The Pub With No Name AKA The White Horse in East Hampshire

Great atmosphere and delicious food!

I reserved a table online for 9 people. The pub has a lot of old-fashioned charm, however the first chair I sat on was broken. Seven customers ordered the pie of the day, while two chose other items. The pheasant dish was served without the pheasant, and the lemon sole was served with croutons; when the waitress knew the customer was gluten-free, she thankfully noticed! When I booked, there was no mention of the 12.5% service charge for tables of six or more. I was questioned about why I declined to pay the service charge. I responded that I was unaware of the charge before booking. Poor service would also be another reason. To be fair to the pub, the cost of the two dinners was deducted off the bill, but it spoilt what could have been a nice meal. On the plus side the pie steak and ale was good, with crisp pastry, delicate beef, and tasty gravy. The dish was filling. Cost £17.00. There was nothing noteworthy about the crumble. Because the apple was very firm, most people left a large portion. I thought it was too pricey at £9.00.

Very busy and delightfully disorganised. A gem.

Stopped in for a quick drink at this gem of a pub.

Wonderful Sunday roast. Best we have had in a long time

Had a pint, great place. Will be going again.

Hands down the BEST pub I have ever been to in my life, since moving out the area I come back to visit with the specific aim of coming to the no name!

I just wanted to say the bonfire display last night was amazing even though it was foggy. Very well organised, great value for money. Lovely old pub on a great location .Will be back.

Don't know about rooms but love this pub, been going here on and off for over 30 years and pleased to see

Lovely setting, lovely service, really good food and a cosy fireplace. Highly recommend. Thanks very much ☺️

Very easy to miss, very difficult to forget. A very cosy pub in a beautiful setting. I will freely admit that this was the best roast dinner I've had from a pub. Absolutely stunning.

Lovely pub. Nice atmosphere. Good selection of beers. Friendly staff. Quirky props decorating the place.

What a find we just loved everything about this pub, right in the middle of nowhere but surprisingly easy to find. Both the food and the welcome we received were top of the range. Would recommend highly

We took our Australian friends for lunch. The cosy and intimate atmosphere showed off quintessential English pub vibe I was looking for. The staff were wonderful, a credit to the manager Charlie, everyone was warm, welcoming and friendly. Food was fantastic especially pleased for our celiac guest. Everything was delicious

Went with family, 4 adults, 3 children. Sunday roast was incredible but the service was not good at all! We had to ask for everything, every step of the way, ask to order drinks, ask to order food…our drinks sat at the bar and we had to ask for them Then we were charged 12.5% service as a table over 6 which came to £30. Service needs looking at, it doesn’t match up to ambiance and how great the food is, which is a shame.

Best roast I've had in years! Lovely country pub with a wonderful, cosy atmosphere!

First time here really nice food reasonably priced really lovely atmosphere and staff are lovely and welcoming and very helpful. Decor is amazing if you like a proper country pub. Only downfall would be a recommendation staff all wear same uniform.

Perfect example of what a typical English pub should be like

Love this place, such a beautiful pub with wonderful views from the garden of the South Downs National Park. We had the roast beef and Yorkshire pudding which was delicious, service was excellent and the crackling fire and locals enjoying themselves added to the atmosphere.

What a great pub, full of character and history. We sat by the log fire pit in the garden to finish the evening and watch the sunset.

Love love love! Been here many times over the years as local, it lost its charm but I can confirm it is well and truly back! Eddie so welcoming and food incredible. We went for Sunday lunch and yes a little pricey but great portion size and was delicious! Sides of pigs in blankets were yummy! Have been recommending to everyone! Lovely to have the No Name back

I haven’t been here for over 3 x years and unfortunately when I came here last in 2023, I found it closed for refurbishment! Not sure what was refurbished, but to me the pub still has the unique olde world charm, particularly in the small bar ( think that must have been repainted though). Staff all quite young, but friendly. Beer was nice (didn’t try food but on adjacent tables it looked good), but was very disappointed to hear the famous “No Name Strong” was no longer available as this was a unique and great feature of the pub. I was also surprised to hear that there was no HSB. I think the old “No Name” beers used to be brewed on the premises and in later years switched to somewhere in Alton. It would be a great feature to get this back on along with its “No Name Bitter” counterpart. Any thoughts? I still love the uniqueness and confusion caused by the pub name. It has always made me smile and the old “empty” pub sign at the end of the road is just a little bit too subtle for people who don’t know! Glad to see it back open.

