The Hawk Inn in Test Valley

Lovely country pub. Very friendly Landlady who cannot do enough for you! A fountain of knowledge & care. The food is very good & the service team are well trained & friendly. This is definitely a pub for repeat visits.

Great food. Kids menu. Recommend the Sunday roasts!! Nice location.

Visited the Hawk Inn after an evening cycling race at the Thruxton circuit. Lovely, friendly and welcoming staff, good atmosphere and tasty pub food. My husband had a burger and I had chicken souvlaki which was freshly prepared and very tasty.

Lovely place but food wasn't the best however we were told the chef hadn't arrived yet so not sure who made our meals. The staff are lovely though and the outside filed is really nice to sit in when the weather is nice

Good quality food & interesting menu but quite slow service

Stunning pub and amazing food. Fisk and chips were the best I've had for a while. Upgrade your roast if you wish, I've tried this some weeks back wow. New Manager and staff attentive and friendly. Give it a go but book as it gets really busy. Dog friendly!

My children booked for Mother’s Day, we pre ordered as we knew it would be very busy. We arrived slightly earlier than our time slot (5pm), we were advised on arrival that food was running approximately 60 mins late due to having major issues with the electric tripping all day which obviously had a huge knock on effect to the cooking and service delivery. The staff were doing their best in a totally unforeseen situation. We were seated just prior to our booked time and drinks orders were taken, some of us decided to go to the bar as the waiting staff were snowed under and this was not a problem for us. We were a party of 11 so the drinks order would likely have taken a while. In all honestly we did wait for around 30 minutes prior to our first course to arrive, however, due to the issues we were aware and this did not phase us. I have seen some negative reviews for Mother’s Day and can honestly say our food was amazing, the team ensured we were kept informed of when our food/drinks (for those that ordered to the table) would arrive. The food was amazing, hot, tasting delicious and great portion sizes. Charlotte and team, well done to you all on what must have been an absolutely stressful day. Despite negative reviews, there was not an empty seat or table in the pub, on the patio out front or across the road where your outside/garden tables are situated. Thank you as always for a great service ☺️

Love this place been coming here since I was a nipper back in the day when it was the Amport Inn. Cracking location, lovely old pub. But something has changed!? The staff were trying their best and the food was on point when it arrived. But we waited ninety minutes for our food to turn up, we were cool no dramas we understand coming from a hospitality background. But we had to go to the bar to get our own drinks and over heard some people waiting over two hours for their food. Like I said the team were at full capacity and it was Mothering Sunday so yeah we get it, people were still coming in and getting seated. We later over heard that the booking system is out sourced, ie you ring and book or book online you’re not actually talking to the pub staff. The pub was over booked and the kitchen was under too much pressure!! Upham Inns, what would you rather have, two hundred covers and lots of unhappy customers and your team having to give discounts left right and center or one hundred and fifty/sixty covers and happy customers that are going to come back? Plus it’s not fair on your team, they were at breaking point!! Please listen to you customers (there are plenty of similar reviews) and to your staff. Like I said grate food in the end and we appreciated the staff. All the best to the manager for trying her utmost to keep everyone happy 🙏🏻

My son booked for Mother's Day for all the family to celebrate. Deposit payed. Our booking was at 17:15 and at 19;30 we were still waiting for our food. At which point my son asked for his deposit back minus the drinks, and we all left without food. I do not recommend it. Spolit my special day.

Terrific pit stop meal, genuinely interesting food, kind and attentive staff, slightly expensive. Would return nonetheless.

