The best restaurants in Upper Meon Valley Winchester South East

We often call in here on our cycle rides for a cuppa and bacon sandwich or full English - The food is always really good and well-cooked, and the welcome warm and friendly. A superb cafe!

Our favourite local pub, great pizza, good backup mains, roast on a Sunday is fantastic ( I want the gravy recipe) recommended

Was working in area . Popped into for sausage sandwich The young lady in charge was delightful . So friendly and bubbly a real little gem

Wevdropped into the WestvMeon for lunch and were not disappointed. Plenty of food served quickly and very enjoyable.

Superkleine porties, hoofdmenu kleiner dan een normaal voorgerecht. Voor een stukje brood bij de mosselen ook nog bijna 3 pond bijbetalen…. Belachelijk

I can't believe I haven't left a review already! Been going to The Shoe for the last 14 years and continue to do so at least once a month. Never had a bad meal or experience ever. Great friendly staff, food and atmosphere. Would highly recommend.

This comment is from ‘the poor wife’ you patronisingly refer to in your response to our previous feedback. Our ‘FairObservaions’ are joint opinions as I don’t normally feel the need for a separate platform. Let me clarify some of the inaccurate statements in your response to our feedback: At no time did my husband ignore me, on entering the premises, he did ‘wander round the bars’, mainly to see if there was another soul in the eerily empty building. At no time was I ‘in tear’ [sic] as you put it. I was however, extremely annoyed that despite advising us to leave, you would not refund me the cost of my meal or our drinks which were impossible to consume in the hostile atmosphere. I might however have shown signs of ‘in fear’, having just escaped the wrath of ‘Loony’ as my husband rightly calls him (I don’t know which one of you is Yates, maybe that’s you). As for your comment that we left the car park, nearly hitting a white car, I don’t understand, as we arrived and left on foot, our car being at Exton some three miles away. I think it’s probably that you’re confusing us with another disgruntled couple. I now await your characteristic badly written, rude response to this missive about our worse ever dining (or none dining) experience.

I booked a room at this hotel through Agoda. Big, big mistake. Avoid that site like the plague. They have all the tricks in the trade to avoid you communicating with them. I needed to cancel the booking because I found that the hotel was much further from my destination than I had realised. Tried through Agoda. no chance. So tried to phone hotel. First time after three long attempts a waitress answered and said she couldn't cancel a booking but the owner will be back in 2 hours, She will give him a message. He didn't phone back. Next day, I tried to phone them three times. Each call timed out. I am 84 and use hotels frequently, usually 3 star or above at least 10 - 15 times each and every year since I was 20. The place is clearly a pub / restaurant which runs a few rooms B&B on the side - very unprofessionally have never experienced this degree of non-contact ability.

We regularly visit here and always like to stop for food but came today and how disappointing, the menu had been changed and is VERY limited now and they no longer offer any form of dessert and have taken away all milkshakes… if you would like a burger or pizza then your fine but that’s about as far as menu stretches… I may add staff are very helpful and are working very hard… but it’s not worth the money to enter anymore as was charged £5 for entering the car park.
