for a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc very speedily taken. Seemingly just moments later, before I’d even had a chance to take in the lunch menu, some small warm breads arrived, followed immediately by the wine..(which turned out to be the most delicious New Zealand Sauvignon I think I’ve ever tasted.. bliss!)..and enjoying my first sips I looked down at the Sunday menu and oh joy, a rare sighting of my much-missed roast chicken on offer before my very eyes.. my day with my smashing friends was getting better..! Minutes later, with our orders placed, we sat back to enjoy the wine & our surroundings.. but holy moly! we had hardly started to chat when, despite the pub being flat-chat with other guests & diners, our 3 roasts arrived in what must have been the fastest table delivery I have ever experienced.. absolutely cracking! Not only that, when I looked down, what was set before me was the most attractive looking meal I have seen in years.. for served on a large, square plate was the most enticing, cordon-bleu-style chicken roast, (except this was not 'miniature' cordon-bleu fare designed for a skinny-Minnie model, but for a growing lad... who should not be growing any more..a generously portioned & superbly presented meal to be sure): Two large & very plump slices of roast chicken, a Yorkshire pudding the size of a small planet, the most enticing crispy roast potatoes, a beautiful selection of interesting looking vegetables….all served in the most stylish of manners.. a captivating image and I only wish I had taken a photo of it but my ‘phone was back in the office on charge, sadly! To say I was looking forward to diving into it it was something of an understatement.. so with my fingers crossed, in I went and I have to say that it was even better than it looked.. the meal was piping hot, the chicken delicious & cooked to perfection, the roast potatoes offered a crispy outer & a fluffy inside, the gravy was very flavour-some and the myriad vegetables were just the tastiest & perfectly presented combination I have enjoyed in many a long while. My two companions were also much taken by their meal choices, one a traditional beef and the other a combination of roast meats… (though I am sure I had picked the better option!), and the next half hour or so was, to use a hackneyed. (but in this case very apt) phrase, ‘a feast for my taste buds’.. absolute roast chicken perfection.. and the chat fell away as my concentration was focussed on this very generously portioned & sumptuous meal. Looking up from from time-to-time, I noticed all other diners were similarly enjoying their Sunday lunches, all very professionally served up by a young, enthusiastic, ultra-polite & very attentive serving team.. wonderful service, which all added to the joy of my rare free Sunday. Trying hard to make my lunch last longer than it should have been in a such a friendly happy & relaxed atmosphere, (despite the pub being absolutely full to the gunnels), sadly it was indeed soon time to leave ..with me happily recalling what it was like to feel the relaxing, well-fed afterglow of a superb Sunday roast as of days long gone… something I actually thought I wouldn’t experience again..! Then my day got even better for as I prepared to pay my share, my pals grinned and waved away my proffered card saying ‘lunch was on them’! My day was indeed complete.. but after such a wonderful dining experience I really cannot wait to get back to the Bakers Arms again to experience another similar Sunday afternoon .. with the next Sunday roast for my friends & I definitely being on me..! To be honest, I can’t recall using this many genuinely-offered superlatives in any of the myriad dining reviews I’ve previously penned for Trip Advisor, but in this summary they are most apposite and very well deserved.. ..... and so a massive, personal thanks to all of the team at The Bakers Arms (especially chef!) for providing my pals & I with such a fabulous Sunday lunch..!

Stopped off for what I thought would be a standard pub lunch, but it turned out to be so much more. The chief Kieran is serving up gourmet Michelin style food which is accompanied with amazing service. If you’re driving past or just generally hungry I would recommend trying.

The eight of us enjoyed a delicious lunch at The Baker's Arms this week- a treat after self-catering for a few days whilst staying nearby. The chicken pies were well-filled and very satisfying, and those who had the fish pie were equally impressed with the amount of fish. We were initially rather disappointed with the few vegetables that were served on our huge plates, but some cauliflower cheese arrived separately. Suffice it to say, only three of us had room for desserts! The crumble and custard was excellent.

