ā€œStopped for lunch after a walk. Great food, especially the dhaal and ham hock. Loved the Ten Tun Tap house beer from over the road. Will come back soon to try the burgers!ā€

I had a really enjoyable brunch/lunch at Dill - great food, polite staff and a lovely, chilled atmosphere. I highly recommend the ham hock hash! 🤩

I stopped at dill on a Saturday afternoon with some friends for lunch and a catch up. It’s in a great position in central Alton and is in a beautiful old character building. It was bright, modern and clean inside, and there were plenty of tables - which is good as it’s a popular place. The menu has plenty of options and it was difficult to choose what I fancied as it all sounded so good! I settled on their chicken burger which came with fries and coleslaw. It was absolutely delicious, and the portion was very generous too. The service was friendly and efficient, and overall we had a fantastic lunch. I will definitely return again when visiting Alton, and I would highly recommend if you’re looking for somewhere nice for breakfast or lunch.

What a little gem in Alton! We had a fantastic time visiting dill. We were very late to our reservation due to traffic and the staff were very understanding, which we appreciated. The atmosphere was very relaxing. We had the tomato and mozzarella sourdough special, the hog father (pork belly burger) special and the sweet corn fritters. We very much enjoyed everything!

The food was enjoyable and fresh, which is always a plus. Although it took about 25-30 minutes for a simple dish to arrive, the quality made it worth the wait. It was nice to see the ladies at the reception handling greeting and serving duties, as well as taking orders at the counter in a well-coordinated manner. I encountered two ladies, and while one, Trisha, was genuinely kind, friendly, and full of happiness, the other seemed to be having a challenging day and wasn't as pleasant to interact with. Understandably, we all have our off moments. Overall it was a nice first experience.

ā€œThe food is delicious but the packaging touted as compostable is very misleading. It is "commercially" compostable. You cannot compost containers at home and I have yet to find info on anywhere local that can do this. They will end up in landfill. Can't be recycled. Vegware is the supplier and it tells you all this on their site. They have changed their containers! Now fully recyclable. Well done Sacred Chow šŸ˜Šā€

ā€œRory and Rae provided great service and were extremely friendly. The ribs were absolutely delectable and would love to have them again. Both the service and the food could not be better and will be highly recommending this pub to my friends and family. Please if you have the chance come to this pubā€

ā€œIf you are thinking about eating here consider this your sign to book and go immediately! Tonight my husband, daughter and I visited for my birthday dinner and it did not disappoint! We shared a pork belly and a halloumi starter. Now when I tell you the pork belly was one of the most amazing things I've eaten that's the understatement of the century it was insanely good! The halloumi was good too but the pork belly was just sheer perfection! Having finished our starters we were excited for our main course. My husband had the full rack of ribs and sweet potato fries, I had the half rack of ribs and truffle and parmigiana chips and my daughter had the popcorn chicken and chips (apologies for the half eaten meals pics for the mains but it looked so good we tucked in straight away!). The meat melted off the ribs and tasted soooooo good. My daughter and I finally finished off sharing a sticky toffee pudding and ice cream which was also divine. We've decided that this will now be our go to for any birthday or big celebration! It's more expensive than your every day pub dinner but the food is of a completely different standard way above that of a pub and honestly was worth every single penny! Note to the chef thank you so much for the fantastic food! To the wonderful waitress who kindly poured my daughters lemonade in a gin glass with ice, Strawberries and lemon so it looked like my gin you are a gem. You were so kind and welcoming and are a credit to the restaurant. Heavens kitchen it was an absolute pleasure šŸ™šŸ¼ thank you so much and I look forward to our next visit already! Notes for anyone visiting - they have tables outside the back (which have umbrellas to provide shade) as well as inside. There isn't much off road parking opposite but there are plenty of car parks within a short walking distance of the restaurant. The staff were super accommodating for my 8 year old daughter and the kids Menu consists of 4 main options and puddings so plenty of choice although the starters or sides would also work if you wanted to create something different!ā€

ā€œI wasn't sure what to expect with this being the restaurant of a Masterchef winner but I wasn't disappointed. The food outshone what I had experienced in the oriental parts of the world. It was gorgeous, the food sang from my taste buds in ways I haven't encountered since I came to this part of the world. The waitresses were friendly and attentive, I couldn't ask more from them. Their delivery of food from kitchen to plate, with a smile, was all I could ever ask for.. The overall experience was simple, with the food being front and centre, stealing the show. Would I go back... I want to go back already and I have only just left. Go here, eat the deliciousness on offer and have an amazing meal.ā€

ā€œThe rooms were lovely, the service great, and food delish. The best location for exploring Jane Austen’s house and easy to get to from Alton Train Station! The room was super cutely decorated and had exposed ceiling beams. Lots of lighting options and even a mini fridge. Comfy bed. The pub is a must! Great service, delicious food, dog friendly, and a warm fire going. Only downsides were the lock on the door - maybe instructions should have been left for this? It was extremely hard to lock and unlock. Something about holding the door handle up at a certain angle for it to work? This should be a very straight forward thing but it wasn’t and was a frustration every single entering or leaving. And it was rather chilly. It was January and there is a radiator under the window but it felt chilly and one night was very cold.ā€

ā€œWe recently hired The Barn for a family party & Rob & his team of amazing staff could not have been more accommodating! From my very first enquiry email through to collecting items the day after the party nothing was too much trouble! Communication was faultless, service on the night was above excellent, we had a lovely girl staffing the bar at all times & another lovely colleague of hers helping when needed…gorgeous girls…so very kind, friendly, chatty & helpful! The food was exceptional, extremely generous portion sizes & the Barn was just the perfect venue for what we wanted, I cannot recommend this place enough…I’m looking for an excuse to through another party now as we can’t wait to returnšŸŽ‰šŸŽ‰ā€

ā€œSecond visit here and booked the luxurious room with balcony. Received a tired looking room, that was given accidentally, but quickly resolved. Chap at bar was like a 5* butler and was gonna eat elsewhere, but quickly persuaded by him and pleasantly pleased. The room I got by accident, I would of been annoyed, but what I ordered was nice once resolved. Will stay here again when in area. Enjoyed my stay here, despite swerving it originally after reading just the neg reviews. Comfy beds, excellent service from front of house staff and great location for what I needed. Food was excellent, but limited choices on menu. Barmaid to receptionist excellent. Will stay again.ā€
