The Wyke Down in Test Valley

Lovely atmosphere, got us fitted in considering it's Easter Sunday. Carvery was lovely, very generous meat portions too. Fresh veg, loads to choose from. My partner had the burger and said it was one of the best burgers he has had! - he is extremely fussy, so this speaks volumes from him. Our waitress Becky was absolutely lovely, she was so hands on, and very accommodating to a large group of us. She was very polite, and very interactive with us. Which is lovely. Service is key to a good meal out, and Becky certainly delivered.

The menu was uninspiring and it seemed soulless. Having said that it was quite busy, service was slow (considering the menu was quick cook items). There was nothing actually wrong, it did the job but nothing more.

Been here several times, but this was our first Sunday lunch , we were in the conservatory , though busy the tables were a good distance apart ! EXCELLENT , food , service , ambiance and the whole experience ,including the value for money ! We opted for the Sunday roast from the carvery , beef, pork or Turkey , fantastic choice of vegetable and the biggest Yorkshire puddings you could wish for ! Highly recommended 👍 P.S. Gravy was to die for 👌

Absolutely amazing carvery, I was so happy to see pork and crackling! The waitresses are lovely and the landlady is so welcoming. This was my first time coming and I was so impressed that my partner and I are coming back next week. 100% worth the visit and really good value for money. Thank you!!

Went for Sunday Lunch with family, due to recent funeral. There were 12 of us and we only booked 1 day in advance, with staff very helpful. Sunday Roast was excellent - 3 choices of Meat and lots of Fresh Cooked Vegetables. Very reasonably priced. My brother used this pub regularly and reminded me that we had had a meal there about 15 years ago.

Popped in on Saturday for the first time. Lovely warm welcome and very friendly service. Good selection of food. Tried the Cajun spicy chicken burger which was delicious. Food and drink very reasonably priced . All in all a very pleasant experience.

We haven't been here for a few years , back then all our family visited here , we all came here to celebrate family birthdays or anniversaries & we have made many happy memories at this lovely pub . We were talking about this place while we were out last week & we were told that is is still very good so we booked the Sunday Carvery & we thoroughly enjoyed our lunch . Choice of meat , plenty of vegetables to choose from & yorkshire puddings & gravy & it was lovely & hot & delicious . Great service , happy staff . I would definitely recommend it here , we will be going back again

My wife booked a Sunday lunch for our anniversary dinner. On arriving we were shown our table and went for the Sunday lunch option at the carvery, I was told by the waitress to tell the person behind the counter I was gluten free. On selecting my roast dinner, I could not have a Yorkshire pudding or any stuffing and had to wait for my gluten free gravy. The meal was ok but nothing special. For dessert I could have strawberry ice cream and nothing else. I did mention that I thought they could be had for false advertising as they advertised gluten free meals. My wife did post a review on Facebook but as it was a negative review, they took it down. I will not be going there again.

We had a large group when we visited and that was no problem to them. We all enjoyed the carvery but the puddings weren't great. Very reasonably priced.

I took my mum and young grandson for lunch yesterday and was very impressed with the food and friendly service. My grandson loved playing in the garden!

If you are looking for a cosy pub to have a romantic meal, then this is not the place for you, especially early evening. It is very "open plan" with young children running around, who can be a little noisy. Saying that, if you want good food, and decent prices, then give them a try, the sausage and mash is excellent, not complaints about the food at all, It is clean, and functional.

Visited here Easter Saturday with 7 family members. Very friendly & efficient service from Zoe, Scott & Mica, well done. Good Pub food and huge portions. Nice friendly & relaxed atmosphere with several rooms to eat in, a conservatory and outside eating with play area for the kids. Also 2 Pool tables and darts which keeps the older kids entertained whilst Adults can have a leisurely meal and drink. Lovely party room too. Good value; 7 main meals with drinks and 3 desserts- only £150. Will definitely visit again and can recommend. Only criticism is they need increased dessert options!

