The best restaurants in Chilworth, Nursling and Rownhams Test Valley South East

Lived in village 10 plus years. First visit to Pipasa. Won’t be going back. It was ok but there is much much better Indian meals to be had and much better quality. The open kitchen allowed me to view rice being moved from pot to pot by hand which isn’t great. In this day n age we should not be getting reheated chicken breast either. They need to sharpen up at Pipasa.

So far I’ve tried a Kebab and a Burger and they were both delicious, good quality meat and quick and friendly service and the Chips are the best !

I took my mum here for mother daughter afternoon tea and it was amazing! The decor is so cute. The service, we had a Greek man (I think he was Greek!) I didn’t catch his name sorry, but he was the sweetest man, amazing customer service! The afternoon tea is very very reasonably priced, unlimited hot drinks including lattes/cappuccinos etc. The portion size was very large! We asked for it to be boxed up to take away as we couldn’t eat it all! Could have easily fed 3/4. The scones came out warm and fluffy which made mum super happy and after we walked the wonderful grounds in the sunshine before leaving! Brilliant day, brilliant service, brilliant price. Would recommend and I will be back :)

I and three friends bought a four-ball here in a charity auction. The welcome we got in the clubhouse was warm and friendly and he enjoyed lovely bacon baps and coffee before heading out on a slightly murky day. As we passed the pro shop, a man quite rudely told us he had to use hedgehog wheels on our trolleys because the course was 'soft'. Since none of us had them (there had been nothing on their website to warn us) we all had to hire trolleys from the club. The trolleys we were given were wrecked - mine had two wheels facing in different directions - and once out on the course, we saw several members who weren't using hedgehog wheels. It felt like they were taking advantage of us as visiting guests. The course was lovely and was certainly dry enough to take standard wheels.

Excellent place, excellent food excellent golf course.

Only popped in for a drink but it seemed like a lovely pub. Nice chilled atmosphere. Both the inside and outside areas looks amazing.

Amazing service from the staff the food is amazing lovely play area for the children inside and outside will definitely be returning

Absolutely delicious 😋, well presented. The waiter we had was very friendly as well, which gave to a very good experience. Thankyou

Location was a hindrance but overall a pleasant experience

I was really looking forward to eating here and I had heard really good things. I would love to give a good review but never got past the front door! Staying at the hotel nearby and advised food provided at the Moldy Fig. Went in, and no one around, and it looked closed. Waited for a few minutes to see if anyone showed. After a bit, some turned up but was not interested in seeing if I needed assistance and hurried into the back office, giving no acknowledgement. Hopefully, this is a one-off and just bad timings. UPDATE. So breakfast was a lot better, hot food ordered to your table and a good choice of other foods. The service was very good. I have raised some scores to reflect this.

The hotel has no AC in the rooms, and actually they have no running ventilation in the sleeping area, just the bathroom. Speaking of area, the area around the hotel is tragic. On the plus side the pizza is delicious and the drafted beer is cold and cheap. Parking is free. The mood and the competence of the crew varies a lot.

Excellent gastropub. Very busy on Saturday night but still excellent service from Penny and the other serving staff. Our table was slightly cramped for 6 people but Penny saw the problem and reset another table for us to move to without being asked.Good varied menu. Food very nice. Recommended.

Do NOT eat here unless you are ok with waiting over an hour for your food.... I asked for a refund and left, starving, after 1 hour and 5 minutes waiting. They refunded with no apology.

Down side to the pub: the location and the external look of the pub. Good side: you hardly hear the traffic when sitting inside, the interior of the pub is clean & well maintained, it has a good size car park and garden, the staff were friendly and professional, the food we had was very good and reasonably priced , the kids meals were nearly the same size as the adult main meals. This was our first visit but wont be our last.
