The best restaurants serving British food in Hart South East

thank you Debbie for your beautiful homemade cakes and scones and a great selection of teas! We were a party of 20 and the service was excellent too - everyone loved the afternoon and we’ll definitely come back

Having already attended events at the venue before we booked Bistro 19 for a celebration of life with afternoon tea for 50 guests. The whole thing was perfect, lovely setting, helpful and attentive staff, delicious food, everything we could have wanted. Everyone who attended commented on how special the day was, we couldn’t have asked for anything more, even the sun stayed for the day!!

Freshly made food quiet and a very nice atmosphire. Lots of gifts and trinkets and the staff were very interesting to talk to. Apparently there are tables and chairs outside and you can watch the lambs.

We had a lovely lunch here. Food was delicious and service was 10/10. The staff are absolutely brilliant and really go out of their way to provide a great experience. My daughter who is usually quite fussy got through all of her lunch, they had some great kids food options! Would highly recommend

A first visit to the Hogget meeting a friend for lunch. It was a good decision as there was plenty of parking, a warm greeting when we arrived and good service throughout. There was a very good lunch menu and the Black and Bleu burger was very enjoyable.

Went into pow today to have a small lunch was served by Karina the assistant manager who was so helpful and catered to my every need, my food was delivered by the lovely Olivia who is in the Halloween spirit with her spider headband, food was made by the lovely James and was amazing as per usual

Lovely atmospheric and charming establishment in a great location. The staff were super friendly and efficient - Amanda was excellent and could not have done more to tend to us. Food was good and service prompt and efficient. Great value for money too. A really good lunch with friends - thank you.

Unfortunately Daisy’s Tea Room is closing for good on 25th May 2022 although Serendipity will continue to trade. Make the most of this quaint tea room while you can.

This is what a pub should be like. Great atmosphere, full of village locals and a proper landlord who knows what he is doing. 10/10.

Great service and quality produce. Generous portions too. Brilliant cafe and always consistent with the quality and service.

Absolutely stunning food! We were 7 and everything that everyone ordered was a hit! And all really unusual and imaginative twists on dishes that you would consider to be classics. You definitely won’t be eating anything that you’ll think you could have knocked up at home. A bit more money than you might expect to pay for a meal in a pub but, honestly, worth every penny. Stonkingly good!

Simply put, the best fish and chips in fleet! Staff have always been friendly and over the years things haven’t changed. Still polite, still friendly and still keeping very busy! I’m not surprised to see the queue going out the door upon arrival. Very popular and well worth the wait and £££. Happily recommend to anyone!

Fairly average fish and chip shop - I’ve had worse but I’ve definitely had better. The chips weren’t very well cooked quite long enough being a bit soggy with no crispness, and the cod had quite a thick batter that was a bit stodgy on the inside; both were quite greasy. The fish itself tasted ok, but completely disintegrated as soon as a knife and fork touched it. The fish was already cooked when I came into the shop but I was assured it was recently cooked (they would say that wouldn’t they?) Cod, small chips and mushy peas cost £10.50. The portion sizes were generous. The food was placed in a plastic bag rather than a paper one which is never a good sign, and would have made it go even soggier if I didn’t remove it as soon as I got to the car. Ok if you’re local and don’t want too drive far but I certainly wouldn’t go out of my way to get food from here when there are several better options such as Skippers not far away.

I was travelling early during the week and decided to stop off at Fleet services on the M3 at around 7am. Not many places were open at that time. However, Harry Ramsden were offering cooked breakfasts. It was served very quickly and the items were served hot. Great to also see black pudding on the menu.

I’ve been coming to Tylney since 2010 for special occasions such as birthdays, Christmas, anniversaries etc. sadly it’s gradually gone down hill and this will possibly be my last visit. I dined at the oak room this week and when the menu was put in front of me i had no idea what to order. The menu was outdated, stuffy and very overpriced. Long gone are the days where you sat in the library, had your amuse-bouch and marvelled at what to order. Your order was taken prior to your arrival at the oak room and your wine was waiting at your table for your arrival. I ended up ordering by eliminating either incredibly boring options like soup and ludicrously expensive ones like £47 Dover sole. I had the whipped goats cheese starter and the pork main. The food tasted nice but it really was nothing special. The menu was just lacking in creativity and provenance. Back in the day you’d walk in the oak room and there was live piano, candles on the table and the silver cloche covered your food and was beautifully removed when the dish was in front of you. All these details made the extra cost worth it. When you pair it all back sadly it’s just not worth it anymore. I know places like Tylney are incredibly expensive to run so some adjustments have to be made but these are the things that made it special and kept us coming back over the years. Places like The Pig have left Tylney behind. Perhaps it’s time to rethink the French menu for something with provenance, after all Hampshire is a rich county. Back in the heyday of Tylney Hall 20-30 years ago, I appreciate that English food and wine wasn’t as well known or at the level it is at today but it would perhaps be more imaginative, creative and attract more guests if the menu was adapted to be the ‘best of British’ - including all of the wonderful food that Hampshire and neighbouring counties can offer (including the wine!). Back in the 1990s this sort of traditional French menu felt exciting but by today’s culinary standards it is bland and mediocre. On this visit we also found out that the old snooker table is gone. It broke and it was taken away, never fixed. This is incredibly sad as it was a family tradition to have a game of snooker after dinner in a room which was full of history.
