Reviews in Hampshire

Had a late Sunday lunch and whilst the restaurant was quiet the staff were very friendly and attentive. Food was good but menu a little limited. Given the current hot weather a couple of specials - some interesting salads might have been nice.

Lovely pub, nice friendly staff within walking distance from campsite. Asked to exchange salad for garlic bread and was told they would do what they could depending who the chef was and if they could ask him.....we didnt get told so no garlic bread was served, lasagne wasn't great but roasts were good, although the mains were served before we'd finished our starters.

Our first visit to the Chequers and we were all delighted with the Pub. Service was good, the menu had a very good range of options, all the meals were excellent, we all went away very happy. Would recommend.

We revisited The Chequers having happy memories of previous visits, this time with our young family and what a great Sunday lunch it was. The sun shone as we were guided to the garden and the children were all happy with their choices of a roast dinner. Despite being busy the wait time was acceptable and before we knew it we were tucking into the best Sunday lunch we have had out in ages. The empty plates were a clear sign it was a winner! Staff were very welcoming and pleasant - well trained, organised, even though busy. Drinks choice was okay too. A hidden gem, we will return!

Usual high standard, fish platter excellent my guests loved it. I will be back.

Discovered The Platform in 2021 when we based the yacht in Southampton TQ. Such a well run place, with regular friendly on-he=ball staff, serving a great changing variety of beers, decent wines and the food is above pub average too. But the real plus is the astounding level of live music here - check out their website. Stuart the manager is clearly very well connected and brings in some amazing musicians.

Excellent customer service. Staff very attentive and food and drink. Arrived in good time. Very friendly atmosphere and enjoyed the live music.

We booked lunch (Sunday Roast) for 6 people. TIP Initially shown to the wrong table in the restaurant, asked very nicely to move to another table. For me the only problem was that it was in the bar not restaurant and not so light. Lady manager suggested we should specify where we want to be seated when we book next time The food was blooming delicious, best roast I’ve had in ages! We all enjoyed our meal! Thanks to everyone

My wife and I had whole sea bass which tasted lovely. We had whitebait and mussels for starters which were also fine. The children were also very satisfied with their food. All in all it was superb and we would go again.

What a lovely find in the New Forest, a short drive away from busy Lymington! It felt like we had stumbled upon a beautiful gem of a pub - it has both a courtyard and pretty garden. The bar staff were friendly and welcoming, and the menu had plenty of options to tempt my foodie family. They were also very accommodating about allergies. I would definitely recommend visiting.

Excellent service and food.

Food was very nice but sadly the service was disappointing. We made a booking online but when we turned up they did not have a record of the booking and said they hadn't checked their online system (!). Service was generally slow. A real shame as the food was nice and the staff were friendly.

Decided to try this restaurant for lunch before the theatre on Saturday the 23rd of July. We turned up a little early whilst the lady was still setting up for opening. However rather than turning up the way she offered a seat and to look see the menus in advance, she had a nice chat with us and made us feel very welcome before we even set foot in the building. I quite fancy the burger for a change and it was really good. The place was very clean, staff very friendly, and very well priced. Will definitely go back again next time I'm in Southampton at the theatre.

Good all round food. The Pork Belly was outstanding. All this with good service and at a fair price.

Great drinks, fantastic service, lovely atmosphere. So nice to have somewhere to drink high-quality cocktails in Andover. Will be back for sure!

I was recommended to come here and was not disappointed. The venue had just reopened 7 weeks ago with new owners and has had a total refit and looks fresh, clean and vibrant. Our party was welcomed by 1 of the new owners, who was polite, courteous and friendly. We discovered during our visit that all the staff we encountered were just as attentive and friendly. Our food arrived quickly and was flavoursome and plentiful. Most of the dishes were homemade and you could taste that the ingredients were fresh and of high quality. There was also plenty to choose from and the menu catered for our parties dietary needs and allergens. Our party of 10 managed to eat 3 courses and have time for a cheeky cocktail with plenty of time to get to the theatre which is just across the road. The cost was very reasonable, I have not found food of the same quality at a better price in such close proximity to the Mayflower theatre. We would definitely eat here again and I will recommend this restaurant to my friends. Thank you and keep up the good work

Food was excellent and able to eat outside in the shade on an extremely hot day!

So very disappointed in our visit. The owner did apologise. It took 1 hour 15 minutes to serve 2 starters and 4 mains. Not accessable for wheel chair users, informed on booking and was originally going to be seated upstairs. Was told could have carrots with my meal, but when it came out all I git was meat and potatoes. Ordered the mozzarella and chorizo stuffed chicken It was dry and goodness knows wher the mozzarella was because there was none on my plate nor my husbands. No communication about no having carrots my daughter shared her peas in the end. The waitress was rude when I asked about the carrots. We were eventually offered drinks on the house but declined. My daughter was told there was a 20% reduction on the bill but no receipt was offered so could not check this. The owner did again come and speak to us, and there seems to be a lot of work to be done to make this establishment suitable for disabled people, this work really should have been carried out before you opened. We were not the only customers upset by the length of time it took for service, the table across from us walked out after waiting for nearly 20 minutes for staff to take their dessert items. First and last visit, sorry would not recommend nor would I visit again.