This is the second time of trying the Sunday roast and both times the food has been amazing but the service has let the place down. First time it was busy and we ordered a starter and main and then waited about 40 mins for the starter(olives and breads) and then a further hour for the mains 2 Sunday roasts but thought as it was busy I'd give them the benefit of the doubt. The second time I'd booked a bit earlier 1pm as I thought it would be better....... ooh boy was I wrong. After giving our drinks and food order( no starters this time) we sat waiting 20mins for drinks to finally arrive and we'd finished them and was joking about it always takes a hour to serve food when one of the waiting staff came over as they'd lost our order and would have to start again.... a long story short but we didn't leave till gone 5 after our Sunday roast for 3 and 3 desserts (in 4 hours). And they still put on the obligatory tip which I thought was a bit of a cheek considering we'd been there since 1.i wasn't expecting fast food but service could be better. Food excellent quality and taste but service letting everything down

Only popped in for a few drinks on a walk through the area. Friendly staff, great location and cold beer. It has accomadation and meals.

Booked for 4 of us with 2 dogs to have lunch. Menu looked good online and we were very much looking forward to it. We are seated in the back next to a walkway, which was fine if not ideal with two spaniels who like to say hello to everyone. After around 10 minutes a gentleman came to take drink orders. He seemed a little flustered and also told us to keep the dogs away from him as he had a dog allergy, which questions why a pub that pushes the fact they are dog friendly would get someone to wait on the table with dogs.. Ordered two pints of cider to be told there was no draft cider, which happens. He then didn’t know what bottled cider there was and went to the bar and came back with a choice of one fruit cider. I never checked if there any proper ciders myself and we just ordered 2 lagers. There was also a cocktail ordered and a Coke. He took the order, returned a few minutes later to let us know they didn’t have the ingredients for the cocktail. Another cocktail was ordered that they could apparently make. Slightly unfortunate that when the cocktail arrived, it tasted nothing like it should and was mainly water. The drink was remade in another glass so no harm done. While looking at the menu, it became clear that the online pdf was different from the menu in the pub. We eventually order and then waited around 40 mins for our food, the pub was busy so no problem with that. When the food arrived the presentation was underwhelming to say the least. Scampi was warm at best, eggs had been cooked in too hot oil resulting in burned bottoms and gloopy tops, burger buns were burned on the inside. It was edible, we were hungry and to be honest, just wanted to eat and go. When someone came to clear the table we were asked if everything was ok, just about to discuss what wasn’t ok but the server disappeared with the plates before we could speak. £120 for basic badly cooked food, poor service and not the greatest environment. Suffice to say we will not be returning. What makes it a little sad is we had breakfast here a few months ago and it was lovely. It may have been that they were just too busy and couldn’t cope. Not a great experience.

We visited the Hawk yesterday to celebrate a friend's retirement and after recommending the Hawk as an excellent place for a meal and service I was left very disappointed with the customer service, the attitude of the staff and the quality of the food. We waited 45 minutes to get a drinks order and when we said how thirsty we were to lighten the mood the response from the bar manager was "so am I" no apology or any form of explanation. We then waited a further 30 minutes to get our food order taken, a further 30 minutes for our starters to arrive and after over 2hrs we received our main meals. Again no apology from the rude food server, no explanation just poor attitude. There was a new starter on day one of her new job role who was the only one in the pub with any empathy to the poor poor service. The food once arrived was below the usual standards and our friend who was Veegan was told that his pie was "ham" although this was corrected, he was sure there was meat based gravy on his plate. All served and corrected, again with no apology. Our friend who lives in the village was left embarrassed by this entirely unacceptable experience, with absolutely no remorse from the rude food server or bar manager. Such a shame as the Hawk was always at the top of my list to visit. Stay away if this team is working !!!!

Had a great stay here, wonderful staff especially Charlotte who could not have been more helpful and a lovely relaxed atmosphere. Would definitely stay here again.

Massive thank you again, last time i wrote this; Id say this a a 7 star place, super quality food (sooo try the pork chop) with loverly room too. Staff super nice too. This time even better with the new team, big thank you to Bella who was fab, fully recommend this place 10/10

We met friends here, and first time first impressions good. Drinks good price food nice hot tasty Service a little slow but we were ok with this being we were chatting and definitely didn't feel rushed thought this was a Saturday at 12.30 staff friendly

Very easy checkin and out, room was OK.. bathroom was a bit dated..

