The best restaurants serving British food in Hook Hart South East

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.

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.

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!

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 The menu was outdated, stuffy and very overpriced.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.

Perfect full English breakfast or any combination you ask for, friendly staff and good value. Well worth a slight detour to visit as you will not find better.

Have been here a few times and have always enjoyed this but found the last visit quite unpleasant due to the front of house reception, unclear if this was the manager. Great selection of antiques and the cafe is also lovely so would still recommend visiting but this has been greatly let down by this staff member. We were ignored for several minutes with no apology and she gave the impression we weren’t the right cliental to be there. We were informed we had to carry down a heavy item of furniture from the top floor, we reluctantly agreed but I would question the health and safety of this and did not have to do this before.

Today we took our Grandchildren to the Halloween party at the Elvetham Hotel. It was absolutely amazing. On arrival we were welcomed by the lovely friendly staff. The pumpkin game outside was fun. The disco and games inside had all the children ( and parents ) joining in with lots of dancing and singing. Arriving to the Conservatory the tables were set up with every Halloween character possible with live singing . The home made cakes were fantastic and so tasty. BBQ outside was scrumptious. Tea / coffee and even hot chocolate with help yourself sweet table with pouches. Gift bags on arrival and gift bags with colouring books and pencils. Our Grandchildren did not want to go home . Thank you so much , please do it again next year .

After booking 3 rooms for 2 nights and requesting low floor rooms as 2 of us have mobility issues one of us with issues had to climb 4 lots of stairs to get to it as they don't have single rooms on the lower floor. Not recommend for people with mobility issues not at all disabled friendly
