The Farmers Home in Winchester

Great pub and restaurant, good garden for the kids, and dogs 🐶 permitted in the garden

A warm welcome and lovely food. It's a bit of a gem and drfibately worth a visit. We ordered lasagne and steak & kidney pudding. Both were large portions, homemade and absolutely delicious. We will come again when in the area.

We haven't been here for several years but today we were in the area so decided to give it a try and glad we did as it was wonderful with so many things on the menu and special board to choose from.Staff very friendly and professional food well propositioned and delicious 😋 we will be back 👍

Had a lovely Sunday roast, service and quality very good at a very reasonable price.

Lovely drinking pub, especially in the summer months . The garden is lovely for the children to play in and enjoy. Unfortunately the food is terrible and some staff members aren't very professional.

Terminamos aquí solo por suerte, ya que el restaurante del spa local en el que nos alojábamos era absolutamente terrible (Macdonald hotel Botley park) La cena fue genial 2 adultos y un niño menor de 10 años. Personal amable, menú generoso con especiales opcionales, también buena selección de cerveza y cervezas. La comida era muy buena y disfrutada por todos también a un precio muy justo, Si alguna vez de vuelta en la zona volveríamos al 100%

Encantador almuerzo gran servicio mi esposa tenía el salmón del menú yo tenía carne asada y todo el adorno más vino y postre todo por £ 58 gran relación calidad-precio Me gustó el hecho de que solo estábamos mi esposa y yo nos pusieron en una mesa para 4 así que un montón de espacio, especialmente ya que estaban bastante llenos un pub encantador con un montón de historia sin duda volveremos y recomendar a la familia y amigos

Acabamos de regresar del Hogar de Agricultores, donde tuvimos el velorio de mi padre. Muchas gracias al equipo que organizó. El buffet untado (tuvimos el buffet combinado) era absolutamente encantador - una gran selección y delicioso. La sala de actos era cálida y acogedora y todo funcionó sin problemas. Espero visitar de nuevo, en circunstancias más felices, y probar el menú principal.

Tuve el placer de comer aquí dos veces la semana pasada. Una vez con una amiga para un almuerzo y cena femenina en una noche con su marido. La comida en ambas ocasiones fue fabulosa, caliente y se entregó con una sonrisa de las camareras. No pude encontrar fallas en nada. Fantástica relación calidad-precio y volverá pronto. Bien hecho todos ustedes en The Farmers Home (agradecería si pudiera introducir un par de platos pequeños en el menú ya que no pude terminar ninguna de las comidas. ¡Eran enormes!

The food at the Farmers home is very good service very good my only criticism is you have to pay for everything separately ie if you order a Salmon all you’ll get is a piece of Salmon no veg no potatoes for £19 I expect a meal other than a piece of meat

Great atmosphere. Very friendly & accommodating. Dog walkers slso welcome. Proper country pub vibes

We have just been to dinner for my sons birthday and the food was brilliant. Great choices, freshly cooked and it tasted lovely. Definitely recommend to my friends and family

Had an absolute great meal this evening. The highlight was the fillet steak, but honestly could not fault any of the food.

Good Sunday lunch and no need to book if you're prepared to sit in the bar. Friendly staff.

Had a Boxing Day meal today excellent as always food is fantastic staff are so friendly and prices are good definatley going back thank you farmers home

The menu has some dishes from way-back-when but there is plenty of choice. The service is good and the food is freshly cooked and reliably so. The pub and restaurant has a nice warm and cosy atmosphere.

Pleasant relaxed atmosphere, excellent food, prices reasonable, service perhaps a little slow. Gave us more time to talk. Give it a go.

The service was lovely last night and the table and atmosphere was good as well. The food was good and reasonably priced, but not exceptional. This was our first visit and we would eat here again.

Very busy Saturday night village pub which is great to see

Gone down in my estimation very slow service over priced food for what is on offer used to be a great place to eat will not be recommending it no atmosphere ect ect

Booked the farmers home 3rd of November for lunch to celebrate our son and his girlfriend getting engaged .We had a lovely table overlooking the garden. Service was really good and the food was amazing, we will definitely be going back ,such good value too. Thanks for a memorable afternoon.

Lovely old traditional pub. Had dinner here and the food and service was brilliant. 3 real ales on, which I love. Locals pub very welcoming. We will return!

Visitado el viernes 4th para una comida familiar 14 personas la comida era deliciosa y el servicio excelente no puedo recomendar suficiente 5 estrellas

Myself and my partner booked out the back area of the pub in July for our wedding breakfast, Jo and team where amazing and nothing was too much for them. They did an amazing job with the decorations, the food was well portioned, hot, fresh and delicious. Not a single complaint out of the 36 people we fed.

