The Deers Hut in East Hampshire

Great venue with good outside space and inside dining. Menu is great with a good seasonal specials board. Staff are awesome and helpful. Definitely would go back if in the area again.

Excellent menu + specials board; spoilt for choice and all excellent!

Great Sunday lunch, friendly service, will be back!

Always a warm welcome ,clean and comfortable Engaging staff,nothing is a trouble. If you are a couple or a party always great food and an enjoyable experience.

Quaint freehold pub with excellent food. Ordered the ham which was excellent. My family ordered the slow braised beef feather which was also amazing. Service staff were professional, friendly and eager to please but probably a little inexperienced. We had to ask for water refill three times as they kept forgetting to bring a bottle refill over. Not a big deal, and having said this, I would still recommend this place and would gladly come back for another meal.

Great place for Sunday roast. Staff are amazing. Thank you for making mothers day extra special.

I love this pub but prices are getting too expensive to frequent it

Exceptionally good food, service was incredible. Will definitely be coming back. By far the best burger I’ve eaten.

What a fantastic find! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm smiles and a genuinely welcoming atmosphere. The service was absolutely top-notch—friendly, attentive, and full of personality, making us feel like regulars even on our first visit. The pub itself has a wonderful ambiance, a perfect blend of cozy charm and lively energy. The drinks were well-poured, the food was delicious, and the staff went above and beyond to ensure we had a great experience. A proper gem of a place, highly recommend for anyone looking for great service, a relaxed yet buzzing atmosphere, and a team that truly cares about their customers. We’ll definitely be back!

A fabulous celebration for my mum's 80th, the team at the Deers Hut were very accommodating and made us very welcome. The food was delicious and served promptly and accurately. A good wine selection at fair prices too. As a group of 18 diners, this can be a challenge. Thanks for helping us celebrate!

Came back to the Deers Hut to celebrate my husband's birthday we have been several times in the last few months. The meal was lovely as always. But we did feel we were almost forgotten once we had our main , and by the time anyone came back to ask us what we wanted for pudding we changed our mind and just had a coffee . Which we ended up ordering at the bar . I do appreciate being a Sunday they were busy . But we were definitely forgotten.

Very friendly staff. Great service and atmosphere. Dog friendly also. I would highly recommend.

Had a lovey afternoon. Best roast beef , veg , spuds , gravy all so yummy. Consistently good food and staff are lovely

What a find! So warm and welcoming. Food was great, the best Ham, egg and chips I have ever had!

I was expecting a lot better having only heard good things. I had the roast pork belly and while the meat was delightfully moist the crackling was almost unbreakable. Gravy was lacking too. We had to ask for more. It wasn't meat specific with. Just a general gravy for all meats. Lots of different veg on the plate but not enough of any of it. It wasn't bad but I've had better especially considering the good things heard. Maybe it was an off day. They did do us proud on the cake for my Son's 18th birthday.

Absolutely brilliant wonderful food and friendly staff 😊

Fantastic experience. Amazing food, brilliant service and a lovely atmosphere. Wow! Best Sunday roast we’ve ever had.

One of the best roasts we have had in a while. I had the nut roast and my partner had the beef. Both were delicious. The staff were really friendly and even though it was very busy we were never left waiting.

Excellent lunch, Hadn’t booked but managed to get a table with our 2 dogs. Good atmosphere, anlways welcoming annd dog friendly and although they were very busy both service and food were excellent. One of my favourite local pubs.

Excellent food really enjoyed my crab salad

My first visit, my wife has been here many years ago, the food at lunchtime was just great, beer battered cod and chips, we really enjoyed it!

The best fish and chips I’ve had in years. The girls that served us were very friendly, especially girl from New Zealand with the big smile

What a find!!! The most beautiful Sunday lunch. It was so good we went back for Monday lunch 😂

Lovely setting for a traditional pub/restaurant. The food was well presented and tasty. The price is a general cost to everyday eating out, and the burger Tuesday was a real winner. Will go back to try something different.

We had a beautiful Sunday lunch today & it was by far the best roast I've had in a while. Food was served hot & so generous with the meat, vegetables & potatoes. The staff were so attentive & efficient! We had our Vizsla dog with us & he was made a fuss of by everyone! Gorgeous pub! Cannot wait to visit again, thank you!

We came here last night and we absolutely loved it! We had the shared Camembert to start off with which was delicious! I then had the sausages and mash which was amazing as well. Such a lovely cosy pub to go too! Would definitely love to come back and recommend ☺️

Have just found this absolutely fabulous place. Great atmosphere, really helpful staff and a real treat to see some game on the menu. Highly recommended.

Great Friendly Country Pub Had a lovely meal with friends will be visiting again!

I very rarely write reviews however I felt I had to share our evening last night, we went for dinner here and it was absolutely fantastic. We had the game pie and the pumpkin risotto which was sensational. A beautiful pub with a lovely atmosphere and brilliant service. Can't praise highly enough .

