Marquees have been set up for an outside bar in the garden. People commute some distance for the quality of the food and one side of the restaurant has countryside views. There is a decent size car park. Occasional live music. Friendly staff. Family friendly atmosphere. The FA Cup spent WW2 here. Drinks slightly above average prices.

I hope they won't be offended if I describe them as a gastro pub as the food is quite different, but a twist on traditional. This pub is famous for being the home of the FA Cup during the World War II years after Pompey won in 1939. You can pop in for a summer evening drink in their extensive garden or eat in the bar or table service restaurant. Ample parking. Well update, gone a bit off lately. Seems poorly managed and now a bit pricey. What's going on?

Pleasant country pub situated on the Main Street for this small village. For somewhere do close to…read morePortsmouth it feel remarkably rural. The pub is around 200 years old and the building is Grade II listed. The village was Eisenhower's headquarters during World War Two and the D-Day landings were planned in nearby Southwick Hall, now occupied by the Defence College of Policing and Guarding. The pub was therefore visited by Eisenhower himself, Winston Churchill and Montgomery. The pub itself is traditional in style, with a small terrace at the front and garden behind. There's a small car park and it has wifi. They have a lunchtime menu when they serve fairly traditional pub food, my companion having a lovely ham, egg and chips and I had a very good omelette. The evening meal is a more adventurous menu featuring locally sourced ingredients, including home-made ice cream. They have a good range of cask real ales as well, alongside the usual food and drink. Worth a stop.

The bar and restaurant area are both light and airy with an oldy worldy kind of charm, high ceilings in the restaurant area make for a nice feel and the decor is cosy and clean, lots of wood and arty things scattered about. We arrived for lunch and were proptly seated at a table by the window, the tables are placed so that you are never sitting on top of another party as seems to be the fashion at the moment, so conversations are easy and you dont have to listen to anyone else! The menu is extensive and the really is something for everyone, as well as the daily specials which often include their rack of ribs which is awsome! both the kids and my dad went for the ribs, which arrived to gasps as always, as they stack two racks on a plate with huge crispy yet soft it the middle chips and proper homemade coleslaw, I went for the Bacon and chicken salad as Im watching what I eat, and it arrived without the dressing as I asked and was loaded with both chicken and bacon, and contained a good selection of salad leaves unlike some places that only seem to deliver iceberg! My daughter couldnt finish her second rack so they kindly wrapped it up for us to take home. The sweet selection is also very good, lots of hot and cold choices along with about 15 different ice creams flavours. With drinks (2 each for the kids) and coffee the bill came to about £20 a head (dad paid!) which I think is very reasonable. UPDATE sadly things have changed a lot here, went in January for dads 75th birthday, we where sat on a large table that was wedged against the wall so we had to move it, once seated everyone had to move down that side of you needed to leave the table, the people on the next table where so close our chairs where touching! And since we where the only two tables this was ridiculous!! Starters where nice but mine was disappointing, prawns and avocado, (not something I often go for as I can have it at home, this was a tiny portion, and not really worth the money. I had fish and chips for main, the batter on the fish was lovely, but quite a few bones in the fish which always puts me off fish, there was no real atmosphere there this time and staff few and far between, sadly jot somewhere we will be going back to in the foreseeable future as it's not what it was.

The place has been much extended over the years, particularly the main dining area at the rear, but it retains much of its old-world charm. When we arrived soon after 12.00 p.m. it was not at all busy but a sight of the menu drew us in. Our mini(ish!) schnauzer was not allowed in the dining area but was welcome in the 'saloon bar' where we could still eat comfortably. To return to the menu - it had an interesting and tempting variety of quite unusual dishes as well as some old favourites and they offered some good Sauvignon to suit Judi's taste and a nice Rioja for me. The food when it arrived after only a short wait was absolutely great so I had to have a pudding as well. About 1.00 p.m. the place got really busy thanks to a large and unbooked party of walkers who seemed to expect instant service and moaned about a 20 minute delay - obviously not food lovers just seekers after fuel! The new management team may have a few tweaks to make before their service can absorb such an influx but they showed great willingness to get it right and I hope all goes well and they continue to serve top quality food!
