The Yew Tree in East Hampshire

Been going for some years,twice a year to meekt up with friends. Think there is new management as place was buzzing.

Had visited a couple of times previously for lunch on walks but not for a couple of years and when needing somewhere for a family celebration dinner booked based on continued excellent reviews. We were very happy with our choice. All the food we had (bread with garlic butter, 5 mains and 2 deserts) was excellent and all the staff were very helpful and friendly. Good wine and decent Thatchers Gold cider, our dog was also made very welcome. Wish we lived closer to visit more often - a superb pub with brilliant food and service!

Cosy country pub with great homecooked meals and friendly team. The food is always good here! Good hearty portions and local produce.

Lovely cosy pub in quiet semi rural location

Brilliant pub. Great atmosphere, staff very friendly and helpful. Food exceptional. Highly recommend, a real gem.

I had the beef and sticky toffee pudding, everyone had excellent food, will be back again!

Visited the Yew Tree early evening in need of a well deserved drink and meal after a 10 mile hike locally. Fortunately a cancellation meant a table was free for the 4 of us. Menu choice was good but 3 of us selected the Steak and Ale pie with Veg mash and sautéed Mushrooms- the other went for the Green Thai Curry. The Presentation and quality was superb .. The lure of a Dessert was too hard to resist - again beautifully presented and so tasty. Value for money, perfect quantity and above all very testy. Service was also good. A place not to be missed- we will be returning

Our first visit and we arrived at 12.30 to find the place packed (always a good sign) The staff could not have been more welcoming and happy to see us (one said we're just happy to be here) Yes it's an olde world style pub, but it's one that's full of character. Now to the main event - the food! My wife had the Venison Stroganoff which she really enjoyed and I had the classic beef burger, which was clearly home made and delicious. The dish of the day was beef pie. We saw quite a few of them passing by and they looked tremendous (home made our waitress told us) Hopefully they will be on the menu the next time we visit.

Fantastic food, we were really impressed. It was so delicious, I had the beef blade and the jus in particular was incredible. Staff were so helpful and thoughtful catering for my allergies. Nice wee pub with good beer on tap and great friendly service. We are definitely going back.

This is our second Christmas Dinner we have eaten here with the family. As always the food is really good, great menu and choice, it has a cosy atmosphere.

This was the hearty meal and atmosphere I came to England to find! Friendly staff, fresh tasty food.

Fantastic lunch at this small proper pub. Food and service was excellent...will def be going back again.

Wonderful meal, all so delicious! Staff so lovely accommodating our large family gathering including my 93 yr old mother and very small grandchildren. Highly recommended and will definitely be returning. Thank you x

Just amazing, highly recommend, one of the best food in the area and lovely service and ambience.

What a little gem! Been years since I’ve been here but current owners doing an amazing job. So few pubs that have a real country pub feel to them. Proper pub grub done superbly by a chef who clearly cares and has finesse, great menu selection… that blade of beef was stunning. Staff lovely too. We’ll be back very soon!

Lucky to get a table for lunch today, had no idea how popular this place is. Best food and service we've had in ages and dog friendly. What a find! Only one issue, how do I move closer?!

Nice place, lovely owner, delicious lasagna!

Just a gem of a place. Everything from the ambience to service to the food is off the charts. You must visit.

Fantastic country pub with friendly staff and beautiful food - highly recommend

Lovely pub and great pub food, cooked to order. Served by a cheery American lass.

What a horrible wet evening only to discover at the end of a wet journey we would enjoy a very lovely pub/restaurant we will look forward to visiting again in better weather conditions. The food excellent along with very a friendly and helpful staff. Thankyou for making a yukky day turn into something very enjoyable.

Fantastic evening with friends, nothing too much trouble and food and service excellent. Will definitely be back.

We had a fabulous evening, service and food was great. Lovely friendly atmosphere and our family dog was able to share the evening with us.

We called in with a last minute booking today. The team were really helpful and managed to squeeze us in. So pleased we had lunch here - it was amazing. We both had the Sunday roast and it was fabulous, and came with the best cauliflower cheese I think I’ve ever tasted. Brilliant team, friendly and helpful and superb food. We will be visiting again!

