The Greatham Inn in East Hampshire

We stopped over in the car park with two other motorhomes. Peter and his partner were very accommodating. Lovely choice of food which was Thai based with an English option.

Open mic evening. Awesome attendance and 10 artists/bands singing/playing. Simply outstanding atmosphere. As ever, top notch Thai food. I recommend this to anyone!

A quick Britstop on the way home. We had a parking space in the overflow car park across the road, which was on a slight slope and subject to minor road noise. The pub was quiet so service was prompt and very friendly. The live music added to the ambiance for a chilled Sunday afternoon. The Thai food was very good, tasty and portion sizes reasonable. Service was a little slow but no particular bother for us. We would happily return there if in the area.

I’m always honest about the experience. Great starters but clearly bought in not home made after being told it’s all made fresh to order 🤔literally just thrown through the fryer.The hot drinks were horrendous not a authentic cappuccino, I don’t know what it was suppose to be 🤔it had vanilla added to it for some reason very very sweet! The mains were sent out incorrect not once but twice and cold. The fish and chips were served with stone cold peas and hard chips. The fish was nice tho. All other dishes were a mess the chicken wings embarrassing actually shocking. The Satay chicken was an insult so so so small embarrassing small! We left more of the mains than we actually ate. I’d say at just under £100 it was shocking a 4/10 at best. The pub used to be a lovely place that’s going back a couple of years ago. Honestly I found the experience cringeworthy at times. Obviously we will not be returning as there was nothing authentic about the experience. I checked the reviews out after other than before which was a big mistake.£97 worth definitely NOT! The drinks weren’t just bad absolutely SHOCKING BAD!

I can honestly say this is the worst run pub I have ever come across, as locals we just went in for a Sunday afternoon drink, at 2pm chairs on tables, floor still wet, absolutely no warming welcome as shown on sign, left without having a drink, pathetic get out now, useless

We were warmly welcomed to lunch on a rainy week day and the only guests. The Thai food was very tasty as was the beer and wine. Service was friendly and prompt. Altogether a very enjoyable lunch.

We visited this pub today with friends. This pub could be a little goldmine but sadly the owners are disinterested at best. The meals we had were honestly the worst we have ever had. All the food was cold. One of our part had their chicken reheated in the microwave. Had the food been hot it would have still been inevitable. The owner told us he had a wide range of gins which was true if one is looking for every flavour of Gordon's gin. He couldn't even prepare and serve a drink. My husband's coke came with an old squashed straw.in the glass and the owner was barely apologetic. Such a shame as this pub is only a couple of minutes walk from our friends' home. Sadly we will never be visiting this pub again and will in future have to go further afield. Our advice- don't bother even if you are desperate for food and drinks

We were given a very warm welcome in this attractive and spacious pub. Our drunken noodles meal was delicious and there were lots of lovely Thai dishes on the menu. We will definitely return and hope to coincide our next visit with the live music on offer. A real gem of a pub!

Incredible food.. Lovely hospitality.. Good ambience... The food was really fantastic, fresh and and fragrant. Want to try everything in the menu now.. Will definitely be back again and again.. Highly recommended.. Best local restaurant!

Came here on Saturday night for some drinks and decided to have some food. I ordered the crispy duck red curry with sticky rice and my boyfriend had the vegetable spring rolls. My curry was so delicious with yummy vegetables and the best duck ever !! The actual red curry sauce was so good and the sticky rice was the best I’ve had in a long time. The vegetable spring rolls my boyfriend had were really good as well !! The staff were super friendly and the fire was super welcoming ! Would definitely recommend !!

Booked a table for our wedding anniversary. When we arrived we were told to sit anywhere, they hadn’t even bothered to reserve a table for us. We ordered a pint for my husband and a G&T for me, pint arrived quickly and we then watched the guy behind the bar serve several other people that came in. After waiting 25 minutes for the G&T we decided enough was enough. Working in the pub trade myself, I like to support local business but definitely will not be back to this one.

We went for a birthday meal and were so well looked after. The people who run it are so kind and lovely and went out of their way to make the evening special for our friend, even going to the trouble of providing a delicious birthday cake with no notice! Definitely recommend.

