The Hanger Free House in East Hampshire

Really nice lunch, friendly staff.

Unbelievable food and the service is even better. The atmosphere is fantastic and Clare the owner goes above and beyond to make our stay as special as she can. Will definitely be back.

I was taken there for Mother’s Day lunch . It was incredible . The food was superb . The best roast beef I have ever had great roast pots amazing gravy vegetables cooked perfectly. The starters / bar snacks were so so good and very different . We had the Korean cauliflower, whipped marmite butter and focaccia bread , potato skins , all absolutely beautiful . Deserts were fab we chose a different one each all incredible followed by coffee and homemade truffles . We ordered more truffles . The staff were very friendly and although it was busy our service was fantastic . I had a bounty martini which I would drive back for every day best cocktail I’ve ever had . The Hanger also has some fabulous modern art . The owner Clare was so welcoming and her husband is the chef sadly we didn’t meet him to thank him for the best lunch experience . We will definitely be back. THANK YOU CLARE FIR A FANTASTIC MOTHER’S DAY TREAT .

Great food, amazing desserts, friendly service, but overshadowed by the manager responses to poor reviews. Not cheap, but nowhere is these days. Been once, but having shared with family and noticed the reviews won’t be returning. I’d hate to bump into the passive aggressive owner! Certainly need to think about the way their comments read.

Delicious lunch and friendly, efficient service.

Had 1 beef & 2 roast chicken here on Mother’s Day. Food was delicious with a wide variety of vegetables, crispy roast potatoes & gravy. Nothing was too much trouble for any of the friendly staff. We sat in the dog friendly bar. Will definitely return for a special occasion.

Always the most amazingly delicious food and great friendly service. Last night brought my family over for dinner and drinks and they agreed. Thanks guys see you again soon. Tom

Good food and service is good been twice and both times they seem to add £1 for no reason. Last time we ordered 1 extra gravy and got charged for 2 this time we ordered 1 starter and explicitly said we are not sharing and were charged for extra toast. Something to keep an eye on

Very impressed by our first visit to The Hanger. The menu was so good, we found it difficult to choose, but as it was a Sunday we all chose the roast. The beef was perfectly pink, roast potatoes excellent, and a lovely selection of root vegetables and side dishes. The dessert menu was also good. I think this was the first of many visits. Very welcoming, attentive service, nothing was too much trouble. Lovely, relaxing atmosphere. We look forward to our next visit.

It has already been said but the food is so good. So well executed and great depth of flavours. Everything works so well together. Can’t wait to go back again. The Artemis was sublime with the Wagyu.

Really impressive food that would be well worth a journey – which makes me all the happier to call this my local! Lovely space, cracking dishes and great service – what more can you ask for

So, It is a very rare thing these days to find a pub that has it all, Great Front of house, Great Bar Staff, Good Pint and ................ Amazing Food and I mean fabulous. The Crab rarebit tasted of Crab, I hear you laugh, however, more often than not so many dishes saying Crab have no baring to the dish at all. The Steak was the most delicious, beautifully cooked and presentation was sublime. We ordered the chocolate and Hazelnut Pudding and wow wow wow perfection, the hazelnut volute tasted like a foragers dream. Thank you all so very very much for making our evening so wonderful

Standard cup of latte £4.50. No wonder some pubs are struggling.

We booked for a Saturday evening and enjoyed a delightful meal in an interesting environment with a very eye catching selection of eclectic “pop art”. The pork chop topped with black pudding crumb was delicious, as was the venison pie with amazing homemade crispy chips. And don’t get me started on the desert, the chocolate “tart” was “to die for” and I wish I had not agreed to share it! Whilst others compromise on their menu, ingredients and/or service the team at The Hanger continue their high quality approach and is very highly recommended.