The menu was very good the food we had was very good. The service was a bit slow as I could only see 1 team member trying Todo everything. Shame as it took to long so did not order puddings was in a party of 6. For birthday.

Great country pub. Lots of outside seating.

Really friendly and attentive service from both Luana and Mads. Overall our food was great but Luana's fish and chips recommendation was excellent. Thank you for such an enjoyable evening.

Went with the family to celebrate a birthday, unfortunately wish we hadn't. Have been coming here for quite a few years and each time it seems to be worse than the previous time. The beef that we were given was so tough it was a struggle to cut and one guest had a long dark hair in the food, so got sent back. The only redeeming factor was the young lady serving us was very sweet, professional and very apologetic. We won't be coming back, the place hasn't been the same since Yvonne and Duncan (chefs) left.

Having read rave reviews about the food here I was looking forward to lunch. However, I was very disappointed with the quality of food and the prices - £17 for a hard vegetarian flatbread covered in an unpleasant sauce from a jar, a couple of bits of beetroot and a massive pile of lettuce. It was not good so I left most of it. My companion's chicken burger was slightly better but nothing special and a small portion for the price. Chips were nice. Service was slow but OK. Loads of noisy kids around. Won't be back which is a shame as the setting is lovely.

Charlie was brilliant nothing was too much trouble kind caring asset to the Hawk.

It was a bit of a wait, but apparently, they were training new staff. It was our first visit but the food was great and the atmosphere nice

My husband and I booked a table 2pm on 27/12/2024 after our daughter and her boyfriend stayed there in 2022 and had a lovely experience. Unfortunately ours was not, it was very busy and on arrival we were taken to our table and didn't see a waitress again for a further 25 minutes. Our order was taken and we waited, when my veggie burger and my husbands meat burger arrived we were both surprised at how sml the brioche buns were, it looked more like a childs size meal. The veggie burger was very unimaginative and wasn't even that tasty, I left half of it. 5/10 from me. Definitely not worth £16. Hubby said his burger was ok but not great. 7/10 from him. Definitely not worth nearly £20. Halfway through our meal we asked for another pint for my husband, 30 mins later when we were ready to leave it still hadn't arrived but was on the bill when we asked for it, also I had a tiny splash of lemonade in my sml white wine yet I was charged for half a pint. Needless to say we shant be returning. Shame as nicely decorated and a lovely village setting.

Nice clean modern pub. Really great Sunday roast! The service was also great. Highly recommend this place. The roast chicken was moist and perfectly cooked, it came with a massive Yorkshire Pudding! Could have done with more gravy, which I'm sure they would have given us if I had asked.

Great food. We ate here for 2 nights and all thoroughly enjoyed. Menu choice was good , something for everyone. Breakfast was also great, again plenty to choose from. Service was great. Thanks

We rang ten minutes before we turned up to see if there was a table. Unfortunately, the person to whom we spoke hadn't communicated this to staff, who were somewhat thrown. After that blip, we had a lovely experience: staff were friendly and hard-working and the food was really delicious. We like, too, that there is a policy of sharing tips equally between staff. We would definitely return but would also definitely book!

Beautiful location and excellent food every time!

UPDATE: The manager Rob answered our review asking us to email him. We did so twice since Xmas 2024, and to date NO reply. The email response is as bad and deceptive as the in pub service. Seriously need to report these guys to thr ombudsman for pubs! Clearly Robs response was for the public and not the customers. Awful service. January 2025. We ordered lunch and received it two hours later for our dinner. For my dads 80th birthday. No apology. No recompense.

Stayed one night B&B with dinner package. Lovely rustic room but meal and service was abysmal. Ordered wine with meal which I had to eventually collect from the bar, food was unedable (see photos) and cold. Generally had to rugby tackle staff to get servics. Complained but manager simple said he would have a word with the staff. Breakfast was nice which saved 1 star.