The most incredible food and atmosphere. Fab location. Thank you to the lovely staff as well. Definitely recommend the Risotto, Sirloin Steak & Fries and the burger! Yummy. The Boisclairs!

Great food lovely staff will be back

Very very disappointing. Family birthday lunch and arrived to be told it was a bbq menu only. Staff were arrogant and rude and it took 30 mins after ordering drinks for them to come to our table. We were told no fries were available (with the bbq not children’s menu) and the children’s hot dog was a reheated frankfurter in a stale white roll. Mains didn’t come with any sides or garnish and when we asked waitress what the mains came with she said she didn’t know. Vegetable skewers were £14 for a couple of pieces of pepper, some undercooked courgette and came swimming in oil. What a shame!

Our local and we love sitting outside in the sun! Thought we would try the Sunday bbq and sadly it wasn’t great. Hopefully it will improve over the weeks as the menu is great however the mixed salad was just leaves, the lobster is small and chewy, all the food came at different times which was a bit annoying and the vegetable skewers were tiny. Prices are quite high however quality and quantity of food wasn’t great sadly! I hope it improves.

I saw this place advertised on pitch up as a camping site and seeing as it was my first experience in a long time & taking a baby solo I was quite anxious. Upon arrival I went into the pub to pay for the pitch to be told that Laura would be around to greet us so to pitch the tent.. The campsite its self is lovely, small with a lovely feel about it. It’s very family friendly and is kept to a good clean condition with the toilet and shower facilities being well kept too considering it’s on a camp site. In the toilet there is plugs to be able to charge things which was a godsend as I’d of been lost without somewhere to charge my phone in the case of an emergency. Laura, the lady who runs the site was so lovely, polite and friendly which also made the experience even better as I felt confident that if I needed anything I could ask for help. Overall a lovely experience and will definitely make a return visit (or lots). Would definitely recommend for a quiet, relaxing, sun trap, friendly environment with a chilled atmosphere.

Lovely pub, good food! Definitely worth a visit

This pub is really called THE White Horse pub but the sign fell down in 1942. Wooden signs were rationed. Later Jack the Landlord was too rude and miserable to re-erect the sign. So the nick name if the pub became THE Pub with No Name. Was a Gales pub but not more. The present owners are very friendly and serve good food. Well worth a visit. Cheers.

I’m conflicted about this one. It’s a well known old country pub - but with new owners/management. We visited as a largish party and ate outside in the back garden. A lovely setting. All the food looked “nice” and there were no complaints from us. I had the £16 burger and was disappointed to find it to be of the “small bun, taller than its wide” variety. This makes it a faff to eat and tries to disguise that it’s quite a small patty of meat. I initially wanted a steak but our group has a golden rule - we don’t buy steaks when they are £20 plus. This place, and I may have it wrong, wanted £38.50 for a steak! It might have been £35.80 - no matter. I would never pay that for a simple steak with chips and some veg. Ridiculous. So, a great venue, well known to us all, good beer, great staff etc etc but I can’t see them lasting long if they maintain their prices. A simple pork chop (singular) was £26. A bavette steak £24. Mad! I see on their website that sirloin is now priced at £11 per 100g! Pricing steak per 100g. This is not lobster or expensive deep sea fish. It’s meat from a local wholesale! So. A great pub good food but charging insane prices for simple pub grub.

What a wonderful place! We ended up here on a whim, wasn't expecting much as we knew it was just a pub - but the food was phenomenal. The first clue was the menu, it was very short, which is always a good sign. My steak and my partner's bream were wonderful and the sides were amazing - the quinoa, the slaw and the potatoes were intriguing and utterly delicious. We'll definitely come back here.

Had a great time here, proper restaurant quality food. Had brilliant service from Betty!

We booked a 3pm Sunday roast. Items from starters already ran out. Roast beef sold out and one dessert sold out. When all you sell is food and beverage, you should ensure you have enough of all on the menu. Roast lunch was cold.

