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

I had been waiting to come here for months and it did not disappoint. You are greeted with such a warm welcome. It is such a beautiful place with a lovely, warm atmosphere. Big thanks to both Ben and Lornette. The food was incredible, I had never been to a place like it or eaten food like it before. It was considered, delicious and refined food. Lornette is so friendly and professional at the same time, she has it down to such a fine art. Service and food was impeccable. I absolutely cannot wait to book to come again.

Visited in December for a birthday dinner. We were so impressed with the whole evening. Every dish was of the highest quality and the service was excellent. We're already planning our return!

We've been fortunate to have been twice and both times have been exceptional. The food is exquisite, the tuna was unbelievable. The atmosphere is warm welcoming. Can't recommend it enough.

Lovely gurkha restaurant, great service abs good selection of food. I had the mixed grill and it was delicious. Will definitely return!

We came in to dine in the Gurkha Restaurant, as it was our first time trying Nepalese food. It was me and my wife 12 year anniversary. I must say it was completely different to other indian restaurants we tried. It was not oily or greasy at all. The flavours were perfectly infused with the correct amount of masala and heat. Me and my partner throughly enjoyed it. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. They even gave us a free dessert for our special night. What's more interesting is they host weekly event on their Facebook page. Thank you so much Fewa Inn staff for the warm hospitality.

Really nice food. Busy night so a touch noisy. May have give 5/5 if their madras was similar temp as others I’d had. Bit on the hot side but nice.

A super local gem of a restaurant. I have been lucky enough to visit Nepal and sample the amazing food there first hand, this place feels like I am back there. Lovely staff, nice atmosphere and a real favourite of ours now.

What a divinely tantalising selection of flavours for the taste buds and eyes! Nathan and Evie provide a relaxed setting with exquisite food. Absolutly the best of the best and they live up to every expectation of their impeccable reputation ! Friendly, warm and marvelous in every way. I wish I could give you 10 stars. Thank you for such a fabulous night.

Had to book far in advance bit we finally got to experience this amazing food. Beautifully tucked away Nathan Marshall at Clarke House has a lovely laid back atmosphere with amazing service and food.

Tucked away in Liss just off the A3 is a really great restaurant waiting to be found. Some really solid and interesting cooking using some great ingredient’s. Canapés of Beetroot Arancini and Choux pastry with Parmesan was lovely and savoury. My starter called Oxtail puff was a Pitivier style puff pastry filled with shredded soft rich oxtail in the most delicious onion veloute….this was truly delicious, smooth and rich full of flavour and topped off with a slice of duck foie. The main of saddle of venison was cooked beautifully served with turnip and preserved plum and a small crisp samosa filled a rich stronger filling. We Finished on a beautifully light rhubarb soufflé served with a great rhubarb sorbet and torched lemon tart. The restaurant it self is small and seats about 16-20 and you feel like you have stumbled upon a hidden gem tucked away in the country side that people are keeping quiet.The service was relaxed and informal….pouring your own wine/water isn’t a problem. Places like Nathan’s don’t usually last long but they have proved that serving great food in an intimate setting works ….Go it’s well worth the effort…They have a strong following so booking a table can be a challenge.

Difficult to say how brilliant this restaurant is. Special in every way and can’t think that we have ever eaten a more amazing lunch. So fabulous that we made another reservation before we left!

Enjoyed lunch yesterday. Fantastic food. Best fish and chips ever ! Fresh , hot and very tasty. Lovely warm and cosy with the log fire on. Great to sit in there after a walk in the village. Friendly bar staff. Excellent service. Must visit again soon.

Lovely one night stay yesterday. Fish & chips and roast beef for dinner were very tasty with good sized portions. Shared a waffle and ice cream for dessert, very nice. Comfortable room and good choice for breakfast. Staff were friendly and service good. Will back in the summer for a braai. Good undercover seating in the garden

We had our company Christmas meal at the White Hart last night, 24 people. The food was incredible and we didn't have to wait long for them to serve everyone together. The staff were all so friendly and attentive, making sure everyone was ok for drinks between courses and anything else we might need. The organisation before the night was fantastic, great communication and very friendly - Thank you Stephanie!

Rory 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 pub

Found this absolutely Authentic Greek Takeaway when visiting the area. We actually went both nights in a row. The staff, or rather Family are brilliant. So friendly and helpful. I can honestly with hand on heart say this is Absolutely AUTHENTIC Greek food. We lived there a very long time so speak from experience!!. The taste and flavours and the smell of the charcoal grill is heavenly. It was lovely to meet everyone and spend time there. Excellent products and excellent quality. Service outstanding, cannot fault anything about the whole experience. Crazy good value for money with generous portions. Will definitely be back there . Φιλάκια Joyce x

The food is just amazing, it tastes fantastic - especially their sauces. We travel 30/40mins from Basingstoke just to eat here, therefore, I would strongly recommend this place. We tend to ride our motorbikes, grab food and then eat it around the corner @ Hogmoor Inclosure on the picnic benches.

