The best restaurants serving British food in Compton and Otterbourne Winchester South East

We stopped here for Sunday lunch on our way home from the New Forest. We chose a roast which was a generous size with fresh veg, a Hugh Yorkshire and the meat just melted in the mouth. The staff were friendly and service was prompt. Isaac was very friendly and helped choose a great red wine to compliment our dinner. Would definitely recommend a visit to this cosy pub… 🤩

The staff were really friendly and helpful and the decor was lovely. Unfortunately the lunch menu was uninspiring and all a bit on the posh side, but didn't deliver. Ordered only item that vaguely appealed to me, which was avocado with poached eggs. When it arrived it was pureed avocado piped onto thin slice of sourdough bread, with two poached eggs on top, which were cold by the time they got to me. The whole combination didn't work, sourdough was soggy, pureed avocado was like baby food and obviously refrigerated, which made the eggs cold. I should mention that the waitress took my meal off the bill, so thank you for that. Bring back club sandwiches and homemade soup, simple things that satisfy hungry lunch clientele!
