The best restaurants in Liss East Hampshire South East

There are insufficient superlatives to describe the quality of food, service, and the overall atmosphere at this remarkable restaurant. Thanks to Evi, who runs the front of house, and Nathan, the world class chef for an excellent dining experience.

Lovely café, very good coffee, excellent friendly staff

Absolutely amazing food, Sha is a lovely hoste, great prices and one of the best curry's I've ever had.

Nice little country pub with a decent selection of beers. Unfortunately we were the only people there on a Sunday night. So sad.

This is a great family pub, also dogs allowed. We had a fab lunch here with friends. The service was great, the staff were lovely and friendly and there was a great atmosphere. I’ve only given 4 stars as the veg on the Sunday roast was a little hard for my taste. Otherwise it is definitely a 5 star pub for service. We’ll be back ! .

It’s a few years since we’ve been to this restaurant and we had many good experiences in the past. Sadly, this visit was less than impressive. Our relatively early evening booking saw poppadoms and pickle tray delivered. One dipping pot was chipped in several places and really should be discarded in the bin. Tight servings of the pickle dishes for 6 people - perhaps review the portion sizes you serve as a plain poppadom is little more than a large crisp otherwise. Drinks arrived eventually. Main courses ordered and we sat back and chatted, chatted, chatted…waiting for the plates we used for our poppadoms to be collected from the table. A gentle hint of the customers stacking up these plates eventually caught the attention of the waiter and he came over to remove them from our table. Then we had time to chat, chat, chat, chat whilst waiting for our main course to be served. Thank goodness we didn’t order anything over complicated or starters. After an hour and a quarter we caught one of the waiters and politely asked whether our main course was due to arrive. As if by magic, we were informed we were next and the dishes arrived in a rather haphazard disorganised way, so our group got rice but no curry or their curry but no rice etc. Rice portion sizes were also very small. Several of the dishes served to our group contained chicken - it was tough. The chicken jalfrazi looked like no other chicken jalfrazi I’d ever seen served in a similar restaurant. Very little tomato found within the jalfrazi hence it appeared rather too dark brown ( I know recipes differ). It was disappointing to see that tables are no longer covered in table cloths as most appear to be, chipped crockery, long waits before being served, waiters running in the restaurant, waiters carrying 4 plates, 4 rice dishes, plates of naan bread whilst serving customers - no serving trolleys or trays used. There was lots of rushing around by staff and perhaps far too many customers in the restaurant for the staff to cope with. Yes, it was busy, but when customers are forced to wait exceptionally long for their meals to arrive, the quality of cooking and ingredients, small portion sizes of dishes you start to question whether it’s worth going there again? Sadly, our answer to that would be an overwhelmingly no. There are so many other good restaurants in the area - Whitehill and Alton where service, quality of food and portion sizes are so good why would you want to return? Which is such a shame because in previous years we’ve had good food and a good experience here. I just wonder what has happened to change this? Maybe more staff are needed or spread table booking times so your kitchen and waiting staff aren’t so overwhelmed.

I recently had a frustrating experience at this pub. I received an £85 parking fine for parking just 10 minutes, during which I bought a coke. I've tried calling the pub multiple times, but their phone number never answers, and there’s no way to email them a copy of the transaction. Most places like golf clubs and hotels have clear signage or an iPad to validate parking when you enter the premises, or someone asks you to do it. And if you do get a fine but can prove you were a paying customer, they waive it. But this pub is different. I wasn’t looking for a sign outside because, honestly, it’s a pub – you don’t expect a parking validation policy. I want to warn others: be careful when visiting this pub and parking. You might end up with a hefty fine for a quick visit. It’s clear they don’t prioritise customer service or transparency. Instead of making themselves available for contact, they seem to prefer hiding behind the supposed legitimacy of there being clear signage in the car park, while unfairly taking your hard-earned cash.

I regularly visit this cafe. Excellent service. Food v good value for money. Menu regularly reviewd. Pop up evening meals very good. A real asset to the village. Ambience friendly with a real buzz.

Tried to have lunch here today. It was lunchtime and with the relatively small choice of meals and snacks available, (breakfast stops at 11:30am) it would have been reasonable to assume that demand could be met. Wrong! With only three quarters of tables occupied, my first choice of meal was unavailable due to a lack of potatoes. So, having had to choose another dish, twenty minutes passed before being informed that an ingredient for that was missing. I found this unacceptable and left having been refunded for the inconvenience of having to put up with such shoddy service. I was not the only complainant and something needs doing to improve service in this establishment.
