The Plough Inn in Test Valley

Great pub with lovely log fires and delicious food. We have been several times as it is fortunately quite local to us. The standard is always good, we love it!

Another superb lunch - delicious food, great wine and brilliant service. My burger was delicious, and the special which was recommended was tasty.

Food was lovely & good choice for differing tastes. The staff were friendly, cozy pub setting. Shame so far away from home but shall definitely be on top of our list when next back in Hampshire

What a fantastic night. Chelsea and her team worked incredibly hard, and the evening was a great success. Everyone enjoyed themselves and it was really lovely to see the community celebrating such an achievement, 3 successful years of the new Plough Inn. Well done .

A wonderful evening to celebrate three years as a community pub, a huge achievement, with excellent food, a fun atmosphere, a first class friendly team, and great live music to boot!

Super variety of menu. Staff extremely friendly, accommodating, efficient and professional. Really lovely ambiance. Loos really clean - sometimes with older pubs the loos aren’t great! The food was second to none. We all chose different meals. Not a complaint about anything between the four of us. We didn’t wait long, the food was brought out together. Everything hot. Asked if we needed anything else. First visit and will go again. Thank you.

We went for my 50th Birthday after doing a lot of research to find a lovely pub. We were not disappointed! It’s a lovely welcoming pub and the food is delicious. I particularly loved the sea bass fillets - some of the best fish I have ever had, it was delicious. Liked having the ‘specials’ choices too and also 2 for 1 cocktails after 7pm! Best pub meal we have had in a long time.

Had Sunday roast at the Plough today, this is the second time in a month, we brought a friend and came back because the roast beef is stupendous. It is beautifully prepared, pink, soft and delicious. The veggies were also perfect, al dente but not hard, plenty of roasties and a gorgeous yorkie with plenty of gravy. Lovely family atmosphere, with attentive but not over-powering service. Would definitely recommend.

A great place. Warm and cosy, recently refurbished a few years ago so really nice inside. The staff are lovely and very friendly. My husband loves the food there but I am a bit limited being more vegetarian.

Very relaxed and friendly local pub. The staff are so obliging and the food is great. Lovely manager. Highly recommend. X

We haven’t been to Longparish for some time but thought we would give it a try. A lot of work has been put in on the outside and on the in and it really is lovely. The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming. The menu has plenty of options and the portion sizes were good. Fresh, well cooked presented food and the steak was tasty. We will be returning 😊

Beautiful setting and food outstanding. Excellent service and good value for money. Definitely would go again. Nothing too much trouble.

Wonderful food, great staff and a lovely happy atmosphere. I really enjoyed my homemade Thai chicken curry and one of the best sticky toffee puddings.

Really great Sunday lunch and made Easter very special. Quick service, large servings and staff happy to make the experience welcoming and attentive.

Great food. We had ham and leek pies which were lovely. The drinks took ages but the food was quick. If the drinks had been served quickly then we would have had another round and a bottle of wine. Not a complaint because we had a great time, but if I was the boss I’d want to know because we could’ve spent a lot more!

Excellent food, lovely staff and great location. Been here several times and always enjoyed the food. Staff are great and it's a beautiful location and nicely done inside.

First visit, food choice was typically Pub menu, with a specials board, good choices available, our food was very good served in a nice atmosphere, will definitely visit again

Stopped for a quick supper - good homemade food, a couple of pies on the specials menu. A nice layout with separate rooms with several fireplaces with fires burning.

Very filling and tasty. Quiet place. Easy parking. It was a good place fir us to meet as we were coming from different directions

We went here for a Saturday lunch with two families with a toddler and baby. The food was delicious, really good value and came quickly. Very relaxed atmosphere and cosy with a nice fire. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Food was freshly cooked and lots of local produce. Will definitely be going back.

Met friends here for Sunday Lunch. Food was excellent - beef and lamb were gorgeous. Service was great and the pub was busy but with a great atmosphere. My wife is gluten and dairy free and needs a low histamine meal, which is hard to get in a lot of catering establishments. We contacted the pub earlier in the week to arrange this and they came back very quickly saying they could cater for this. And so they did - a great chicken sunday roast, which was very much appreciated. Thank you so much to all the staff who work so hard in this community owned pub. We will definitely be back.

A great lunch - delicious food, warm service and a cosy atmosphere on a wintry day. We had pies and a burger and chips, vegetables too - a lovely variety of veg cooked just right & excellent portion sizes. Highly recommend

Excellent pub great service food and ambiance. Very welcoming staff to humans and dogs great little country pub. Definitely recommend the burgers best ever.

Our family group of five had a wonderful meal at the Plough at the end of January. Fantastic food and great service. We will definitely return.

Super Sunday Lunch - This is our third visit to the Plough for Sunday lunch today. The menu is small but this enables them to keep the quality high. I had the Roast Beef and it was exceptional. I asked for it rare and this is how it came. Really crispy roast potatoes. A young team but attentive even though they were very busy. Will be back. Thank you

Excellent food, prompt service and attentive but not overbearing waitresses. I had the cod dish which was very tasty and filling, whilst the other diners both had the chicken burger, which was extremely tender and very big!

