This was our annual family Christmas meal. The six of us meet up to enjoy a meal together before places get to busy, but enjoy great food. This was the third time of visiting The Hatchet at Christmas. The food and service was great as always. The only hiccup was using the third party booking system. We had booked and had confirmation email and a follow up email checking we still wanted the booking, but on arrival the booking hadn’t been forwarded to the pub. The staff were friendly and helpful to make up an emergency table for us. So I would recommend calling the pub to make your booking.

Absolutely outstanding food! Probably the nicest meal I’ve ever eaten. One vegan, one veggie and one meat eater. Sadly the pub was quiet which it doesn’t deserve to be, but the staff were friendly, and the service was great,

On holiday, my sister, husband and ourselves choose The Hatchet Inn for a meal, the staff were super friendly, the chef Lee, his food is beyond excellent, we all had sea bream with a delicious lemon sauce, after Lee came out and chatted to us asking us what we would like with the sea bream and making suggestions. The starter of scallops according to my brother in law were delicious, previously told Lee that he wasn’t quite happy with the way he cooked them at home to be invited into the kitchen to watch his been cooked, how many chefs would do that? The prawn cocktail was also good. The main course of the sea bream was superb with new potatoes and salad. Best Eaton mess l have ever had, so creamy and lovely fresh strawberries sauce and plenty of strawberries. Whilst waiting we were treated to home made crisps The meal was so good we returned the next evening. My sister and husband declared the halibut the best, l had the lamb, salad and chips, the chips were chunky lovely and crispy on the outside and fluffy inside, my husband had the mushroom, Brie and cranberry Wellington, equally as delicious.

This is an excellent place to eat at incredible prices. The staff are excellent and welcoming especially Lee the chef who comes out and chats to you. He even showed my husband how to cook scallops perfectly. A no 1 place to eat if you are in the area,

So happy to be able to give a positive review to this lovely inn after my last review in February. We visited for lunch and I have to say the meals were really good, very tasty and well presented, the two specials were great a mackerel nicoise salad and bream with lemon, capers and new potatoes. Our friends had the sausage and mash that came with a lovely gravy and a filled jacket potato. So pleased things are back where they used to be food wise. The real ales on offer were as good as ever. Lovely to have a word with the chef after our meals, thank you.

I hadn't visited The Hatchet for nearly 15 years, refreshingly it still looked at felt like a proper country pub. Our party of 4 received a warm friendly welcome from the staff, and invited to pick a table, it was lunchtime but sadly we were the only customers eating, a couple of locals had a drink and left. We ordered 2 mackerel, one pie, and sausage and mash,meals were served with the relevant potatoes, chips, small jackets or mash, the bowl of fresh mixed vegetables served with 2 of the meals was delicious, everything fresh, cooked to perfection. Everyone really enjoyed their various main course with its tasty sauce or excellent gravy. We were asked how the meal was, even the chef came to ask our opinion. I do not normally comment on food reviews but felt on this occasion, the staff and pub deserve a positive review. The chef told us he was new to the pub and was working hard to build business, opening more hours etc. Well, you certainly got the thumbs up from us. Well worth a visit,and great value for money. Good luck to you all. Cheers.

We booked a table for 6 of us plus a dog for a birthday meal after visiting the same venue a year ago when camping locally. Although the management and chef had changed the pleasant welcome was the same. The pub is beautiful and the food was fantastic. 2 of us had ribs to die for, 2 had lamb steaks, one had salmon and one had sea bream. Great value for money. To top it off we had a member of the party who had a seriously sprained ankle and we couldn't get a taxi so the manager took 3 of us back to the site without accepting anything. What a great advert for the pub. Will definitely return 👍🤩

Just poor! The menu was pretty awful and did not resemble the reviews we'd read. What was on offer was pretty similar to a cheap pub chain. Every starter was something from a wholesalers freezer bag and the main menu was very similar. Our main courses comprised frozen breadcrumb sole, a similarly produced wholesalers frozen vegetarian pastry thing and the final choice from the pretty grim set of menu choices was a rack of ribs with a dreadful offering of mass produced coleslaw and undercooked chips. Wccomplishments compised soggy mixed veg or frozen peas. The door from the kitchen look left open with all the noise coming into our small overspill dining area added to the ambience. Just a poor experience that we will not revisit.

We have been regular visitors to this pub for years and sorry to say things have gone downhill recently. Only one real ale bitter available today apart from a dark winter ale which was not to our taste. The menu has been well and truly shortened, no baguettes or ciabattas, no omelettes and the main courses are more expensive. I realise prices have gone up, I only have to look at my weekly shopping bill to see this. But here prices have gone up but quality of meals has gone down. So sad we used to love this pub but it seems like no one cares any more about the quality of the food and real ales.

My family and I were camping nearby and we were recommended this pub for dinner, we had other dinner plans all week but finally made it for Sunday lunch on our last day. How very disappointing we didn't find it sooner, as I think I would have wanted to eat there every day.The food is amazing, classic pub fayre all homemade and beautifully presented.My husband has the roast lamb, at £9.95 what a bargain. I had the chicken pie, which was huge and our son had a children's meal of sausage, mash and gravy, with a free ice cream, which was so tasty and clearly not the usual cheapest roughest ice cream to dish out to kids, this made £4.95 almost cheaper than making it at home! It was great to see that the kids menu didn't just consist of nuggets and chips, but offered homemade cottage pie and even mini toad in the hole. All the staff were friendly, attentive and seemed to be completely on board with the cleaning and social distancing. The whole pub has clear guidance for track and trace, one way systems and face covering worn by all staff.Its lovely to see that a small local pub can do so well, and have made cracking efforts to keep calm and carry on serving! Thank you for having us, hopefully we can get back soon, stay safe Hatchett!