We came of the A3 at Selborne looking for somewhere to stop and eat. Glad we did. Turned into Greatham Village just a few minutes away. Then found the Greatham Inn. Advertising Tai food. Deceptively spacious pub with a garden. Limited parking but village has plenty of on road spaces. Friendly welcome, nice cold beer and loads choice where to eat. Looks like it has recently been taken over so undergoing change. Sat in garden area, waited for our family and then ordered from the menu. Didn't wait too long and were very happy when it turned up. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Highly recommend. Fabulous green lipped mussels, delicious chicken stir fry, crispy duck salad and a beef salad.

Food is really amazing. Friendly service and relaxed atmosphere. Would really recommend. It’s a very nice place to visit

Don't like to write bad reviews. However... Visited Greatham Inn on the way back from business meeting and boy, what a place! The pub itself is decent but as I enjoyed a drink the (I presume) locals wandered in and out for a pint and chat. People in pub nice as pie to their faces but as soon as they left would slag them all (!) off as being weird. Literally every single person! Fascinating to observe but seems an odd way to run a pub even if I'm no expert. Think I'll stick to the city as much as possible and avoid places like this Inn. Give it 2 stars though as building is stylish.

Back at The Greatham Inn for pie night, and tonight I completed the set (of all the pies I like!) The chicken, ham and leek was amazing, and as good as all the others I've had. So much so, I don't think I could pick...

We stopped for lunch at this traditional pub whilst walking in the area and received a very warm welcome. Our food was freshly cooked and excellent value; the beer was also well kept. Social distancing, track and trace and hygiene precautions were all clearly in...

Not only did the Greatham Inn provide a shop for our village during lockdown, but they have come back with a bang with Pizza night. A range of options to suit most palettes, baked in the new pizza ovenin site. Better tasting and better value...

Popped in with the family whilst driving by. The initial plan was to just have a quick drink and move on. As a family of five we have to be careful in terms of pricing when eating out. Having stopped we then saw the Sunday...

Excellent food and atmosphere, plus nice staff. A place to relax and enjoy a good afternoon. Pretty good coffee too!

We came as a big group on a Saturday night. There were around 30 of us. We had pre-ordered the food from a set menu and was looking forward to a 3 course dinner.Let’s start with the pro’s;1) lovely staff2) quick service3) clean toilets 4) cosy feelThe main con was the quality of food provided. The soup tasted like it was straight from a tin, the salmon was bone dry and the raw new potatoes made it almost inedible. Sadly, the other meal choices didn’t fare much different and many of us left hungry and disappointed.I am hesitant writing this review as I understand local businesses should be celebrated and I do not want to put any future customers off.This pub has a lot of great potential but the quality of the food must be improved. Every dish tasted heated up and like it wasn’t prepared with an ounce of love or care.If the food can be improved, I would recommend the pub to others. I really hope this issue can be addressed as the other aspects of the experience were great.Please take this review as constructive criticism and not a character assassination.

Who doesn’t love a good pie and you are spoilt for choice on pie night. We popped in on the way home from work to grab a pie for dinner specifically because it was pie night. I hadn’t been to the Greatham Inn for years...

Just had Sunday lunch at the Greatham Inn. Fantastic value roast at £8.95 (melt in the mouth roast beef), and syrup sponge and custard for £4.50. And efficient, friendly service in a traditional village pub.

The place was derelict, out dated and dead . Popped in and was shocked to find we were the only ones there . Honestly , if the locals arent supporting this pub then I would sell up. Obviously it is costing more money to keep...

Great food,really good service but a very limited menu,no starters,and the rest of the menu is nothing much The food we had was very tasty and the waitress excellent,so much more could be made of this place,sadly we won't be returning but that's only because...

Nice chilled out pub in the countryside. Nice decor and chilled vibe. Was here with friends in between wedding and reception.

Went to watch the England game, ended up staying the evening for drink, food and chat. Great, unpretentious, friendly, local boozer. Would thoroughly recommend for anyone in the area.

Fantastic Sunday lunch with family and friends, great atmosphere, the new owners are certainly turning it round.

We live in Greatham and heard recently that the new people at the Greatham Inn were serving good food. We popped in on Sunday lunchtime and were greeted with an open fire and a welcoming smile from a landlady with a sense of humour. What...

Had fish and chips, came out nice and hot but the fish wasn't the best and quite soggy. chips were good though

Visited the pub on a cold wet August Sunday, hoping for a warm cosy pub.........how wrong could we be! The pub was cold, dismal and souless. However, the bar staff seemed very pleasant. Sadly, the lunch was very disappointing. I had roast pork, not a...

