The Half Moon in East Hampshire

Popped in in afternoon for a cooling drink, staff nice and welcoming.Returned later for a meal. Sharing a tasty chicken satay to start, my husband had smoked gammon , a special, with egg and chips, eggs overcooked, he did ask for over easy but both set, so no chip dipping, rest of the meal he really enjoyed. I had the rocket salad with salmon, again this was very good. Finished with two scoops of lovely homemade ice cream. Ben provided service with a smile. Would happily return if we are in the area again

Lovely garden area where you can sit out with your dog. Order at bar and food brought out. Only had sandwiches for a light lunch but they were very nice. Seemed very popular but we didn't feel crowded.

Excellent food and service, not the usual long delays other pubs seem to consider acceptable. Our waiter, Ben was very polite, smart and efficient, we had two courses, both well cooked and presented and will definitely be returning soon. Thank you to all the staff.

Really superb food. Very clean and well-maintained pub. Lovely and attentive staff. A really terrific experience in a very nice environment.

Surprised to find this open on a Monday but so pleased that it was! Lovely food, great wines. What more do you need? Spotlessly clean. Good staff.

Lovely pub/ room I stayed in last night for work, lovely breakfast and attentive staff and management.

The Sunday lunch here is very good value - Main and dessert £21.00. The choice of meat - Lamb / Beef, my brother asked for rare as possible beef and they served it just right. The salmon and watercress sauce is lovely. Two decent size bowls of vegetables - carrots, cabbage & cauliflower in cheese sauce, which was not swamped! Restaurants are well spaced out which allows easy chat.

Our family of 3 stayed here for 2 nights and it was absolutely lovely. The room was clean, food was delicious, and the staff was very accommodating and friendly. Yvonne served us breakfast and tided our room and she was a doll. We’re all the way from Canada and will definitely be back!

Collin, Barry and the whole gang were fabulous! Had lunch, dinner and breakfast. Food and service were excellent.

We stayed at the Half Moon for the night before starting our 6 day hike on the South Downs Way. Colin, Paul, Barry and the rest of the crew were extremely accommodating and the food delicious. The rooms were pretty basic but comfortable and clean. We stayed in several other Inns/B&B's along the "Way" and this was our favorite. Thank you all! Elizabeth Rand

Stayed for a night and have only good things to say about this place and the family who run it. Great experience and a special shout out to Yvonne for making our breakfast so pleasant. Would highly recommend

Visited this venue to join a large group for a meal. What meal? Dare I mention the hideous so called ploughman's. The following picture is supposed to be a ploughman's. Certainly far from it. The chef was challenged on it. He remarked ( that's what you ordered that's what you got) that was after telling him how hideous it was. Others suffered cold food. I do not recommend this pub. Weather spoons food is probably better food!! Something I must try!

Basic accommodation but very welcoming and comfortable. Dog friendly with park nearby for exercise. Dog allowed in bar for evening meal and breakfast, which was freshly prepared and plentifu. Cheerful and helpful staff. Ideal location.

Just had a family meal and it was amazing. Cheerful helpful staff and fantastic food. The new restaurant and function room flooring is beautiful and makes the venue looking a totally different place and suitable for any function, wedding or party

Called in on our way back from Haslemere. Very friendly staff, meal came quickly and was very tasty. Prices reasonable (£30 for two mains and soft drinks)

Went today for a Sunday lunch and was excited for my Sunday lunch, but was so very disappointed. Potatoes very over cooked,(burnt) Yorkshire pudding very dry, beef was thin cut which was disappointing, but was even then difficult to cut and chewy. Veg were cooked well, but no parsnips and little gravy. So sorry to give such a bad review but for £16 this was extremely poor and so disappointing.

We enjoyed a very reasonable two course Sunday lunch (£20.00) - three good slices of meat, beautifully cooked, roast potato and yorkshire pudding, and a large bowl of vegetables. The tables are well spaced, and chairs very comfortable.