A breath of fresh air to have such a wonderful pub-restaurant in the area. Great atmosphere with modern eye-catching eclectic mix of decor. The talented Chef produces a great menu/fayre that’s definitely not run of the mill, fresh, tasty and made with passion and flair. Kept in a mid price range (you won’t find 10oz steaks). The Bar side area allows well behaved dogs, so you can enjoy dinner. The restaurant area is brightly lit - I so wish they would please consider changing the restaurant area lighting for evening dinner - give it some warm ambiance and intimacy, maybe with table lamps.

Smart country pub. Modern decor, open areas and also cosy places to sit. Good service and great bar snacks with our post Xmas festive drinks. And for once there was a good choice of non alcoholic drinks, the ones that are actually enjoyable to drink.

Had a wonderful meal last night. It was our first visit, it won't be our last

The best roast dinner around. We love coming here, the art work in the restaurant really adds to the ambience and is always a conversation starter. We've never had a bad meal at The Hanger, everything we've tried has been delicious and the service is great

Food was basic. I expected more, considering the price of the meal. Service was good. Staff are friendly and attentive.

Really great atmosphere here and staff very friendly and helpful. Food was nice but perhaps a bit overpriced for what it is.

Great lunch menu, friendly staff, good facilities (baby change, highchair), clean, nice decor.

First visit to the Hanger. The food was pretty good and we will return... Update. We visited again on Friday evening and the food was excellent. Highly recommended.

We thoroughly enjoyed our evening at The Hanger. Hospitality and atmosphere was wonderful and the food was amazing.

What a wonderful pub/restaraunt. The best Sunday lunch i've had in a pub or restaurant. Excellent quality meat, crispy roast potatoes (rare to see outside home cooked), beautifully prepared vegetables. The best cauliflower cheese I've ever had eating out. Great wines. Friendly knowledgeable waiting staff. A beautiful dining room. All in all a fantastic experience.

I am visiting a friend who lives locally to the pub and we went for dinner this evening. Exceptional service, quick and efficient, good value really tasty food and a lovely atmosphere. Thoroughly recommend 🙂

We visited the Hanger Sunday lunch. Dog friendly pub. The starter was great, mushroom soup with truffle and poached egg, main course Tomato & Mascarpone Tart, Smoked Aubergine, Courgettes and a beef and pulled pork burger. I was a bit disappointed by the burger to be honest: I understand the patty is handmade and I've asked for a medium rare, it was still pink but was a bit dry, and not very tasty. Overall the burger was a bit insipid, very bland. My other half really enjoyed the dessert : Chocolate mousse.

Enjoyed lunch in the fantastic new surroundings that is now ‘The Hanger’ Service was great from arrival to leaving, and was faultless. Great choice menu. I had a halibut/ smoked haddock bar snack starter followed by pie of the day main. Delicious. My partner enjoyed a partridge based starter and had venison wellington. The presentation of both was great on the eye, slightly missed on the taste with the main. We would definitely recommend and return ourselves.

Lovely setting - decor - quality food and service 🐕‍🦺 friendly area

Terrific pub, totally updated from my last visit a decade or more ago. Great staff, food we had was excellent. We sat in the bar which was very comfortable. Very clean everywhere.

We absolutely love this place. The food is absolutely sublime, the staff are so friendly. The changing menu makes it so you can try new foods on a regular basis and the deal they have on a Wednesday is very reasonable. If you are in the area it's a must visit for dinner.

We came here as a family of four and had the best time. The food was totally delicious, service fantastic and the setting was gorgeous. Attention to detail in every area and we were made to feel very welcome. So many thanks to the whole team and a special thanks to Clare and Fran x

Very nice setting and a great selection of food in a lovely village.

Pretty amazing food (you've gotta try the Scotch Egg, it's fabulously different) real ale and great service.

We all thoroughly enjoyed our lunch today - a bit pricey for the provinces perhaps, but such a change (and a joy) to be able to choose from inventive dishes one would never dream of making at home, all beautifully cooked and presented. Recommended!