Visited here for an elderly relatives birthday meal . Lovely food and service. Nice little pub . Visit ruined by a large party of people who arrived halfway through our meal and closed the curtains!!. We politely asked for them to be opened as it was hot (during the heatwave) . They said no as the sun was in their eyes . We ate our food and didn't order pudding as we couldn't sit and enjoy our meal. Awfully rude thing to do not to mention Selfish . Obviously regulars but it really put a taint on our evening which was cut short . No reflection on the pub itself of course.

Went here for lunch with my dad. We haven't been for a while and thought we would give it a try. We both really enjoyed our meal, very delicious. The service was very pleasant. Overall a very good experience

I don't write this lightly, and I hope this can be learned from as this is my local. This is the third time I have been here since the new tenants have been in situ, and I have waited till now to try and give a fair and balanced view. I also give my opinion as a former bar and restaurant manager.

Homemade pie was to die for. Really nice local pub, would definitely recommend this place. Quite an extensive menu for a small venue. The Christmas menu is excellent although unfortunately it is fully booked this year.

We came here for a joint birthday lunch, and we were happy we did. I had the burger which was excellent, and all the other plates were empty too.

I hosted two eccentric elderly ladies for an evening meal. They extolled the virtues of their local pub since they knew the place for the past 60 years.... but added that the lease was not going to be renewed? Probably a good thing. The pub has seen better days but has a chef who travels in from portsmouth and wasn't there on our visit. Our waitress might have been more cheery or else she had left her hearing aid at home? Food was okay for pub food.... but definitely not 'cheffed'. The barmaid didn't know what the best local on tap brew was..... ooooh boy..... one must be polite in the company of elderly matrons on a pub crawl. If the owners were there we didn't see them ... or even get a 'Is everything okay' visit. Local restaurant pubs have a lot to do if they want to stay in business..... take care of your precious customers if you want to stay in business!!

This is a great mix of family and country pub. Offering great food in generous portion. It offers quiz nights and live music. Sunday roasts are yummy. Well worth a visit.

Came here for a family meal on Thursday evening which was Steak night. We really enjoyed our time here and thought the main meal roasts were so good we stayed on for coffee and desserts each.

Excellent food, good Beer and Good staff. Landlords are charming and the establishment is exceptionally characteristic

We ate here today, and yet again we feel so lucky to have this place as our local. I had cod and chips which was excellent. My companions had a chilli burger, roast turkey, gammon, egg and chips, and kids sausage and chips. All plates were cleared, we'll and truly! I also had a melt in the middle chocolate which was superb too. Great service and value for money, just down the road. What more could we want?

Our U3A walking group stopped off here for our lunch after the walk one cold January day. My wife and I had driven past on many occasions and were not too taken with the exterior appearance. Imagine our surprise when we entered, to find a roaring open fire and all beams and sparkling bright work of a lovely country pub. The food was excellent and was cooked to perfection by the Landlady's husband. My choice of Liver and bacon with mashed potatoes, onion gravy and seasonal vegetables was superb and would satisfy the heartiest of appetites. The Oyster mushroom and champagne risotto served for my wife was, so she said, just the right amount and amazing. Others on our table had Braised pork belly, Beer battered cod and Welsh rarebit and all enthused over the quality. Service was quick, efficient and very friendly. We certainly will return.

I have always found this pub to be very friendly, There is a good selection of very well cooked food, with special nights. This pub is also very dog friendly which is important in our part of the world. If you have not been here ... give it a try!

What a lovely country pub! Visited with family for an early Christmas and Birthday on a Saturday early evening on Dec 3 RD. Booked in advance , great table , friendly welcome , lovely fires. Part of 9 all of whom loved their meals & service. Mixture of menus and Christmas Fayre , good value , good portions , friendly service a well run ' Local' country pub.

Eight of us had a lovely meal from the Christmas menu, we all enjoyed our choices. Staff were helpful and friendly, a really good evening.