Went for lunch and chose the small meal/kids meal. Fish fingers chips and peas. £7.00. what I got was 11 chips, 4 very tiny fish goujons , smaller than my little finger and peas. Also someone behind us was banging nails into something for quite...

I visited with my family for my aunt's birthday. I had a lovely meal. Good portion sizes and good service. It is spacious pub restaurant and this meant we weren't too close to other tables so we could hear each other talking. I really liked...

Mass catered lunch for large group of people. Food was delicious and perfectly cooked. Slow cooked beef was Devine. Service was good. Friendly and helpful staff.

Attended a wedding nearby Stayed for 2 nights Although the twin room is compact it was clean and warm Breakfast was wonderful served by a lovely lady All the staff we encountered were absolutely lovely

Stayed here after a wedding at Southdown manor, lovely place, extremely friendly staff, very comfy and clean, amazing breakfast, would highly recommend

We cannot speak highly enough of this hidden gem in Petersfield. David and I had the best day ever on Saturday when we got married at this amazing place. The management and staff could not help enough to make the day run seamlessly. The extensive...

We attended a wedding here on Saturday, and what an amazing day it was, beautiful setting, attentive and friendly staff, and the food was delicious. We spent the night and the room was spotless and the bed comfortable. The breakfast was very good and the...

We have never eaten at the half Moon before, but given the TA reviews and comments by friends we booked table for lunch on the patio. Notwithstanding we had to get and fit a table umbrella ourselves - no offer of help or explanation that...

Fantastic experience Great food in lovely surroundings but the main plus here is great staff. Wonderfully polite & helpful Will definitely visit again. A massive thank you to Janine and her team

Staff are lovely. Seating in the conservatory is like a trip back in time with 1980s pine furniture and chintzy seat pads to match (if you aren’t on the conference centre furniture, that is). Food was distinctly average. Pie and veg were solid (but not...

Despite the obvious covid pressure, this was a good place to have a drink and a bite. Very pleasant staff and a really nice garden with plenty of shade, some marquee shade, some umbrellas and some natural shade under a tree or two. Ordered a...

Great service, fantastic food. Our full compliments to the chef! We will definitely come back to enjoy the beer garden and stage again!

Visited the Half-Moon to have afternoon drinks and dinner with friends, we knew there was a wedding reception going on therefore its was not an issue with both eating outside or waiting for food. However 4 meals were ordered but only 3 arrived despite being...

Overnight B&B for a cycling group on the King Alfred’s Way. Comfortable accommodation, warm showers, flexible formats and secure bike garage. Friendly and helpful staff. Very much appreciated the bacon & egg sandwiches for the early starters and brekky was good for those leaving later....

We were stopping here on a cycle ride to Winchester. lovely staff, very friendly and attentive. Room has a good double, and a lovely warm shower, greatly appreciated after a wet days riding. Evening meal was a great proper pie with top, bottom and sides...

Despite booking it was clear that the food delivery was a huge problem. Some items not available. It took 2 hours to get food. Food not cooked properly when it did arrive. Ordering burgers may be OK.

The four of us booked a table two weeks after lockdown ended so had to sit outside on a showery, chilly day. But the warmth of the staff made up for the chill of the weather. Slight problem with the meal order was dealt with professionally. The chicken pie was excellent and the lemon meringue pie was superb as was all the food. Lovely fresh vegetables. When the heavens opened the marquee was very welcome. Nothing too much trouble. We will definitely visit again!

Lovely venue, especially on a sunny day! Food is great and staff are really friendly and helpful. Good social distancing and Covid security. Really enjpyed our lunch there.

Had the Beyond Burger (Veggie Burger) and white chocolate and raspberry cheesecake...was delicious!! Food was great and service was perfect, very polite and attentive!

My wife and I would like to thank Colin, Paul and all the staff for an excellent Sunday Roast. Delivered piping hot and very tasty. We would absolutely recommend their meals

We've just had our first Sunday lunch delivered. It was absolutely superb both in quality and quantity. We will definitely order again, and when the pub eventually reopens we might well find ourselves wandering in that direction!