Very nice place. Food is outstanding and service next to none

Beautiful little hidden gem! Clean, beautifully presented Gastro pub. Food menu is insane, took ages to decide what to have. Settled for the burger, but boy was I pleasantly surprised. Loved it! Thanks for having us ☺️

We came back to The Hanger after a couple of years away and we weren't disappointed. We brought my in-laws who had never been and they were really impressed. Service was excellent and the food really top notch. 3 of us had the Wednesday deal....a meal from a section of the menu plus a drink for only £17.50. The beef burger was one of the best we've ever had. The scotch egg and croque madame starter were great too. Really lovely experience and we definitely won't be waiting so long to go back.

Have been wanting to go to The Hanger for months. Didn’t disappoint - the food,staff and ambience were all first class. AND the cocktails best we’ve had

Great lunch, amazing menu, will be back!

Lovely food, great atmosphere and service.

First off - this place isn't _that_ hard to find - I used Google maps and got there directly, the friend I was meeting used Google maps and found a road closed that seemingly wasn't picked up but he parked and walked and still made it on time - no worries there. The restaurant and bar are tastefully and modernly decorated, clean and tidy. There does, however, seem to be a fly problem and this does detract from a peaceful dining experience - the venue is clearly aware of this and have "fly scarers" (rotating shiny things) dotted around the place - I had to ask for one for our table though and the table next to us also requested one after they heard what they were for. Unfortunately this didn't prevent a fly ending up in a terminal backstroke in my co-diners wine glass - you can choose how picky you are about these things - but IMHO it takes the edge off enough for a non-5 star review. The food was good - I personally thought the "Crab Brulé" was superb, but was left a little underwhelmed after that with the fish (a little under seasoned - no salt or pepper on table) and the sticky toffee pudding which was OK but definitely needed more ice cream/cream to balance the dish. My dining companions were satisfied with their meals, but not blown away - again, nothing "wrong" per se, but just not quite 5 star worthy.

Excellent Sunday roasts and service was great - dog friendly too which is nice All food presented beautifully and tasted amazing will be coming back for sure

Sunday lunch with friends …..lovely food nicely cooked.good choices on the menu .generous portions.highly recommended.

Saturday lunchtime visit to The Hanger for two adults and two children (and a dog). Sat in the bar area, atmosphere was great, food was outstanding - loved the selection of bar snacks we had as our starters! The kids (9 and 6) loved trying some of our food - especially the scotch egg and roasted broccoli but also thoroughly enjoyed their meals which were of an excellent standard - the massive added bonus being that kids currently eat free during August. Everything was sick high quality - also had an amazing coconut margarita and can’t wait to go back! Thoroughly recommend to everyone near and far!

Good place to eat and a comfortable atmosphere. In the dining room, the sun does shine straight into your eyes through the high glass wall, I suggest jumping ahead of your companion diner and let them face the sun ;-)

Excellent all round!!! Greeting to farewells, the team were friendly, attentive and efficient. All our food was really well prepared and presented, and the flavours well above expectation. I cannot recall a better meal even at high class City restaurants, superb Cod!!! As a real...

Loved the decor of the restaurant - very light and very spacious. The staff were very welcoming and attentive but not pushy in any way. Four of us all enjoyed the excellent and plentiful lunch. In current climate good value.

Couple of very noisy tables in main dinning room made conversation very difficult.

Nice pub decor lovely I just didn’t like the food much , maybe went on a bad night but burger was dry and crumbly and didn’t like the chocolate moose was very rich and runny not much like a moose My friend enjoyed her spritzer seemed quite a high price though

Exceptionally good Sunday roast

Spit and polish and such a nice pub, staff and atmosphere

First time here and not disappointed. Had to dodge roadworks to get there. Lovely environment, lovely staff, and quality food. Shared an unusual mackerel fillet starter, then a daily special , dressed crab , salad and warm new potatoes. Really nice with a bottle of...

Booked for a birthday and our anniversary. Lovely refurbished pub, very clean and looked after dining area. The food is priced competively and extremely well presented and really tasty.