We enjoyed a really lovely lunch at this beautiful Inn set in the very pretty village of Longparish. The food is fantastic, as were the hosts who made us feel most welcome. The Inn is beautifully decorated and has a very relaxed atmosphere. 100% recommend, a real gem, will definitely been visiting again soon 😊

Lovely Sunday lunch with friends, great roast dinner, The lamb was beautifully cooked with a nice selection of vegetables and perfect Yorkshire pudding and roast potatoes. Dog friendly and even had roast dinners for dogs!! Friendly and efficient service.

A great find. There is a wide choice on the menu and reasonably priced. The pub is beautifully decorated and very cosy, with the two log burners, on a cold winters day. The service was god and veery friendly. The food was delicious. A lovely hot hot chocolate to send the meal. We were not hurried out which was great. Would thoroughly recommend.

Lovely meal, good choice, generous portions, log fire, friendly service, great choice of music but still able to hold a conversation and no TV where we were.

Having not been to the Plough for many years (it has changed hands a few times since our last visit), some friends told us it was really worth visiting again. And they were right! Romeo and Jackie were so friendly, the service was excellent, delicious wine and fabulous steak. And cosy woodburners added to the warm, relaxed atmosphere. Thank you! We will be back.

Six of us met for lunch and we all had good meals - fish cake, stroganoff pie and sausages. All came with fresh vegetables. The ingredients were of a good quality. The staff were friendly and efficient. We have been before and equally impressed and will return even though we do not live locally.

A great community pub, run by locals who are committed to providing good food at a reasonable price. The pub itself is welcoming and there’s a lovely log fire- what’s not to like?!! I had fish and chips- cooked to perfection and my husband had burger and chips- the portions were generous and service very good. It’s great to see a local pub owned a run by the community; would certainly recommend!

I visited with friends for dinner just before Christmas and had the Christmas menu. I had beef carpaccio, sea bass and a lemon tart which were all superb - beautifully presented, perfectly seasoned and very tasty. The pub was busy with a lovely, friendly and...

Great lunch and lovely atmosphere! Had a wonderful lunch, washed down with some delicious wine in a Xmas atmosphere. Great!

Very cold when we first arrived at the pub but it did warm up as the afternoon progressed. Could have had more potatoes and gravy with the roast but the beef was plentiful. Yorkshire had a strange consistency. Cheesecake desert was great.

This is a lovely renovated old village pub. The building is charming, both inside and out. The food is excellent and there is always nice beers on tap. If you can’t decide what to choose from the many tasty dishes on the menu, just go...

The food was great, but would have been so much better if served up hot. We had to return our meals for re-heating, as did the table next to us. Good service though and a great ambience.

Nicely renovated village pub with excellent quite upmarket food and very friendly service. My first pint was off but it was immediately replaced.

The most AMAZING food. We had a tapas of starters, which meant we got to try a majority of the delicious menu as they accommodate small plates well as a standard plate. Everything cooked to perfection and top quality ingredients. The staff are fabulous -...

very welcoming community-run pub which offered a good range of the most widely found pub dishes. Good choice of beers and lagers and a well-chosen range of wines by the glass and by the bottle. The price was a little below average and no service...

Excellent food, great service. Very enjoyable evening, will definitely go there again. Highly recommended.

Delighted with our family Sunday lunch today at The Plough Longparish. Delicious Roasts - we had every flavour between us - beautifully presented, friendly and attentive service. It was good earlier this year and even better this time, - pub full and great atmosphere! 😀

We found the pub by accident, looking for somewhere to eat. It was late on a Sunday afternoon. The staff were very accomadating and we had superb meal. The staff were helpful and friendly. Ray was particularly good host. Definitely recommend this place.

Eight of us have just had an absolutely brilliant lunch at The Plough. Food was delicious and the service spot on. Special mention to Ray who gave us a few giggles and is running a brilliant community led venture. Keep up the great work.

Wonderful lively community pub with great menu choice and great food. Friendly atmosphere and excellent service.

We popped into the pub for a quick drink. We stayed at the bar where we had a very warm, friendly welcome and enjoyed a very fine Bloody Mary (or two!).

Went for lunch with my wife and we loved it. Great atmosphere, very friendly and attentive staff with good beer and excellent food! Why wouldn't you ?!!? Definitely will be returning soon.

Fabulous food and great customer service from the Sunday team. Would highly recommend. Situated in a pretty village location just off the A303. Ideal for meeting friends & family as a half way point between Somerset & Surrey.

Second visit, both times have been excellent. Very good food and great service, looking forward to coming back again.

We enjoyed a lovely meal at this friendly country pub. Good menu, tasty food, generous helpings and attentive staff. We will be returning - hopefully on a warm evening so we can enjoy the pub garden.

Visited yesterday for lunch and had two very underwhelming roast beef dinners. Both overcooked, with average vegetables. The roast potatoes were good. Didnt receive a checkback, so didnt get the opportunity to give feedback. Which was quite fortunate for the waitress. Seened very quiet. Wouldnt...