So disappointed with the service we received yesterday. The gentleman with the beard serving us our food could not have been ruder. He even belittled a man at another table, simply for humming to himself. The food was excellent and lady that assisted with the serving of the food at our table was very pleasant. We have eaten at the pub regularly for years - family celebrations and gatherings, always had a very good experience. Yesterday was a total surprise and disappointment.

Cosy country pub with freshly made food nice selection of beer wine and spirits in a relaxed atmosphere

Nice local pub with good food, beer and large beer garden

We are nearby residents in the next village and have frequented here during the week many times. Recently we visited with family for Sunday Roast and today a week later we visited again with two friends also for Sunday Roast. 10/10 for friendliness, clean well run pub with comfy tables and for me top of the agenda a cracking pint. Always a good choice of Real Ales on tap. The Roasts are excellent, great value with or without desserts and the quantity is just right, not loads of cheaper cuts. Tasty and well presented. Service was good, worth a tip and definitely a return visit. I think a full carpark speaks volumes when it comes to assessing a pubs reputation. One highlight from the first visit was the care and attention given to allergy, for us vegan dairy free was a criticality for a family member and this was dealt with so well, the menu covered all our needs and we came and left totally unstressed. Plus 24 hrs of no reaction to her diet. You would be amazed despite so much bad press and sadness with allergy’s how many places seem to lack the interest in allergy consideration or pay just lip service. We were impressed with The Farmers Home, thank you so much. 👍

Myself and my partner visited today and were not disappointed. The food is fabulous, staff were polite. Best cheesy garlic bread ever! Would recommend the mixed grill, lovely selection of meats. Will be visiting again soon, thank you!!

A sad occasion led us to the Farmers Home - being in the village close to the Wessex Vale Crematorium the pub provides for Wakes - or as we in Scotland would say Purveys. The pub is located in a small rural village with car park to rear - very traditional, a friendly welcome and arrangements had been catered for - very simple spread - sandwiches, flan, chips , excellent sausage roll, and some cake - well presented and tasty. Service was caring and professional. The pub was comfortable with sun soaked garden area. Looking at the menu we will return on happier occasion to experience a full meal. Thank You.

We found the food here great value for money, the locals made it a lively evening too.

Visited on the bank holiday, mid afternoon. Went to the bar and asked if they were still doing food? Was told yes by the landlord/managerial in a sort of friendly manner. Got a table in the dining area all good. Ordered two meals, and both arrived in a timely manner. Both are excellent in taste and reasonable size! Couldn't fault the young staff. The pub is a little gem, even though tucked away a tad. This place makes some of those so-called foodie New Forest country pubs to shame. Well, it's worth a visit.

Good place with a medium level food

Probably won’t be coming here again. Found a piece of glass in my sandwich, which I was sharing with my 9 month old daughter, luckily realised and told a member of staff who really wasn’t that phased and just asked if I wanted another sandwich and that she’d take it off the bill. A piece of glass in food is a hazard and I’d certainly show more concern. My grandad had pork belly which was rubbery too. Service very slow too.

Had a table booked for a family celebration, table all set up nicely, service was good and the food was excellent. Staff were helpful and polite. Service all round was good. A nice size garden for children and dogs.

Good food lovely staff great setting

An old style country pub, lovely interior, atmosphere, and with a local produce menu with wide choice. Have visited a few times over last few years, on special occasions.

Perfect... 10/10 and couldn't fault the food, staff or service - even if there was a struggle with the cream for the liqueur coffee at the end... good times!! Thanks for everything

Wonderful food, great service. Lovely atmosphere. Garden area clean and safe for children.

Lovely little pub for a drink in the garden

Lovely old-fashioned country pub, table service was friendly and efficient, food good, and there's a lot of brilliant climbing frames and swings in a nice big garden to keep the small folk happy.

Lovely 'proper' pub in the countryside. Lots of space in car park and garden so doesn't feel at all cramped even though it was busy. Friendly staff and good food, with good vegan options.

Slightly understaffed but the 2 girls behind the bar worked their socks off. I didn't eat so cannot comment on the food

Fancied a Ploughman's Lunch and it was on the menu. Both ordered one, sat in the garden, quick service although we were the only patrons at the time. Looked really nice, but was so disappointed. The basics of having fresh bread is a must! Ours was not fresh, and having hard butter patties didn't help it. The pork pie was tasteless. Not sure how such a simple lunch could be so disappointing. Really surprised, as I've always rated the food at The Farmers Home Durley.