Tastefully modernised old pub. Food was great with varying prices. Highly recommended.

The best pub around by far!! Amazing food, attentive and welcoming staff. A brilliant overall experience. We would definitely recommend.

Good food, friendly staff..... Can't really ask for anything more. Nice spot for lunch, was quite quiet too but imagining that was because it was a weekday lunchtime?.. imagine it would get pretty busy & you'd need to book. Definitely worth a try.

Expensive for a roast dinner😥 but a nice venue and service

Went there for a private party, staff couldn't do enough for us,food was lovely, had a great evening.

Restaurant food is top notch, although I was disappointed by a bar snack as a starter. It's a great location with friendly staff. We will be going back.

Called in here for a cheeky lunch after a recommendation for the chaps at TMC, having just bought a new(to me ) truck I needed a drink to get over the shock 😂😂😂, we got there 11:59 and received a very warm welcome, having our...

Excellent dinner food was fantastic. Tarte tatin best dessert we've had in a pub for a long time. Only downer was the lager options not to my taste but we can't wait to come back

Been a while since I've had food and service as good as it was today Really well done 👍👍👍

Not over impressed, expensive and too much messing with classic food.

Called in at The Hanger while walking in the area and looking for somewhere to stop in with our dogs Immediately upon arriving we were made to feel welcomed, reassured that our dogs (although a little mucky) were welcome, and shown to a seat in the bar area. Our drink orders were taken immediately and food menus supplied. The waitress was the perfect balance of attentive without being overbearing and seemed to know the menu very well, offering her recommendations when we were unsure. The food was absolutely incredible, both myself and my Mum had the soup of the day (nettle and potato) and I'd be hard pressed to think of a soup I've had out that's nicer. I then had the spectacular steak and ale pie, and chocolate mousse for dessert. Definitely worth calling in on the way past, and we will be coming again (even if it means travelling to do so)

Had Sunday lunch here today. Wow. Such a generous serving, (rarely seen nowadays) excellent beef and loads of veg oh and the crispy potatoes ...! Definitely will return.

Booked for Pie and Pint for £15 Wednesday, and it didn’t disappoint. Pie was stunning, and you could tell everything was homemade. Staff were really friendly and attentive. Will 100% be returning for more pies and to try other parts of the menu! Sticky Toffee pudding was also a winner!

WE have been here many times for food and even more for a quick drink! The newly refurbished pub has been completed to an excellent standard and really creates a nice atmosphere dine and socialise in. The service was attentive and the food was excellent - no issues at all. There is a good selection of local ales and popular lagers as well as plenty of spirits!! The beer garden is split into two, one at the side (excellent for watching the world pass by!) and one at the back, which is small compared to other pubs in the area however this has never stopped us getting a seat. If you have visited this pub pre-refurbishment (formally the Red Lion) I would recommend visiting again as the improvements make it unrecognisable from what drab and dingy place it once was.

Lovely food and great,friendly staff.

Visited whilst staying nearby on a weekend break. Ridiculously good burger, staff were friendly and inviting and made you feel welcome. The pub itself was clean and tidy and had a good playlist. We loved our visit and said they were the best burgers we’ve ever had!

Superb Sunday roast, the porchetta had great flavour and perfect crackling. Delicious gravy and all the sides were spot on - roasties, Yorkshire pud, cauliflower cheese and various other veg. Elegant and comfortable dining area and great service too what a treat ☺️

We arrived too late to eat and left not trying anything.

Fresh & very professional management. Food will surely entertain you.

Lovely light and airy room, friendly staff, excellent food. Will definitely return.

Went for a mother's day meal yesterday and i have to say the food was amazing. We had several starters that we all shared and each had a roast. The food was hot fresh and extremely tasty. I would also like to say well done to all the staff. It was a very calm, chilled experience. I have worked within pubs and restaurants myself and know how hard a day like that can be so I applaud you for all you accomplished yesterday. Well done.

