The Landford Poacher in Wiltshire

Excellent service, excellent food,attentive service,best pub restaurant we have eaten in along time. Friendly staff, highly recommend.

Stayed here Brit stop. Welcoming pub, excellent food. Great friendly staff. On the edge of the New Forest. Well worth a visit.

The Poacher is a firm favourite great food cooked well and the portions are on the large side. Sunday they do a carvery which is very good value for money. Coupled with friendly attentive service we can’t rate this place highly enough. The only issue is if everyone goes there we will struggle to get a table.

Excellent friendly host, amazing food, well priced, Good menu. All staff are friendly and welcoming. A good stop off on our way to the New Forest

We were staying one night in Landford, and needed to have an evening meal with our large dog, we did not book, but even though the pub was very busy they managed to fit us in, along with our large dog, excellent food and great service, will definitely return next time we are in the area.

Just had the best paella ever, regularly visit Spain and this tops it hands down ! Overall the Poacher is without doubt the best, brilliant staff, brilliant food and always a great atmosphere for a get together with family or friends !

What a gem of a place this is!! We stayed in our campervan with our dog. We did ring ahead out of courtesy, and it was not a problem at all. Car park is relatively flat. We had the most amazing dinner and can’t recommend this place enough! Thank you!! Such an amazing team of people who are just so genuinely lovely and welcoming, as are the locals we met! If you do stay in your vehicle, please support this amazing establishment, and leave no trace! Paul, Kim and Tobi 🐾

Wow! What a lovely welcome we were given when we arrived with our Cockapoo, Lottie. We sat outside in the sunshine and Lottie was given a bowl of water. The food was so tasty, we can highly recommend the Korean chilli beef with Asian slaw and the beer battered Brie wedges with cranberry jam and salad, yummy!

I have just had the most amazing Sunday Roast dinner vegetables were very tasty and also plenty of meat. The staff were also very nice and the service was fantastic. I can’t recommend this pub enough

If you are looking for a Sunday lunch and staying in the local area you will not find a better Sunday Carvery than the Landford Poacher The portions are very generous the selection of vegetables amazing just remember to book early to avoid disappointment. Absolutely Fantastic 😊😊😊

Excellent food and service. Staff very friendly . Beef was delicious. Would definitely recommend for a Sunday lunch. .

We have had a great meal again. It was my husband's birthday, and there were balloons and Happy Birthday banners on the table for him. (He was delighted!!!🤣) Everything was perfect, as it was before. Its a very pleasant atmosphere, and everyone is friendly and welcoming. Food to 'die' for. THANKYOU MATT, AND YOUR CHEF AND YOUR MERRY BAND OF HELPERS. SEE YOU SOON!!!

Called in for lunch, met with a very welcoming member of staff, gave menus advised us of specials, drinks order taken, also food. Not a long wait and food was excellent, good portions, well cooked and extremely value for money. Were checked on to see if all was good. Had deserts, don’t usually, but they were exquisite Roulade and Bakewell tart. Was also advised people with small appetite could have just a starter or a starter and dessert, not many places would do this, so definitely the best place to go.

Lovely food. Efficient service great place to stop. En route Found this place by chance and really enjoyed the experience

First customers of the day for lunch after a family walk nearby. Happy to have kids and dog, staff were really friendly and the food was great. Tasty and massive portions (but smaller portion options available). Will definitely go back.

Passing on the way home from Southampton. Best carvery we have ever had. Didn't have room for dessert. Lovely staff too. Would definitely come again.

This was a pleasant surprise, went for lunch with friends, haven't been to the Landford Poacher in years. Lovely friendly staff, good wine and delicious home cooked food, all at a reasonable price. The portions were large, the menu varied, no hassling by staff, but in view, should you need anything. Would highly recommend as a great pub, certainly nothing to match it within a 10 mile radius.

Great Place ! We stopped here for a quick lunch break on a long drive. Greeted by a big smile & welcome with our order being promptly taken. Food was delicious ! Service was excellent. We had a small lunch ,my partner had home made soup of the day ( potato & carrot ) with hot roll /butter and I had scrumptious mushrooms on toast ! We will be back ! Enjoyable experience 10/10

OMG OMG OMG. We went to this establishment 2 nights in a row. The food was just amazing, Everything was just perfect, the staff are incredible nothing is to much trouble, they made us feel like we were the only people in the place. All in all phenomenal.

One again we’ve had a fantastic meal at the Landford Poacher. Cannot fault the food or the service and will undoubtably be back again soon.

