The best restaurants serving British food in Test Valley South East

This has been a favourite lunch spot for myself and my family for a few years now. They've recently had a change of management, and on our resent visit we could see they've been busy decorating and the main room was looking very nice, I much preferred the new decor to the old grey theme. I visited with my son and daughter, and we enjoyed a ploughman's lunch and two jacket potatoes, all beautifully cooked and delicious, and some amazing milkshakes to wash it all down. We were pleased to see the menu still had our favourites on and the service was great as usual. Highly recommended ❤️

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

Homemade Food / chicken bacon & mushroom pie very good prices reasonable service excellent Highly recommended Lovely village pub

We stopped here for lunch en route to Somerset The service was excellent and the food very good. My salmon fish cake with hollandaise sauce definitely tasted homemade, my husband said his steak and ale pie was excellent.

We booked this pub based on reviews for a family get together before a brass band concert in Tidworth. It was a revelation. Fantastic menu - plenty of good choices and a specials board. I love places where you keep changing your mind about what to have even when the order taker is hovering. When our food arrived we were very pleased about the presentation on the plate. Really well done. Everyone really enjoyed their meal and found room for desserts - also very good. Well done Lindsay - and thank you.

We're at the point where Christmas and New Year are a distant memory (it's the 2nd of January!) - fancied a proper "old school" breakfast and that's exactly what we got. Generous portions and value for money - I even got to swap my beans for fried tomatoes (not tinned - tho' tinned are available). BTW beans are the vegetable of the Devil! 😀 Independent business (with an automotive theme) with loads of parking in a quiet industrial area, thoroughly recommended and we will be back. Thank you.

Excellent breakfast! The best in andover in my opinion, really friendly helpful staff and a really nice atmosphere, will be visiting again soon 🙂🙂😋😋

We returned to this traditional English pub for our anniversary, having met there 8 years prior. Great food and plenty of customers for a mid-week lunch is a nod to the landlord, who was super friendly and welcoming. Will definitely be back for our next anniversary, if not before!

First time visiting today after walking past many times and seeing it busy. Very glad we did. The food was amazing, and the service was second to none. If you walk past and notice that it’s very busy from the outside, then it’s always worth popping inside to see if there are any tables available. Great brunch spot, and great vibes

We ate three breakfasts and suppers and enjoyed the bar as well during our three-night stay. I have to say with all honesty everything was always perfect, from the food to the service. The ambience of the manor also creates a positive mood, classic yet relaxed. We also enjoyed seating outdoors with relaxing green views.

Truly a fantastic and wonderful experience. Bright lovely and an atmosphere that makes you feel like family.

I booked a table for two just the day before and had the most delicious lunch. The Manager was very welcoming and attentive when necessary (which it wasn't!). The waiting staff were delightful, polite, discreet and at no time were we rushed. Our lunch was mouth waveringly good, a real treat, perfect proportions and it was lovely to have a brief chat with the chef on our way out. Thank you very much.

I recently attended a wake at the Hare and Hounds in Charlton Down, and I couldn't speak more highly of the experience. The staff were incredibly kind, respectful, and attentive throughout, making sure everything ran smoothly during what was an emotional time. The food was lovely—fresh, well-presented, and plentiful—and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming, offering the perfect space for friends and family to come together and remember a loved one. A heartfelt thank you to everyone at the Hare and Hounds for your care and professionalism.

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.