Sunday roast was rather under whelming, the vegetables were over cooked & mushy, Yorkshire pudding was soggy. We were not offered any bread & olive oil ( maybe this has to be requested) ? Will not be returning.

Small village pub with a limited but tasty lunch menu.

Amazing starter at Bakers Arms.. thoroughly recommend Doreen's black pudding! Fish pie had plenty of salmon but slightly lacked that fishy flavour...Staff were fantastic as was the general atmosphere...Will definitely return to this pub for seasonal, fresh food.

We recently visited this restaurant to celebrate my wife's birthday, the waitress showed us to our table and handed us menu's, which were varied but not overly varied. The restaurant was busy and had a good atmosphere, our food arrived which was well presented and hot. Overall the staff were friendly, the service and food was very good. One thing we need notice a number of fellow diner's brought there dogs with them.

Having been here for lunch on several occasions and found it very good, we were so disappointed when we came for dinner with family to celebrate our Ruby Wedding, When the main course was served, they were only warm, one of us sent it back the others just decided to eat theirs even though the food was lukewarm. We were asked if we would like dessert, on ordering to be told that they didn't have the desserts we wanted so only 3 out of the 6 of us had dessert, why ask us if you didn't have any to offer. This was overall a disappointing evening which was a shame as previously our visits have been good. Sadly because of this I would now hesitate returning.

On arriving at the Baker's Arms, we were greeted by a very well mannered young man who was both friendly and helpful. As we were rather late, we feared that the chef might have finished for the day! Imagine our surprise, when he kindly agreed to cook our meal, which was absolutely delicious. In an age in which good service is hard to find, I highly recommend this establishment.

In an age when courtesy and good service can seem to be a thing of the past, I would like to highly recommend this establishment.

The Bakers Arms serves the best Sunday Roast I've ever eaten on the south coast. What makes it incredible is the three meats, served with three seperate gravies, and the seasonal veg. In fact, they serve 10 varieties of veg with every roast. Never have I ever had pumpkin and courgette with my roast, and it genuinely was the best addition ever. So much care, effort and attention has gone into prepping this roast. A lovely touch is also the free homemade bread at the start of the meal with butter and salt. Yum. We've been in all seasons and the crackling fire in the autumn and winter is just the absolute best. We have had other meals here too and they have all just been divine - beef brisket with pearl barley, and the Baker's Burger. Can't recommend this place enough.

Nice meal - I had vegan burger, wife had pie. Zero complaints.

Fantastic Sunday roast. Very busy but service was prompt food was very tasty. Adam looked after us checked back to make sure everything was good. Desserts home made and very tasty. Highly recommend.

We had a lovely supper for my birthday- it was a return visit and we were there as an excellent measured response to the previous issues Becca and her team were attentive and friendly - everything we had was delicious Thanks for the warm welcome and the excellent service

A little disappointed with the decor and atmosphere, not very welcoming or interesting, actually non existent! The girls did a good job serving and taking orders, although they obviously had limited experience. The food wasn't bad, but was totally uninspiring. A lot of.potential which is beìng wasted !

We were looking for a last minute destination for a family Sunday lunch to celebrate a birthday and with one diner Gluten Free/Coeliac. This pub was recommended on a Coeliac Facebook page and we weren't disappointed. Very friendly greeting and a good table. Lovely to be served bread before the roast (so many places have stopped this). Gluten free bread and oil was lovely. All the roast dinners were delicious with so many different vegetables. Nice crumble and ice cream for dessert.

Nice location and decent food. I really want to give it a higher mark. Unfortunately I'm not sure what happened with the service as we were forgotten about. First our food came out separately with our 4 year old's meal last. Our bread was left in the oven and never made it to our table. Then we had to head inside to find someone to order a desert after waiting for some time after eating our main. The final chuckle was when our coffees came out with sugar and milk but no 🥄. Had to go back in to find someone to pay. I think we were just unlucky on the day.

