The best restaurants serving British food in Romsey Extra Test Valley South East

Walked in and it was so so busy. Bar staff spoke to me. And then completely ignored me and went on to serve the people that come after me. It was so busy because it was their first night? Wasn’t impressed though.

Very good carvery. Good value for money. Very good service. Food was good quality and well cooked & presented. Nice atmosphere. Would highly recommend.

Really lovely Sunday lunch and staff were brilliant and very friendly

Have eaten here regularly for 12 months. Always been satisfied and happy after our visit. Two weeks ago there was definite change in atmosphere, it was almost empty and staff not their usual chatty selves. Different manager. The lasagne always came with chips. That day no chips, despite confirming it did come with chips. It came with some kind of bread - not garlic! A few days ago we dropped by for coffee and cake. Again it was not busy and staff appeared strained and subdued. This new manager was on duty again. I would say he is not a people person - essential in a restaurant. When choosing our cake it was obvious one had sunk in the middle and another had a top layer 3 times the height of the bottom layer. We ordered anyway. My cake was sad, I could tell with first mouthful. Partners cake did not have flavour or decor to match its description and was sunk in the middle. We ate it because it’s always been really good but it wasn’t. When cut we could see it wasn’t up to its previous standard. As well as the previously noted faults, the filling was not spread to the edges and where mine was solid my partners was crumbly. What has happened? Have they changed the supplier and management? SO Disappointing! We looked forward to our visits so much. Please address these issues as soon as possible! It’s so disappointing. We always looked forward to our walk and coffee/cake stop or a lunch treat. Please Garden Restaurant
