Went back for a family birthday meal, Jack and Tristan looked after us today. Marvellous fresh cooked food. Faultless again.... one recommendation is the chairs were threadbare, embarrassing really...all else spot on....2022 Gorgeous meals all six, great beer and service all absolutely faultless with a particularly jovial atmosphere! Definitely a revisit planned! Curry, ham egg etc, bolognese, steak and kidney pie etc etc followed by desserts!!! 10/10

Went here last night for a meal out with my son and his mother, I ordered the burger which was £14 and it was awful. It was well over cooked, dry and tasted as if it had been grilled in some sort of vinegar. It was an extra £1.50 for 1 slice of anaemic bacon, the salad came on the side rather than on the burger, there was no sauce on the burger. Just not a great experience I took one bite and asked for a refund.The saving grace was that the front of house staff handled it very well and refunded me without question. I won’t be going here again.

Absolutely amazing! We had had our wedding reception at the Crofton at the start of August and it was fantastic! Mel and her team ensured everything went smoothly and she went above and beyond during the planning, set up and evening, it was perfect! Mel was super helpful in planning the running of things and ensured everything wet to plan. Everyone worked so hard on the evening to ensure everyone was happy, fed and watered (the food was also very good and very reasonable, the vegetarian selection was brilliant) thank you so much for helping us make our wedding reception so wonderful, we could have asked for more! 💕💕💕

We were a party of 6 , the sirloin steaks were as tough as old boots and the sweets were abysmal, cold apple and blackberry crumble and passion fruit tart that came out of a packet, this is a real review.I can’t believe the other I have been reading are.

I am leaving this review as the mother of the bride, my daughter’s reception was held at the Crofton. The communication with Mel has been outstanding. On the actual day of the wedding I could not fault Mel and her team, they set up the room exactly as they had been briefed. The food and timings of the evening were excellent and run with precision. No guest had to queue and wait to be served for drinks, this was on account of there being plenty of staff on duty. I would highly recommend the Crofton for any celebration.

I Went to the Crofton for lunch with my wife, son and my grandchildren for lunch. The children had the usual burger and chicken nuggets and we had Chicken with Barbecue Sauce x2 and a gluten free cottage pie. The gluten free pie was lovely, but the burger was dry and tasteless and the chicken nuggets didn't get eaten and the chicken BBQ was terrible, a small leg with more salad than I eat in a week. We don't normally complain, but given the price, you expect something edible. We were offered a sweet free on charge but the prospect didn't entice us. Needless to say, we won't be back.

Nestled in the village of Hill Head this huge venue has a lot to offer... Very large inside dining area and an abundance of outside seating / eating tables. The Crofton also has a huge function room with bar and skittle alley...(Photos) Louise was a fantastic host, very welcoming 🙂 The whole venue is bright and clean throughout and very tastefully decorated. It does looks stunning inside and out with its manicured gardens and smoking shelter. I had a very enjoyable visit... Thank you

Visit was at lunchtime, plenty of space for you to park, if you are driving. Parking for disabled and those with full mobility. Busy for lunch, but they do have a lot of tables to cater for the demand. Plenty of staff on hand to serve you, a wide selection of ale's and lager's, plus spirits, wine and soft drinks, tea or coffee. Reasonable prices for the drinks and the food. A good selection of food to choose from, for all tastes. Service was pretty quick, the food was hot when delivered to the table. Well worth a visit.

Our wedding reception held at The Crofton was a complete and utter success and alot of our guests said they've never been to such a lovely wedding and reception! Myself and my husband had the BEST day! Mel and her team looked after us from day one with great communication , help, advice and planning and our reception ran smoothly like clockwork. We found the room an ideal size for our guests of 50 people The food was marvellous and our guests (who are mostly foodies!) really enjoyed our wedding breakfast of home cooked tasty food with lots of choice and options for veggies and vegans . We chose the wedding package which was excellent value per head and included the room hire, use of sound system with our own music skittles, welcome fizz, wine with our main and toast fizz and a three course meal with very reasonable add ons for wedding buffet and welcome canapes (which were delicious I may add! ) also linens some decorations and bar staff! Mel and her team are clearly very experienced in hospitality and weddings as everything ran smoothly and to our wishes. We cannot thank The Crofton team enough for such a wonderful day ! Amazing well done !

Obviousy homemade, and you could sooo taste the Haddock, and a quality Cheddar. I did have this meal, in 'The Bar'. But you can have your meal, in a lovely restaurant section. The whole venue had a welcoming and homely atmosphere, comfortable, super clean throughout.if you decide to come here, I'm pretty sure, you will not be disappointed.

Lots of fun to be had in the skittles alley (book well in advance and must be a big group). Food has gone downhill and it was hit and miss before. Limited choices and average quality. Just basic pub grub. Oddly happy to provide any sauces we wanted (tartar, ketchup, mayo, etc.) but if you want gravy, they charge extra. Baffling.

Came for a family event in the function room which cost a lot for hire of hall and food. The bar was rarely manned and guests had to visit the main pub next door to get drinks. The food was very very budget. Obviously done on a show string to maximise their profits. All in all, I left feeling guilt that the host had spent money on it for us.

Awful experience. Waited at bar to order food when we arrived. Was early evening and not very busy. There were two staff members on. Eventually one noticed that we actually existed and said "be with you in a minute". She then went on a phone call and then went into the other bar to serve drinks. After 6 minutes of standing there we were just about to walk out when the other staff member noticed that we weren't invisible after all. We ordered food and drinks which did arrive in good time. However, the Liver & Bacon meal was burnt and not very nice at all. Nobody came to ask if our meals were alright. Afterwards we mentioned that one meal was burnt to the staff member who apologised, went to speak to the kitchen and returned to offer a free ice cream dessert. We said that we did not want any dessert. She then offered that we could share the free ice cream. We still said no. That was there final offer. We won't be going back. We told the B&B we were staying at not to recommend them to anyone else. We highly recommend The Red Lion in Stubbington.

My Wife and l rarely have the opportunity to Dine out. As locals we booked a table for 7:30. We both ordered the same meal from the Specials board ( Chicken breast Chips and Salad) It was very busy with customers eating so I was rather surprised our meals arrived within minutes. My Chips were undercooked my wife’s Chicken undercooked and the Salad basically thrown on the plate. I complained to the waitress who apologised and took both meals away only to say the Chef had informed her he had checked the temperature of the Chicken stating it was cooked. We were asked if we would like to choose another meal but decided not to. We were also offered a free sweet but again refused. No payment was taken for the food and we left very very disappointed and Hungry. We did not have the time to eat elsewhere as we needed to be home for our carer and Special needs Daughter. Alan Lewis
