The best restaurants in Blackwater Test Valley South East

Attended for a wake and the service at the bar was impeccable. The finger buffet too was excellent and the room divider a brilliant idea. Thank you and well done.

Under new management and much improved again.

This was our annual family Christmas meal. The six of us meet up to enjoy a meal together before places get to busy, but enjoy great food. This was the third time of visiting The Hatchet at Christmas. The food and service was great as always. The only hiccup was using the third party booking system. We had booked and had confirmation email and a follow up email checking we still wanted the booking, but on arrival the booking hadn’t been forwarded to the pub. The staff were friendly and helpful to make up an emergency table for us. So I would recommend calling the pub to make your booking.

On a chilly early spring day - after buying onion sets and seed potatoes in this high quality family-run garden centre - we had an early lunch in their warm conservatory café: delicious soup, bread and particularly outstandingly yummy - and large! - cheese scones - all home made. The cheese scones are by far the best in a 10 mile radius of Romsey! The garden centre is also known locally for the wide collection of high quality dahlia plants.

As always, a warm welcome, super friendly staff, AMAZING food and great service! We both chose the burger which may not sound over exciting, but it was by far THE best burger I've tasted in years! Thank you again.. see you soon!

Good food, good drink a great experience all round Jake & Shanade were brilliant

Sunday lunch. The tasteless chewy meat -I had pork my partner beef arrived on top of a small portion of greyish mash, surrounded by a greasy, watery orange "gravy"? which was almost spilling off the plate.A very small dish of mixed vegetables. It was awful. We had lunched previously (last year) and it was really good.

Myself and a friend came in for coffee and cake one afternoon, after the Coffee Shop was highly recommended to us. The coffee shop was lovely, and there so many choices of cakes. The staff were so friendly and attentive, making our visit a pleasure. Best of all, it’s dog-friendly, so next time I will be taking my Jack Russell with me. A must-visit spot for great coffee and great vibes!

Was hoping to have lunch here as a reviewer praised it. There were four customers, it was quite dark, the tables were dirty, the floor was laden with crumbs. The lady behind the counter didn't look up from her phone. Needless to say we left. I've just read that the team there are from the recently closed, Choice Plants cafe, which was excellent. Hopefully cleanliness and service will improve. Should be a gold mine as there are caravanners on site most of the year.

Booked here for Sunday lunch. We were not disappointed. The cooking, quality of ingredients and the quantity was exceptional. We will definitely book again
