The Lion in Test Valley

Came for a meal in December with my friends from work, lovely quaint little pub. We were seated quickly, one of the ladies we went with has allergies and was told she could be catered for, a great start.We had Camembert to start and then all chose the ribs....which were amazing! It got very busy so I advise booking but we were not disappointed! Will definitely be returning at a later date

We were tired and hungry after visiting Stone Henge, the Stone Circles, and an ancient burial site. The lion was conveniently close, so we decided to check it out. We walked in and easily found a large dining area in the back. We sat down, reviewed the menu and patiently waited to order drinks and food.After 25-30 mins of waiting, with no one offering drinks or appetizers, I walked to a server and ask for service. Her response was sorry we are not serving food until 5:30. Which was 1 hr away, it would have been nice if they told us as soon as we sat down and got comfortable.I guess we were INVISIBLE and the servers did not notice a group of 4 Americans waiting to place an order for drinks and food.Did, I forget to mention we were tired and hungry!Poor customer service!!!!There is paid parking just outside and free parking around the corner.
