Reviews in Petersfield

This pub is rapidly becoming our 'local'. We moved to the area 18 months ago but spent the first year working on the house and garden, so now we are out and about enjoying ourselves. We can walk to it in fifteen minutes so that is an obvious attraction, but it would mean nothing if the food, staff and general atmosphere were not as lovely as they are. Definitely a "thumbs up" to you from us.

This is a lovely pub, fabulous garden and indoor eating area. All the staff are helpful and friendly. Nice food, cooked well.

Mixed group of old work mates. Who met most years for lunch . Think everyone Enjoyed their lunch . We were not rushed and sat and gossiped for a while .

Great food,great atmosphere,

Visited with a party of 10 last weekend for a family lunch. The staff were friendly and very helpful (especially as some of our party were delayed by traffic). The food was great and the children with us loved being able to play safely outside. We had a very enjoyable, relaxed lunch and would definitely visit again.

Visited in a party of 6 for lunch. Had a nice round table and staff were attentive and pleasant. The food was hot and tasty and good value. The staff at the bar were also very pleasant. An all round enjoyable experience,

Excellent food and excellent and courteous service.

Trying to find somewhere to eat in the Petersfield area on a Monday for a family get-together was quite difficult so we were pleased to find The Half Moon was open and serving food. It was also helpful that we were all allowed to stay and chat after our meal, only being to catch up with each other a few times each year. Thank you. We enjoyed our food and would recommend a visit there if you are passing by.

As usual the food was excellent, and the service friendly and professional.

Waiter very attentive Food mediocre Old fashioned looked a bit tired - menu looked dated - someone said felt like eating in a nursing home . Need to update things have moved on.

We ate here for valentines night and we had the tasting menu. The staff were really attentive and gave us time between courses when needed. The atmosphere was lgood and the table was decorated really nicely. All the courses were beautifully presented and absolutely delicious and the wine pairing worked well. The courses were really well thought out and if I could have picked a menu with all my favourite foods it would have been this . A wonderful evening, will definitely return.

We had a really fantastic lunch on Wednesday 4th February 2026. The staff were very accommodating as I am in a wheelchair and moved us due to a noisy party. The food for the main & deserts were well cooked & tasty! We would return again .

We visited the Half Moon for a family meet up for my 80th. The location is good with plenty of parking. The staff were polite and helpful. The menu is a good variety and well presented. We will visit again.

Always enjoy having a meal at the Half Moon, friendly relaxed atmosphere.

A pub/restaurant with a great friendly atmosphere. The food is always top quality and even at busy times, served in good time. One slight negative... as a vegetarian, I miss the veggie burgers that they used to do a few years ago. They were among the best I've ever tasted.

We felt like we were un welcome! Booked a table a few days in advance and asked for the restaurant and not bar. We arrived and the waitress couldn’t find our booking and then found it and sat us on a small table in the bar ( we struggled to fit all our plates on the table) the table was so close to the door that my son got cold everytime someone opened it! Our order was taken and 15 mins passed and the chef came over to apologise, he has only just seen our order and is starting it now, a little frustrating but full respect to him for coming over. The food was amazing! Can’t fault any of our dishes, the wait was excessive being 2hrs for mains and desserts but I don’t mind waiting for good food so we didn’t mind too much. Asked for a cappuccino and it had no foam and tasted of just milk so I left that and ordered a peppermint tea. We asked for the bill which came promptly, the waitress asked if we needed the card machine which we replied no we will be paying cash, we left that on the table including a tip and said goodbye to the waitresses, we then got chased into the car park to ask if we had paid! Really!! You have just ran past our table where you can see the cash if you had looked to ask if we had paid, very insulting. What was meant to be a celebration lunch for my son in laws birthday left us feeling underwhelmed, it it wasn’t for the fact the food was good, we wouldn’t return. Some staff training is needed

Very friendly staff and good enjoyable food. Was noisy in restaurant but shows popularity for get togethers.

Thoroughly enjoyed our lunchtime catch up with friends. The food was excellent as always. Lovevthe specials menu with some unusual choices. Staff very friendly and efficient.
