The Poplar Farm in Test Valley

Nice place, with decent food. Jess did a great job with service!

Always lovely food and service! Our server, Jess was wonderful!

Thank you Jess!!! You were an amazing server for our group! We came in a few weeks back (24 April) to visit some friends. Thank you for helping to make our evening memorable! The food was delicious! The food arrived quickly and the drinks were amazing! You really went the extra effort to take care of us and we appreciate it! A good evening full of laughs! We will definitely be back again next time we come visit!

With thanks to Jess for great service on quiz night. Great food - awesome quiz - a friendly and fun pub with the food you want. Jess was a star. ⭐️

Lovely service from Jess, and the food was great, can recommend the Sunday Roast. Make sure you try the pineapple juice!

Superb food, massive portions and our waitress Jess was very attentive. We will be back. Thank you for a lovely experience

Had an amazing experience today by Holly. Excellence & attentive service by all ! Also had a great experience with bar staff Maisy who greeted us with a welcoming smile & lovely drink. Would 100% recommend !

Had a lovely waitress called Holly. She was very friendly and welcoming and helped us with all our needs! Absolutely brilliant service from her!

Absolutely great service. Amazing drink made by Maisy, and friendly service as soon as we walked in ! Then had amazing food served by a lovely waitress Holly who made sure to stay attentive throughout. Would recommend for sure.

recently dined at this place. Wanted to try the roast as normally the food is great and was extremely disappointed. Friends had their Mother’s Day there and said to avoid it. Maybe a change in management? Clearly poorly run. The service was incredibly slow and felt robotic, with no manager in sight to address the issues. It took 45 minutes for our food to arrive, and when it finally did, it was stone cold. I expected much better and will not be returning.

Fantastic food. Great service by Andrew

Fantastic, friendly staff, Andrew was lovely

Holly was a great waitress, very observant and polite.

Fantastic food and great experience service was visiting the area but will be returning soon for sure. A shout out to Jess P. For making my day! What an asset you have there.

We had Cathy serve us and she was so nice and had a sense of humour and even gave me extra brocolli on my meal which I wasn't expecting but she would be more of a reaso to come back as good as the food was

Stopped in for a drink whilst visiting the area and was served by Jess (with the long eye lashes) she was super friendly, great service, great atmosphere! Thanks Jess. Will definitely come back.

Very nice food and staff were amazing

We always like it here. Staff are lovely. Andrew served us this evening but all staff are great. One little thing - warm plates a bit more. 😊

We had the best meal here when we were served by Andrew. He was very welcoming and went above and beyond to take care of us and ensure we got everything we needed. Very friendly and accommodating to us. The food was amazing and came out very quick! Cannot fault

Lovely Sunday dinner, great service from Maisy! Will return, thank you.

Amazing service. Andrew did everything he could to meet fuzzy needs and the food was delicious, especially the gravy!

Maisy was absolutely fantastic host and was very polite

Excellent service and food! We’ve been a few times and Jess has always provided the best service - she is so so lovely and we always have a lovely evening at the Poplar

My husband and I booked a table at the poplar Farm for our 3rd wedding anniversary. We were served by Jess and she was fantastic!! Very friendly, happy and helpful!! Nothing was too much trouble! She made us feel very welcome!! The food was incredible!! Enjoyed every mouthful!! The atmosphere was very relaxed and laid back, we were tucked away in a corner so very cosy!! Would definitely come back again!!

Jess served us today and, yet again, her service is absolute top class. Nothing is too much trouble and she goes out of her way to check that her customers are happy! Food great and service exceptional.

Fabulous food. Speedy service. Megan L served us and was efficient and very friendly. Would recommend

Megan was our waitress, she was fantastic. So helpful, professional, and timely. Bravo! Will come again.

Excellent meal & service by Andrew Our steak was cooked exactly as we asked and the whole meal was tasty - my dairy allergy was fully catered for. Would recommend

It was amazing service, amazing food and the staff were great. My own Sea bass fillet was amazing and my family enjoyed it greatly.

Welcome, food, atmosphere and service here is really very good. Cathy our waitress on our last 2 visits - once last week for my birthday and again today with friends - is just superb. She even remembered the drinks we liked from last week. Such a lovely happy helpful lady. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and will obviously be back again soon.