Came here few months ago and Staff members was rude, first thing he said when I walked in was to take my hat off before even saying welcome, good job I was only asking to book a table but after that interaction I didn’t end up booking a table.

Great visit this Christmas period with great food and atmosphere - very nice pub!

We arrived without a table booking on a very busy Sunday, with 3 dogs in tow. They managed to offer us a lovely outdoor, heated seating area, so we could have lunch. Portion sizes were enormous (the dogs got the leftovers), food was delicious and served nice and hot. There was atleast 3 choices of meat on offer for the Sunday roast, along with a great choice of other mains. Typical gastro pub pricing, around £15-24 per main for adults. Whilst we were there 4 horse riders turned up for hot chocolate and chips, and the landlord bought carrots out for the horses. So definitely dog & horse friendly.

Lovely pub, great food and beer. Good staff, friendly and welcoming. Often pop in for a pint

Great staff and vibe, beautifully decorated for Xmas. For me, the Burger was very dry and would have benefitted from a softer "melted" cheese to give it some kind of moisture. That said, I'd visitvagin and try something else from the menu

When you book a table you don't expect to told you have to vacate your table at 4.30 when at 4.05 your still waiting for desserts , poor , the boss in a brightly coloured blazer was clearly on the ball but his staff not so ,

We enjoyed a pre wedding dinner this week for my daughter’s wedding. The food and service was 10 out of 10 - pre ordering really worked well. Could not fault anything about the whole night - thanks so much and would definitely recommend to all

Had a lovely lunch here during the week. Staff were very helpful and friendly, and they had good recommendations for the food menu. The atmosphere was lovely, super cosy with the fire going, would happily come back!

Fantastic food, service and ambience, dog and children friendly. Would definitely recommend this pub.

Lovely place great staff and excellent food

Always spot on for food & service !! We will be back soon. Thanks

Great chicken burger and chips. Will go back again. Good price too.

Really lovely meal with friends. Food was excellent. Chocolate pud was positively decadent.

Reliably perfect food, drinks and atmosphere every time. Every member of staff could not be more attentive, they truly go the extra mile so much so that we chose to have our wedding reception here. Jason and the team made every effort to make the day magical we could not have asked for more!!!! Thank you all - 🩷

A lovely pub, and excellent service.

It was lovely and clean , staff very friendly and lovely

I cannot fault the service here, the staff and so polite and helpful and the food was excellent

Lovely 1st visit to this pub. Would definitely recommend.

Nice cosy proper country pub. Although we had phoned earlier to make a reservation there seemed to be some confusion when we arrived. Drinks order took some time to arrive. The food was very good. The requested dessert menu never appeared so we paid up and left.

Great food. Typically fish and game specials. Lovely country pub atmosphere. Great team who run it!

Great food and very friendly staff and excellent service and looking forward to visiting again soon 😋

Nice menu with some specials, we had monkfish and the chicken pie. Lunchtime was busy, thought beers were a bit steep at £6.80 other than that, we would return.

Called in on the off chance for lunch on Tuesday. We were 30 miles from home and in need of refreshment..Very warm welcome by staff. Had a midday meal, the waitresses’ were friendly and helpful.The food was excellent. The toilets were clean and the washroom’s were “ sparkling.” Net result we booked the Christmas menu for later in November. We would recommend that you give it a try

Superb stop off for lunch! Can get busy, but always accommodate!

Just for drinks - a cute outside area. Cosy with blankets and heaters.

I had the pleasure of dining at this wonderful pub last night, and it truly is a hidden gem! The ambiance was absolutely charming—cozy and beautifully decorated, making it the perfect spot for a relaxed meal. The food was delicious, with every dish tasting fresh and well-prepared. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, adding to the overall welcoming vibe. I highly recommend this pub for anyone looking for a delightful dining experience. Can’t wait to return!

This quaint country pub first came to my attention after visiting old thorns country club on a freezing winters night. I fell in love with it immediately and it was a welcome respite from the icy cold outside at the time. We had impromptu food which we were lucky to get as this very popular spot always recommends booking ahead, but we were in luck and got a table in the corner to thaw out and relax. The staff were amazing - friendly, funny, helpful and efficient, and the food was high end pub food and delicious quality. They do great Xmas offers which I intend to try this year, and did I mention they are dog friendly, have roaring fires and have the cutest outside area with heated pods with sofas, blankets and the like. Highly recommended. Oh, and they have over a hundred different gins to try...

Had a great experience here again, great food, great service and a nice venue! Thanks!