We called in for a lunch in the garden on a sunny day. Food was good with generous portions. Shared starter of baked camembert (£12) which was very well presented with salad garnish, olives and fruit marmalade and, unusually, deep fried baguette strips. It might have been better with crusty bread as the deep fried baguette made the whole dish very rich. Then sea bass (£16) and pork belly (£13), both well cooked and well presented.Covid precautions in place with the waitress wearing a mask althought those behind the bar were not - that would have been desirable for a 'top mark' and maximum customer safety. Sanitiser available and contact details taken.This is our first visit although the pub is close enough to almost be our local! The garden is simple and spacious albeit rather close to the road on the south side but plenty of room to sit further away. The inside is looking rather dated though.The important Food Standards Agency Hygiene Rating is a 4, that's one below the top mark of 5. Review April 2018. With many of the Petersfield restaurants achieving a solid 5 that's a bit of a disappointment; hopefully a 5 on the next inspection?

It never fails, always a great Sunday roast today, always well to book, very busy, the reason being because their food is excellent

Firstly staff are great. Garden is nice and easy to socially distance and good protocols in pub re covid 19. We ate to use the eat out to help out scheme. They had a special steak menu where everything was £20 (so reduced to £10 through scheme). No choice other than that menu. I had gammon, 2 fried eggs and a few chips. It was nice, well cooked and OK for £10 but that was 50% off. My wife had Tuna steak. Again well cooked and good value for £10 but £20 would have been too much for what you got. My son had 8oz rump steak. He asked for it to be rare. It was less than a cm thick. Once browned each side it was completely overdone and again you would not pay £20 and in fact this was so badly cooked £10 was over the top. It felt like they had designed a scheme to fleece the customers / government and that, rather than the food, left a nasty taste in the mouth. A good pub for a drink on a summer's day but not inclined to eat there again.

Driving home from Cornwall stopped for food, was fully booked but slotted us in The four of us all had pies they where great well worth it Good choice of deserts The staff were very friendly

Slow service - not up to the usual standard. Had to wait nearly 1 ¼ hours for food to be brought out. Portion size on the pork belly definitely got smaller as the night went on. Will give it another go but if it’s not better we won’t be returning.

I ate here last week with a friend for lunch, along with my 2 year old and 2 month old baby. We sat outside in the lovely garden (with a nice little fenced off play area which my 2 year old really enjoyed). My friend & I downloaded the app to order some drinks, and they were brought to our table a short time later. I explained to the server that I have allergies to Milk, Soya & Egg and asked if they could help me find something on the menu I could order for lunch. They brought out a specific allergy menu which detailed not only which items on the menu have which allergens, but also which items on the menu could be adapted to make them free from specific allergens. It was very impressive. My friend & I still used the app to order and pay for our food so it was all contactless. I ended up ordering the cheese burger, which they made for me without cheese, and they made a special burger sauce for me from vegan mayo. It was absolutely delicious. They didn’t seem at all phased by it, I felt in safe hands, and they didn’t make me feel like I was being a pain, so I would definitely recommend here for anyone with allergies. My friend also really enjoyed his (non allergy) lunch, and everything felt very safe in the current Covid-19 pandemic.

We looked this pub up on trip advisor , all reviews looked good. I’m personally can’t understand the reviews being good . The pub is so dated inside but a pleasant outside area. My partner accidentally picked up a spoon instead of a fork , so I took it back in the pub and told the waitress , I told her I had touched it etc and she told me to just change it for a fork ! Ummmm Covid 19!! We ordered our food which then took ages to come out . Well what can I say ! I had a chicken burger and it was birds eye or findus chicken , grim!! I could not eat it, all I could think of was the fake chicken going in my mouth . My partner had Gammon steak , it was dripping in fat and under cooked . We both left feeling sick . Never ever will we return . Sorry .

Have eaten here many times, with family and our grandchildren, with work colleagues in large groups. Good variety on the menu and pleasant staff.