Great service from Jay! Food was lovely and great atmosphere.

Great food, nice old pub with great features.

We met for a family lunch to celebrate Mother's Day and were excellently served by Jay, who couldn't have been more helpful. The atmosphere and surroundings were delightful, and the food was good. We had a very enjoyable visit. Thank you, especially to Jay.

Fantastic food and friendly service!

Another great meal today and Jay supplied attentive and professional service. We will be back soon.

Lovely setting,wonderful server,thank you Jay.jolly nice fare.

We felt thoroughly looked after by “Jay” thank you so much for a pre mothers day treat.

Good food, service was slow possibly understaffed on the day. Friendly staff.

Popped in for midweek meal and it was lovey. Food really tasty and service was great. All the staff are so friendly there and special thanks for Cathy.

Lovely place to visit, very homely, great food and lovely staff. Many thanks to Jay for great service always greeted with a smile.

Food was amazing, came here with my dad after a long day. Service was fantastic, thank you Cathy!

Food always good. Cathy our server was excellent

Popped in for bunch. Lovely looking pub/restaurant inside and out. Had the hunters chicken with crispy Mable bacon and chips. Other half had the chicken and leak pie,mash and veg. The hunters chicken was on point,which was tender and full of flavour. Like eating a bit of heaven and proper comfort food. I could of eaten another one it was that good. Chips were soft in the middle and crispy on the outside just how I like. The puff pastry on the pie was massive and cooked perfectly. The inside of the pie also creamy with not to much leak and chicken again tender. Veg and mash were not overly cook. Our server Cathy was very friendly and plesent. Nice work everyone. I will look forward to coming again.

Had a lovely meal for our Sons 13th Birthday tonight. Thank you to Jay who made it extra special with a lovely celebration pudding, and her fab humour and attentiveness was so welcomed. An extra thank you to her

Visited this establishment with my friend last Friday on his recommendation being a local. A lovely lady assisted us from the car as my friend has mobility issues, which was thoughtful of her. The best fish'n'chips I've ever had the pleasure of eating! The food is awesome here. Last time I opted for the Mac & Cheese... and that was equally delicious! Top marks to the chef!! Staff are welcoming, and it's a lovely place to spend a few hours with friends & family. Thank you. :)

Thank you so much Cathy for hosting us this evening. We had a lovely meal with excellent service!! Food was delicious, always a winner coming to the Poplar! Thanks for the great service Cathy you were lovely and so helpful

Great ambience, nice pub. Staff were attentive. Vegetables were a bit al dente, but overall quality was 7/10. Nice touch with the apple pie inside the Yorkshire pudding.

I went there I ordered a steak medium-rear but for me was to cooked. Luckily I had another one cooked to perfection. Andrew has been amazing. Thank you

Just a last minute decision to pop in for food and drink. Lovely welcome and great eye contact on arrival. We wandered round looking at variety of pictures on the many walls, while waiting for food. Were encouraged to explore and explained by Tracey about different events that take place. Overall a comfortable visit , good service, nice atmosphere and very pleasant, helped by a knowledgeable staff member Tracey . Thanks Janey

Tracy behind bar great as always. 🥂👍 Sarah always a fab waitress 👍

Warm & comfortable environment. Friendly staff (Tracey, Kathy, Sarah and Co) and delicious food!!

Great food and service from Tracey thank you

Great pub. Lots of space. Super helpful staff. Great drinks choice. We didn't eat this time, but the food I saw looked fab. Will definitely be trying some soon.

As always it was such a pleasure to come to the poplar farm and see Tracey working, the food and service was exceptional hand down the BEST pub around would highly recommend to anyone in the area or visiting to come and try!!

Tracey was amazing, friendly, bubbly and welcomed us with open arms. The food was cooked perfectly and tasted delicious. Highly recommend the signature burger. Thank you for a lovely experience.

Tracey and all the team were very inviting, they were very friendly and all round good service! Food was very nice!

Tracey served us and was super lovely ! Will be coming back :)

Tracy was lovely and accommodating

I've been to the Poplar Farm several times for lunch and have always received a very warm welcome. Our food has been delicious and there are open fires burning in the winter making everywhere toasty and comfortable. Tracey was particularly helpful today when I left my handbag behind and kept it safe until I retrieved it!