Great find on way to holiday let. Nice location and friendly staff only gripe was food a bit slow coming out and not all menu was available. But all in all nice place would recommended.

Absolutely fantastic location and place, really enjoyed our one night stay and would 100 percent book to stay again when we are in the area. keep up the good work guys

Great food, Awful service. Had a table booked for 7pm our mains didn't appear until gone 8:30. The person serving us came across as they had no interest in serving us or anyone else. Gave up on desert as it just wasn't worth waiting around for. Had to ask multiple times for the bill then gave up and went to the bar to ask for it. I could understand if it was super busy but it wasn't. Didn't leave till 10pm. It's a real shame as the food genuinely was lovely but the service ruined what could have been a lovely dining experience.

This is a pub that can deliver a roast of excellence. Bravo.

Awful slow service every time I have visited (maybe 5 times in the past 2 years), the food is good which is why I have been back however I booked here for a Christmas meal and our order was never put through. After 1.15 hours I queried where are food was to be told the server did not put it through the system. I was advised the manager will be over to speak to us but never turned up, we then had to ask another 3 times if our food was coming, we arrived at 7.15pm and our food arrived at 9pm. Staff at the bar were more bothered about their conversation than helping our situation which normal here. Feedback is apparently given to staff but each time I go the service is terrible, I will also try to support local business and give a lot of chances as due to the climate I feel this is important however I wont be visiting or recommending anymore. My mother in law also attended this week and said how poor the food was and the service was again awful. I'd recommend actually speaking with the manager, if she had come over, apologised, offered something to tide us over we wouldn't have thought anything of it. At least the mishap was trying to be rectified but nothing, just ignored us. Real shame.

Fantastic atmosphere, lovely food and lovely location. Family get together with overnight stay. Room great value and service with a smile!

Christmas dinner with friends at The Hawk after hearing great reviews, Our experience was slightly different, too busy too noisy and the food was below standard. Roast turkey dinner consisted of 3 brussels sprouts, anemic parsnips, 3 soggy roast potatoes, a slice of hard stuffing, greasy dripping Yorkshire pudding and dry turkey served with non existing gravy, no extra on the side. Cauliflower cheese ordered as a side, was missing cheese, hard and totally bland. Service was very slow, which is understandable considering that they had clearly over booked the restaurant and therefore the quality and the delivery of the food suffered. The food was served was of the same quality I would expect in a cheap chain pub. I will not be visiting this pub again . If you are there on Christmas Day, good luck!

An absolute corker if an establishment. Excellent pint friendly staff and food that I thoroughly enjoy. Plenty of space. Lots of tables but with a good amount of room between. It has become our staff dining room. Because the menu allows for all tastes.

Had a Nice meal with the family at the Hawk Inn it had a good atmosphere the burgers were very nice and so was the fish and chips we had sweets that I thought were expensive for what we had but overall we enjoyed it and will return

Had a lovely pub lunch here with my family. The atmosphere was great, the food was good and the location was nice and rural. The pub is very dog friendly and even has dog treats at the bar! Service was a little slow, but it was a very busy Saturday lunchtime!

Sometimes a bit slow service (and added a tip when I paid at the bar and didn’t tell which was a bit cheeky) but overall the food is great, lovely atmosphere & pub garden. We didn’t come for about a year after they changed the menu but since they’ve bought back the chicken burger we’re back to being regulars!

Delicious Sunday lunch, loved the Holy Moley option.

5* for food and service - very enjoyable meal in a quintessentially relaxed old pub/restaurant environment. Family friendly all-round. Quality

Booked at late notice for an evening meal for 4 - we weren't disappointed. Good food, timely service, variety of choice. I had the tagine which was tasty and a good portion size and good value for money at £13:50.