Called in for the first time and was surprised by the lack of choice and prices but thought maybe the quality is high like the Hawley Inn. But no the quality was poor and the prices were high. Suggest if you have time drive a little further to the Hawley Inn - Food is awesome and the prices incredibly reasonable. If you must visit, otherwise give it is miss

Lovely pub with an open fire. We ordered drinks and i ordered a bottle of orange juice and a bottle of pineapple juice in a glass topped up with lemonade and ice but when it arrived did not have orange juice, not a great start. We decided on garlic mushrooms as a starter each at £6.50 a portion and when it arrived to the table they were presented very nicely and tasted superb. Next the main of Gammon egg and chips for myself and a nut roast for my partner. The nut roast superb in flavour and the same looked great. The Gammon when i ordered i asked was it a thin gammon or a nice thick gammon and the lady serving us said it was a nice thick one so i decided on Gammon. When the meal arrived to the table i could see that the fat on the Gammon was uncooked and the Gammon itself curled up in the air both sides where it was so thin. The gammon was full of gristle and the chips undercooked and hard in places. I took the Gammon of the plate and the egg and sent the chips back as they were clearly not fried enough. I took a picture of the Gammon but have chosen not to upload it as i spoke with who i believe to be the landlady and she seemed like she cared and wanted to rectify the problem and ended up not charged for the main meal. The chips were perfect when they came back to the table. We decided on a dessert to share and the same as the starter SUPERB. The dessert delivered to the table by the Chef and obviously he was proud of his desserts presentation and yes it did taste and look very nice i have uploaded this picture. So to sum up the experience it was OK. I was going to leave a poor but decided on an average on the food side but this was down to two things, the land lady's attitude in rectifying the problem and the fact the starters were nice and the dessert superb. Would we return to the Greatham Inn yes more than likely but Gammon will not be my choice next time round. We eat out nearly every night so over the past few years have eaten in hundreds of eateries. I love my food and i am a Chef by trade myself ,so its nice to have others cook for me. I noted on the bill that you charged us for two bottles of juice but like i said earlier there was no bottle of orange juice added!!!!

The Greatham Inn is a great little country pub with good value, tasty food and a welcoming atmosphere.

I booked a lunch for 10 at short notice at this pub near Liss in the pretty village of Greatham. The service was great, food excellent with a good selection of Real Ales, Beers. I woul like to thank all the staff.

Things have definitely changed and not for the best. The lunchtime menu used to be great. Great choice at a fair price. However that is clearly in the past. The staff look like they want to be anywhere else and this is reflected in their lack of of interest in the the customers and their token effort (if any) in assuring the customers are enjoying their experience in the pub. To use the term "Chef" is stretching a point. The "Cook" is wearing Chefs whites, something that has to be earned. I am shocking in the kitchen but I would beat this guy hands down. Too little. Took far too long to serve. Over priced. Over cooked and it tastes as if it was bought from Iceland. The bread was at least 24 hours old. However it's not all bad. There is a burger van on the the nearby bypass that does a better job. Appalling........

Full of locals so we felt like we stuck out a bit, but everyone was very friendly. Cute pub, great food (huge servings)! Plus bonus free wifi! Very handy for travellers!

we booked by phone earlier in the day and the person who answered the call was very jolly. we were met with smiles by all staff and found service to be excellent. Given plenty of time to choose from the very family friendly menu and offered the specials board at the same time. food came out well presented and hot. very tasty home cooked . staff were great too. Good value for money. nothing pushy about the place. great atmosphere and will certainly be returning soon.

Very little time to spare so opted for the starters section of the very comprehensive lunch menu.Mushroom and blue cheese melt with mixed salad and creamy white wine sauce.(£5.50) together with Hop Art bitter (£3.80) which was a new one for me but very refreshing.Loved the meal but,as a very minor detail,the sauce reduced the brioche to mush.If only it had been toasted.

We were passing through the village and decided to stop for lunch. We were greeted as soon as we stepped through the door by the smiling and friendly staff. There was a good choice of food and our meals were excellent. Very enjoyable experience.

Visited this establishment many times and the food has always been good since Denise and Tony have moved in. The Burger was good but the chips weren't as good as they have been on many occasions. The burger was excellent however the waiting staff do need to learn to smile a bit more :)

The atmosphere was friendly, the food excellent. Vegetarian options available. Selection of good beers.

My partner and I ate here on a Friday night. We both had the 28 day matured rump steaks but both of them were a bit tough and chewy. I know rump steaks tend to be, but there weren't any Sirloin or Ribeye steaks on the menu. The chips were very either over cooked or the oil needed changing. They didn't taste very nice and they were a nasty brown colour.

