The best restaurants serving British food in Cheriton and Bishops Sutton Winchester South East

On arrival we were welcomed by a very enthusiastic member of staff who took our drink( 2soft drinks and a beer) and food order. I chose the fish of the day, skate wing with brown butter and capers and new potatoes, (£26) and my family chose the double beef patty burgers. After a reasonable time, the food was served, and we were asked if we wanted any sauces. I replied that I was waiting for the vegetables. I was told that the skate came with potatoes, and if I wanted vegetables I could order seasonal vegetables from the menu, which I was given. Vegetables cost an extra £6, So I decided to decline, as when I have eaten a fish dish before in other places, vegetables have been included for a similar priced meal. The skate wing was the smallest I have ever been served(? Maybe half a skate wing), and the edges well cooked, thus leaving very little edible fish. My family were disappointed with their average burgers, and felt they would have been better value if they had been served with some salad leaves or coleslaw. We were all very disappointed with what we felt was a below average meal. I did not complain at the time as I was treating my family and did not wish to cause a scene. A service charge of £9 was added to the bill which I did not realise until after I had paid. I’m sure there are better value food options on the menu, but alas, we did not choose them. Unfortunately we will not be returning.

We have just returned from our first trip to The Bush Inn at Ovington, and we’re very happy, thank you. The food was delicious, the service (Leo and the two female staff) was excellent and the atmosphere was welcoming too. Pick of the main courses were Steak and Ale pie, Haddock and chips, and the children’s Burger. Prices were reasonable and the selection of food was excellent. We will definitely be back, probably in the warmer weather, when we can use the large beer garden. Keep up the good work and thanks again.

We lunched here after a walk. Friendly welcome on arrival. We were a large party so we had pre ordered. Food came out promptly, portions were generous and food was tasty. I enjoyed my sausage baguette with chips and salad and everyone else seemed to enjoy their choices. I didn't hear any complaints. Would be happy to return.