As soon as we turned up we noticed the location is very clean and tidy Service was amazing. Very friendly gentleman served us. Big smile on his face with a very understanding nature. Food taken a little while to arrive at our table but what we were given was nice, tasty and good amount given. All in all it was a 9.5 out of 10 worth every second

Able to sit in the garden. Good select of food and drink. Service for myself was fine but my husband and brother in law had a completely different experience when they went in about 45mins later. After that we decided to finish are drinks and leave.

Went on the swing for a laugh 😃 but I've only gone and got a stupidly placed metal hook clanged around my head, which I now have to go to a&e for the food was awfully aswell

Visited this wonderful traditional English pub for lunch. The ploughman's lunch and the side plate of pate with bread was absolutely amazing so so yummy. The menu has so many varieties and very reasonable prices. The garden area out the back was huge with tables and swings and playset for the children to entertain themselves. I highly recommend this place and cannot wait to return.

Just had a lovely lunch here! Very good range of traditional English pub grub. Be it for a light lunch/snack to the full menu. We had the mixed grill and felt it was very good value, the desserts were yummy,highly recommend this pub and we shall visit again. Speedy service and nice to see it so busy. Thank you

Had a great dinner, staff were lovely. Will definitely visit again 😃

Lovely beer garden. Great place for families to sit out in the sunshine and enjoy the garden area. Unfortunately, the kids burger that we ordered was burnt and overcooked.

The food was fine, but the man and the lady are very rude. The man didn't smile once. He needs to change his job or get some customer service skills !! 🙄 When the lady brought out my food, she asked to give me the plate, because she couldnt be bothered to reach over and told me " the plates hot " I took the plate and it literally was BOILING!! she didn't apologise, she just said " I told you it was hot " . Doesn't excuse the fact that it will still burn me. Ridiculous. And rude.

Lovely pub and lovely staff the food was great

Staff went above and beyond for our wake today x

Great tradional British pub grub. We didn't book but they found us a table in back room, really busy. Always a good sign. We were staying at The Oakes and walked round.

We went to the Farmers Home for my Mums wake. The service was excellent, very efficient and the buffet was outstanding (especially the sausage rolls) a mix of hot and cold food. The pub itself is lovely with a really nice garden.

Been here twice in 2 weeks. Once for my nans Wake. Short haired staff lady (maybe a manager) was rude. (Luckily there was a blonde lady too who was quite nice). We were made to feel we were an inconvenience when we moved out of the wake area and into the food area (we only had 2 hours for the wake). She rolled her eyes at her colleague when she saw we were all sat taking up a few too many tables for her liking even though it wasn’t busy. Went again recently for dinner and again, staff not the best. 2 waitresses were lovely but the higher up staff seemed a little rude. Was also a little shocked to see we were charged £1.50 for peas on the bill after we asked for some because the Gammon was literally, Gammon and chips. On the way out we said bye to the staff and thank you, but after they saw we didn’t leave a tip, the goodbye was extremely blunt. Between the wake and the second visit, we’ve spent over £600. The only good thing we can point out, is their deserts are very nice. Has put us off.

Lovely local pub. Unfortunately, the chap at the bar is very rude, unwelcoming, and with poor customer skills. Puts you off from coming back. Shame!

Note to bar staff here: If you treat customers like they are the enemy they won't come back. Miserable & unnecessarily rude staff. Such a shame because this could be a nice pub.

Great service, nice cider, reasonable prices 2 courses for £16.50, roast and dessert A really good garden as well, child and dog friendly 😁 Update still a great pint and garden 😁😁 And now with Henry Weston's on tap, a really great pint of cider👌🏻 Had a roast here today (Feb 24) with a big group of friends. Great dinner and dessert Well worth it 😋

We went to this charming, country pub for a funeral tea. The food was delicious and the staff were brilliant. Everything was ready when we arrived and the food came promptly.

Service was really good considering we were a large party

A rarity! A pub with an actual pub area not all restaurant space as so many are these days. We enjoyed beer and chips in the cosy bar area. We had a warm welcome in more ways than one as there was a lovely roaring fire in the wood burner when we were there. And as other reviewers have said there's a nice beer garden for when the weather is warmer. Based on this visit I'm sure we will be back for a drink and a proper meal in the not too distant future. Wish it was our local!

A lovely family run pub with terrific staff who are not overbearing and focused on great quality food at reasonable prices in a traditional setting with a large carpark and proper beer garden. We love it!

Lovely food, great friendly staff. Highly reccommended

Lovely pub... nice food, good beer, dig friendly... what more do you need?!