Visited as a large group on Sunday, carvery day! I’m not normally a carvery person as can’t bare frozen veg/potatoes/stuffing/yorkies but as I was visiting with family (17 of us) I thought I’d give it a go. This carvery was fantastic, there was a choice of three meats and a veggie option, roast potatoes to die for, perfect Yorkshire puds, yummy stuffing, freshly perfectly cooked veg, cauliflower and leek cheese, scrumpy gravy and all the sauces you could need. The place was very busy but the staff were fantastic, serving drinks promptly. All staff were attentive, polite and generally made our visit lovely. We enjoyed our dinner so much that we’re coming back Mother’s Day! Thank you!

Love this pub. It’s friendly and has a relaxed atmosphere. The staff are all friendly, polite and helpful. Then the food If you see the chocolate orange cheesecake on the menu I wouldn’t bother ordering anything else for desert. Great pub Great guy that runs it Would definitely recommend it from parties and quiet drinks

We held the wake for my mum here at the Wkye Down. We were a party of 30 people. The staff were amazing from the moment we arrived to the moment we left. We had a buffet of food which was freshly made with good quality ingredients. We had a selection of sandwiches, pork pies, scotch eggs and desserts which all the guests enjoyed. The location was great, we were situated in the conservatory so we could spread out into the garden and games room where we played pool and darts. The Wyke down was in a beautiful rural location which gave us lots of great views for us to do our balloon release. We have been to the Wyke down before and we will certainly return again

visited here several times, always good and today with family and friends. Was very busy, nice friendly ambiance, good to see. Great Sunday lunch, big portions and delicious. Lovely friendly service from Paige and Robbie Welfare. Great value, can definitely recommend.

A great curry buffet , with all the sides and as little or as much as you could eat. The Quiz questions were challenging. It was a great relaxed atmosphere and everybody had a good laugh . Look forward to the next one.

Really nice food. Looks much better since the new owners have taken over. All the tat has been removed off the wall. Food was lovely. Both of us had the mixed grill for 22.00. It was a lot of food, could not eat it all....

We popped in for lunch as an early Fathers Day treat and weren't disappointed. The pub has recently changed hands and been refurbished, really bringing a comfortable and contemporary feel. Parking is good and the clean loos have full size baby changing fascilies. The bar...

Spacious with different areas to choose from to sit and have a drink or eat, large garden with activity area, such friendly and helpful staff, fantastic service, fantastic & yummy food, family & animal friendly, would go back in a flash; highly recommended! 😁

My partner and I recently visited wyke down pub for a casual Sunday lunch, and that’s exactly what we received. Food was amazing (compliments to the chef) service was great and all round simply a very good pub since new management.

Was delighted to see this pub has reopen and what a difference . The food was excellent(i had the lasangua and my girlfreind had the ribs) and the service has been taken to another level . Very impressed

Went for a meal with friends to try the new menu , this pub has just reopened . The new management seem friendly. We had three courses , probably should of only had two , (eyes bigger than belly’s. ) . The food was all...

Not great being honest. Had roast pork and wasn’t that impressed, thankfully I wasn’t paying! Pretty much pre-cooked everything. Lesson learnt.

The roast was very good, plenty of everything, roast potatoes had not been cooked in a fryer, always a bonus, veg all in dishes to help yourself, lots of gravy. Friendly staff, not rushed at all.

Had an amazing family meal here today. Mothers Day and the place was packed, but food was piping hot, all 10 meals served tgether, good portions, and staff coped amazingly

Went on recommendation to the Wyke Down mid week-evening. It was Wednesday 'Pie Night' and what a great pie I had, steak, bacon and ale in a lovely pastry jacket, possibly too much to eat but I finished it anyway. My wife had an excellent rump steak so all was good and at a fair price.