Simply the best steak my wife and I have ever eaten! 24oz T Bone to share with delicious skin on fries and seasonal greens. Lovely atmosphere and great service, all on a busy Saturday afternoon. Well done 👏🏻

Outstanding food – service needs work. Second time here and again, very impressed by the food. Well worth the money. Unfortunately, service is very scattered and no-one seems quite sure whose table they’re responsible for. Senior waitress took our order but didn’t write it down – this always makes me anxious that something will be forgotten – there’s no need to prove you have an outstanding memory – please just write down the order, so you don’t forget anything. Inevitably-they did forget part of the meal, which then took 20 minutes to arrive, by which time we’d nearly finished our main. Nevertheless, worth the wait.

We went for dinner last night. The food is amazing. Really interesting and delicious. The white wine was warm however as hadn’t been in the fridge which is NOT good. Overall, we enjoyed it BUT it is very very expensive. I don’t mind paying those prices if you feel you’ve enjoyed a luxury experience. But this is still a pub….cutlery in tins on the table, basic paper slightly soiled menus and paper napkins and waitresses in scruffy clothes. I would gladly go back had we felt that the exorbitant prices reflected in the entire experience. £200 for a meal for 2 is a lot…and not even a complimentary bread selection! I think the food is worthy of the price providing the rest of the dining experience catches up. Until that happens we probably wouldn’t revisit sadly.

great food, a little on the pricy side but you’re paying for good quality and local ingredients and standard as well. lovely interior; freshly painted and clean washrooms.

Cosy country pub with lovely fireplaces

Charlie is an amazing host! We walked up to the pub from petersfield to find it closed (day after bank holiday so they’d switched hours), but he gifted us a beer and then drove us back down the hill to a pub near our starting point. Cheers!

Great character, beautiful surroundings and amazing food. What a place!

Good food, drink and excellent service from waitress and barman.

An absolute gem of a place. We were welcomed in by a glowing outside firepit and even warmer staff. We booked on the early side and so chose to sit in the bar area as most of the dining reservations were later. By the time we left, the restaurant was full and with a great ambience. The wine list was refreshingly good (for a pub) and the food was incredible. We had the truffled wild roe deer tartare and the chalkstream trout mi-cit to start, which were beautifully presented and surprisingly light. For mains we had the monk fish with lentils and the bavette steak with a madeira jus and fries, which were both delicious. We will definitely visit again and would recommend to anyone visiting the area or passing through.

Stunning pub in a beautiful location. Food was amazing and the staff were lovely.

Excellent food, the best cauliflower cheese I have ever had out. Lovely spot and friendly staff a really lovely place for lunch and even great for an outside drink in the sun!

Very disappointing Easter Sunday lunch Roast chicken came out on the bone broccoli huge chunk on a thick stalk roast potatoes appeared pre cooked and re heated all served piled up on a small plate very off putting 3 people had lamb which was fatty and undercooked not one of our group of 11 enjoyed the meal Staff were pleasant and helpful thank goodness

Edit: Last time I went just 2 weeks ago, they no longer do the smash burger. They have a new chef and the new (none smash) burger is not good at all Old post: Excellent food, the best smashed burger I've had, not joking! Very juicy and succulent, it's making me hungry thinking about it. It was quite rare in the middle, but absolutely no stars lost, I'll just ask for it 'not pink' next time. Atmosphere and surroundings superb, loads of parking.

Simple and traditional, a coaching inn since 1600s, that history nicely curated in 21st century, recent refurb. We didn't eat here but bar snacks were fine. Saw children, dogs, mature couples all looking very at home on a Sunday afternoon. Nice old furniture , fireplaces lit, plenty of old bric a brac. If that's your vibe this place is a top notch example.

Booked a table with some friends for dinner and it was really good. Not only is the service excellent but the food was outstanding and probably best pub food I’ve had. The pub was packed so great it had a great atmosphere. It has tons of character and is really worth a visit.

