Reviews in Hampshire

Really disappointed which is a shame as brought a few friends this time. After I told them my visit earlier in the year was great. The first 45 minutes of service wasn't too bad but the food options were duplicated several times or unavailable and not labelled, the food we did have was barely warm! We were told we had 90 minutes at our table but just before 60 minutes were up we were ushered to go and get dessert..what dessert? Barely any left..nothing labelled and with 1 vegetarian and another person with a nut allergy in our group this wasn't OK! Staff were barely to be seen, apart from when we went to get a crepe to be told sorry! The price we paid for the food and service we received was not acceptable and we all left feeling disappointed after an end to a great day! We couldn't speak to anyone on the way out about our visit because they were all at the back of the room eating!! Quite ironic really. Really dislike to write a bad review, but unfortunately this time it is definitely needed.

Great food, a great venue, a great band and friendly and welcoming staff and customers. What more could you ask for?

A Sunday lunchtime Birthday meal that was everything we could have hoped for. Great beers, nice food, superb service so what more could you ask for. The smallest of negativity was that the plates were cold so the food cooled down quickly but thats a minor and easy thing to sort. We will return for a Roast again.

Absolutely first class meal! Top quality produce. Staff very friendly and helpful!

Lovely attentive staff . Lovely atmosphere. Starter lovely and ample for 4 mains were was a different matter. Hard fish, soggy chips peas that had dried up on the heater. And the pie was not nice. And it’s on the expensive side . Sorry but we won’t be returning.

Fan Dabi Dozi, Great vibes at this English Tavern! Nostalgia all around, just before the start of the Christmas season, Very considerate staff towards my son who has allergies, They gave us great seats too, Our pup Brutus was super impressed as well. Super starters! Salt and pepper squid Grilled artichokes Nachos with Chilli, jalapenos and Cheese. Massive Mains! Steaks, Fish and Chips, Burgers, Pizzas All so delectable. Super value for money when going out!

Food was delicious and great price .

The vegan roast was one of the best I've ever had. Friendly staff and a great place all round.

It was, as always a great lunch and staff. However, our waitress did not know what a sherry was or that a ginger beer did not come as a half pint or a pint. She was absolutely charming, but needed to seek help. Also when I got my sherry it was served in a tumbler! I politely asked her to transfer it to a sherry glass which she did.

A great evening on 22nd Nov with a group of 4. The friendliness and help from staff was outstanding! Lovely, caring people. Even the punters were friendly, making a great atmosphere. The Devil's Damned String Band played excellent Bluegrass - brilliant musicians. As a real ale fan I found the beer choice very good. The food was good value pub grub.

We went for a Sunday carvery. As usual 4 meats to choose from and a good choice of vegetables. All lovely and hot. Very friendly staff who are always on the go. A lovely pub to visit, would definitely recommend.

We went for Sunday lunch and had booked a table. The pub was extremely busy but served quickly at the bar. The carvery was excellent, 4 meats to choose from and a good selection of vegetables, Yorkshire pudding, stuffing and roast potatoes. Food was hot and fresh, we are going to try a wseekday lunch next.

We had a fabulous time at the Master Builder on 15/11. Food was lovely & good portions. We had the Christmas Party menu for 6 of us. It was all easy to book online & the staff were very helpful. When we arrived the table was decorated very festive & we had everything we needed. Prawn cocktail was delicious. Turkey Dinner & mushroom Wellington were lovely. The vegetables were cooked soft & not hard, the roast potatoes were crispy but fluffy on inside. We couldn’t fault it, everything was perfect with a Christmas party atmosphere. We felt very well looked after. Can’t fault it.

We had an amazing Sunday lunch yesterday at the Platform Tavern . Food was delicious ,best roast dinner and lovely roast dinner pie . The staff were lovely very attentive without being over bearing .We had a lovely time we didn’t feel rushed in any way . We will definitely be back and very happy to recommend

The Chequers is one of our favourite places to go for Sunday lunch in the area we went on Sunday 17th of November. I had beef and pork and my partner had chicken. The quality of the meat and vegetables were excellent as usual but I did notice that the gravy maybe had some wine flavouring in it which meant that the taste overpowered the food for myself. Red cabbage was one of the vegetables and it would be nice to be offered an alternative vegetable

Love this place. Lived here for 6 years and only discovered it last month. Been there twice now. So much choice and really tasty. High turnover so food always fresh.

Went out for a meal as four, booked it for 7:30pm arrived about 15 minutes early which we would have happily waited till 7:30. The man asked us what time we were booked in for and scoffed as we were slightly early and I mentioned we were happy to wait. He then signalled us to move across to pay. Confused as to what the price was as they have no pricing, and students apparently also don’t get it cheaper on saturdays she rudely pushed the card reader onto my phone. I was very confused and mentioned how it was abrupt and very rude to just tap it on my phone without me checking first. Food was ok, lots of it! Service as we walked up was quick and straightforward which was fine we got told the drinks are 1.50 for refillables which we later found out was 3.50. £21.99 for food and then an extra £3.50 for drinks? surely not. Staff were not very friendly, rudely collecting plates which we hadn’t even finished when told we were still eating they said sorry there is more up there ? the italian section was completely empty and the chocolate fountain was broken apparently when we asked and the lady doing our pancake looked like she’d seen a ghost when we asked if we could have more than one topping? probably won’t be coming back here for a while

Our second visit and once again we found attentive staff, great food, good portions, clean facilities, lovely pub all round. What more could you ask for?