Lovely food and great atmosphere. Food was very tasty, service was prompt and professional. I had a steak and it was cooked perfectly. The place is spotless and offers something for everyone’s taste. Would definitely come here again and can highly recommend it. Thank you Hawk inn.

Owls, red kites, kestrels, vultures and all. Great nuggets as well

Came for sister's birthday, had a fantastic meal. Well looked after by the staff. Will definitely come back here to eat again

We came here for a mid week lunch. The service wasn't attentive, so I wasn't happy with the automatic service charge. The burgers are expensive and don't come with any side salad or coleslaw unfortunately. The pork chop was very nice, but you have to purchase the sides separately! I find this quite annoying. We both wish we'd stuck to the tapas dishes, the ones we tried were very nice.

Went in for a meet up with friends. Tables were all prepared in advance and laid up for the right number of people. Clientele all very nice and friendly, as we're the serving staff. Food was top notch and everyone said they enjoyed their meals. For me the curried bratwurst starter was a little in the small side however the main, souvlaki on flatbread was a super size portion and more than made up for it. All food delicious and fresh. Pub is also super dog friendly as you might imagine given the location (close to middle of nowhere!). Atmosphere is chilled and quiet. Facilities were top notch.

Food tasted great, and the service was good but we felt £18 for fish & chips/ burger & chips is over priced. We’d be more likely to come back if the prices were more reasonable.

we had pre ordered a sunday menu a week or so in advance, and on the day we were told we had to change our picks as some of it wasn’t available on sundays. at no point prior did we get an email back from the pre order stating this mains were missing and slow / sporadic to come out, we also had a dessert missing despite pre ordering. the quality of the food was lovely however one or two staff members apologised for the wait / missing items, none of the rest did. we were a table of 20, and they had given us 4/5 seperate tables rather than a larger table of ones pushed together. overall the food wasn’t bad, but for the price we had paid we expected better service. also the address listed on the website takes you to the hawk sanctuary around the corner rather than the actual resteraunt

We recently dined at this pub, and while it looks a nice place to be in the service was incredibly disappointing. The waitresses seemed more interested in discussing their breaks than actually doing their jobs. We had to ask multiple times just to place our order, and even getting the bill was a hassle – something you wouldn’t expect from a pub that appears so inviting. The waiting time was painfully slow, and there was a general lack of attention to the customers. It’s a shame because the pub itself was lovely looking, but the service really lets it down.

Food was okay. Not amazing considering the price. Staff inattentive. Had to keep reminding staff to pay the bill etc. more concerned about what they were going to do in there lunch break rather than paying attention to paying customers.

What a fantastic find. The staff were outstanding, the grounds, ambience, warm and wonderful. The rooms, fully equipped with all you needs for a stay over. Food fantastic. Thank you so much, we had a great time and will be back. Lesley

never not been delighted with the food and service and am a regular visitor. Every time has been great. I would recommend this to anyone in the area looking for amazing food at reasonable price. If you're not sure and reading this just GO! 10/10

Great little find on the way home via A303. Lovely roast dinner!

Beautiful location, they serve very good tapas with a lovely smile

Spent a night here at The Hawk. A real gem, friendly staff, great food and a very comfortable room. The breakfast selection is excellent and mine was delicious. Highly recommended. I will visit again. Also... excellent motorcycling country roads.

Lively for a Wednesday evening. A really good variety of tapas and regular pub food. Excellent burger and souvlaki.

Great food for Sunday lunch. We also stayed at the bed and breakfast which was really nice. Would recommend the breakfast as well :)

Booked a table dispite the pub being fairly empty at before 5 we ordered and were warned it would be 45mins for food, no updates where given chased at the hour, told it would be 5 more minutes, 1 hour 25 minute food arrived. Food was nice avoided puddings. Got home to find I’d still been charged a 12.5% service charge. Service was poor with almost to many bar staff on and hanging around near the bar but not behind it. Unfortunately this the second time it’s been very slow, last time put it down to it being a works function and a large group. Lovely location, good food but poor service.

