Went for a lovely meal for my husbands birthday. Great choice of food, pricier than previous visits, but reflective of the times. However, it was still great value for money. Staff were amazing, friendly, and efficient and definitely won't be our last visit!

Without doubt the best roast pork dinner I have had in my 63 years on this earth. The pork just melted in your mouth. Lots of roast potatoes. Glazed carrots , parsnips , broccoli, lovely Yorkshire pudding, pigs in blankets and cauliflower cheese and gravy. So filling only had room for one pint of hobgoblin and no room for desserts which also all sounded so yummy. Lovely happy friendly staff made Sunday lunch so enjoyable. Highly recommend plenty of indoor and outdoor seating options. Lots of parking including disabled spots available. Would definitely go again.

We had two courses for a set price, the same price as one main meal only. Very generous portions and tasty. Good and hot and catered for my GF intolerance. The lady who served us was friendly and helpful. If passing at a convenient time again would certainly eat here again.

Great Sunday lunch - the trio of roasts and well cooked selection of vegetables were excellent. Service from Maisy was very good and all you could want.

We recently dined on two consecutive evenings, and overall, it was a lovely experience. On our first visit, I had the lasagne, which was hot, tasty, and just the right portion size, while my husband thoroughly enjoyed his sirloin steak. For dessert, I had the crème brûlée, which was absolutely delicious, and my husband opted for the crumble, which he also enjoyed. The cask ale was a perfect accompaniment, and we found the food and drinks to be reasonably priced. The service was another highlight—the waitress was friendly and helpful, and we appreciated that the pace of the service was relaxed and not rushed, making for a very pleasant evening. We were so pleased that we returned the following night with our son. He tried the pie of the day, which he really enjoyed, and my husband and I both had sirloin steak. While the steak was still good, my husband felt it wasn’t quite as nice as the previous night, being a bit overcooked for his liking. Unfortunately, we also had to request condiments a few times, which never arrived. Despite this, the waitress remained just as pleasant and friendly as before. Poplar Farm offers great food at a good price, with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. While there were a couple of minor issues on our second visit, the overall experience was still positive, and we would definitely return.

We live in Dorset and come to The Poplar Farm as a meeting place with friends and family from Surrey/London. We have always been warmly welcomed, the service is always very good and the food always delicious. The pub is clean and tidy. The only negative would be that the toilets are a little 'tired' but always clean.

We had a family meal on a Sunday evening. Unfortunately, by 6 p.m., some of the Sunday roasts weren't available, reducing our choices. Service at the bar was a little slow, also. However, food was lovely, staff were friendly and apologised for the reduced menu, and ensured our meals came as asked. Most had alterations due to intolerance or dietary needs, all done with no questions or irritation. Would happily return.

Went here for meal today and have been quite a Lot as we can take the dog. The last couple of times we have noticed that the food has gone downhill in quality. Today I had gammon and chips with petit poi’s the peas were hard both my eggs were broken and hard. My husband had fish and chips and mushy peas the peas were so runny, he sent them back they came back slightly less runny. I did explain to the lady who I paid that I was sad to see such a decline quality of food and service but she really didn’t seem to care and took the complaint with a pinch of salt. Needless to say The Poplar Inn is off our list to go out for a meal. 😔

What a gem of a pub. Booked here for 10 people to celebrate my husbands birthday after a day at Thruxton circuit. This place is just down the road and I found it through online reviews. I contacted via email to book and they responded within a couple of days (other pubs in the area couldn't be bothered to even reply to my enquiry) Booking went smoothly and the food was outstanding. Excellent quality and good portion sizes. Lovely country pub feel. I would highly recommend. I wish I lived closer so I could go back for more. Thank you to you and your staff for making my husbands birthday so memorable

Not somewhere I would go again. We waited 1 hour for our food and found the lamb so tough that we brought it home for the dog. The broccoli should not have been served and the dessert was served in a chipped pot. We couldn't taste the gin in our gin and tonic and one of the coffee cups was dirty. The waiting staff were helpful, friendly and very apologetic. They refunded us the price of 1 of the main courses as acceptance that the service fell far short of their expected standard. But it is not somewhere I could recommend.

We have been here a few times as it is a halfway point between us and our friends.

I know it’s just a pub but would be nice if your staff actually opened the bottle of Prosecco than just dump it on the table and when bringing fresh cutlery’ place it to each person not just dump on the table in a handful Please change your menu more often we went for another birthday in February and it’s not changed one bit. Even the pie of the day!!!

I’m sorry, the first time I have had a Chinese takeaway in almost a decade and was so looking forward to it. The prawn toast was over cooked and had hardly any prawn in it. Whilst the fried dumplings tasted ok, but were so soggy they were falling apart.