We were staying nearby visiting family and were looking for somewhere to eat. The reviews looked good so we decided to give this place a try and were very pleased we did. The team were extremely welcoming and friendly, nothing was too much trouble. The food was excellent - I had the lamb cutlets which were super tasty and cooked to perfection. Others had the pork belly, sea bass, lasagne and scampi which were all just as impressive whilst our youngest member requested chips and peas which he thoroughly enjoyed. I definitely recommend paying this place a visit, you won’t be disappointed!

This pub is exceptionally welcoming and congenial, permitting us to park our camper in their car park. There's a delightful dog walk just across the road. Their evening selection of beer and cider is spot on, and the food is simply splendid. We tried both the pie and curry, and each was faultless and delectable. It's also a fantastic place for dogs. Both the staff and the locals are welcoming, making everyone feel thoroughly at home.

Lovely atmosphere and everyone was so friendly . Lisa and the team are what every pub/ restaurant needs because they make you feel so comfortable and welcome! Great menu and the homemade steak and red wine pie was amazing! We have lived in the area for 6 years and this was our first visit however we plan to make it the first of many!

Our first visit having lived in the area for 6 years and never tried, but glad we did. Extensive menu and specials board and good atmosphere. Had the Pie of the day which was steak and red wine which was recommended by Lisa who is front of house and boy was it good! The staff were very attentive and friendly throughout our meal and nothing too much trouble. Will definitely be coming back !

Excellent service Excellent staff Excellent food good value for money excellent desserts we enjoy coming we will come again

Amazing food every time and great value too, but the real magic is the staff. We're always made to feel like an old friend returning, and never feel rushed to leave. Absolutely nothing to fault.

Absolutely stunning food and service. Lovely staff, friendly and fun. We were well looked after from phoning to check availability through to saying goodbye. One of the best pub and grub experiences. Well worth visiting.

Super food, and very welcoming service. This place has really come on leaps and bounds and upped their game. Empty plates all around. Would thoroughly recommend.

Squeezed us in for a carvery - incredible. The creamed cabbage was 👌🏻 Homemade puddings feels a real treat, can personally vouch for the Bakewell Tart. Friendly helpful staff. Paid about £40 for 2 Carveries and a pint of soft drink.

Superb pub .Staff were so attentive, welcoming and the food was the best we have had in a long time

Absolute gem of a pub. Lovely food, great service and very well kept drinks. The food is very well priced and the dishes are a great size

What an amazing find. Food fabulous. (Make sure you leave room for the puddings.) Staff were all so helpful and friendly. Best pub meal I’ve had in a long time.

Great friendly staff, who could not do more to please. Really great food and generous portion sizes.

We stopped here on our way from Devon to the Isle of Wight. We asked if we could stay in the car park in our campervan if we bought a meal and they kindly agreed. The food was wonderful. They catered for my gluten free...

1 of the very best places to eat! Hats off to the Chef who NEVER fails to disappoint! The pies are out of this world :-)

Great pub , staff were really friendly , food was lovely and good value for money , lovely beer garden with a rather large gorilla keeping an eye on things , highly recommend a visit ❤️

Excellent food! I'm a big lover of game food and the Game Mixed Grill is the best thing ever! I'm definitely going back soon.

Fab visit on Easter Sunday, staff were really friendly and Roast was spot on! Would definitely go back with the family. 👌

This pub is a gem and i cannot fault it! Brilliant food, excellent service, nice warm and inviting atmosphere. So many places you go to these days are a disappointment, but not this one, will definitely be returning!

My second review on the Poacher, amazing carvery time and time again! You have to book as it’s so busy but trust me it’s worth it! Incredible

Great food and friendly service. The customer service was 5*. We really enjoyed our food and can't wait to return to try other items on the menu. We particularly liked that the majority of the items on the menu are homemade. Thank you to all...

I'm no foodie but I certainly have a great appetite!! The Sunday carvery is by far the best I have ever eaten! Great service very friendly staff and all round great atmosphere. If your ever passing this pub turn around and make sure you try...

Visited for a birthday celebration, what a lovely meal from start to finish! Fabulous food and wonderful service, nothing was too much trouble. Will definately be returning! Thank you Poacher team 😁

Very good carvery but very busy and landlord encouraged us to be squashed into a corner to accommodate lots of adults and children who hadn't booked which wasn't conducive to finishing our lunch off with dessert and coffee. Disappointing customer care and seemed rather disorganised....

We absolutely loved this place! Food was genuinely delicious, atmosphere was great and amazing staff who were so fun and friendly!
