The best restaurants in Rowlands Castle East Hampshire South East

I arrived in the cafe in my usual happy manner. The lady who was guarding the till asked what I wanted, no hello good morning or smile. I asked for a large capacino extra hot and extra wet. The woman said chocolate on top? I said only if it's a pretty pattern. She replied we don't do pretty patterns here. I then said how about a nice heart shape. The woman replied we don't love anyone here either. What an awful woman. I guess she's the owner because of she had worked in one of my shops she would not have lasted long with the attitude. I turned to the girl standing next to me who also worked there and I said "blimey she's happy" the girl just smiled. What an atmosphere to work in. My friend who met me there wanted another drink but we decided to not give this venue anymore money so we had a lovely cup of tea in the very friendly welcoming pub just a, few steps away. Some people are made to work in retail and or with the public. Some people obviously are not.

The best atmosphere ever. The welcome supplied by Mary and Kerry is something I have never experienced in a pub before. They create a fun and friendly culture that makes anyone that is lucky enough to find this gem feel welcome. They care about their customers as friends and if I’m honest the worst thing about the Fountain is that it is often difficult to leave 😂. And I haven’t mentioned Scampi, Bungle and Bertie-May the cats 🐈 🐈‍⬛ 🐈 🤗 Don’t hesitate give the Fountain a go…

All good, but vacuuming the restaurant while we were still eating was unacceptable. And this wasn't to clear up a spill, it was their end of day clear up. Not good

Well arrived a little later than expected on Sunday 29th September, I surprised the parents who eat here regularly on Sundays for the roast. I had the beef roast with extra vegetables, service was excellent, great atmosphere, for pudding I had the treacle toffee pudding with ice cream. Mum and dad throughly enjoyed their meals as usual. Compliments to the chef and all the waiting staff Who provided a great service even though it was very busy. We have discussed as a family to come for a Christmas get together, we better get our skates on as they are very popular!!

Just loved it you can tale your dog and so much to see .BRILLIANT

We had a wonderful afternoon tea experience! The quality of the food was exceptional, with a great selection of delicious treats. The service was warm, friendly, and attentive, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommend for a relaxing and delightful afternoon.

I booked a table in the restaurant for a special occasion. On arrival we were told that there was a half hour wait for food. We were fine with this as we understand it was a busy time with it being the fireworks night locally. What we were not prepared for was the unfortunate attitude of the supervisor when we complained to her about it being an excessive wait of one and a half hours for the food. She did not care at all. She was smirking . The food was very nice. But the supervisor did not care that the lateness of the food caused us to miss the fireworks night locally. We thought 2 hours prior to it was adequate enough. Had we been told there was over an hour to wait for food we would have cancelled our booking. I am sure supervisor will not care but we will not be returning. We can overlook food being late but will not overlook the poor attitude of this supervisor that clearly did not give a hoot and actually smirked when we told her we had missed the fireworks.