Went for Sunday lunch Friendly welcome, good selection of food. I had the roast beef which was excellent followed by the best sticky toffee pudding I have had in a long time. Pub was very busy so I would advise booking

We stopped for lunch on our walk of the local area to find a typical country village pub and restaurant. Unassuming on the outside but once through the doors several comfortable rooms surrounding a generous bar. Rooms mostly set for dining. Two local cask ales on offer and both sampled were in excellent condition and well served by friendly staff. The menu had a reasonable selection but an odd preponderance of dishes served with boiled rice. The food was tasty. Busy for a weekday lunchtime. Uncomfortably low lighting in our dining area.

Lovely little pup, fantastic food and lovely staff. What more could you want.

This is a pub that I have often passed and admired. This week we eventually went for food. It's a very traditional country pub. Good choice of beers. The menu had great choices, traditional and further afield combined. This really is a country pub where friendly dogs roam. If this isn't for you then you many not be happy. For us, it adds to the atmosphere. The welcome and service was excellent throughout. I had a grilled chicken and chorizo salad as a starter. Very tasty and generous portion. My wife had the pea risotto, our two friends had scampi and chips and pan fried salmon. All looked lovely. I chose a hot sweet and sour calamari dish that was also sold as a starter. It was quite hot and I like hot, it was also a very generous portion. Personally it makes a better starter than a main dish. The taste was very sweet and intense that makes it a perfect starter. A bit too much for a main dish. When serving is as a main dish it would have gone well with some rice just to take the edge off. The prices are very reasonable. There were two main specials, pan fried salmon and the other a fillet steak. I wish that when the specials are announced they would also let you know the price of the specials. Maybe it was on a board somewhere but I didn't see it. I'd have liked the fillet steak but as we were splitting the bill with friends I thought it might be a bit cheeky, particularly as I didn't know the price. I could have asked but not really the done thing.

I had booked this place for lunch as recommended by Hattingley Valley Winery where we were having an afternoon tour. It was a convenient mid point for both of us travelling from opposite directions and close to the winery. On arrival I was a little worried that the rustic look of the pub meant that the food would be the same, but the reviews weren’t wrong, the food is amazing! Staff very cheerful, friendly and helpful, a good variety food choices on menu. I had the shepherds pie which was huge but so delicious I nearly managed it all, tender meat and tasty gravy. My friend had the steak which was a special of the day and she said it was the best steak she has ever had, and she eats in a lot of nice places! Even though I live an hour away, I would be tempted to come back to sample the food in this lovely pub again.

This pub has long been a favourite fro its lovely location, friendly atmosphere and excellent food and it is still going strong and living up to its reputation. We came here for lunch on a Friday and had a really good lunch - the quality is slightly better and the pricing slightly lower than other local pubs (which themselves are still pretty good). We had shepherds pie and sausages, and these sorts of "pub classic" are really well done, while the menu does offer a good variety of dishes. The dessert menu is quite small but again was good value and good quality. The staff were very friendly and efficient and the atmosphere was very pleasant (with a nice line in background music which is interesting enough that you wonder what is coming next, while not being intrusive or too loud). All in all this is simply a great place for a meal and a drink and a real credit to the owners. We will definitely be back soon.

A stunning find⚡⚡ We both agree that this is one of the most charming English pubs we've ever visited (and Himself has visited a LOT🤭). We received a very warm welcome and we were squeezed in for Saturday lunch. The food was absolutely sensational and the chefs are clearly of a very high standard. The gravy was perfect, thick and glossy, the trio of sausages delightful atop tasty crispy bubble and squeak BUT for me the highlight of highlights was the shepherds pie🎉🎉 They used lamb chunks instead of mince, the mash on top was piped and then grilled. It was mouthwatering good and enough for two (or one with leftovers). The interior is beautiful, a nice combination of old English pub and the great British pop culture (ie. Beatles and Rolling Stones playing, lots of vinyls, James Bond art in the lavatories. We're already on a waiting list for tomorrow Sunday lunch haha!