Visited here on the 17th October. A wonderful experience through and through. I had the dhal and it was delicious. All the staff were attentive and well presented. The restaurant/ bar was very clean and welcoming. We will definitely return. Well Done ⭐️⭐️

The food is very delicious, the environment is beautiful, and the atmosphere is great. It is definitely worth going

A proper country pub. Had dinner last evening fab atmosphere, great service cracking food a really relaxing evening

Lovely place, friendly staff and dog friendly, everything we wanted and will go again

We had a wonderful dinner here 😋 staff are excellent and service. very accommodating on booking a table at last minute. Beautiful pub 👌 highly recommended.

I had a great meal here the other night everything came out correctly and within a good time frame all our special needs were met. I'll definitely be back and I highly recommend.

Ate here while on a golf weekend at Old Thorns, on the recommendation of a club member, and was not disappointed. The food was amazing and the service excellent, all the staff were very friendly. This is an independent pub doing things right!

What a fantastic meals 20 plus of us every meal came out hot and really great taste

Had a celebratory dinner for a friend’s 60th birthday on Saturday. Fantastic meal with great service. Recommended 👍

During our visit, together with my wife, to the Old Thornes in January 2024, we ate here twice. The food was delicious, the location was very cozy and the owner was very gallant, my wife was in a wheelchair and the owner was very helpful and very friendly. Satisfied guests from the Netherlands Nino and Ratna Bear

Booked the pub after it was recommended by the air bed and breakfast owner. I'd looked up the pub food online but when we arrived the menu looked nothing like online, I was expecting a traditional pub menu but sadly no sausages, traditional pies,only a choice of 2 burgers beef or chicken, very expensive fillet steak at £35. I had to settle for fish and chips, and vanilla cheese cake and sorbet severed on a hot plate.the pub was extremely loud big groups not ideal for a dating couple. I definitely wouldn't revisit here again..sadly.

Went here recently for dinner with a friend. I had my 10 month old son with me and from the start I was left standing, waiting to be seated, for a while with my baby in my arms. I didn't bring his buggy inside because I know it's tight on space inside and a buggy is awkward at a table. A member of staff then informed me they "don't do high chairs". What!? I can't be the only person who has ever brought a small child into this pub!? My son isn't old enough to sit in a normal chair or booth, but is far too mobile and wriggly to be held for the whole meal. I had to go back out to the car to bring the buggy in. Later on during the meal I needed to make up a bottle for my son. I always bring hot water with me for this, but it usually needs cooling down. I went to the bar to ask for some cold tap water, as our waitress hadn't been past in a while, but again I was left standing for a long time with babe in arms. In the end I gave up and my friend had to try to flag down our waitress. The food and drinks were delicious, but I was left with the feeling that my son/ families with small child aren't really welcome here. I won't be coming back until my son is a lot older or I'm child free for the night.

2 large glasses of Sauvignon Blanc and a packet of KP Dry roasted peanuts all for the bargain price of £25!! That is called exploitation Deers Hut. Just because you have the nicest pub garden in the local area doesn’t mean you have to totally rip the locals off. Not all of us have jobs in the City and tonnes of spare cash. You are taking the piss. I could have bought two very nice bottles of SB for £25. Buyers beware!!

Me and my partner Jordan are staying at the old thorn hotel and thought we would go for dinner at the dear hut. Didn't book a table but was approached by Lauren who was very friendly and quickly found us a table despite being very busy which was great. Through our visit it was lovely great food which was delicious and the lady who delt with us Lauren was very helpful. Would definitely recommend and come again if we stay in the area again. Charlotte and Jordan.

Enjoyable pub in the countryside. Lovely area. Relax in the open patio. Good selection of food, drinks, and great desserts.

Havn't been here for a while and we will be back sooner. Every coarse I would order again, but the many other choices would have to be tried. They venu was packed and I would advise booking to get a table.

Great place for food, lovely gardens first time there and we will absolutely return

Visited this pub for Sunday lunch with the family. The staff were very attentive but didn't seem to communicate much as they would often forget we ordered something or ask us the same question multiple times. The food portions were really hearty but I wouldn't say the tastiest. In fact, most courses were quite tasteless.

Great food always at reasonable prices

Well worth travelling for, one of th best pubs in Surrey. The food is great, the ambiance inside and outside is good, and the service is great. Bonus points for being really easy for people with allergies - a good menu showing allergens and a kitchen that takes them seriously while being really easy to order from. 10/10.

Heard mixed reviews, but thought this place was excellent. Staff reallt friendly and food was excellent (decent portion sizes too). Will return for sure!

The most excellent and efficient service we have received in a long time. Food was lovely and well presented. Staff were polite, friendly and attentive. Well done to everyone.