I really enjoyed my meal as usual, (roast chicken - was unreal). Will definitely be back shortly, great people and service!👍

'Mash potato pie?! ' - My partner and I had lunch there on 10 June. We were given a table right by the front door where it is adjacent to the main road and very noisy as the door was open. We asked the staff if we could move to a different table; she did agree, thank you. However, the table by the back door we moved to had bread crumbs on the table and spider web on the windows...As to the food, we both had starter and main; my partner's two dishes were ok; however, mine were both disasters. I ordered 'Homemade Chicken Liver Parfait' as starter which had extremely strong pungent raw garlic taste and I could not eat it at all. Not sure why chef put so much raw garlic in the parfait/pate? My main was the 'fish pie' which was on the special board and recommended by the owner; however, it came in a tiny bake-ware (as small as the palm of my hand) and underneath the mash potato and cheese topping, it only had two small pieces of salmon...that was it - was it a mash potato pie or fish pie? Very disappointed.

Excellent and very helpful, friendly staff. Very much a dog friendly establishment, with drinking bowls, treats and doggie ice cream. The establishment welcomes disabled wheelchair users, just need to request the ramp before hand but the staff will help with the ramp and assist with...

Been today for a lovely Sunday roast with our 2 Labradors. Bekka was amazingly friendly and helpful as both me and my husband are wheelchair users and old buildings can be a little challenging. We were all made to feel so welcome and the waitress...

Done fair food in a lovely pub. We had lunch and enjoyed it very much.

First time here and we had the Sunday roast (wellyi had the fish and chips but everyone else had the roast). Food was excellent and the service was better so it's a double thumps up from me :)

Menu very limited, but caters for vegan/veg.. their menu is just roast but in a varied option. No salads... In summer I think this could be beneficial? But the food was phenomenal 🤤. Had the asparagus tart... Oh my, very delish. The veggies were very tasty, cooked to perfection along with the crunchy roast Tatoes! Yorkies large 😬.

Lovely food and a good choice for everyone.

Our first visit but it won't be our last. The food was excellent, the service impeccable and the pub itself had a relaxed atmosphere and simple decor. We all ate something different but there was no criticism of any of the food. I have a...

Terrible choice of vegetarian Sunday roast. Literally just a veggie burger on the plate which tasted like raw minced meat. (The dog loved it though)

Excellent country village pub. Dog friendly and very welcoming. Staff were very accommodating and friendly 👍👍

Lovely and friendly staff. Really nice place and a warm welcome once you enter the pub.

Not as good a pre covid. White wine served warm, a cooler arrived later. Starters were good. Main courses left a lot to be desired. i.e Veg with Fish Pie was cold, and not identifiable as veg, more like a cold mashed grey leak-perhaps. Crab...

Such a lovely pub, great food and brilliant service, definitely be back!

A group of 6 of us had a delicious roast dinner here on Mother’s Day. The roast meats were very generous portions & enjoyed, as was the vegan roast they offer. They went above and beyond in providing our children a suitable meal also. The...

Food not up to the standard of pre - covid experiences. Soup and steak OK. Crab tasted terrible, trout was dry and tasteless and fish pie had sides that were cold potato, cold greens and a stodgy mess that was possibly leak. White wine was served warm. Staff were very nice.

5 star service, 5 star meal. Absolutely excellent. We were undecided where to go for lunch. Most pubs these days seem to have a generic menu. Not so at the Baker's Arms. We had the Bloody Mary oven baked Scallops for starters. These were excellent...

Nice pub, friendly staff but some of the food was a little overwhelming. The puff potato starters were a little bland and the burger for the main was over cooked as were the sausages. the pie however was very good as was the chocolate fondant....

Lovely little pub! Warm and welcoming atmosphere ! The food was lovely and the service was excellent!

Good freshly cooked food in a proper old fashion type friendly country pub

Lovely food. Attentive service. Very welcoming to dogs.

Cosy pub, with delicious homemade pub grub with finesse. We have a lovely, warm waitress who was attentive even on a very busy Saturday evening. I had the fish pie and my husband had the pie of the day which was venison. It is not cheap but certainly good value for how good the food is . Highly recommend this as a pub to dine in.