Celebrated my birthday (think of the Beatles song: will you still need me, will you still feed me?) with a family dinner at this old country pub last week and we all had a great time. Staff were friendly, enthusiastic and efficient without rushing us. Food was imaginative and well-executed, and there was plenty of it. Nice pint of Flowerpots too. Good on catering to gluten-free and nut allergy requirements. Only slight downside is there is not much parking. Good value for money and recommended.

Loved my Thai salad. Would skip puddings next time. Almost gastro pub quality in an area with stiff competition.

Had a Family Sunday lunch and it was fantastic.There is nothing brought in ready prepared,microwave rubbish.Fantastic mains with an excess of fresh veg and a broccoli and cauliflower cheese that was just fantastic.Foyr days later and went back for an evening meal and the spicy Thai Calamari was the best plate of food I've ever had...magical.Next opportunity to eat here is in a few weeks and I'm already planning a large Calamari and a cheese board.Omg ,the size of the cheese board!!!!!😁

Fab country pub with excellent food and service. Just remember to ask for the wine list before ordering, as you might find a bottle costs a lot more than in other pubs in the locale.

We went to the Yew Tree today for lunch and could not have had a better meal. The food and service was excellent. The menu is varied with house specials which were packed with flavour at a fair price for quality. We will return asap.

Just superb. Nothing else needed to say. Food is heavenly. Just gotta get the in laws over from Woking to treat them and show how truly wonderful this place is :-)

Friendly, welcoming pub. Good service. Great food. Really enjoyed it. Juno is gorgeous😁

Very enjoyable lunch at a friendly local pub. Service excellent

We were staying locally for a couple of nights and wanted a nice pub meal. We didn’t realise how good our meal was going to be. I had the lasagna and my boyfriend had the steak burger. Both of them are insane. And then there is the sticky toffee pudding covered by my boyfriend‘s professional sticky, toffee opinion, it was the best he’d ever had! I stole the crusty corner. It was so good. We came back the following day for lunch, and I had a chicken burger with a buffalo sauce and we had the chilli loaded fries, he had a burger again and I’m writing this whilst we are constantly in having another dessert. Do not miss this pub. It’s a beautiful old style pub with amazing food and the staff are so brilliant as well. We nearly got stuck ordering a taxi on the Friday night and one of them offered to drop us back. 10 out of 5

Enjoy Sunday Roast EVERY TIME! Good selection of wine, warmly atmosphere, friendly staff (to both humans and dogs ❤️) great value for money and portion sizes are 👌

36 years ago I visited the Yew Tree, so lovely to see it really hadn’t lost its charm. Well worth visiting.

Lovely quiet location down a single track road. Great welcome and very knowledgeable waitresses. The food, we had roast lamb, steak and ale pie were really good. The best roast in a pub I have ever had.

This is really a fantastic little pub. It was by pure chance me and my partner found this pub, and what a treat it is. This is a lovely little country pub with some nice beers on tap. Seating out the front is good and under cover, aswell as to the side of the pub. The parking is very good, there is parking right next to the pub answell as 50yards down the road. Unfortunately I didn't get a chance to have any food there as they were very busy but the food that was coming out looked and smelt great. We will definitely be returning for food.

Stopped here on the off chance for a spot of lunch and so glad we did. Very friendly and welcoming and both the food and service were really excellent. Dishes were beautifully presented and delicious. Wide range of Gins for me to choose from as well which was a bonus. Would thoroughly recommend.

Fantastic food and a wonderful atmosphere, really recommended if you're in the area

Stunning pub food. Came as a group of 7 with a toddler and dog, the staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating. We were there for Sunday lunch and with most the group going for roast I had the Irish Stew special and my wife had the Thai Chicken Salad (very spicy, be warned!). All the food was fantastic quality and they brought platters full of veg for the middle of the table. Great value and great quality, highly recommend.

We went to the Yew Tree for our first date and Sunday lunch this day last year so we came back to celebrate our anniversary, at exactly the same table too. Food magnificent, service brilliant and couldn't bring ourselves to order dessert, we were stuffed! Don't stop what you are doing guys, you've got it spot on!

Absolutely lovely food and service. A lot to enjoy in a lovely village.