We visited The Wyke Down with friends. Service was quick; the choice on the menu is very limited however the food was very tasty and served piping hot. They also do smaller portions on some meals which is good for people with smaller appetites. We had no complaints until the desserts came. The dessert board was very disappointing. It had the usual cold desserts like trifle, Eton mess sundae and banoffi pie but no chocolate brownie, steamed pudding, crumble or pie with custard. None of those "rib sticking" puddings which are so tempting and so fashionable these days. It was a Friday night so there should have been a good selection on for the weekend. Anyone who has eaten at the Wyke knows their pavlova is legendary and that didn't disappoint however one of our party ordered the cheesecake. A exceedingly small portion - definitely no more than 3 cms at the thickest end. It was served in the middle of a large plate with no cream, sauce or decoration of any kind. The saying "pea on a drum" springs to mind. It was literally 3 mouthfuls. Compared to the size of the pavlova it was a paltry offering. It's alwAys difficult complaining in front of guests so we didn't say anything. What I would say is if you love your main course I dont think you'll have a problem with it but if you're a pudding lover think again.

I went to the Wyke Down with a group of 5 friends during December 2017, and found that the drinks were served well and the food was lush. The draught drinks weren't the cheapest, but they were all very nice pints, served in an equally lovely comfortable atmosphere, making the drinks well worth their money.

we used to eat regularly at the WD after work , so we thought we would give it a try after a couple of years eating elsewhere but this will probably be our last visit. The attitude towards our choice of eating in the restaurant was odd and rude, the food was average for the price and the whole experience was unexpected. with so much choice even around Andover these days, an outdated and unwelcoming country pub needs to be far better than we witnessed last night.

Heading to Gatwick with friends and neededa stop off, only five minutes of the road so very handy, nice pub with great Decor, nice menu with local produce and very good value, very much enjoyed our food, nice staff and will visit again

Unusual starter menu ,not a very good choice of main and the sweet were like samples well over priced for what it was

We need somewhere that would take a large group at short notice. They accomodated us very well and allowed us to pretty much take over the restaurant. The food was all freshly prepared and great as all enjoyed there meals. Prices are always reasonable.

Visitamos aquí para mi cumpleaños el 90 de julio, wth nan un tamaño grupo de c 20. La comida era muy buena, de hecho, fui por el filete, champiñones y bacon flan con nuevas ollas y vegetales. Sin embargo, se requiere también un tamaño raro polvo fuera de 16 onzas y la cadera cosas de pollo. Todos estos iban de muy buena a excelente. La razón por la que es de 4 estrellas y no más, es porque el servicio era un poco lento. En general, disfrutamos de una agradable tarde.

Por Wyke comidas son una excepcional relación calidad-precio y si va a ser un ciudadano Senior luego podrá disfrutar de una comida de 2 platos, en el almuerzo por menos de 10 libras, tienen un menú especial para S. C. consiste de una porción más...

Good food at economical prices. A wide variety of tastes suited. Staff helpful. Lots of tables. Suitable for large and small groups.

4 de nosotros tuvimos una cena de 3 platos diferentes todos eran muy buenos, bien cocinada y buenas porciones de tamaño.

Un grupo grande de personas para una comida de cumpleaños y ninguno de nosotros quedamos muy contentos y nos dijeron que nunca volvería. El personal era grosero y miserable, nos trataron como una molestia. Nos pedidos la comida con antelación y especialmente preguntó sobre que viene con verduras como las cenas de asado hay ciertas cosas que la gente no me gusta. Nos dijeron que tendríamos que col y miel tostados y financiarlo Patacas Chirivías, y ordenó la cenas asado sobre esa base, en vez de eso nos dieron el brócoli y zanahoria, con colliflower sin explicación o disculpa. De todos modos no era popular, pero todo el mundo pareció difícil y no degustación muy agradable. Nadie disfrutó de su cena de asado. También pedimos salsa, que no llegó hasta que todo el mundo ya habían acabado de comer, sin excusa, a actitud cuando nos dijo que no lo necesitamos ahora. También la cerveza era y tenía que ser cambiado 3 veces, antes de cambiar a luz ale que sabía asquerosa como parmesano! La peor experiencia que he tenido y una comida muy decepcionante cumpleaños. La comida, la bebida y el servicio muy pobre. No lo recomendaría.

always has a good menu and good value wide choices and the service is gtreat Has good options for senior people with very very good prices

Como dice el título, no esperaba mucho, pero la comida era muy buena. El edificio está muy de moda y la música de fondo de los años 80, pero estaba limpio, era bueno y todo lo de pociones estaba bien preparado. Menú es bastante limitados pero sin duda regresaría de nuevo.