Called to ask directions and thefirst thing was said was just going to call you to see where are . We were not late for our booking at 6.45. When we arrived before we even sat down was told that they needed the table by 8.30 as was booked. We waited for along time to order drinks and food so my husband went to bar to order . Food was lovely no fault there at all. We watched a lot while eating .My husband went in the bar to find a seat . When he moved they moving a chair towards the table. Felt uncomfortable there service was non existent and will not be going back or recommend either. If we were told about two sittings a night we would not havebooked

What an exceptional place. Cosy, friendly and so out of the way but worth finding.

Heard lots of good things about this pub so finally got there tonight and it didn’t disappoint. Beautifully cooked food and a great atmosphere with lots of groups of people all looking very relaxed and at home. Will definitely come back again.

Since the recent takeover, the food and service are now top notch.

An amazing addition to the area. Delicious food banging bloody Mary’s. Will be back for sure!!!!

Food was amazing and staff were very friendly and helpful. Such a lovely find. Will definitely be returning.

Lovely pub, warm welcome and cozy

Food was amazing til they put rosemary on something not sure what it was but I am allergic and it gave me an immediate asthma attack. Was not asked if any of us were allergic to anything and did nit think to sat as did not expect rosemary in a roast beef dinner. Such a pity as it spoilt it for all of us.

Fabulous pub!! Great beer & food and great countryside to explore! Well worth a visit!

Great to see this place back and on form. Mushrooms on toast to start was excellent. Looked like a lot, but the bread was really light and just right for a starter. Then a really good picanha steak (nice to see that cut on the menu). Decent local ale too. Only suggestions would be a variety of leaves on the garnish, and dressing too (I'm sure it should have been dressed, just an oversight). Also, maybe toasted the bread a bit too far. But nothing that would stop me rushing back for another meal though. Good work folks 👍

well visted here today. was going to have a meal . lady came over never came back so never bothered ordering. few cobwebs in pub not very clean outside log fire going but not cleaned out very very cold in pub

The food is amazing, the roasts are so good

When someone refers to this place as ‘a gem’ they are correct. It’s a wonderful place to spend time. Gorgeous, buzzy, very dog friendly and great food. Best roast in the area.

It's wonderful to see the "No Name" of my memory back to what it used to be. Unfortunately bar staff, whilst really friendly and great, are slow and lack focus. Particular example, stood at the bar waiting to pay for a packet of crisps for nigh on 10 minutes. Owner actually refused to take my two poumd coin and told me "Give the money to one of the guys when they get to you 🤷) I absolutely love the place but, if you're going to have inexperienced bar staff (been there myself,) then you need an experienced manager to train and mentor them.

Really lovely country pub atmosphere. Group of 13. Really well looked after and excellent food. I look forward to coming again. Thank you

Fantastic roasts on Sunday which is great for those who like them. It is good to do a simple thing well.

If you are looking for a country pub for a lovely pint or coffee (in my driver case) this will tick the boxes!

Really great pub been 30 years since was last there. As far as I could tell hadn’t really changed. This is so good to see in the times of so many pubs being completely ruined or turned into houses. Staff were really friendly and good selection of ales

Absolutely perfect! What else can I say : Our booking for Sunday lunch was at 12:00 for four people. The pub filled very quickly - every single cosy corner! Considering the lack of signage, this idillic country pub still relies on recommendations alone, we can see why ! With the pub bursting from one open beam to another, the service was fabulous, friendly and as warm as the open fire ! Finally, the food ? Oh my goodness! Just beautiful! This is definitely my new favourite pub and as you are only 5 minutes away, you will be seeing us again ! Thank you , Mrs Lulabelle Coombes

Haven't been here since it closed for refurbishment. Used to live closer and went there quite often. Pleased to see it open again. Only popped in for a pint but nice atmosphere still.

Great to the No Name back to the top of its game under new management and with a new chef. The Venison Pie was great and my wife really enjoyed her steak. Good beer as ever, and stunning value. Dog friendly of course

Amazing place, service was fantastic and the food was absolutely superb. Pub is full of atmosphere and staff are friendly and smiley. Also had a few drinks lunchtime which is also lovely, table in front of the fire and a good selection of wine.

Under new management, what was already a good pub has become an excellent one. The team are friendly, efficient and professional. The food was as good as anything we have tasted and the value is excellent. Add to that warming fires, well cared for beers and an inviting atmosphere, and you have the perfect place to eat, talk, relax and enjoy time away from our daily troubles.

