They were surprised at how busy it was for that time of the week; but this must show how good the Hurdles is.

But, if you are lucky enough to find this charming country pub, you are in store for the perfect English pub experience. This centuries old homestead still oozes that ancient feel. The dishes are not only classic English but also have exciting takes on Korean and Indian fare. I say stick with the local drafts on tap and the classic English dishes. My favorites were the pea and ham soup (If you add a dash of Worcestershire sauce to put it over the top) and the local sausage and mash is on another level. The gravy is to die for!

With friends and family, it offers the that lovely warm, cosy feeling on Winter days/nights. The Christmas Day menu/price works out at £60.00, could be seen as pricey but I've seen some at £85.00. Lunch and Dinner prices are around £11 £16 for Mains. Plenty of parking.

Although we were staying in another pub in the adjacent village of Meonstoke, we had heard so many good things about the Shoe Inn, we couldn't resist pulling back on our boots and walking through the rain for dinner. After the obligatory pint of real ale to celebrate the end of our walk, we perused the menu on the blackboard. There was almost too much to chose from as I was ravenous and everything took my fancy. We were brought warm homemade bread to start, then I went for the goats cheese en croute served with beetroot, red onion and avocado. Next came pork belly with the most divine cracking (I know, but I earned it!!), rich dauphiniose potatoes, cabbage and a cider jus - delish. After a 30 minute respite, I decided I could fit in a portion of homemade treacle tart with ice cream - probably a mistake in hindsight as I could hardly move afterwards, but it was tasty!! A cheeky bottle of red helped wash all this down. The pub itself was really busy for a rainy Thursday night - it obviously has a lot of loyal customers. The staff were all really young but provided a high level of service. In the summer, the garden that backs on to a babbling brook would be the perfect place to enjoy a drink as the sun goes down. We even got to play a couple of games of dominoes while we waited for our meals. It doesn't get much better than this!

What a find! After considerable thought was given for a lunchtime pub by our cousins who live in…read morethe area, we made a short trip to The Shoe, and it proved to be a great destination in this beautiful Hampshire village! After placing our food orders, we walked across the road to their riverside beer garden. It provided an idyllic setting with ample room between the garden tables. A couple of decent-sized bowls of peanuts and a small bowl of olives provided munchies with our beverages while we chatted and waited for our lunches to arrive. A Wadworth pub, there are six of their beers on hand pump, plus a guest tap. Obviously, the pub's focus is their food. Freshly baked breads and house-made pickles are two of items that complement the great food here. Local products are sourced as much as possible, a nice touch. The small beer battered haddock (£8.95) was beautifully cooked with a crispy shell, and its mushy peas were delicious. The fresh crab and avocado starters (£7.95) were thoroughly enjoyed by three in our party, and the pub's careful attention to detail was obvious in the presentation of this dish. My own ploughman's platter (£7.50) was excellent, the generous slice of ham and aged cheddar accompanied by a fresh piece of baguette with veggies and grapes, house pickles and a red tomato chutney, and crisps - no issues with any of this plate's offerings. And yes, the house sticky toffee ice cream and brownie we all shared for dessert with beautifully brewed Americano coffees were stellar! Attentive and timely service, a beautiful setting, and decent prices (about £80 for drinks and lunch for six) make The Shoe a spot I'd return to, either for another great lunch or to explore their menu further at dinner. Highly recommended.
