Truly my dream pub/restaurant; open, bright dining room, large outdoor patio area and traditional…read morepub garden. Bar room at the front has been tastefully restored and updated, local brews on tap, decent wine, fantastic food and prompt, efficient and really pleasant serving and front of house team. Garden with fresh veg and some fruit, with a couple of outdoor games and covered outdoor pub tables and benches, all sit on the raised 150 yard garden platform above the haha. An infinity garden concept that rises just above the Hampshire countryside with fresh water stream and farm fields. Just excellent and what any city dweller that grew up in the country needs to reset their soul.

This a very cute thatched pub. There has been a pub on this site for over 400 years and although…read morethe last one burnt down this one has been around for a good while too It is full of character and charm. And is the centre of the village life. They have various dart events usually in memory of a villager who has since passed away and funds are then raised for a charity close to that persons heart. ie. Recently they had a darts match in memory of my cousin who died some years ago at an early age. There is usually a good turn out for such events. The locals love it and the walkers and beaters are always welcome when they pass by. The food is expensive though that is it's only downfall.

Quick glance: + large portion, no-frill pub food…read more+ local ales and ciders + no-mobile policy + dog-friendly + beer garden I came here for lunch based on the recommendation from a pub guide. It's tucked away, seemingly in the middle of nowhere, but it's worth the drive especially on a hot, sunny summer day to take advantage of the large garden in the back. The pub stocks a large selection of local ales and ciders, which is a definite bonus. When we were there, a few dogs from other patrons wandered freely around the premise, nuzzling against our elbow for scraps of food, which I thought was unusual (for a city dweller like me!) but cute. The pub has a no-mobile policy such that if you take a call in the pub, you're charged a pound, kind of like the swear jar. I love the idea - more pubs should do this! The food itself is honest, no-frill pub grub made with high-quality and fresh ingredients. The huge portion and decent price made a good value lunch.

This pub is about as off the beaten track as it gets. Follow the little narrow road until you feel…read morelike you've hit the heart of Hampshire countryside and you'll find the Bowman. In my five years of coming to South Hants I have not known a finer pub. With a gorgeous sprawling beer garden and a nice homely feel the Hampshire Bowman is, at least in my opinion, an epitome of a good English pub. They serve local ales brewed by the Bowman Brewery supplemented by a rotating guest ales and ciders. Their food is considered "typical pub fare" but they often have a twist. I've had hoisin duck sausages over a bed of chinese vegetables that was absolutely amazing. If you don't feel like exploring with your food then their burger is always a good choice. The barmen are always friendly, the food is consistently good, and the pints are always perfect (I've yet to have a bad pint here). The atmosphere, despite the sprawling space is intimate due to the landlord's strict "No Mobile Phone" policy, which he and his regulars actually enforce. If your phone goes off you pay a quid that ultimately goes to charity and to be honest, I've not heard of anyone having a problem with the pub rule. I can't really put my finger on what makes the Bowman such a good pub... it just is and I'm not the only one who thinks so as it is a local favorite. Perhaps it's the fact that the landlord is dog-friendly and provides water bowls and dog treats for walkers and hikers. Maybe it's because of the reasonable price for a good local ale and a plate of fine pub fare. Maybe it's the no-mobile policy which makes the pub and ideal place to have a pint and a good chat with friends or family. Or it's possible it's the combination of all of these that account for the inexplicable reason that at the Hampshire Bowman the pints just taste sweeter.

Terrible place don't come if you're a tourist. You'll hate the lovingly prepared local beers with…read moreguest beers on tap. It's a brewery too and doesn't make wine so have to bring good wine in. You'll hate to sit in the picturesque and quiet beer garden because the sun will hurt you. In late summer the trees surrounding the beer garden will be full of ripe apples that might fall on you! Oh and the service is just boring - they're kind and helpful and just serve what you need without overcharging or giving the attitude you're likely to used to in the city. Stay at home. Let this pub survive for the locals and those visiting home. Definitely don't visit the brewery and buy t-shirts, beer in bottles to take home and share with friends.

The Flower Pots Inn in the village of Cheriton, near Alresford, is one of the best-preserved…read morecountry pubs I've seen. Forget fruit machines, it's just a couple of rooms of raw wood and - in winter - a large open fireplace that fills the place with the sweet smell of real logs burning (so much better than a pub full of cigarette smoke!). Cheriton brewery is right on the premises so you can try several of their own beers right from the cask. I had a delicious stout when I was there and the missus had the Cheriton Pots Ale (I managed to get a sip of this too, very tasty). Lunch was simple but delicious - a lamb and apricot hotpot for me, with the biggest chunk of homemade bread I'd ever seen. The pub soon filled with walkers on the Saturday we were there, so it's obviously a local favourite. They've got rooms if you fancy staying. They have outdoor tables and even a large tented outdoor area if you really need to smoke. There's plenty of parking, as most country pubs do. The Flower Pots has been in Camra's Good Beer Guide since 2005.

Five colleagues and I, at the end of an amazing week at a work conference, we're in desperate need…read moreof some food. Getting in a little late to go to London, we turned our attention to something close to the Gatwick airport. After finally sorting our Uber rides, we were off to The Farmhouse. First impressions were of a traditional British pub experience, which was a good start. Our clumsiness of grabbing a table and figuring out whether we needed to go to the bar to order or wait to be served, surely gave us away as "not locals." Our server was friendly and provided us with our menus and took our drinks order. The one shortfall was that the menu had a number of items not available and with an assist from a customer, two of us needed a rethink on their meal. In all, it was 4 Fish & Chips, One Farmhouse Burger, and a Battered Halloumi burger, plus an order of calamari, and 4 tomato and garlic soups. There were zero plates taken off the table that were not empty! I had the Halloumi burger, which had a great, crispy batter topped with some guacamole mayo with a red sauce on the side. Really good. Then we doubled down and hit the dessert menu! Two warm chocolate brownies with salted caramel ice cream and four plum tarts. We asked for some custard on the side because who doesn't like custard?! Save for the debate about whether it was more a pie than a tart, another set of empty plates were the only evidence left. Would definitely recommend The Farmhouse!

We also go the Camembert, olives, and some ciders. This was definitely worth the effort to leave the airport, get an Uber, and then return to the airport. Cute place with good food.
