A Hidden Gem in Otterbourne I had a meeting at a lovely spot in Otterbourne, Hampshire, and from the moment I arrived, I could tell this was a refined place. The elegant chandeliers with candles and the interesting selection of cars parked outside hinted at its charm. As I stepped inside, I was greeted by a beautifully arranged display of candles, candle holders, artisanal mugs, and boxes of sweet treats. It felt like walking through a boutique, and to the left, there was an inviting little shop with colorful, eye-catching items that made me pause and browse. Moving further in, I found an intimate room with a cozy fireplace and comfortable armchairs—an ideal setting to lose track of time. The space had different sections, each with its own character, including a low-ceilinged area leading to the café. At the café, a stunning display of round cakes caught my eye, and my daughter immediately chose the carrot cake. The counter also featured beautifully dried fruits—slices of oranges, lemons, and limes adding to the charm. I ordered a herbal blueberry tea, served in a Japanese-style metal teapot with a terracotta orange cup that perfectly complemented the deep color of my tea. To my delight, there was a cabinet filled with books and board games. Later, we ended up playing several rounds of Mikado, something I hadn’t done in years—it was such a wonderful surprise! I would highly recommend this place for meetings or gatherings in the Chandler’s Ford and Otterbourne areas. A truly special spot worth visiting!

Fantastic vegan options! Myself and my dad both had a full vegan 3 course meal! Very friendly and helpful staff and a beautiful pub!

Lovely visit after a dog walk. Nothing was too much trouble for the team, even helping us secure a 10% discount by signing up to their app. Food was very good and everyone left feeling satisfied. Good selection of ales and wine. You can really spoil yourself at this place. We will be visiting the sister restaurant to get the great deals through the app. Thanks for looking after the 6 off us and our fury friend.

Nice restaurant with good food, service can be slow at peak times and the food could be better for the price, but still a solid spot! Desserts are a highlight.