En mi opinión, la Wyke por no obtener el crédito que se merece.

Iv comido aquí varias veces y ha sido muy agradable.

Recently moved to Andover and taken to this pub. Huge menu so spoilt for choice. Will come back here again

One of the better Sunday lunches in the area. Always a warm welcome. Prices not too bad. Great location

Fuimos dos parejas, 20s, para unos tragos y cena pub, ya que era un viernes por la noche.

Visited for a family event and were only offered a very limited menu, not sure why as we also had to email our meal choices a week in advance so surely you could offer the full menu when you have so much time to prepare

Very refreshing to find a real pub doing good solid pub grub. Have visited quite a few times with family, partner and indeed a christmas business lunch. Helpful friendly staff and reasonable prices.

Friendly service and very good food. The 'pensioners' menu was a good portion size and excellent value. A very nice place for lunch or dinner.

Both me and my wife were sick and off work ill after eating in here.Avoid at all costs - the kitchen must be bas to make me ill 3 TIMES! such a shame as it is our local but would not feed the food to my dog!

A quick stop for lunch on the way to Salisbury from London, a random pub selected with a bit of help and advice from know it all google.A nice pub not to far from the A303 so ideal for our purpose, large car park and appeared to have a separate restaurant, there was one bar with several areas where you can sit down, a garden and a couple of pool tables.There were four of us, we ordered a Chilli jacket potato, brie and bacon jacket, a cajun chicken baguette and a beef and horseradish baguette. Together with 2 medium white wines and 2 pints of Amstel the bill came to £35.70.The food arrived promptly, no complaints, got a Ronseal moment - got exactly what is said on the tin (board).We picked from the small table top menus as it was a quick lunch but I have taken a picture of the large wall menu which will hopefully expand and be readable to show the many other items they have on offer.Would I go again, yes I would have no issue with eating there again.

New management are excellent, really friendly. Same head chef so same excellent food quality and portions. Great value for money, lovely visit. We had a 'special' jacket potato, smokey meat and BBQ baked beans and chilli and jalapeño burger, both were fantastic!! Really looking forward to tasting the new smoked BBQ foods on Friday nights!!

Visited again with friends last night. My blue steak cooked perfectly as well as well cooked deep fried brie, hot and runny like it should be. Good local ale that changes frequently. I noticed how helpful they tried to be to some non English speakers. Steamed pudding always my husbands favourite. All round good night out.

Wyke Down is an ideal place for reasonably priced meal.There is ample seating and the staff are friendly and accomadating.The setting is rural and some of the food is locally sourced.Large parties can be fitted in unlike some.

Peter was great very friendly service made a real fuss of us, even gave us a present. Avery nice touch we thought.

We often go to the Wyke for a meal and we particularly enjoy Sunday Lunch, we have never had a bad meal at all in all the years we have been going. On this particular visit we took a couple of friends one of which has very special dietary requirements following a series of operations. We have always been treated well and the staff are always helpful and very friendly, but this time they really couldn't have done more to help us and our friends. The food, as always was excellent, but thye were so good with my friends special needs nothing was too much trouble and the service was even better than we could have expected. We all had a wonderful meal and our friend was so well looked after, It made her day and for once she didn't feel like she was causing a fuss or asking for the moon.I would willingly recommend the Wyke for a meal - at any time - and Sunday Lunch is just sublime. (And there is no washing up).