Went for mother's day lunch friendly welcome food was very good if not overpriced I felt for a special occasion it lacked atmosphere

Had a fantastic meal for Mother’s Day today food was amazing thank bar staff outstanding customer service Manager was so helpful and chefs out standing Nothing to much trouble ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Best Roost dinner I have had for a long time ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Visited the hanger for the second time today and it was even better than the first. The scotch egg with tarragon oil was incredible and the truffled rarebit I could eat every day for the rest of my life. All of the food was outstanding,...

1st time to the Hanger. We were made very welcome as we had not booked. We all enjoyed our food very much and a very good choice.

First (but not the last) visit. Food was superb. After much deliberation I went for the Katsu Ling and it was excellent. Dessert also lived up to the high standards the owners have set. The pub itself is very well presented and new looking. Toilets were immaculate. Can't wait to visit again.

Wow! Went to The Hanger for Sunday lunch and it was fantastic, easily the best roast I’ve ever eaten at a restaurant, the “Duck Slider” bar snack was absolutely fantastic, I could have easily eaten 3 or 4 of them! The staff were super friendly...

The family all say you can’t get a good roast out but we have been proven wrong today. From arrival to leaving the service was 1st Class. Everyone who looked after us were friendly, happy and attentive. The food was amazing. The roast beef just...

Can’t say anything other than the Sunday lunch is absolutely fantastic and the best I’ve had in a long time, the chefs are clearly highly skilled and know what’s they are doing, I’d implore anyone who likes duck to try the “duck slider” bar snack, I could of eaten about 4 of them, the staff were all friendly and attentive, we will definitely be back.

We had the most fantastic Valentines meal. Wonderful 24oz prime rib with chicken fat mash, chips, onions rings, red wine jus, peppercorn sauce and rocket salad to share it was delicious. Staff were fantastic and very friendly. Decor and atmosphere is lovely. Will definitely return.

Very nice place to celebrate a 60th birthday. Super food, packed with flavour. Very good decor, and good, attentive service

Really creative menu. So unusual. Excellent service and ambience. We were really surprised - had just expected a posh burger! Most definitely worth a visit.

Great friendly staff, delicious food, nice, clean, and bright restaurant with nice art works! Location is also great.

It just gets better and better after our latest visit where we were spoilt with some fantastic food. I had the fish Katsu with potato terrine, cod cheek & mussel skewer & fried lotus root……what an amazing dish with different but complimentary flavours & textures....

Really excellent unusual menu. Staff very attentive. Fresh flowers on tables. Crazy art work. Loos spotless. Go out if your way to visit.

Amazing food and service, great place, handled our large table of seventeen with style and professionalism. Roast lunch was terrific. Proper food cooked expertly. Really professional friendly service. Lovely room and terrific modern art collection. We will be coming back very soon. Congratulations I am...

What a lovely discovery. Friendly helpful staff. Fabulous chefy food, well presented, generous and tasty. We sat in the cosy but still stylish bar area as we had our dog with us who was also well welcomed. The main restaurant looks so nice too.

We came For a Boxing Day meal just myself and my husband. As always the food was amazing. The place is friendly. The chairs are comfy: staff are polite. Thank you again for a lovely meal.

Super meal will definitely be back

The most awesome place for a nice meal and great service. All the staff were amazing

Visited the Hanger for our office Christmas lunch this year. The food (Christmas menu) & service were excellent - nothing to fault & the menu was great value for money. Restaurant itself could have been a touch warmer.

Amazing food with a great range of innovative dishes including game pie with blackpudding, and fantastic butternut water pie!

Beautiful, eclectic decor, fabulous service from Claire and a top roast! Two very hungry Vickery’s well looked after and fed! Thanks Fran, Claire and team!

Just out for a drive and popped for lunch in on recommendation from a friend. Highligths - Generous size Smokey tasting Burger. Fish and Chips great , came with curry sauce. Not so great - Slightly small portion of fish - (but was Coley) ,...

Lovely pub. Food was good and great service. Definitely recommend a visit
