We arrived bang on time and went to our table and waited to order..and waited. We ordered shared starters and waited...and waited. They were very poor the toast was cold and soggy and the butter came late. after a very long wait we ordered mains and waited...for ages. Other guests who arrived after us were served and gone before ours even arrived...and only after an enquiry as to what was the problem, The food had obviously been prepared and then forgotten,,the Hunters Chickens were so hard my partner had great difficulty even cutting through it. It was obvious that the meals had been under the heater for ages and were ruined, We waited to order afters but finally decided on just coffees which we ordered...and waited. The hot chocolate came late and separate As we were being treated to birthday meals by relatives it was difficult to complain but a meal which should been served at 12-30 finally finished without any sweets just before 4pm It was very busy and quite obvious that the 2 waiters could not cope and they were serving on the bar as well A shame as we will not visit The Horns again and risk such an embarrassment for our hosts.

A recent lunch was full of kids, but that's not their fault it is a family venue, and it was Easter. Food was good though eel and prawn bouillabaisse, followed by waffles and syrup with New Forest honeycomb and vanilla ice cream. With wine and coffee for four it was £25/head. Certainly worth trying again.

This has to be my favourite pub for food in the world!…read more The pub has a large seating area but can get busy, especially on Sunday lunchtime so would recommend booking if you are taking a group. The menu is varied and there is usually a wide range of specials. The menu favours local produce and the portion sizes are very generous. It's not the cheapest pub meal you will ever have but it's so good quality I guarantee you'll be back for more. For the rare days of sunshine there is a large outside seating area and play area for the smaller visitors to the pub.

The only thing I like about this pub is the garden area. I went here last weekend with a friend. We…read morehadn't booked a table and decided to eat later. It as busy but we had a few drinks outside, which was nice enough, came in doors an ordered at 8.30pm two mains only....by 10pm we were still waiting and baring in mind we were the only ones left sitting waiting for food I'm not sure why there was such a delay. We complained and got no apology only to then get our mains, where the chicken that my friend ordered where the underneath was completely burnt. We ate it. As we were starving but won't be going there again,

A typical chain pub (part of the beefeater) but has a nice rural decor. The food was ok, but eh…read morestaff were brusque, and a bit dippy. The swearing and shouting from the kitchen everytime the door opened certainly made for an amusing evening, even if it did have you cringing for the family with young kids sitting near to us. It was kind of obvious that steak was their forte, and the chicken wasnt brilliant, but the salad did appear to be frehly prepared and had a very nice house dressing on it. Decent enough to stop off at for food when travelling, but wouldnt be a plce you'd go to especially.

A fully equipped bar with plenty of choice, food is good quality and of good size for value. Great place to come for lunch with friends or by yourself. There is a small terrace dining area at the rear. Beef burgers are the real thing here, recommended.

Clean and friendly. Beer was well kept. Choice of real ales. Food was good value for money.read more
