Amazing menu - if I could write a menu packed just with the top pub food I love, this would be it. We only just managed to choose before we were planning a return visit. We both ordered the pie of the day (chicken & bacon) having checked it had a crust base not just a measly topping on a casserole. Staff are friendly and know the dishes. It's a 'slow food' place but we didn't have a long wait for food. PIETASTIC! and excellent value at £12.50 each. If you enjoy good food - do not drive past!!!

The menu is excellent and packed with mouthwatering dishes (as well as 3 or 4 daily specials) and the surroundings are lovely. There is a daily fixed price lunch menu with 2 courses for £15.95 and 3 courses for £19.95. Despite its pedigree it's not starchy or stuffy. Gull eggs are in season so we had that and an Omelette Arnold Bennett to start and the steak & ale pie and Pierre Koffman venison for mains with a couple of side dishes each. For dessert I had the raspberry souffle which just heaven on a plate - if you go make sure you leave room for this signature dessert!

Having eaten here a couple of years ago and reported on good food but disorganised service, I…read morereturned recently for lunch and had a wonderful meal. The restaurant is in the middle of nowhere and you almost rush past it on a nondescript piece of road just north of Highclere Castle, but turning into its ample parking areas, the smart cars there seem to have simply driven a few miles from the Peat Spade, another great inn. This time it wasn't full and the service was far better, but the food and drink weren't just good but exceptional, and extremely reasonable to boot. We started with a glass of house white a Chilean Sauvignon Blanc which was delicious and some very good bread and unsalted butter. I had the mussels and clams in a white wine broth which come daily up from Cornwall, and I can declare that they were the best I have ever tasted. The mussels were so fat and full that the dish could have made a meal on its own, while the clams, as ever, added a subtly the taste of the sea. The onion-rich broth was perfect and almost got finished! We then had the fish and chips, which came perfectly presented and was exceptionally delicious. One could perhaps quibble that twice or thrice cooked chips would have been even better, but these were crispy outside and fluffy inside, with a small dish of mushy peas to underline the fact that the dish was supposed to be authentic and not ersatz Belgian. Liver and bacon was pink and perfect, and could hardly have been bettered. A lemon posset followed, which was a good way of cleansing the palate after such a fine meal. I can't recommend The Yew Tree highly enough for lunch, especially with a bill (without service) of only £42 for two. There is wi-fi in the bar.

The bar staff are friendly with regulars chatting to the staff. The pub was packed on a Saturday afternoon, but we managed to find a nice spot reading the weekend papers. There is a courtyard here - perfect for the warmer weather and a restaurant towards the back of the pub. This pub has a very relaxed feel about, and as a result is homely. Added bonus is they have a open log fire too - a real winner in my book!

All we had were grouse (from the famous Stockbridge butchers, Robinson's) and a bottle of Gevrey Chambertin, but it was perfect. The wine was decanted at our request and was absolutely delicious; rich and smooth, and was the perfect accompaniment to the grouse. The grouse arrived whole in a glorious rich gravy and dressed with spinach, game chips and bread sauce, and looked as good as it tasted. It was one of the finest meals one could have. The grouse was £21.50 - very reasonable. The wine cost considerably more. The service was perfect and the ambience, surrounded by locals, everything that a good pub should be.

One item I really wanted to try while in England was Yorkshire Pudding. There is something about…read morethe way it looks, that is so attractive to me... Luckily for me, our extended family took us to a spot with a great selection of dishes with Yorkshire Pudding! It is a large building, surrounded by beautiful greenery. It is not only a restaurant, but also an inn as well. You and your dog(s) can stay here, as it is a dog-friendly inn. At the entrance of the restaurant, they had this adorable guestbook for dogs! And they even had some dog treats right there for your (or anyone else's) dog! We ordered a Selection of Home Baked Breads with mixed butter. Fancy, fluffy, and delicious! For appetizer, we got Cajun Whitebait, and I got Faccombe Fried Partridge. Simple, comfy food that is elevated and tasty! Most if the dinner dishes came with loads of sides, and oh yeah, Yorkshire Pudding! We all got something a bit different, and they all looked amazing! We had Roast Hampshire Pork Loin. It a stunning Yorkshire Pudding, like a proud crown! And the plate was huge! Mountain of pork loin, a nice amount of potatoes and veggies, pork crackling...Everything on this plate was amazing! It was a big feast, and I was quite full. But did I stop there? No! We all ordered desserts. We had Saffron & Star Anise Poached Pear, White Chocolate Mousse, Sticky Toffee Pudding, and The Jack Russel Affogato. The poached pear was the prettiest, while affogato was the most fun dessert. All of them were superb! The service was very nice and friendly, we were well taken care of. We had a fun dinner with lovely company. It is always great to have delicious food with friends and family you love!