Asked for a glass of Savignon Blanc for my companion, offered 2 alternatives. Asked for a glass of Rioja, got no comment. The red wine was OK I suppose, but I have had better Riojas. When I paid the bill , my Rioja was a Merlot and I was told Rioja only came by the bottle. The young man who took the order clearly regarded an older person as thick and or not worth explaining anything to. Luckily the food was very good value. My advice is - if you are oldish. maybe retired... dine somewhere else where your custom would be better valued

Our Stroke support group had the most wonderful Christmas lunch yesterday. Really excellent food and service for 67 people - lovely and hot and great atmosphere. Thanks guys and look forward to seeing you again next year!

Had a lovely lunch here on Sunday, it was our first visit, but, definately won't be our last. Food was well cooked, tasty and well presented. Staff were polite and friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Will have no problem recommending to family and friends.

My son was married at The Half Moon a fortnight ago. It was a lovely day, brilliantly organised and orchestrated by Chris and Paul. The function rooms are light and airy and the garden was beautiful in the sunshine. The food at the reception was great, everyone remarked on it, and we had a wonderful and stress free day. Plenty of wine and beer choice, friendly bar staff. Thanks to all at the Half Moon for helping make a special day even more memorable. Again, special mention to Chris and Paul, all the servers at the reception and the sun for shining!

very friendly pub and helpful staff. very attentive but not oberbearing, plenty of choice, not too long to wait. realy nice and tastu food.

We did an overnight stop as we were guests at a nearby wedding. We were very happy with our stay. It is not posh but it is clean and tidy. The pub has a very nice garden area with plenty of seating and a secure fence to make it child friendly as well as little play area for the under 8’s.The room was small with a decent en-suite, with complimentary shower gel and shampoo.The staff are lovely and very helpful, they ordered and arranged a taxis for us to get to the wedding venue. The breakfast was good with a wide selection of cooked breakfasts that included a vegetarian option as well as cereal, toast, juice and plenty of tea and coffee. It was very good value for money and we would recommend it for a decent B&B

We were having a family reunion of 7 people and the staff were able to accomodate us. My husband had the Chicken and Leak pie and I had the lamb and Stilton pie. Both were tender and tasty. The vegetables were just right and the mash was fluffy. Others in the group had the fish and chips and they enjoyed the portions, although one of the orders of the fish was a little undercooked. We all had drinks and desert and I thought the price for seven people was very reasonable. When we visit again we will certainly come back.

Excellent food and service. Steak with peppercorn sauce was delicious. Staff very attentive and polite. Will definitely revisit.

Went for Sunday lunch with friends, the food was really nice and the staff were all really friendly! Great value for money also, we each had 3 courses and the bill came to a lot less than I expected!

Great place for bikers to stay, owner is a biker and understands bikers. Bike can stored securely in garage overnight, Great food, friendly and helpfull staff, lovely accomodation.

Very good pub! Relaxing enviroment ! Child friendly. Excellent food. very good garden area. must visit !

I went for a Sunday lunch here recently and very much enjoyed it. The bar and waiting staff were very friendly. I enjoyed the beer and the food.

Spend one night at the Half Moon. Room was clean and beds comfortable. Lovely shower. Heating wasn’t on when we came in around half ten. The staff resolved this quickly. Breakfast was excellent. Tasty and a full plate. Staff very friendly and helpful.

Rooms very clean and comfortable food excellent. Staff very attentive and friendly chefs very accommodating to our dietary requirements excellent outdoor seating area all in all well worth a visit.

I use this pub quite frequently in a group, because it is just right for the space we need, the food we need and a nice range of drinks

Age range from 3 to 80 .... excellent service, nothing too much trouble for all the fantastic waiting staff, all the food especially the roasts were excellent. All cam out together, all hot and tasty. Would recommend for any family get togethers.

It's that time of the month again when the Triumph Sports Six Club visit a local pub for Sunday lunch. At a quick glance passing the Half Moon in my car the past I didn't think that there was much to it. How wrong I was. As I drove into the car park I did think it was that big but there are further spaces to the back. Also I noticed a play area and a large garden.There is also a large dining room extension to the original building.

