The best restaurants in Harewood Test Valley South East

First time at Plough Inn, service was quick, roast portion large and tasty. However, the menu seemed quite pricey, even for our area and beer was average, bit cold for ale I thought.

Booked a table for 4 on a chilly Saturday evening. When we arrived the bar was busy, lively and warm with a lovely log fire. Our table looked very welcoming and our drinks and food order was taken promptly. Food arrived piping hot and was delicious and plenty of it. In fact, it was so good we ended up having 3 courses instead of the 2 we'd planned previously. A lovely evening and would definitely recommend visiting, thank you!

Heidi and Colin are great hosts at the helm of a true village gem! Our third visit for dinner and it was as perfect as the first. The atmosphere is always relaxed and welcoming—just the right mix of cosy and lively. It’s the kind of place where you feel comfortable straight away. They’ve a great selection or drinks and the pints go down too easily. The food was spot on too with a great variety to suit all palates and different specials every time. Each time we’ve visited, we’ve all opted for something different — and every single dish has been packed with flavour, cooked perfectly, and served in generous portions. Definitely good value for money. Last night we happened to go on quiz night, which was a great laugh. The questions were a good mix—some tricky, some funny—and the host kept things moving nicely. Friendly competition without it feeling too serious. The locals are also stars of the show while the staff were brilliant—friendly, quick to help, and always smiling. Nothing is too much trouble here. You can tell they enjoy what they do, which really adds to the whole experience. All in all, a fantastic spot that keeps us coming back. Highly recommended—whether you’re local or just passing through, it’s well worth a visit.

Great Find, Outstanding food Friendly and welcoming staff Quaint little Inn, Dog friendly and stunning garden will be back Thank you

It’s closed for refurbishment. Not likely to be open in 2025

I took a party of 20+ here today and 5*’s isn’t enough praise! The staff were extremely helpful, polite & friendly , especially when we had to organise enough chairs & tables. There was a good variety of both drinks and food & from the scones to the chocolate cake everyone praised the food highly! Ok so at times there was a small queue but that’s only to be expected from a popular, friendly and well respected venue. It just proves that JLP have the right approach with good food, friendly atmosphere & lovely surroundings. If you have to spend a few minutes queuing, then just relax & enjoy where you are! Well done & thank you to all the staff, we all thought you were great & will definitely be returning!

Amazing food! Loved the Beetroot bourguignon. The Apple Charlotte was amazing. Staff were friendly and helpful. Excellent service. Beautiful location. Can’t wait to return in the summer.

Good stop before M3. The coffee was excellent, the lavatories were clean and best of all were the staff - jolly, helpful, charming and deeply efficient. A seriously good stopover.
