The best restaurants in Froxfield and Steep East Hampshire South East

Stumbled across this place - proper old fashioned country pub with a small but utterly perfect menu of ales, local wine, boxed cider and glorious pub food. Only a tiny pub but quite a big garden - lovely in the sun, but also some undercover areas if raining. Ploughman’s and quiche both amazing - all homemade, including the bread. Fabulous.

Great experience. Friendly staff - owner/operators gave it a personal touch, very comfortable rooms, good value for money and a delicious Wagyu burger on the specials menu. A bike shed to protect your steed from the elements for cyclists is the cherry on top.

A Friday night meal when unfortunately they forgot our order. Maybe because we had a small child, we were squeeze into a room off the bar. Not a great experience although I have to say the oysters were fresh and tasty wine was not chilled so unlike previous visits this one was a disappointment.

Food great and our waitress Beth was fantastic

Breakfast was ok Coffee is terrible.

Think we might have just been a little unlucky. It was mothers day, so very busy, and I have a feeling our experience was affected by this. Unfair to criticise, but we left feeling disappointed.

Disappointing. We usually come here in preference to other similar places in the area as the service is usually good. Today was just not acceptable. Waited patiently while two staff members were at the till chatting with an elderly lady customer who it seemed they either knew or may be a regular. No problem with that Next in the queue was a staff member. Again no problem with that, but the two staff members behind the till then had a good laugh, joke and sing song with the third member. What I did have a problem with was waiting for 5 minutes in a place which wasn't particularly busy, without an acknowledgement or any sense of urgency that we were waiting in the queue. Leaving aside the fact that it should only take one person to work the till, I just won't tolerate such poor customer service. We simply left and went elsewhere.

Lovely pub - nice atmosphere, good service (very accommodating), delicious food. Really family friendly. Would definitely return.