I organised our Club Christmas lunch for just under 50 people. With that many diners, the food is often not as good or there are delays with service, but I really couldn’t fault the staff at The Half Moon. The food was excellent, and many people commented on how good the roast turkey was. My Mushroom & Stilton Wellington was delicious. One person arrived late due to unforeseen circumstances, and he was still served his three courses with absolutely no fuss. We would all definitely return!

This is a great little pub. It's in a good location on a main road and in walking distance of Petersfield although it does take about 30 mins. It has a restaurant and 4 bookable rooms. The rooms are not in any way posh but they are clean, have nice showers, hairdryers, tea and coffee facilities and an iron and ironing board. Beds are comfy too. You do have to go out of the pub to get to the rooms which is fine as long as it's not pouring! There is a nice restaurant that does a set Sunday lunch and dinner as well as a good menu during the week. The food is lovely, good value and the seasonal veg is beautifully cooked. However the jewel in their crown is their wonderful staff. They are kind and attentive and are just lovely. A very reasonable place to stay and I have already been back and will be returning again when I am in Petersfield.

Nice pub with excellent service from staff. Easy to find pub but food was very good, a hidden gem. A good array of beer and good choice of food.

Food was poor and the pub almost completely empty on a weekday evening. Now I know why! Service was friendly though.

Table booked and on entering the Half Moon welcomed and shown directly to my table of my own choice, wonderful. Asked about drinks, they have a wide verity. Drinks arrived and ordered lunch fish and chips which were average but to in the middle of what seemed countryside was worth the trip.

Fantastic place to meet old friends. Wonderful varied menu well priced with large portions and the icing on the cake - the staff, they are wonderful

Very enjoyable three day break with our dog. Staff extremely friendly and accomodating. Food was very good, plenty of walks nearby.

Been here a few times now and thought now is the time to review. Good choice of food and of a good standard. Staff very pleasant and the whole restaurant appears to be run well. On each of our visits most of the tables have been taken. Would recommend trying if you have not yet been.

Located just outside the town of Petersfield, free car park, accommodation situated upstairs through the back of the Inn. Good selection of breakfast, a full English on request and HOT!?

Stopped off at this nice little pub for a spot of lunch whilst passing. Lady behind the bar was pleasant and friendly. Food was excellent.

I cannot understand why I have not reviewed the Half Moon before, since I go there frequently. The club to which we belong meets for a lunch and a talk each month. Yesterday it was the club Christmas lunch and it was excellent.

Needed a place to met some really good friends. We live 240 miles away and was down to visit family and friends. Well what a place to find a hidden gem.

idea base to stop one night if u are running the hellrunner race the following morning as its approx 7mins drive to longmoor camp. stayed in room 1. quite a big room. little gripes were could do with blackout curtains as the light from the pub sign was very bright . bit of traffic noise as youre on a main road .could do with some biscuits in the room and water pressure for the shower was poor and the london pride beer is truly awful. good value 3 courses for £22 and house wine at £16. in the restaurant .decent full english in the morning.

We got married here on 23/09/17, absolutely amazing venue and the food is gorgeous! All cooked to absolute perfection! Staff are so helpful and friendly, rooms are light, airy and spacious and it's excellent value for money, I'd highly recommend the half moon to everyone of my friends and family for future events

Four of arrived about 19:30 hrs we hadn't booked on a Thursday evening we were offered a table in the bar or restaurant we had burger, chilli and steak everyone reported the food to be very good cooked well and nicely presented as a bonus the London pride bitter was very nice.

Booked a birthday lunch here for 44 people . Food was delicious, had the 2 course menu. The whole party enjoyed their starter and main. Portions were generous, the choice was varied and nothing was too much trouble. The serving staff were delightful and the whole event from start to finish was made pleasurable by the team here. Thank you for a lovely meal

I avoid writing any negative reviews, but in this case I felt that tipping off the TripAdvisor community was the right thing to do.