Jay our server was so welcoming and the service was fantastic. Will be back again

What a delicious lunch! The Poplar Farm has a really cosy atmosphere, we had a late lunch and it was so good. Huge portion, lots of options and fantastic service. Jay was brilliant - the perfect level of engaging and interactive without being overbearing. Definitely coming back soon!

The Poplar Farm? More like The Popular Farm!

Lovely place for our after walk food and drink..perfect 🚶‍♀️😋

Love coming here! Great food and service all round. Been here many times and never had a bad experience 😊

As usual, the food was amazing! The staff are always helpful, the menu choices suited everyone in my party and the open fire was very nice to be sat near on a chilly evening.

Another amazing meal at the Poplar. Staff are friendly as usual and food is amazing! x

I love the warm fire here and the super friendly staff. I had a coffee and did some work during my lunch break. Thank you Poplar Farm.

Great service and food, wide choice available

Great all rounder. Would return. Great for details afound a life threatening allergy.

My order did not arrive. 2 hours from ordering just eat customer service would not get in contact with the courier delivering the order. The order never even left the restaurant.. I could not cancel it on my end despite it being ordered over 2 hours

Me and my husband went there during the week for a meal and it was lovely, the service was fab, so we booked to go back on Friday evening, we had a table of 7. We arrived the staff were all friendly and attentive, we ordered our food, one of the party had food allergies which the waitress kindly checked with the chef. Which we appreciated. Starters all were okay apart from the chicken that was cold, we asked for it to be warmed which the staff kindly did, when it returned it was a little tough. But the staff acknowledged this and took it off the bill, mains were tasty, one guest had to ask for theirs to be warmed as no cutlery to eat it with. Score is based in the multiple visits we have made so haven’t penalised for this particular visit. I believe there was an offer on for money off, which meant that it was extra busy, that being said there was from what I can see 3 front of house staff that meant that it was a busy evening. The staff served to the best of their ability. Perhaps if an offer is running, management could consider potential foot flow and plot the required volume of staff In.

Absolutely love dining here, the food is always cooked perfectly, the staff are friendly and welcoming, the pub is lovely and clean. It's quite a large restaurant so there's plenty of room between tables and you can chat privately. Being gluten free, dining out can often be a problem but not here, they go above and beyond to ensure i have a enjoyable meal with my husband (who isn't gluten free). We definitely recommend visiting the Poplar Farm Inn.

Best home made beef pie I have had in ages, served by very friendly and helpful Tracey.

Our server was Jess and she made for a lovely evening. Very friendly and helpful!

Absolutely delicious, thank you

Cathy was a fab server! Nothing was too much trouble! Food was great!

Lovely food well presented and fabulous quality. Warm welcome and friendly staff. Mentioned we had a dog and 6 people and they gave us the perfect table. So dog friendly it’s a wonderful place to go we sometimes consider going elsewhere but always end up back here as it never disappoints.

Tracey was absolutely amazing. Service was 10/10 and she was very lovely

Tracey was absolutely gorgeous, the food was exceptional (I had the steak and venison pie) and it made for a really lovely family lunch. Highly recommend. 5 stars

We attended for Christmas dinner on 25/12/24 and thoroughly enjoyed the meal (three courses). The food quality and prices were excellent and the staff were very helpful and friendly

Fabulous Christmas lunch. Staff very friendly and efficient.

Lovely Christmas dinner, great food and atmosphere

lovely christmas dinner and great service

Really enjoyed our visit, food was fantastic and service was really good too, friendly wait staff and a really cozy atmosphere. My wife and I had the roast, I had the trio roast and my wife had the beef. Very happy with everything and would definitely recommend to anyone.

Tracey was very friendly and helpful.

Visited for lunch, food was freshly cooked and quickly served by our friendly and attentive bar lady Tracey.

My favourite pub by far, staff are always so happy and cheerful! The food was outstanding! Never a single complaint when I come here!

We were a large group and Jess was a fantastic waitress and made our evening. Food was ok, some dishes were better than others!

Served by Jess today, it was a pleasure, so pleasant and helpful, table of 9 ladies on a work Christmas party, she dealt with requests brilliantly. Where we ate was chilly. Good drinks, food overall good, pork belly x3 was not great, but Christmas is a busy in the kitchen to expect perfect food .