Lovely pub down a country lane in the middle of nowhere. Unsurprisingly, it was quite busy on a Sunday afternoon. Food looked very good and must be recommended, as the restaurant was full. Nice selection of beers. Friendly staff and locals. Plenty of seating inside and outside (under a marquee). Car park and overflow car park.

It's a really welcoming country pub. We enjoyed delicious food served by really friendly staff. Dogs are welcome. I hope to return someday.

Very welcoming atmosphere, good beer, great food. We have been a number of times and always enjoyed our visits.

One of the best pub Sunday roasts I've ever had

Awesome atmosphere and service, great food and warm company. Can’t wait to go again

We eat out at a lot of different pubs for Sunday lunch and the yew tree yesterday was by far and away the best one we have eaten Service was excellent too We shall be returning soon

Very accommodating, thank you for fitting us in. Amazing atmosphere lovely food and a cheese board to die for. Can not recommend this pub enough. Also pet friendly.

What a night..5 friends who have done a lot of walking..South Downs Way...Wayfarers Way etc. Looking for a pub to meet and celebrate a great year of walking. Little did we know we would have the best night of the year courtesy of the wonderful hosts and bar staff ..truly a night of nights..have not laughed so much in a long time..the banter went on all night and in between we had great food and great ales. This is truly a special place. Thank you. It is in the middle of nowhere but well worth seeking out. In the words of Arnie ..I'll be back!!!

The food was delicious, the service was lovely and the atmosphere was relaxed but professional. Notably the Tempura King Prawns, Sticky Blade of Beef, and the Chocolate Orange Cheesecake are something I would choose again.

Great food and service and a lovely cosy place

Excellent country pub. Well worth the trip

Excellent service, food and beer. All within a great publy atmosphere. Loved it. Immediate entry into my top-ten.

Beautiful setting and wonderful tasty food

What a great find this pub is, the food is excellent and the service is very warm and friendly. As a party of 5, we had a superb evening with plenty of banter with the wonderful waitress.

Three of us had a very enjoyable meal, very well cooked, beautifully presented and with excellent service, the Tempura Prawns were so delicious, then main courses of sea trout and the venison pie. A good evening, thank you to everybody at The Yew Tree.

Excellent food, good beer & friendly staff.

I am an American in the UK for a week. My friend brought me to the yew tree and it was the best British Pub experience I have ever had. The Sunday roast was Exceptional and the ambiance and energy is spectacular. Wonderful feel, fantastic...

Visit here regularly and it is always excellent. Great lager and cider on draught, the main menu always has a good selection and the varying specials are an added bonus. Staff are attentive and polite without being too intrusive and you are never made to feel rushed. There is always a good gap in between the courses too which so many places get wrong! Keep up the great work.

We come every now and again because we’re always disappointed with ‘behind bar’ staff. Today, once again, rude, abrupt attitude. Youngsters are great, older staff not so much! Time after time………..

Amazing atmosphere, super friendly staff and delicious food

Great setting and nice atmosphere. Good price but food slightly disappointing....Possibly due to pressure of having an event to cater for.

Marvellous,Matt and Jas got it off to a T

Really friendly, welcoming and cosy

Fabulous family friendly, music festival. What an excellent day, great music, tasty food, lovely staff and loads of parking. I would thoroughly recommend this festival for all ages. However, use Hattingly in your Sat Nav, we did have trouble finding the pub with its post...

Good food, and drinks friendly staff. Will be going back for more of the same.

We’ve been to this pub a few times for drinks and food and never been disappointed. Last night we went to see a live and in the garden. What a great night. The service at the bars was quick and cheerful the food was good...

Lovely local pub which is truly the heart of the local community. Great place to relax after a bike ride through the English countryside. Across the street from the local cricket grounds!

An idyllic and gem of a country pub serving delicious food by professional and friendly staff. The vegertarian choice is good and I recommend the stir fry.

What a fantastic place . Food was amazing. Great portions beautifully served by very helpful and attentive staff. Starters Mains and desserts enjoyed by all. Even the dogs loved all the attention. Highly recommend for a great dinner Thanks to all your staff...we will be back
