The best restaurants in Compton and Otterbourne Winchester South East

A wonderful lunch, sandwiches- ciabatta and sourdough with sausage, cheese, tune etc and great coffee and tea. The bread was so fresh and warm. We had walked from Eastleigh along the Itchen Way so it was a very welcome refreshment stop.

Food wasn't as good as I had hoped

Love this pub. Food good staff so friendly

A issue in the kitchen so not able to serve us food sadly as we’d gone for a special occasion

We were part of a Christmas reunion meeting of 10 friends for lunch. We were looked after so well. Numerous different (pre-booked) starters, mains and sweets were served and most received very positive mentions. Just the fish (with fish & chips) was thought to have been over-fried. My duck starter (perhaps better served warm rather than cold?) and venison main were delicious. Service, for such a large party, was quick and well co-ordinated. Staff were friendly and welcoming. The ambience, of course, is great. Only the "card only payment" policy caused some annoyance. It seemed to take over-long to get through 5 separate payments. But, overall, 4.9 out of 5! Thank you, Plough.

Brilliant quiche and the freshest salad I’ve had for ages! Pauline, the waitress was lovely and very helpful.

Great food and service. Special pie nights. Easy to get to. Plenty of parking but can get busy.

Went to the old forge with family for Sunday lunch. The food did not disappoint and was well presented and taste lovely. The Amelia was attentive to our table and we're well looked after by her during our lunch.

We had visited The White Horse in the past and enjoyed a more than acceptable meal. This time, I'm afraid to say that it was anything but . We booked the latest time which was 6pm (anything earlier and it would have been high tea. My parents and partner opted for the cod and chips, I had half a cauliflower, breadcrumbs in a leek, spinach, mustard sauce with caper and raisin purée. My parents enjoyed their fish and chips. My partner said the fish was just about cooked, but the batter was swimming in oil and not palatable at all. My cauliflower dish promised much, but delivered a dish that was predominantly mustard and cream. It was poorly balanced in my opinion. Regretfully, we shall not be returning.
