The Best Restaurants in Adbury, Hampshire, United Kingdom (2025)

6 of us went for a pre-christmas lunch. very good food, well presented. wonderful to be close to the log burner, and the sheepskins on the wooden chairs were a treat.

What a GREAT find!! This is a lovely county pub with B&B rooms, some above the pub and the others in the outside / garden area, adjoining the pub. We stayed in one of the garden rooms which was lovely. The food at dinner was DELICIOUS, great portions and every course was delicious, we didn’t have breakfast but I am sure it would have been great too!! There’s a big, free onsite car park which is very convenient . If we are ever in this area again, I would not hesitate to book and stay here - I’d like to book a Sunday next time so we can sample their delicious roast dinners! All of the staff were great, very friendly, bubbly & very accommodating - THANK YOU ☺️

Outstanding quality of food and lovely location. I have never eaten better fish (fish and chips, although I'm not a chips fan) anywhere and believe me, I've eaten a lot. We also had the beet root and goat cheese salad which was a poem in itself - absolutely delicious! Highly recommended!!!

Thoroughly enjoyed a leisurely lunch here on a Saturday. Great food. Good service. Lovely location. Everything we hoped for - even in a cold November day.

Superb service, could not have been better looked after. Very classy but relaxed and comfortable. Delicious food and amazing crockery (wow those soup bowls 'Hemisphere' by J. L. Coquet!!), and do have a latte 👌

Live quite a distance from here and haven’t visited for some time but oh how wonderful to return with chums for dinner recently. Just a cosy relaxed setting on the waters edge . The food never ceases to amaze me both in flavours and presentation and the wine list is bound to please those with discerning tastes. A complete joy you won’t be disappointed!

Out of the way place, but so so pretty esp the beer garden. Went for the chalk water trout was not disappointed & will be coming back again soon!. Unfortunately, it was a Monday & service was quite slow, hence the 4 stars. I'm going to go for a weekend brunch next time in the near future to see if service is different. Cocktails were great, too!. Would recommend & will go again. TO ADD been a few times since my initial review. They're recruiting if anyone's looking for a job. There were more staff, hence my rating going from 4-5. The food is delicious & I'm trying to work myself through it all. I had the venison pie of the day from the special's menu. Baking hot wholesome food just as I like it!. Great job guy's, be seeing you again soon!. Thank you 😊

Came back to the Deers Hut to celebrate my husband's birthday we have been several times in the last few months. The meal was lovely as always. But we did feel we were almost forgotten once we had our main , and by the time anyone came back to ask us what we wanted for pudding we changed our mind and just had a coffee . Which we ended up ordering at the bar . I do appreciate being a Sunday they were busy . But we were definitely forgotten.

A fabulous celebration for my mum's 80th, the team at the Deers Hut were very accommodating and made us very welcome. The food was delicious and served promptly and accurately. A good wine selection at fair prices too. As a group of 18 diners, this can be a challenge. Thanks for helping us celebrate!

We came here last night and we absolutely loved it! We had the shared Camembert to start off with which was delicious! I then had the sausages and mash which was amazing as well. Such a lovely cosy pub to go too! Would definitely love to come back and recommend ☺️

Has a friend over from America who was born in England and moved to America years ago … she brought her church friends over for a visit of where she lived … They were armed to have lunch in a traditional English thatched country pub .. We happened on the rise and crown by accident Was amazing … great food great staff great service …. Ticked every box plus more … the American ladies still mention how amazing it was every time I speak to them …

Had lunch at the Rose and Crown today and it was superb! Very friendly and welcoming staff, a lovely old pub, great beer and fantastic food. Best fish and chips ever with lovely crunchy batter and chef rustled up a smashing vegan filo pastry dish for my vegan son. Top work and many thanks! We will visit again!

Great pub, great staff giving great service and most definitely great food. Lovely, pretty village location with quite a number of thatched dwellings. Enjoyed it immensely.

Amazing little inn with rooms over the pub. Rooms were comfortable and spacious. We also had the opportunity to have dinner on one night of our stay and it was absolutely DELICIOUS. The staff were so nice and listened to our concerns when we expressed an issue with our room (noise coming from another room). Having a small fridge in the room and accessible washers and dryers in the inn would be a great addition!! This place is also about 20 min away from the nearest grocery store, something to consider if you’re staying here for a longer duration. All in all we were extremely happy with our stay.

Lovely, warm and friendly historic pub in the New Forest. We had Sunday lunch here a couple of weeks ago and while the portions were generous and the vegetables, Yorkshire Pudding and roast spuds were delicious, the meat (both the turkey and the beef) was overcooked and reminiscent of school dinner roasts. Service was excellent though. Hopefully you can do something about the meat so it's better the next time we come. Thank you!