Great food. Had the fish and chips. Well worth the money. Very happy with the atmosphere and bar staff. Classic beautiful British pub. Fire pit was also a nice touch. Wonderful.

Great to see this wonderful pub open again and the new owners are doing a wonderful job, the food was absolutely first rate, great choice of beers and wines and a fantastic experience all round, keep up the good work guys

Wonderful to have the Pub with No Name open again - lovely welcome from the new owners and such a change from our last visit - only their second day and it was great to be there. Sausage rolls are delicious and worth a visit on their own - dog friendly and a fire pit outside for those who wanted the enjoy the autumn sunshine. Great destination at the end of a walk !

Really cosy, ancient pub with real fires, great food and real ales. Thoroughly recommended. You'll need SatNav to find it, as road signage is sparse!

Este un loc foarte frumos, cu o servire bună. Mâncarea este foarte foarte bună. Sunt Bucătari foarte bine pregătiți. Toate aceste lucruri bune se datorează lui Lizzy și pentru asta FELICITĂRI! JONNY!

An unspoilt, comfortable old fashioned, Dog friendly, pub with friendly service, good beer and food. Probably soon to be spoilt as it's just changing landlords.

A picture perfect pub, in a lovely Hampshire village - surrounded by rolling countryside, ideal for walking. We received a warm welcome from friendly host and staff. The interior is snug and attractively decorated - retaining original features. The stable rooms are very comfortable and well appointed and fairly priced. The wine selection is good and also fairly priced. The breakfast was generous and tasty. My only complaint is towards the quality of the evening meal, which sadly was mediocre and did not meet the general high standards of the rest of our experience. The smoked salmon and beetroot terrine was not a terrine and there was no beetroot on the plate. The leaves were undressed. The Mushroom stroganoff comprised button mushrooms only and white rice that was soggy and over cooked. A variety of mushrooms, some fresh herbs and wild rice would have elevated it. The fish cakes were stodgy and bready and not that pleasant. They were consumed in too much cream sauce. The chef should get some feedback and make adjustments. Aside from this I would definitely recommend this place and go back there if the food went up a few gears - all other aspects are really good and we appreciated the efforts of the staff to give us a good time.

Lovely pub, lovely food, BUT portion sizes are terrible especiallygiven the price. The burger and chips we just had was served on what can only be described as a side plate, most likely because if it was on a normal plate it would have been lost. Traditional pub burger and chips usually leaves you ready to burst, this left me ready to head home to have a 2nd lunch. Unfortunately we won't be heading back any time soon. Garden furniture could do with desperately with being replaced too!

A throwback to a bygone era, which I normally like - but you can't serve food from that era and charge today's prices, the food (roast dinner £21!!!!) was of school dinner quality and the attitude of staff dire. Ignore any pictures of food on here from a year ago as clearly there kitchen staff, suppliers and output have changed recently

Sunday roast lunch was very poor and overpriced. Avoid if you want to eat well.

ABRUPT MIDDLE AGED LADY BEHIND THE BAR TODAY WHO CLEARLY HATED HER JOB ....AND IF IT WASNT FOR A HANDFUL OF PEOPLE OUTSIDE WHEN WE DROVE IN I WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THE PLACE WAS DERELICT ....ROTTEN UNTREATED TABLES OUTSIDE AND WEEDS GROWING EVERYWHERE WE HAD A QUICK DRINK AND LEFT ...SORRY FOR THIS REVIEW BUT YOU NEED TO UP YOUR GAME OTHERWISE YOU WILL STRUGGLE IN THIS CHALLENGING CLIMATE.......

For the pub known for its food the menu sent to 19 of our strollers group showed only 4 mains, uninspiring selections. Fish and chips, Beefburger, Sausages and mash and Butternut squash tagine. Although we had preordered our meals, service was over 45 minutes. We were informed that they had been let down by the fish delivery. Very disappointing overall. Only 2 ales on tap. The current proprietors will have to improve their game if they wish to keep their customers for such an out of the way pub.

Good ales and comfort food. Ambience is good and service is quick.

