Visited the pelican for some lunch with my dad. It was very quiet and peaceful and nicely decorated. The lady at the bar was really friendly and helpful and took our order promptly. The food was excellent, really tasty and good quality and the service was excellent too. Would highly recommend!

Lovely food but it took a while. Then again, apparently, we ordered the dish that takes the longest (cottage pie with veg and gravy). It was definitely prepared to order and taste delicious and didn't need the extra gravy. Very friendly, courteous, professional. Really enjoyed lunch - Thank you

We had an amazing Sunday roast yesterday at The Pelican. This lovely country pub has a big garden, decking area & covered outdoor seating. It was taken over by a new tenant Amy in April and Amy is passionate about good home-made food. She was cooking yesterday and so many people were saying it was the best roast they had in years. Food and drinks are very reasonably priced and the pub is open all week, except Mondays. Dogs are welcome in the bar area and outside areas.

Uhhhh... Despite calling 3 times beforehand to make sure my wife could eat, they assured us that she would be fed a Gluten Free Nut Roast. Upon arrival we were told she was to have some sort of soy loaf roast instead and that the nut roast isnt Gluten Free. Not what we had agreed. This wasn't the first time either, the previous time they let us down for the same reason, so we were apprehensive over visiting but we were there for a birthday. If you have dietary requirement, do not trust these people to get your order right. Shame

I went with my mum for a dessert and coffee after my mum's doctors appointment but had a bad encounter with the waiter. He was very abrupt and didn't seem at all welcoming. I asked if it was okay to sit at the empty table. He said it was okay. Then when I asked for the menu he just came to get the order. I told him I wanted the dessert menu he wasn't too happy and told me that he thought we were going to eat a meal. Then finally brought over the banana cake and coffee and told us we only had half an hour when our table wasn't reserved. I was very unhappy paying my money for such a service. My mum didn't deserve all this.

We went for lunch 2 weeks on the trot. The first was a Friday so we took advantage of the 2 x fish & chips for £20 Friday deal. The following week we decided to try out their Thai menu.....absolutely delicious and reasonably priced. Would recommend both 👌 😋 Friendly staff as well.

I visited The Pelican today, just me and my 7 year old son. The staff was really friendly and the pub was lovely. Unfortunately I had a bad experience while I was there. Around 4.00pm, I sent my son to go in and get some crisps. I was sat on this table which I have uploaded to this review. I was sat there drinking for around 5 minutes when a man approached me. He came over and said did you know you are sat on the smoking table? You can't eat and drink on this table, you can only smoke there. I was shocked, I said OK I'll go and sit somewhere else. He then said go away because I got funny about his comment. I went and sat somewhere else and looked at all the tables, they all had ash trays on. I also saw everyone smoking at all different tables. His comment didn't really make sense to me and made me feel very awkward. Glad he didn't approach me when my son was with me. Its a shame because I've been to this pub in the past and had a great time.

I visited The Pelican Pub in Tadley with a friend last week and we had a great time. The pub is located in the heart of Tadley, and it has a very traditional and cozy interior. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, and they were happy to recommend dishes to us based on our taste. We both tried the fish and chips, and it was delicious. The portions were generous, and the prices were very reasonable. We also enjoyed the atmosphere at The Pelican Pub. It was a great place to relax and chat with friends, and it was also lively enough to enjoy a few drinks and watch the football. Overall, we had a great time at The Pelican Pub, and we would definitely recommend it to others. Here are some of the pros and cons of The Pelican Pub: Pros: Traditional and cozy interior Friendly and welcoming staff Delicious food Generous portions Reasonable prices Lively atmosphere Cons: Can be a bit noisy on weekends Can be busy, so it's best to book a table in advance Overall, I would highly recommend The Pelican Pub to anyone looking for a great place to enjoy a meal with friends or family. Here are some additional details about my experience at The Pelican Pub: We arrived at the pub at around 12:30pm on a Saturday afternoon. The pub was already quite busy, but we were able to find a table without too much trouble. We ordered the fish and chips, which came with a side of mushy peas and tartar sauce. The fish was perfectly cooked and the chips were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The mushy peas were also delicious. We also ordered a pint of lager each. The lager was cold and refreshing. We spent about two hours at the pub. We enjoyed our meal and conversation, and we would definitely recommend The Pelican Pub to others.

Not really a fan of the current menu (November 2022) but we love the outside facilities - it’s great that the garden is fenced in so kids are safe from the car park and can play while you have a cheeky pint. Also a great place to sit outside in wet weather and watch sport events.

We wanted to support a local business during lockdown #2 and had heard good reviews about the Thai food from The Pelican so thought we’d try it. Was NOT disappointed! We ordered the platter and a few mains to share. All were absolutely delicious - beautiful flavours and perfectly cooked. We also loved the recyclable packaging it all came in.Can’t say one negative thing about the take away! Would definitely recommend!

Have to say the Thai chef’s cooking is truly amazing so worth the wait It was part of the government offers on food bills therefore we had a such a treat Everyone wants to eat there in the local village There was some English food on the menu one of our friends doesn’t like Thai therefore the burger was the choice well impressive The other friends were unsure about Thai food we sold it to them and boy were they impressed Maybe there should be some more English meals on menu for other clients food choices However I give praise to the Thai chef delicious food

First time having lunch out after the lockdown and surely it's a great one in here! 😊 We just find this pub from our search on the nearest pub as we are in the area. Great atmosphere and the fact that the chef check on the customer herself deserve an A! We had the sharing platter and the taste were just marvelous. The green curry there just amazing (did ask for extra spicy from the chef and she attend to it). Whoever crave for some authentic Thai food we totally recommend it!

The pub has just reopened after the shutdown period of months and has coped very well with sanitisers all over and seat/table cleaning between occupation. One-way routes operate along with QR codes for pub track and trace OR for ordering/paying at the table. One in one out at loos. Beer up to standard pre lockdown and the kitchen serving high quality ranges. Last Sunday roast was outstanding and the meat succulent with hood fresh veg. More deserts forthcoming. Only missing the rugby not on TV. Staff all courteous given difficult conditions to working routine but customers all welcomed and firstime instructions to help navigate our way around one way system.

Don't be put off by the scaffolding outside the pub - it is still open! This is a local no frills, people and dog friendly pub with excellent food. We had the Thai food and it tasted just as good as when we were in Thailand and very good value for money.We went for lunch and had a chicken Pad Thai £13.50 and a Massaman Curry £14.00 and both were delicious. They went down well with a bottle of Pinot Grigio £14.00. They also do a children's menu (see photos) and a Sunday lunch menu. I would recommend this pub to anyone.

Me and my boyfriend walked here on a Saturday, I ordered a beef brisket and a toastie, alongside two drinks. The lady was very kind and she brought out the toastie and drinks. After a little while I went back in and asked about the missing beef brisket to which they said they had now sold out of and was really apologetic. I said it was absolutely fine I can buy something different, however the ladies were adamant to give me a full refund and asked me if I’d like to pick something else free of charge. The staff were so lovely and couldn’t have been more helpful we were really appreciative of them!