Had an excellent evening meal here last week. While the food wasn’t Michelin quality, when added to the lively ambiance, super friendly staff, open fire and the feel of a genuine old-style community pub (a lot easier said than done) this is a winner. This part of the New Forest is blessed with decent pubs (like the New Forest Inn) but the Trusty Servant is up there with the best of them. Be careful with parking as it is easy to block a gate or driveway in the pitch darkness that descends on England by four in the afternoon at this time of year. Place is chilled.

Absolutely loved our stay here. This was the perfect place for our young family to explore the New Forest and was always a nice warm welcome back to at the end of each day out and about. The food is excellent (both adults and children’s menu) and the cosy pub with its open fires and great beers was the perfect place to relax after an eventful day exploring. We stayed in room 1 which overlooked the green so our daughter was able to watch the horses grazing and had plenty of room for us all. Thank you for having us and can’t wait to stay again.

Thank you to all staff at the Trusty Servant. You made us feel very welcome and service was excellent. Great location to explore the new forest. Our room was spacious, warm and clean. All food very enjoyable. Thanks again to all.

Restaurant w excellent ingredients and good cooking. We entered the restaurant and we marveled at the view over an valley. Young staff are courteous and tried to be helpful. The cocktail, lemon margarita, was excellent. We ordered the two sharing plates on the menu, fried vegetable and coppa. Dishes are well presented and cooked w excellent ingredients. The wine list is quite comprehensive, though I would say the good one are probably about 20% overpriced, compared to restaurants of similar caliber. Overall, we are really pleased with restaurant and are looking forward to revisiting

This Green Michelin Star restaurant is an absolute delight to the 5 senses! With a menu that owes a large portion of it’s fresh ingredients to the farm on the property, the chef has designed a menu that offers deliciously flavorful cuisine that is unburdened with heavy sauces and overly rich combinations. We thoroughly enjoyed the light, fragrant fare, packed with natural goodness. Of course, the well appointed restaurant and terrace with sun kissed views of the natural landscape only added to the charm of the experience. We’re already looking forward to our next visit!

Superb meal at Marle. Was interested by the focus on sustainable and natural produce. The cooking was perfection, all dishes extremely well put together. Presentation was sensational. I found the atmosphere of the restaurant to be a great blend of pristine service accompanied by a friendly and welcoming attitude. Certainly not stuffy at all. Highlight dish was the trout main which is probably the best fish dish I've ever eaten. It was cooked just right and not over-dressed, the quality of the fish spoke for itself. Best potatoes ever! Simply scrumptious. Can not recommend Marle highly enough.

My husband and I dined at Marle on Sunday evening and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We weren't rushed in anyway despite having arrived at 18:30 and it was nice to see other diners in the restaurant. The food was exceptionally tasty and we really enjoyed our meal. Our waiters were friendly and the runners were very keen to help and kept asking if we needed anything else. There are a few things though that could have made the experience that much better. There was no one at the door to greet us when we arrived and service felt extremely casual. Our waiter for the evening was a really friendly young man but felt he was quite hesitant. We were not going to order a bottle of wine rather a few glasses but had to wait with empty drinks glasses for quite some time until our mains arrived at the table before an order was taken and then waited a while before they arrived. We only saw the Sommelier once in the whole evening. When we ordered our waiter wasn't comfortable with the wines by the glass on the list, all in all it felt a little lacking. The fried green tomato "sharing plate" was so delicious but plating was clumsy and was just 4 slices on a plate with a spoonful of aioli, not appealing to the eye. My main course of the squid, albeit excellent and so tender wasn't what was described on the menu. I really don't have an issue with that but if any changes were made it would have been nice to know i.e. no peppers and also no aioli. Again plating of both mains was quite clumsy, rushed. The only other feedback I have is that on the trio of ice creams I felt like the Fior di Latte ice cream had been defrosted and refrozen or not churned properly, as opposed to rich and creamy it was very icy and very sweet. The other 2 flavours were great and a perfect way to end our meal. My husband commented that you can tell the produce is excellent because the flavours were so good. We loved the surroundings and being sat in the "green house" part of the restaurant. Please don't get me wrong it was a lovely evening and we were very happy when we left it's just the small things that you notice that could really change the experience from a 4 to a 5.

Lovely food and service but felt a bit cramped. Totally understand the more table the more money they can make, but i felt there could be a bit more room between tables. My father had to move the table to be able to get out as there was a chair touching his.

Absolutely LOVED this place. The other reviews certainly didn't lie. Outside of Italy it was the best Carbonara I have eaten. I would definitely recommend to any pasta and pizza fan!