Have been to the Hawk on numerous occasions; on this occasion it was a celebratory lunch with two members of staff. The online booking tool worked smoothly. The lunch was excellent, I had the linguine with olives and artichokes which was delicious. We all enjoyed the food and the service. I am sure I will be back at the Hawk in the near future. The food is excellent.

We stayed for one night to make a weekend of a Hawk Conservancy visit. The room was stunning we were in, and we also had the Sunday roast which was amazing (having the option to get extra yorkshire puddings was nice :)). Would recommend.

We dined here in the evening, the restaurant was not busy at all, we ordered our food at 6.15pm but it didn’t arrive until gone 7pm. There were profuse apologies from the waiting staff and we also heard apologies for the table behind us but they were offered a free desert as well (no such offer to us). My dissatisfaction was compounded by the fact that a service charge was then still added to our bill (my fault to not query it as I didn’t have my reading glasses on & just assumed I could leave a cash tip at the table if I wished to). That said, the food was nice when it arrived and there was plenty of it (chicken slouvaki and scampi and chips) so would recommend on the food side but the service could be improved.

Hotel, location & staff were lovely. Food was good. Unfortunately the people in the next room completely ruined our stay. Room needs a deep clean.

Lovely hotel, location. Staff were great. Room was nice but needs a deep clean. Stay completely spoilt by noisy neighbours in the next room (not the hotels fault). Reported to manager who spoke to them but as soon as staff went home they turned their TV volume right up & wouldn't answer their door when I knocked it.

Very good Sunday lunch menu. Plenty of choice. I enjoyed my meal very much!

Excellent food (would recommend the tapas), friendly staff and good value.

Reasonable quality pub grub. Excellent service.

Brilliant lovely food and great staff

Nice location but so over priced it makes the drinks taste soured

Tapas Tuesday was simply an unexpected delight. Some of the nicest food we've eaten in a long time.

Great pub. Great food and great service.

5*'s. Food was excellent, as always. Staff friendly and helpful and ambiance was good.

Really great staff, I was impressed. Thank you.

Had a really nice meal here with some friends. The food and the setting is good, but the service was very slow. Good job we had plenty to talk about while we waited

Just spent the weekend here, fantastic time, room lovely, food very nice, want to say a big thank you to a lady called Sarah, really really helpful, would definitely stay here again 😊

We came here as a group for snacks and drinks after a long day, one of the bar staff Corrie was absolutely phenomenal at his job, really friendly and welcoming a constant smile on his face and overall a happy chappy!! Really impressed by the hawk inn and will solely be coming back because of his amazing customer service. Well done guys! You’ve hired the right people ☺️

Indifferent Service without a hint of a smile from staff who have clearly not been trained or managed properly. Badly kept beer, incorrectly made cocktail, absolutely awful food - Dry chicken, a few leaves of Iceberg Lettuce and a bit of onion for a "House Salad", Kofta's that were dry and clearly from Tesco's cheap BBQ range. And all massively overpriced! I can honestly say that this one of thE WORST EXPERIENCES we have had for a long time.

Came for a special birthday meal, food great. Girls are friendly. Service slow. Bill presented to us initially was completely wrong. We were honest it was wrong and took forever to get revised Bill. Would expect better with how much you charge for a Roast.

Great food and friendly staff, what more can you ask for?!

The rooms are very tired - no cleaning or tidying (I as there for 2 nights) and the soap, shampoo and conditioner has run out in the shower and had not been replaced. The staff were lovely and the food was good.

Great food and lovely cozy seating

A great place to stay. The room was very nice. The food was nice as well, there is room for improvement on the welcome service and the waiting times for the food. We did get a great deal using the discounts for kids and cocktail happy hour. There's on site parking available, suited for large vehicles.

