There is a hard core group of drinkers and "local personalities" that can be overwhelming for the uninitiated, this however if your on you own or in a boring marriage / relationship can make for amusing viewing. This aside, the relatively new management team have really turned this pub around from what was a bear pit to a well organised and comfortable pub with the best locally priced food and beer. Fosters for instance is 70p cheaper a pint than the relatively nearby Badgers Wood. It also sells a very reasonable choice of wine at very competitive prices. There are even guest Real Ales to keep almost every happy apart from me, come on people lets have a quality Cider on tap, not that rubbish Strong**w. Recently benefiting a big refit this pub has comfortably retaken its no.1 spot in Tadley. With great value food, comparatively cheap beer, several new tellies with Sky and ESPN sports makes it a sensible choice for watching the big match or having bit of a sesh with mates.

The charming staff at the desk and behind the bar soon know your name and preferences, you are not at a soul-less chain. Dinning is spectacular, the Salmon Benedict is perfection, do look for teh specails the chef is quite good, and the obligatory Sunday roast us among the best. Concerns in earlier reviews have been fully addressed, I stayed in most rooms over a 7 week stay, all windows opened, all rooms had quiet fans, and plentiful water pressure, traffic is virtually non-existant at night and owing to new speed cameras slows to a quiet pace.

Just finished a 3 night stay at The Wellington Arms over Easter. We absolutely loved it - enough to…read moreextend our visit an extra night. We stayed in the Hayloft which was immaculately clean and perfectly serene. The minibar was perfectly thought out, the bathroom was gorgeous, the loft was a super fun little nook to sit and peruse the countless cookbooks filling the library, the interior was simple yet warm. It really felt like staying in your super stylish friend's guest house. The pup was welcomed with all sorts of treats (bones, chew sticks and a big bowl of water). The restaurant was perfect. After 3 breakfasts, 3 dinner and 2 lunches, we pretty much tried everything on the menu and couldn't criticize a thing. We pretty much spent the weekend eating wonderful food, exploring beautiful local villages and strolling the local Hampshire countryside. Simon was very welcoming and offered lovely suggestions for walks and sight seeing. The rest of the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. I honestly can't think of anything that could have made our stay at The Wellington Arms any better. We will be back again very soon.

This is possibly the best pub in the world, a traditional old fashioned contry pub that sells the…read moremost amazing Sunday lunch you will ever taste. The White Hart serves a selection of real ales including the magnificent Alton pride, they also sell English contry wines and decent cider too. This pub has won camra awards for pub of the year and once you go you'll know why. If it's loud music, gassy lager and fruit machines you want then look elsewhere but if you want real food real beer and real log fires in a proper countryside location then seek it out and enjoy.

Obviously due to its…read morelocation, you would only likely stop here if you are visiting nearby Highclere Castle (assuming you are an international visitor). There are several dining rooms, with a larger one in what appears to be an annex. They must have tour groups that come through as they were clear about out needing to finish before a certain hour (that was fine with us as our tickets to Highclere Castle were for entry within the hour). There were a number of items on the menu that looked good. It's basically all traditional British pub fare. Since it was Sunday, I think there was a special roast menu. I opted for the daily pie (chicken and ham) and my partner got the trio of roasted meats. Both came with vegetables and huge roasted potatoes. He also got what looked like a popover, which I later found out was Yorkshire pudding. Service was good! The place has a very friendly atmosphere. Looks like it is a place the locals come for a pint or for a bite to eat.

There was no festive atmosphere in the bar or the restaurant.... lunch was ok but not the best is the truth...there was plenty of it and the Turkey was beautiful to be fair. Two of us left a lot of uneaten food on our plates. ( nobody asked why?) My husband went from our table to the bar to order a coffee and a vodka and a bottle of tonic ....the guy in the shorts brought them over and just put them each in front of the wrong person and with ALL of the tonic poured into the glass with the vodka. I advised him very nicely that I didn't want all of the tonic poured into the glass ( that's not how I drink it ) ...he picked it up, walking away with it, shaking his head!! A proper Barman would never pour all the tonic into the glass .... one of the lovely young ladies brought another vodka and a bottle of unpoured tonic over to us. The worst thing is , we were charged for the vodka that he took away! So feeling very deflated after that Christmas Day Lunch. Would we go back there again? No. Would we recommend ...No.