Absolutely amazing, the food was phenomenal absolutely phenomenal. Fast and very friendly service, clean and very atmospheric. Not a bad thing to say about this place... A rare all five star rating from me.

We have been coming here for the best part of 25 years now and is and has always been one of our go to restaurants. Last night 4 of us visited, the place was rammed as usual but our table was waiting for us. The menu is traditional with many items on it having been on there for the past 25 years but that is no bad thing. A decent sized menu with many main courses and separate pasta and pizza sections but it’s the specials that are always worth trying. Last night it was a starter of crostini with crab, chilli and lemon as a starter followed by sea bream with a bed tomatoes, olives and peppers and side veggies. Both were magnificent, stunning flavours and good fresh fish. I was pretty full but the desserts are a must here so the white chocolate praline with caramelised pecans and crème anglais was a no brainer and wow I loved it. Great place, friendly staff and always good service, despite me going home and complaining about how stuffed I was !!!

Fantastic eatery with exquisite food, friendly & attentive staff and an excellent wine menu 🍷 ! Not pictured is the delicious rib eye that didn’t last long after being placed in front of me! 🥩 I had the chorizo “nibble”-sized appetiser, followed by the baked potato gnocchi (so so good!), steak and sticky toffee pudding (which I wish I had shared with someone after all that!). Would highly recommend and hope to be back soon.

Wonderful attention to detail. Superb quality food. Venison potpie lovely delicate flavour, triple cooked chips light and crisp, sourdough bread had lovely texture and not too sour.

What a little gem! Excellent food and cosy atmosphere! Had a lovely lunch with friends and brought the dog too without any issue. We will definitely be back.

I had a truly lovely meal here followed by a luxurious and peaceful nights sleep on the Hayloft. I couldn't have asked for more. The service was excellent, the room was cosy and very restful. The food was all excellent and I clearly need to stay there more often as the menu was extensive. Thank you for a very memorable evening

Visited here on Monday for the first time as I was in the area of Basingstoke celebrating my wedding anniversary.. First impression.A*. Very clean and lovely decor. I'm vegan and the options were plentyful Staff was very welcoming and prices were great. The food was exceptional.. flavour,freshness, quantity and quality.. Absolutely enjoyed every bit of it. Had a bit of a wait but I was not fussed about it because good food with such standards takes time. You can tell a lot about food by the chef's passion. How it was prepared and presented. I would definitely recommend this place and hope to visit again if I'm in Basingstoke. Please please keep up the standards and service of your restaurant..it's very rare in these times. Absolutely great food and service..

Decided to try here due to reviews. I got the Chati Lamb prices at £16.50, rice and peshwari nan. I find the prices a little on the high side given the portion size served. The curry had a lot of spice, the lamb was soft with a couple of chewy parts but spice like a Madras. The rice was fine as you would expect. The Nan, was a bit flavourless actually, very small portion with not very much filling. Overall I would rate this visit 6/10.

A Culinary Delight- A memorable Experience! We recently had the pleasure of dining at Spices and spirits Basingstoke and it was an exquisite experience that left us all absolutely delighted. The moment we walked in, we knew we were in for a treat.. The ambiance at the restaurant is lively. Soft lighting and well thought-out decor which enlightened the perfect mood for our evening. Every dish we ordered was a work of art, both visually and tastefully. Service at Spices and Spirits was brilliant. Can’t wait to return for another unforgettable meal.

First visit here after getting to know that they stand apart and been serving the best. !!Yes yes they are!! It was dinner meet with our office team thought to book this restaurant and they were simply great both food and Service. Special mention about the traditional rich Indian décor which dwells you back to the essence of Indian mood.. We shall visit them very soon.

Great to see the Bowman open and fully functional once again. Fantastic friendly and attentive staff. Clutter free and now very clean. Improved range of beers particularly some from the Flower Pots. Outstanding improvements across the board except the food. Early days but there are no specials on the board, always a highlight of the old regime. The base menu is limited and similar to many average pubs put pricing is on the high side. I went for the safe option of a burger and chips £17. Dry and limited in flavour. Disappointing. I love the Bowman and will return. I won’t try the burger again but will try to find something that appeals. I hope they address the food issue otherwise it will simply be a stop off on a walk. That would be a shame.

Unreal roast dinner, me and a mate got the chicken and sirloin roast and both thoroughly enjoyed them. Followed by the unreal “bowman brownie”. And to top it off a perfectly poured pint of Asahi and amazing service, all at an amazing price ! Great pub

Brilliant new landlords! Went for Sunday lunch to see how the reopening of the pub had been, was pretty busy and unfortunately didn’t think to book but they managed to squeeze us in!! Had the pork roast, I think they called it porchetta, brilliant. Great food and great offers on ale and cider! Will be going back more regularly!