After hearing such fantastic things about Greco Grill, I finally managed to get there today! I'm so glad i did and was not disappointed. The food was amazing! We had the Chicken Yee-ros and Lamb Souvlaki which were absolutely delicious. Everything tasted so fresh and cooked to perfection. Cannot recommend enough! It was also super quick too! The staff were so welcoming and efficient.

The best roast dinner around. We love coming here, the art work in the restaurant really adds to the ambience and is always a conversation starter. We've never had a bad meal at The Hanger, everything we've tried has been delicious and the service is great

A very pleasant modern country pub that combines a classic pub decor with a large neo-minimalist conservatory. The food was excellent. I had a beef burger with pulled pork. This burger combines a juicy beef patty with tender, smoky pulled pork glazed in tangy sauce. Nestled in a toasted brioche bun with crisp lettuce, juicy tomato, each bite bursts with rich, savory flavor and perfect texture. Perhaps there were too many pickles though. They could improve the selection of beer, as I found the choice lacking, and there was no beer I was truly happy with, especially for the extortionate prices . Hence the 4 star. They are dog friendly, tails wagged in every corner. Making everyone feel happy. Overall, worth a visit.

Previous visits were disappointing, but we thought we'd give it another go as it's under new ownership. Not disappointed the food and service were excellent. Really interesting and innovative menu, beautifully cooked. We'll definitely be back soon.

Would absolutely recommend the Hanger for Sunday lunch. I had the beef and it was genuinely the best roast dinner I’ve ever had. My partner had the roast chicken and mum had the pork which were both also incredible. Definitely recommend the cauliflower cheese, probably worth getting a portion per person, I could’ve eaten my body weight in the stuff. The atmosphere was lovely, we booked for 1pm and it was a little quiet but still really nice. By the time we left the car park was full so probably worth booking earlier as I don’t know the area well but couldn’t see many other options parking wise when the car park was full.

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 ☺️

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 arrived without a table booking on a very busy Sunday, with 3 dogs in tow. They managed to offer us a lovely outdoor, heated seating area, so we could have lunch. Portion sizes were enormous (the dogs got the leftovers), food was delicious and served nice and hot. There was atleast 3 choices of meat on offer for the Sunday roast, along with a great choice of other mains. Typical gastro pub pricing, around £15-24 per main for adults. Whilst we were there 4 horse riders turned up for hot chocolate and chips, and the landlord bought carrots out for the horses. So definitely dog & horse friendly.

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.

We booked a table last minute and arrived for dinner as a group of 4. The service was great, good absolutely delicious, would 100% come back. There's a really good vegetarian selection on the menu! Very generous portions.

Had a great Sunday Roast here. My wife and I had the Nut Roast which was superb. Nice and moist etc. and the whole meal was very pleasant. Great friendly attentive staff all round too. Would happily return.

We held a wake here and were really impressed. The buffet food was lovely, everyone was very helpful and the venue was a great place for guests to relax and mingle. The pub garden was also lovely on a rare sunny day in March.

We visited for the first time as we were in the area and looking for a main meal. There wasn't many reviews on this pub so we took a punt. First thoughts were great choice of food on the menu, so many delicious meals to choose from and great selection for the kids. The food was fantastic! We all thoroughly enjoyed it. Also they had a bookshelf with games and colouring for the kids which is a great touch. At first we commented how nice it was to have fresh water put on the table without asking, however they added £3 onto the bill at the end for the water which is wrong, considering we didn't realise or get told this. That is the reason for the 4* and not 5. And also the fact dogs are allowed and a breed I am severely allergic to was sat on the table next to us, so we did have to hurry our food down to leave. Also we did say thank you and bye to the (what I assume is the landlady) and we were ignored.

How very disappointing that my suggestion to put a ‘Please Close the door,’ sign was received with such rudeness and distain by a member of the cafe’s staff. The door has been broken for months , minus 4 degrees outside and a the door constantly being left open means it wasn’t an enjoyable cake and coffee today. I was particularly polite in my approach to the staff member who was very rude and aside it was ‘next doors problem.’ Please give some attention to customer care and basic manners shown by staff members.

A great place for food, gifts and plants! We visited today and it’s always good to see the wide range of fresh produce and the great range of meats. Christmas had arrived too and there was an excellent selection of decorations, crackers, gift wrap, trees, lights and gifts. Plenty to browse through and lots of stock in interesting displays. There was also a separate area with artificial trees, baskets and outdoor lighting although the set up was a bit haphazard, probably not quite finished yet. Well worth a visit.

Although I didn't stay on this visit, I have previously and I love the place. This time, a birthday meal in the Stateroom at The Anchor Inn. The staff were great, really helpful, nothing too much trouble. The manager, Nadia, and her team were great at looking after us all. A table of 18. The food? Lovely! Great choice and everyone was delighted with what they got. The team at the Anchor also went out of the way to provide for options that we hadn't requested previously. Will definitely be back, as will some of our guests from what they said. Thank you, Thank you, Thanks you to the whole team at The Anchor for making our night so special

Just stayed for 1 night at the Anchor Inn. We had dinner there, which was absolutely delicious and also the breakfast, which was very well cooked and equally delicious! Our room was a great size and the bed was comfy. Very good value for money with the breakfast included. We'll be back!