A lovely meal that was served quickly. Nice and hot and freshly cooked. Staff friendly and a nice atmosphere.

Qué gran lugar para una boda. La comida era muy sabrosa, ambiente agradable, personal fue muy atento y amable, y después de ser tirado sin cabina, el propietario tomó en mi casa familiar en 115 por la mañana. Sin duda, recomendaría este lugar para tomar un trago, una visita con algo de comer o un evento más grande. Muchas gracias por todo.

A family gathering brought us to The Half Moon. We were seated at a large round table which suited our party of 7. The room was light and airy. We were having a later lunch but all our requests were met.

In for lunch today with 3 older guests and Josh was amazing. His patience is astounding. My guests aren't the fastest of eaters and they do tend to dither and he never faltered. The food was great and the service was excellent. Will definitely be back

Had a three course lunch in the beer garden. Quality of food and speed of service excellent. All staff we met were polite and friendly which I think always makes a big difference to whether you enjoy somewhere or not. All in all a lovely pub/restaurant and my husband and I will be back! Try the white chocolate and raspberry cheesecake-it's fab.

If you like a drink in a pub garden on a sunny day then this is the place for you, spent nearly the whole afternoon chatting away as it was such a nice place to relax.

Our thanks to Paul and his stafffor making our wedding a special daywould highly recommend the food we had for 30 people and the organisation of the day all run smoothly.nothing was to much trouble, great day was had to be remembered by all

We stopped off here on the way to the airport for lunch & were pleasantly surprised. The service was friendly & efficient & the food was top notch. Highly recommended.

This was an unplanned Friday lunch and received a very warm welcome and excellent seating in the pleasant restaurant, a very good and reasonable food and drinks menu, splendid and friendly service, cracking mains and dessert. Very pleased indeed Thank you Half Moon.

good food great price good Landlord the seating are comfy staff are very good the Inn is very clean and there are plenty of parking places

Visited here whilst travelling as seemed to be the only pub in the area that serves food all day (and doesn't have awful reviews). Had Chilli and a burger from the bar menu - both were great tasting meals and we'd definitely be back if were passing by again.

We booked a table for 16 for our daughters birthday, we sometimes get the fully booked excuse when we mention her birthday is valentines day as so many places want to do a special valentines menu to make more money, but the Half Moon took our booking with no problem. The service we received from the 2 waitresses was excellent and the food was superb! Also great value

Champion. Olly is the chipmeister masterchef. Twice cooked cheesy chips with a pint, can't be beaten.

My wife and I popped in for a quick lunch while visiting in Petersfield. My wife had the burger and I had the Cottage Pie. We really enjoyed the bite which set us up for the day.

Around 14 of us visited The Half Moon for lunch and reserved our booking via website, which worked really well. Nothing was too much trouble for them, hosting skill impeccable, great banter and food was on point for the money. Would recommend this venue for anyone looking for Sunday Roast Lunch very nice and will be hard to beat for the value.

I stopped off here for a night while passing through the South Downs on my motorcycle.Friendly and great value. My evening meal was lovely and the real ale went down a treat.Very comfortable stay.

Yer another excellent visit to this ever popular Restaurant, and this time with linen napkins - well done. The reception with mulled wine and canapes was very good as was the atmosphere of the restaurant . The food was very good and the service excellent.. We have already booked for 2017 !

Despite having visited the Half Moon for an evening meal we decided to try it for our Sunday lunch - we were not disappointed! A wide range of freshly cooked roasts plus chicken and fish and a' Veggie' option. Good range of 'starters' and mouthwatering deserts. Not the cheapest in the area but very good value for money. With the white linen tablecloths and silver service the paper napkins were a disappointment..

I had a vegetarian burger to which you could add another (go large) for £3. Not very much atmosphere.

Got lost looking for another pub and desperate to eat we stopped in here. The food was average pub food and was served by a polite staff member. Elected to have the chicken burger, this was ok but not outstanding. Little atmosphere.