Have visited before and was impressed. Today was a disapointment, menu no choice no Tare Tare sauce for fish, no mayonaise ,no mash potatoe,only chips no Larger, what is a pub with No Name that had no Larger. Wont be visiting again.

Booked a table at short notice for dinner. The pub where time has stood still. Very original in decor and in its fixtures and fittings from many years ago. The menu was very limited and didn't match what we'd seen online. When the food did eventually arrive, it was very disappointing. Not particularly well presented, the portions small and certainly overpriced for what we received. Worth a visit for a drink only and views of the surrounding countryside, but not much else.

Nice country pub with lovely views.

Good pub and excellent bar staff

To late for food. Beer and wine was excellent. Back soon to try the food. I haven't been here since Paul used to run the pub.

Visited on a Sunday for a roast dinner. My friends and I felt we had stepped into a parallel universe! A couple of our group are experienced publicans ourselves from London and therfore understand the challenges a busy service can bring but this was off the scale. The old couple behind the bar didn't seem to know what was going on and just did precisely that, they stood behind the bar waiting for people to come to them to order drinks, table service seemed too much for them. The young dark haired waitress again seemed to just stand around not even being reactive, let alone proactive. The only saving grace was the older blond waitress who seemed experienced but completely rushed off her feet as she appeared to be the only member of staff who knew what was going on! A shambles. The food was OK but not as per the menu; carrots and parsnips undercooked and not roasted plus the strange addition of mashed potato. We would've complained but there was no check back to the table and didn't have time to wait for the experienced blond lady to come back as she was busy in the restaurant. She could've probably run the lunch service on her own and deserves the pay of 3 members of staff.

Lovely pub, great atmosphere, nice beer... what more do you need?!

"The Pub with no name". Humdinger of a pub, with great food and hospitality, and for a Fuller's pub good beer. Strong Ale is ESB. Not an easy get to, but worth the trip

Food Ok, but told off for adding wood to the fire. Watress told us off for adding a few logs to the fire using the 'BLO##Y' word for the cost of logs. (We only added 3) We were going to stay for another drink but decided not to after being spoken to like kids. After spending over £125, you begrudge us 3 bits of wood. Hence you got no tip, and we wont be back! p.s Website states you shut at 6pm this was 3.45 - and you were shutting at 4pm?

Service amazing , food and drinks were lovely and everything was made with care. Such a beautiful old pub 🍻

We had a lovely venison pie with creamy mash, broccoli and kale and some ale, all served by a lovely lady! Will definitely pop in again whilst in the area.

Sadly, gone off since change of management

We used to love this place But no more Cold - bring a thick coat because the fires are frugal and the draught covers on the doors have been removed The menu is very poor- supposedly temporary but even so cold soup and overpriced basic bread and scotch eggs is taking the Mickey ! And plastic candles on the tables - really- who is running this place one has to ask - is this a real country pub or a plastic thiem park cafe ? Many pubs are struggling to survive and it is really really sad - but this one is committing suicide ! Just awful!!

We arrived at 12.00:and they weren’t ready for customers. It was very cold and unwelcoming . We kept our coats on all the time which is ridiculous. A pub must be warm , comfortable and welcoming. The food took ages to come and the barmaid told us they were busy cooking everything. Several dishes were not available. We waited and the wood burning stove never even got warm though it was lit. I could put my hand on it when we left. The food was ok . My sausages, broccoli and mashed potatoes was pleasant. My friends risotto was “ok “ . Instead of the burger bun my husband had a brioche which made it ridiculously tall. We got the wrong bill for considerably less than ours. When we told them but there was no thankyou. Maybe we should just have kept quiet . Would never go again.

Loved it. Food was homemade and delicious. Pub was a real gem and the staff super friendly. Highly recommend. Will be back soon

I have visited this pub every few months for over 40 years. I visited at lunch time and was expecting its usual selection of light meals (sandwiches. soup, cheese nachos. ploughmans etc). Sadly the pub changed hands a couple of months ago and they had a very limited menu with about three starters and three main courses, some of which were "unavailable". Had I not already ordered our drinks I would have left immediately. I ordered whitebait, which was OK, but did not have bread with it, and would not have been my choice of a very limited menu option. Sadly, I will give the place a miss, until I hear that its back to its old ways.
