Reviews in Hampshire

Delicious food, great atmosphere and a perfect location for a catch up with my girlfriends!

Food was lovely, however as they weren’t busy they didn’t have as much food out, so we had limited options to choose from yet we were still charged full price

Really enjoyed the whole experience staff were helpful and friendly food was amazing good value for money

Great visit, would definitely come again if in the area. Lovely welcome from the staff, no issue with bringing our dogs. Only had non-alcoholic drinks. Meals were all delicious, the portions were probably a bit too large as we didn't have room for dessert! This was a shame as I'm sure they were delicious. Staff attentive and friendly, restaurant super clean. Thanks!

We go every year for my Dad’s birthday. He likes to try abit of everything. Food was fantastic, flavourful, hot and plenty of choices. Would recommend. It gets quite busy weekends as you can imagine but plenty of space to move around tables (I have a crutch). I had no problems and has a lift. Staff were friendly helpful and had food topped up or cooking food to order.

Really lovely roast - one of our party is coeliac and the approach / service of the venue gave us confidence that they know what they're doing. The food was excellent as was the service. We'll definitely go back!

I was pleasantly surprised by our meal at baja. Having looked at the menu online I was a bit sceptical. However, the food options and quality was amazing. A really good mix of meat and vegeterian options. We went for 3 tacos and had one each with a side (not great just potato and cheese.) would really recommend just ordering a few tacos.

Popped in for Sunday Lunch and to watch some Rugby. The Roast Beef main was superb, excellent veggies too. One of our party had the veggie option (Stilton and Mushroom Puff Pastry Wellington with a White Wine and Mushroom Sauce) and it went down well. Always a good buzz at the Chequers and the Sunday lunch added to the treat. Great value for money. Thanks to all the staff. Really prompt service.

Amazing food and excellent service. Will definitely be returning again very soon

Lovely Sunday lunch, thank you

Don’t live local to Spoon but just had to visit again . Great food so much to choose from covers all kinds of diets . Friendly staff . Very comfortable restaurant . Staff are always keeping dishes topped up . Absolute pleasure to dine there . Definitely be back .

My favourite in the area, I am a local in my 30’s and I’ve been to every pub worth going to and there’s no other quite like it. A true classic pub with a friendly local atmosphere. Great food and great drinks. The aesthetic has a lived in charm and a no fuss approach which is truly refreshing in today’s pub culture!

Absolutely delicious Sunday Roast perfectly cooked and very welcome after a long walk.

Excellent throughout, in every respect.

I had a lovely meal at the East End Arms on Thursday 6 November. The food and beer were excellent and the staff were friendly and helpful. They even brought treats for my dog.

We have been here many times Spring Summer Autumn and Winter always a very warm welcome from all the staff. Food equality and quantity and bloody good value for the money

We didn’t feel welcome from the moment we arrived. Our group of four came in at around 7:50 pm on the 4th of November and were rushed to place our order almost immediately. Then, at around 8:40 pm, the staff turned off the music, which instantly changed the atmosphere — it felt more like a canteen than a restaurant. While we were still enjoying our desserts, the waitress came over to ask if she could take the plates away, even though they were clearly still half full. At around 9:15 pm, she brought the bill and told us they would be closing in fifteen minutes. When we mentioned that the website says closing time is 10 pm, she replied that they sometimes close earlier if it’s not busy — apparently 9:30 pm that evening. She also said this information is on the website. We couldn’t find this information anywhere online. It was disappointing, especially as it was my birthday, and we’d hoped for a relaxed evening. The food itself was very good, but the service felt rushed and unwelcoming. Such a shame, as the place has potential, but unfortunately it’s not ideal if you’re looking for a calm, late dinner experience.