Best ribeye steak in area, service couldn't be better, really friendly atmosphere

We took our daughter to the farmers home for her birthday. Dinner was fantastic. Nice portions and food was delicious. We were welcomed by lovely staff and the service was excellent. We live near Durley and we all said why haven’t we come back here before now? Last time was 2 years ago! We definitely are going back because the whole evening was so lovely.

Highly recommend. Just had a lovely tasty meal with very good service.

Really enjoyed our evening, food and service superb.

The food was absolutely delicious, would highly recommend and we will definitely be back! The bar staff were really friendly and helpful. Lovely pub!

We were so surprised to read negative reviews of this great pub. Our experience today was so different. The atmosphere in the pub was relaxed, friendly and welcoming. A huge plus, in our opinion, was that there were NO DOGS allowed (HOORAY!) in the restaurant. The staff were efficient and really nice people. The food well presented, fresh and very tasty. Thank you so much. We will be returning.

Good food. Pleasant staff. Service quicker than other pubs.

Excellent service provided for a wake. It was noted that there was not any phone coverage but this was great for encouraging conversation with no phone distraction.

Disappointing. Vegetarian and Meat lasagne with veg ordered as a side dish. Lasagne sauce tasted like tomato puree, the worst I've had for years. Veg portion paltry and badly cooked.

Hi we had a wonderful meal here on Thursday! My mother and I are gluten free and we were so pleased with the choice of meals for us on the menu. All of it was lovely will def book again! Thank you.

Lovely but book especially on a Sunday

Very nice Restaurant, with a nice ambiente. The food was delicius.

Had Sunday roast great value and the perfect meal , with very good service cannot fault managed to get booked in on a very busy day , it was great to see the quality did not drop

Great little find. Super friendly staff and great selection of food and very reasonable.

The food is absolutely amazing. Friendly staff x

Meat was boil in the bag and ser ice was appalling

Delicious home made food and lovely staff

What a wonderful evening with my family. For a 'pub' type arrangement a good selection of red wines and really good freshly prepared meals, great flavours and friendly staff. Very much enjoyed this non hurried relaxing dinner. Thanks for a job well done!

Was very disappointed, we booked a table for 3.15 do wasn't overly busy but service very slow and good very average.

Service was quite poor and food average.

Disappointing visit My husband and I dropped by for Sunday lunch, I ordered pork loin and my husband the mixed grill The pork was as tough as old boots and brandy sauce tasteless.

Food was very tasty and we enjoyed it after a long time of not coming here. However, there were lots of flies flying around the dining area and circling in the walkways which put us off our food, especially when they kept landing on us! Also, it would be nice to dust the decorations on the wall as they were full or cobwebs and spiders! Would come back but not in a rush at the moment.

The food was terrible. Expensive prices for such poor quality food. Such a shame. Also, My mother is in a wheelchair and the wheelchair access is non existent.

Very good nice staff good food 8

Nice food, nice location, nice people. Specials board with great options.

Lovely area and garden, staff nice and helpful but would not rate the food. My boyfriends chips come out cold and when we said to the waitress instead of fresh ones being made they just reheated them so we’re soggy. Farmers grill nothing special and my chicken was really dry.

Great traditional country pub. Highly recommended.

Typical English pub and grub, after being out of the UK for so long, service from all the ladies was amazing, food was excellent especially vegan roast dinner.

It's our walk at end of the week pub for a pint with friends. Always the perfect entrée to the weekend. Good choice of ales but I do like the Shipyard

Farmers home is a local for us and we visit 3 or 4 times a year. I require gluten free and their menu is clearly marked and staff helpful. The fries are cooked in a separate fryer so there is a little wait but no complaints here! Better safe than sorry. When I was suffering with reactions to unknown allergies the team here helped me by informing me of every ingredient in my chosen dish. They went above and beyond to help. We’ll be back again soon!

In a word fantastic. I would highly recommend

Lovely place to have a nice meal, food was amazing and the staff were excellent. It was my cousins surprise birthday meal and there were alot of us and the staff did a fab job of looking after us all. Would highly recommend.

A wonderful Birthday celebration excellent food and service, very friendly staff. I shall look forward to be taken again!

Quick lunch break. Greeted/ welcomed at the bar by two eager members of staff. My mother and I had the pick of the free seats in the restaurant and chose to sit by the window. We got our own drinks at the bar and took our window seat. A very pleasant member of staff greeted us and took our order. We opted for something simple Sausage egg and chips and my mum had a small ham egg and chips. Both wer good sized portions and well cooked. We then returned to the bar for another drink and a chat. Whilst waiting for the rain to ease off.
