Top Cafes in Colden common, Hampshire

We ate here for my wife’s birthday and had a fantastic meal, which included flowers and candles! Heather and Dan are amazing hosts and the food is always top class. With children the early bird menu is ideal and the pub has a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Thursday’s steak night is always good too.

Had Sunday lunch with two girlfriends.
Superb Sunday roast with tasteful food, cooked and presented to a high standard. Excellent portions. Wonderful, freshly baked dessert.
Highly recommended.
Friendly and welcoming staff.

We stayed at the Grove Arms for two nights in June of 2024 and have nothing but good things to say about the place. Management was friendly, and bent over backwards to make our stay amazing. Including letting us stash our luggage there well after checkout.

Our room was clean, comfortable, and decorated with a canine theme. The food was great, and the breakfast was better than we could have hoped. The dinner menu consists of classic English pub fare, including fish and chips and steak and ale pie.

The pub is bright and inviting, and the locals that hang out there made our stay fantastic.

If you want information about local walking paths, Phil is your man. His directions got us all the way to Shaftesbury and Gold Hill and back on foot without incident.

Thanks to Daren, Andy, Simon and the rest of the local crew for making our time in Ludwell so memorable.

We cannot recommend the Grove Arms strongly enough.