Went with a cycling group for a light lunch on a cold wet day. The Hatchet was very welcoming and had a wide variety of tempting offerings. The light lunch option quickly turned to more substantial warming food for many of us. The pub was fairly busy with lunch trade. Nevertheless it coped well, and welcomely quickly, with our wide choices - from soup and a sandwich to cod & chips, curries and other traditional pub fare. Much of it was home cooked and there was very little left on the plates. The pub had provided excellent service for us and as we left to face more wind and rain we congratulated our ride leader on her choice of lunch venue

Two of us arrived at 6.30 to an already busy bar with locals drinking at the bar and numerous diners already well into their meals. We enjoyed a perfect pint in the bar and at 6.45 we were informed our table would be available within a few minutes, an early party having just departed.

We were shopping in Southampton late last Saturday afternoon and although we had planned to eat out didn’t fancy any of the shopping centre eateries. I saw this place was on our way home so phoned for a table for 2 at 6.50 and we arrived at 7.15pm. The place was busy with locals having a drink and several parties of early diners but we were served drinks and seated at a cosy corner table and had an excellent meal. I ordered the pork medallions which was a special and it was delicious - not at all tough as pork can be if not cooked properly. We had a bit of a wait but given they were busy and clearly the food was freshly cooked (accompanying veg arrived piping hot and cooked perfectly) it was reasonable. The bill was £30 for 2 drinks and 2 mains. This place is a straight forward village pub serving great food without having had a decor makeover - it has a traditional pub feel and it’s fine just as it is. We will be going back with the dog and children!

We found this place by chance on our way back from Salisbury. The food was good (we chose the traditional pies) and we had enough with one dish. This place was full of local people and we were the only tourists. I would recommend this inn.

This pub is a real gem. Quite a traditional country inn. The staff are really friendly. Food was good, well prepared and cooked with attention to detail (an improvement from a few years ago when the food seemed a bit mass produced). The beer was fine with a selection of hand pump real ales, at least a couple of ciders and largers.

If you want standard pub grub that you would just normally eat at home but bigger portions. The glasses (see pic) actually smelled of all the previous lips that had passed over them and felt like they had a good millimetre of 'extra' around the rim when putting to the lips. Not bad really, just please, give the glasses a good clean.

The food served, the service and the drinks are consistently first class, and always astonishing value for money. We visit from time time. Last Wednesday 24th July was exceptional however. We ordered a specific menu. They were only too pleased to provide it, and to a high standard. The staff are efficient and friendly; nothing is too much trouble. The pub is always busy and has terrific ambience

We paid a lovely relaxed visit yesterday evening for a family treat on our camping break nearby. I remembered the great food and friendly atmosphere from last year so our one meal out was already decided to be here again. Great choice on the menu, almost spoilt for choice but the steak was too tempting. Food didn’t disappoint and my steak in particular was perfectly cooked to my request, lovely fresh salad and chips. Can’t vouch for the rest of the family but plates were clean at the end of the meal, so that can only be good!

We went on Thursday which is steak night, 8 of us had steaks and all were cooked very well, the staff could not do enough for us, highly recommend this pub for the quality of food. Also as a massive plus they have a great family play area.

White Horse Romsey Afternoon Tealocation-iconMarket PlaceBritish

Came In for my best friend and mums birthdays which we had stated in our booking, we arrived 10 mins early and were shown to our table. It then took 40 minutes for us to get a tea and coffee and 50 minutes to be served our afternoon tea. There was no one around to ask for further drinks or water etc, all the staff were completely out of sight and when we were served our food and drink they seemed in a rush to get us out of the way. Very disappointed as we had been here before and it was excellent but this time it really did disappoint.

Visitado Villarrobledo con mi hija hoy y en este encantador salón de té. Pedimos un té de la tarde para dos y estuve gratamente sorprendido por la cantidad y calidad siempre a un precio moderado en comparación a las instalaciones cercanas. Una enorme taza de té con leche vino servido en un divertido jarra de leche de elefante, una ronda de bocadillos cada uno desde la elección de la junta, TUVE Camembert y arándanos mientras mi hija se hizo con pan jamón tanto marrón. El pan era delicioso y tan fresco y rellenos eran preciosas. Dos scones acompañados por de mermelada de fresa y crema cuajada y dos rebanadas de pastel de su elección. La tarta de limón era absolutamente excelentes para probar. El personal era amable y servicial, y nos pareció que la adición de Trivial Pursuit tarjetas en la mesa para que sea divertido e informativo. Muy agradable en todos los aspectos y estamos seguros de volver pronto.

Been here several times, but this was our first Sunday lunch , we were in the conservatory , though busy the tables were a good distance apart ! EXCELLENT , food , service , ambiance and the whole experience ,including the value for money ! We opted for the Sunday roast from the carvery , beef, pork or Turkey , fantastic choice of vegetable and the biggest Yorkshire puddings you could wish for ! Highly recommended 👍 P.S. Gravy was to die for 👌