Lovely atmosphere and obvious improvements to the decor/ presentation since I last went a year or so ago. Fish and chips, steak and chicken melt all spot on, good stop over for a cosy pub dinner! All at reasonable prices

Friendly staff and very welcoming Food and spread was an absolute delight. Wide range on the menu. Very cosy and warm atmosphere

Had a gathering here today for friends and family following a funeral, they could not have been more accommodating, great staff, great food. Will definitely be going back..... Under happier circumstances. Highly recommended

If you are looking for a simple village pub with good beer and good food, and no pretensions, this could well be the place for you. Since Tony and Denise took the pub over it has gone from strength to strength. As others have noted, the food portion sizes can be enormous.

Denise & Tony are doing a great job in bringing this place back to life. Really good food, great value for money. Beware portions are huge!!

Been here quite a few times as the place is great for good value food a nice atmosphere cool surroundings as has a great fire place and nice leather settees to sit on and the landlady is fab a real character and lovely person makes you feel very at home the perfect host

Best night I have inside a pub for quite sometime!

We ate here last night, and we were all suitably impressed. It was their 'two for one' steak night so most of us obliged. The food is very much matched by the service which was also exceptional. For a Thursday night it was pretty busy, but the staff took everything in their stride. Great food and drink, great atmosphere and a roaring fire equals a recipe for success. Good job Denise and Tony.

Stopped off at this lovely pub on the way through the village

This recently changed management restaurant was highly recommended. Sunday lunch for 3 over 50's ladies .

We decided to have a committee meeting here last night, and we grabbed the last table in the bar. The Greatham Inn is clearly becoming more popular again at a rapid rate. The staff were all very friendly and efficient, and the real ales are extremely well kept. I didn't eat, but two of my companions did, and they were impressed. Having seen the menu, I shall be sure to return very soon. The new landlord and landlady deserve all the success they get, because they are clearly putting the effort in.

This pub doesnt look as nice as it is when you drive past. We just found it by chance and actually really enjoyed our meal on the sunny terrace at the back. We had traditional fish and chips and a lovely home made shepherds pie which was tasty and served with root vegetables. There are no amazing views or anything special but the food was really good.

This pub has recently changed management but have never used it before so have no comparison to make. What I can say was that my wife and I received a very warm welcome and it was great to actually go into a pub where the people running it are so pleased to see you. There weren't too many people in as it was a wet, cold and windy September evening which is a shame as the food and service were excellent. The surroundings are comfortable and clean and there were four great real ales (Bowman's Swift One, Sharps' Doom Bar and Atlantic, and St. Austell Proper Job) all of which I tried and all were excellent. It was Tony's Pie Night so had a steak and ale pie - great to see a good-sized individual short crust pie arrive rather that the miserly slices or bowls of stew with a bit of puff pastry slammed on top that you get so often. And the chips were hand-cut, too - only know of one other pub (in Northumberland) that does this. Fantastic. Am rounding up a load of friends to go over there to try it for themselves, it was so good! Looking forward to returning soon, just a shame it's a bit of a trek from home!

Very encouraging start for the new landlord and landlady. Been a few time and the food has been great. The service is very friendly and the place is looking much smarter. Good luck!

We tried the Greatham Inn the other night as we were told it has a new landlord and landladie and there food is excellent. We were welcomed on arrival and look after all evening, and yes the food was excellent. Thank you for a nice evening.

First time visited, due to under new management, went for Thursday 241 steak night. My son and I had steaks they were good. My wife and daughter inlaw went for other courses on the 241 menu they were both good.

We have been here several times now and cannot recommend it highly enough.

The Greatham Inn is under new management, being run by a lovely couple in Denise and Tony. Tony is the man in the whites running the kitchen, while Denise provides a friendly welcome to all customers. I have now eaten there seven or eight times and have yet to leave disappointed - I have dined in parties ranging from two people to 10, including when the restaurant has been full, and neither the quality of food nor the service has been diminished by how busy things are.

We visited the Greatham Inn on business, having heard the the pub had newly reopened with new owners Tony (Chef) and Denise (front of house). They have only been open for a few weeks and are still decorating some areas and adding their touches to the place. The restaurant area (20 odd covers) is clean and attractive and the menu choices wide ranging - we had a fish and chips dish, the fish was well cooked and the chips excellent. Certainly worth another visit as Tony and Denise get themselves settled.
