The best restaurants serving British food in Test Valley South East

My husband and I have visited this lovely little place a few times recently and we enjoy it so much. The food is lovely, great value and there are lots of items to choose from. The staff are really friendly and I think that’s one of the main reasons we go back. We always get a friendly welcome and nothing is too much trouble. Thank you That Little Tea Shop :) We will definitely be back soon.

Great pub with lovely log fires and delicious food. We have been several times as it is fortunately quite local to us. The standard is always good, we love it!

This is a friendly spot for golf and a drink afterwards. Rebecca is running the place and she tracked down some clubs for hire so my son and I could play. The course a bit quirky with 10 holes you loop twice from different tees. Shout out to Carol at the bar, Becky’s husband Karl and his friend Simon that rescued us from the keys locked in our car. This is a very friendly spot. Nice people and a fun golf course!

An awesome place to visit, whether with or without tour dog. This is the friendliest coffee shop for dogs ever, there are treated with the utmost respect, a bed a bowl of water and treats before you order for yourself. Open 6 days a week and the Coffee and food is all to die for

Tucked away in the heart of Hampshire, The George Inn is a quintessential English pub that feels like a warm embrace on a chilly evening. As you step inside, you’re greeted by the crackling of open fires, the heart and soul of this charming establishment. The atmosphere is delightfully old-school, with wooden beams and vintage furnishings. The staff here are nothing short of wonderful, striking the perfect balance between friendly and professional, making you feel like a regular even on your first visit. Their attentive service adds to the homely vibe, ensuring that your glass is never empty and your spirits are always high. And the food! All locally sourced meats from local farmers and roasts are 10/10. I recommend the steak sandwich to dip in the gravy. A proper old school freehouse!

Thank you Simon, David and the team. I visited twice over the weekend and everything was superb. I had to rush for a train on the first visit, so was offered the chance to have the remainder of my drink to takeaway. Today my brunch was delicious and the menu was plentiful. It was hard to decide what to have! I’m looking forward to the next monthly Sunday Roast in December!

Lovely evening in the Crook & Shears last night. Great choice of food and well presented. The staff are wonderful and brilliant choice of ales.

Popped in for lunch and chose from the set menu offer. Food was of high quality, and the service was swift. Had pork schnitzel with peppercorn sauce, this came with grenadier potatoes and crisped carrots. Sat well on the stomach Pudding was a lemon tart with blackcurrant sorbet. Slid down well with a good balance of flavours.

A random find but what a fantastic piece of luck. 4 adults and 4 kids enjoyed a brilliant Saturday lunch, great menu choices and the food that arrived was fabulous. Very friendly service and always on hand to answer questions and grab more drinks. 5 stars!

Great for a get together - staff were attentive & looked after us well - all our meals were lovely , compliments to the chef! & all the staff for looking after us on a busy Sunday - would highly recommend recommend and be back x

Absolutely deeelicious, stilton sauce on chicken, broccoli and garlic new pots. Generous portion, succulent and creamy! Friendly country pub.

We looked on Tripadvisor when travelling nearby and did a quick detour for lunch and are so glad we did! We (humans and a dog!) received a very warm welcome. I had the rainbow trout and I can honestly say it was the nicest meal I’ve had in a long time, my husband also very much enjoyed his steak pie. It made his day when he realised the fruit crumble was rhubarb as that’s always been his absolute fave! If in the area again we would definitely return!

This was our annual family Christmas meal. The six of us meet up to enjoy a meal together before places get to busy, but enjoy great food. This was the third time of visiting The Hatchet at Christmas. The food and service was great as always. The only hiccup was using the third party booking system. We had booked and had confirmation email and a follow up email checking we still wanted the booking, but on arrival the booking hadn’t been forwarded to the pub. The staff were friendly and helpful to make up an emergency table for us. So I would recommend calling the pub to make your booking.

We came here for lunch after going to a recommended pub that was closed. A very good find. Courteous welcome and good menu. I chose lasagne. There was plenty of food, all very hot, and well garnished with salads. Good value for money at today's prices. A good find.

Great pub now that Flapper & Jean are running it ! Good atmosphere.I’m from the village but have been in Dubai for last 10 years and it’s nice to come back to some friendly faces a working mans pub with good atmosphere and nice outdoor area when the sun is shining! And watching the World Cup from here was the perfect spot :)Lots of potential look forward to seeing the progress when back again.
