The Bull and Butcher, Turville

Very pretty pub in great location. Friendly staff. Our round of drinks came to an unexpectedly pricey sum, but there's a good choice of food at lunchtime. Get there early though - it gets very busy. We walked up to the windmill afterwards (now a private residence) and watched the red kites flying over the village.

The Chequers Inn, Fingest

We'd only been walking an hour from another pub, but couldn't resist visiting the Chequers and were very glad we did. It's a very pretty pub and has a beautiful garden. The lunch menu looked enticing, and I can't wait to return! I want it as my local!

Platforms, Basingstoke

More like a small pub than a wine bar. We went on a Weds evening and were surprised to see it was packed out. There was a DJ and karaoke. Good if you like a place that is lively and loud.

The Waterwitch, Odiham

We had a very disappointing Sunday lunchtime meal here recently. The menu sounded lovely but the food was very disappointing when it came - it was over-cooked, over-priced and really small portions. You even have to pay extra to have vegetables with your meal! We saw customers leave to go elsewhere when they saw the long queue for food orders. On the plus side, the garden is great for children to run around and play. We may go back to drink, but definitely not to eat.