Went yesterday with family and friends to this homely Droxford pub, in the beautiful Meon Valley. Log fire, huge beams, plenty of space for dogs and babies. Not one person in our 11-strong party was disappointed. The piping-hot food was delicious and well-presented. Staff were attentive and clearly proud of their work. So they should be. Well worth a visit, but book ahead.

We visited The Bakers Arms for a family celebration. Service was excellent throughout. They have great food choices, and I definitely recommend the Potato Puffs to start! Open fire was a great addition for a winter visit!

Quite simply the best roast dinner around. Friendly staff, a nice location and great food all rolled into one package.

Only had a drink here but a nice pub. Did see food coming out looked very nice and read it has won awards. Staff very kind and helpful as we were told we could have the table for 45min but later came over and said we could stay as they had moved other tables. Also good size car park.

There is always a warm welcome from the staff and the open fire makes it feel so cosy. The Sunday lunch portions are HUGE and the range of veg served with the roast is superb. The desserts are delicious - I tried their rice pudding...

Came as a couple for an evening meal. Ordered two chestnut mushroom penne pasta in a creamy sauce with spinach & pine nuts and a side salad. The pasta dish was priced at £14.50 each. The pasta was not penne but fusili. No pine nuts....

Great menu, lovely atmosphere, I would thoroughly recommend this place. We came with 8 people, 3 generations and everyone was catered for!

Served wrong beer on first order .even worse second pint drew off a barrel that empty n off Surely bar staff can feel barrel going off when trying draw beer .

Lovely pub, great staff, brilliant food and a lovely pint of IPA.

Lovely service food had a few to many fruity flavours, bit tight on space for large parties

Lovely evening at the Bakers Arms, delicious food and really helpful friendly staff. Great local pub with a nice friendly relaxed atmosphere!

We ate here with a friend and would return in a heartbeat. Great food in a relaxed way

Last weekend we held our 'pre-Christmas party' at the Bakers and what a night it was! Bekka, the Manager, did an amazing job of ensuring a stress free evening. Even though it was a little early for Christmas festivities, she kindly offered to decorate the...

We were so impressed with our dinner at the bakers arms. The food was amazing and the service was just as good! Great homely feel to the pub as well. Definitely recommend

We have recently, as locals, been visiting this pub, usually just a couple of drinks and maybe a meal. The staff are generally lovely, however the manager really needs some further customer service training. We were having a pleasant early evening drink at an unreserved...

Found this lovely little pub. didn't have food but looked really nice and it was busy for food. Nice little areas to sit and chill, Staff friendly and welcoming atmosphere really nice. asked for a pint of Salem Red Ale got given Amber Ale the barman said it was the Red, partner drank that one but on second pint he had the Red Ale but was very cloudy to be told was end of barrel. I will say though it was still a lovely place, it is set in a beautiful place called Droxford just on the edge of Southampton and near Shirrel Heath, very dog friendly which is nice, Would go again and recommend its beautiful

Lovely staff, very helpful. Good food. Dogs allowed. Brilliant

A lovely, welcoming pub, with great food and staff. We enjoyed a roast and a dessert, plus a few local ales. Overall, we have a lovely time. Prompt, friendly services. Accommodating over our dogs. Would highly recommend.

Food was just fabulous - we enjoyed scallops and pigeon for starters, then crab thermidore and chicken pie (a proper pie, not just filling with a lid like you often find these days) followed by apple & strawberry crumble. All superb! Friendly and efficient service too - will definitely visit again.

Good food, good beer and good service! Definitely worth a visit.

Staggered by the paltry childs portion proffered for £7.50. After complaining we were initially offered more of the same, but then another staff member came over and said it should have come with a choice of chips or mash and veg. The price for the small dish of macaroni cheese on its own was reduced to £4.5. What added to our annoyance was that blame was apportioned to my 8 year old granddaughter for not specifying her side options choices. In all normal eating establishments the server would ask for the choice of side dishes or options you would like. Wholly unprofessional.