Me and my partner had been looking forward to our anniversary meal here for awhile. Had a nice drink in the beer garden first which was pleasant, afterwards it all went a bit downhill. We got put in a room off to the side, lacking atmosphere and after finishing our first round of drinks, we had to wait 30 minutes with the empty glasses on the end of the table. Servers were walking past constantly to tend to a group behind us, before I had to stop a server and politely had them our empty glasses after they were ignored. Bear in mind, we had ordered other drinks and they were still left until we asked and it was a quiet evening. The food then came out overcooked, which was disappointing for the price. My partner ate around 1/2 of hers and I ate less and then when asked if we could take the remaining 70% of our meals home, we were told we couldn’t which was really disappointing considering the price for overcooked food that we couldn’t even take home. We proceeded to have to wait 20 minutes after confirming we were done for the cheque which was irritating. Would not recommend as it turned an otherwise celebratory day into a bit of a downer. Disappointing really.

Popped in on Tuesday evening for a drink and a bite to eat - 2 for 1 Burger night and the place was packed with a great atmosphere! Thanks to Lauren and the hard working staff though for finding us a table and looking after us so well.

Out of the way place, but so so pretty esp the beer garden. Went for the chalk water trout was not disappointed & will be coming back again soon!. Unfortunately, it was a Monday & service was quite slow, hence the 4 stars. I'm going to go for a weekend brunch next time in the near future to see if service is different. Cocktails were great, too!. Would recommend & will go again. TO ADD been a few times since my initial review. They're recruiting if anyone's looking for a job. There were more staff, hence my rating going from 4-5. The food is delicious & I'm trying to work myself through it all. I had the venison pie of the day from the special's menu. Baking hot wholesome food just as I like it!. Great job guy's, be seeing you again soon!. Thank you 😊

Avoid Table 9. I do hate it when staff take advantage of an early arrival newbie party to allocate them the worst table. The table out of sight of the servers and right by the loos. Thanks for nothing guys. The food wasn't worth writing home about either. We won't be back.

Attended a wake here, very accommodating and food was excellent.

Fabulous pub with quality food. Really enjoyed the evening

Sadly let down by my Bavette steak, the Deer's Hut has always in the past been excellent. My steak was chewey and inedible but when mentioned, it was not charged. Full marks for service and understanding. The meals for the remaining 3 persons were acceptable but not exactly brilliant. Service was quick and courteous and the drinks were good. I considered it expensive for the quality of the food.

We absolutely love coming here! We had our wedding 8 years ago at The Old Thorns & this is the place we always go for food, lunch & dinner, we try at least once a year as we celebrate another Anniversary & we are always very warmly welcomed, staff are lovely, food is delicious & atmosphere is wonderful. This year our children surprised us with a voucher & we had it presented to us by the Manager in a lovely card with words our children wanted on it & we did notice we had little love hearts above our table too! Cute! Thank you for making our Anniversary so special & for all your hard work, you are always busy, but always all smiling! X

Lovely food and friendly staff, we'll be returning for sure!

We were very impressed with their menu for Gluten free . A really nice atmosphere & staff . A well recommended place to go .

Always a great experience. Lovely garden too.

Also excellent Wheelchair ♿️ Accessible Toilet facility. Had Lunch today food & service impeccable. Celebration of two Family Birthday's in August. Party of four including my PA. Venue organised Liphook Cars to take me home & Manager helped me out of Venue into Cab.

Gorgeous place with great food.

Had a capital W Wonderful experience at the Deers Hut. Just chatting and having a couple of stout with a few mates. Our server was simply delightful. Incredibly attentive to all of our needs while not taking away from our banter. Would recommend, though the manager, a rather large man a tad lacking in the hair department seemed incredibly rude towards younger members of his staff. Having said that, I will be back!!

As the sun set below the south downs, I lift a cool Inch’s cider to my lips. The calm ambiance of the Deers Hut makes me feel as safe as my mothers arms. The smooth rush of liquid heaven courses through my veins, I let out a warm sigh and smile, forever grateful to the Deers Hut for providing me such a beautiful experience. I begin to think of all those who will live and die to never experience the Deers Hut, and pity them, for it is all that is good and great in the world.

We had a off the cuff lunch at the deer hut. And what a great experience. Staff were super freindly and the food we had was top notch. We all had the ploughman's off the specials board, and I would say it's one of the best we have had. Price wise you could say its on the high side but I'd argue its worth it as the produce was outstanding and the price refects it. Well done deer hut.... well done

Great service and food for a large group of us, they did a great job taking care of all of our needs

Excellent Sunday lunch. As a group we tried all the roasts and enjoyed them all. Deserts were also great. Back for Sunday lunch again. It is very popular and was busy. Excellent food again. Great meat dishes, with lovely veg too. Back for a birthday meal. Again great food and drink. Nice variety of specials on the menu as well as the main menu. Also desserts are even better than before!

Bar staff need to smile and not look like it's an effort to serve!!

Lovely pub would highly recommend

Lovely family get together at The Deers Hut recently. Excellent food and great care was taken with regard to various food allergies by the friendly and efficient staff. Highly recommended!
