The best restaurants in Test Valley South East

We're at the point where Christmas and New Year are a distant memory (it's the 2nd of January!) - fancied a proper "old school" breakfast and that's exactly what we got. Generous portions and value for money - I even got to swap my beans for fried tomatoes (not tinned - tho' tinned are available). BTW beans are the vegetable of the Devil! 😀 Independent business (with an automotive theme) with loads of parking in a quiet industrial area, thoroughly recommended and we will be back. Thank you.

We visited as a group of 6 friends. Some of our group had already been for food here, and had been so enthusiastic about it, that we arranged this meal. We had lunch, and tried several dishes and the cheese and platter board between us, and wine suggested by the owner and his son. It was a brilliant meal, food was great, wine very good, but the atmosphere was like our visits to France, relaxed and friendly, nothing to rush for, very nice. I think you are likely to have to book ahead, it seemed very busy and popular. Great afternoon.

Excellent breakfast! The best in andover in my opinion, really friendly helpful staff and a really nice atmosphere, will be visiting again soon 🙂🙂😋😋

Free Pizza while working the Elections… thank you Nigel for your generosity! Pepperoni pizza was delicious and highly recommended the spicy honey!

This was our first visit here today and will not be our last. The staff were really friendly. The food was freshly prepared and cooked when ordered. A varied menu, from full English breakfast to burgers to home prepared lasagne. Delicious smoothies and cakes.... and not expensive. Give it a go....

No need for a booking, a decent café with great service. Staff are very friendly and the food is excellent. Prices are reasonable, we eat there at least once a week. Highly recommended.

Brilliant dinner and amazing service. Lovely team and Jess went the extra mile to make us desserts even when the kitchen was closed. Great night.

We returned to this traditional English pub for our anniversary, having met there 8 years prior. Great food and plenty of customers for a mid-week lunch is a nod to the landlord, who was super friendly and welcoming. Will definitely be back for our next anniversary, if not before!

Best breakfast around in my view and good range of choices. On fine days we like to sit in the open barn but it was a bit parky this time, so we were forced indoors. Staff always friendly and helpful.

We were on our way home from Mottisfont and saw a sign for two pubs. We pulled into The Grey Hound and asked if they served sandwiches. We have never tasted sandwiches like this before, they were off the scale. My partner had a very special sausage sandwich with dipping gravy and I had a Croque Monsieur. Both were served with homemade coleslaw and leaves with a delicious dressing. The young lad behind the bar was friendly and welcoming, as was the lady we spoke to when we left. I would highly recommend The Grey Hound and can only imagine how excellent dinner would be, as the chef is clearly very talented.

Lovely tea and cake. Very large slices Great service and lovely staff. Nice to sit outside in the sunshine

Had a do here for my brother's 65th birthday, We went for their standard buffet package and the food was amazing, a lot of choice and plenty of it. I dealt with Nicole throughout the arrangements and she was brilliant and so helpful and accommodating even decorating the room with decorations we provided. On the day all the staff were so helpful, everyone had a great time. I would thoroughly recommend The Clatford Arms, and a big bit thankyou to all for making it a lovely afternoon.

Great egg and bacon roll, very fair price and pleasant service. Will definitely be back,!

We ate three breakfasts and suppers and enjoyed the bar as well during our three-night stay. I have to say with all honesty everything was always perfect, from the food to the service. The ambience of the manor also creates a positive mood, classic yet relaxed. We also enjoyed seating outdoors with relaxing green views.

Best chips in Romsey, always cooked perfectly!