Great menu - lots of things we liked making it hard to choose. So good to get beyond pub classics. And the food was delicious, as was coffee, though the latter was not v hot. We didn't stay overnight - just a pub lunch

We attended for a wedding. The venue was very pretty and the location is picturesque. The staff were lovely, and the evening meal was delicious, I can highly recommend the Beef Wellington. The drinks are a little on pricey side though. We didn't stay at the hotel but I'm told the rooms were nice. Will visit again when in the area.

service was slow for only 4 tables with two waitresses price was ok but for the added service charge with poor service is not worth it wifi is nonexistent

Staff here were very helpful when I came here with my work team. Nothing was too much trouble. Thank you.

Just ate in the restaurant, had cheese and bacon burger, chips, and BBQ sauce - very nice 👍🏻

Booked in for a family lunch on Easter Saturday... well - that was a waste of time and effort! Waited for 2 Calamari starters (despite reminders to the waitress) - they eventually arrived not only cold but totally inedible they were like stringy pieces of leather. We were never asked if more drinks were required - had to venture to the bar to order drinks. Fed up we requested the manager - no-one available... the pub had been left with (what appeared to be) inexperienced, unqualified staff who couldn't/wouldn't take responsibility. On a seperate issue the lavatories fell way, way below par - both gents urinals had black bin bags over them and the floors were badly stained. Needless to say after having a small moan to the young waitress we walked... In closing I will say we have eaten here before and it was alright - hence why we booked. On this latest visit shouldn't think we will return....

Lovely country pub, dog friendly, the room was comfy with everything you can possibly need, including dog treats in the corridors. Highly recommend!

Enjoyed the ambiance,cleanliness and the friendliness of the landlord(?) but the quality of the food wasn't great. Although i only had ham, egg and chips; the ham was quite tough and fatty and the eggs were overcooked.

The service was slightly slow and we had to ask for allergy menus when staff were aware of allergens in our party. Food was nice although could be a bit hotter. I think it was a busy time and an extra member of staff would have helped with better service.

We booked a table and paid the £15 deposit on mother's day. On our arrival there was no place to park so we had to wait for someone to leave in order to park in their space. Getting inside with a pushchair it was a mission as well. When we asked about our table we've been told is taken by some other people and we have to wait for them to leave. Just to make it clear this people were only having drinks. After 20 min we manage to get our table just to realise there were no chairs and no highchairs were available. My partner had to grab one chair from a different table. We had to go to the bar to order our food and drinks because nobody came around to take our order. Food was OK but definitely not worth £17. Portion was really small( 2 pieces of potatoes, 2 pieces of carrot and 2 pieces of parsnip) For dessert I ordered waffle ( again the order was placed at the bar) which was cold and chewy. Again not worth £10 Also the table next to us complained about the portion sizes.

We came for a birthday meal after family members raved about the place. Unfortunately we were left disappointed with our visit. We arrived and walked through the bar (stared at as we did by what we presume were regulars) greeted and shown to our table. The whole place was busy. We ordered our drinks and then food. We waited a while for our starters and then a while for our mains. We ordered more drinks after our starters and these arrived as we finished our mains. The food was mediocre. Houmous not homemade, mash was like the stuff you get pre made in a supermarket, the steak was tough, the coleslaw was awful and the truffle and parmesan fries just one big lump. We asked for the bill to find that the large white wine was charged at the most expensive glass on the menu! We paid and left, again stared at as we made out way to the exit. We won't be returning anytime soon and feel like we wasted £170!

It is 7.07pm , we had a 5,30 booking and are still waiting for food. Poor planning by management , under staffed, over priced.

I have been going to the Hawk on and off for years. Usually excellent but yesterday popped in for a quick lunch with my father. A simple order took well over an hour. Same for others. Busy but not massively so. They were clearly short staffed. Staff were gracious but not a great experience. Need to warn customers.
