Black Horse, West Tytherleyback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
Excellent pub. Four beers on at the time of my visit, Hop Back GFB, a Bowmans and a couple of unusual ones. Bit surprised at the mention of a lack of seating... it must have been busy... there are a myriad of different rooms in this rabbit warren of a pub, including a skittle alley plus an interior courtyard garden. A past South Hampshire pub of the year and I can understand why.

Just moved to the area although having worked in the area for years I have visited all but this one before. All the ales I tried were cracking. Lunch (pie) was one of the best I have had. Locals (farm workers by the sound of them) were a good bunch and added to the atmosphere. It is a bit limited in seating but its worth the effort. My local is the silver plough which is a great pub but it only serves Badger which isn't one of my favourites. The range here was much more to me taste and with a choice pof 4 I was not disappointed.

Thriving local with a good mix of village custom, although the downside is that there was no-where to sit or stand, and I do get irritated when locals stand at the bar and block you out. Plenty of space to enjoy the lovely evening though.
Excellent all-rounder with pretty good Hop Back and similar beers.

Really enjoyed my visit here for a weekday lunch recently. Good food and beer, and friendly staff all in a charming traditional little pub.

Turned up here quite by chance after visiting my sister in Farley. I love it! Great HopBack beers well kept and well served.
More of the same please!
The food looked great!

This is another nice little pub around this area. Normally serves Bowman ales and Hop Back (not my favorite, but the Bowman's is good). The food is all reasonably priced with fair sized portions. This use to be a Whitbread pub and still shows signs of its old owners. The couple running it have only ever run this pub and it is a credit to them. Well worth a visit.

WOW!! I hadn't been in here for a few years despite living nearby, but I called in for Sunday lunch a few weeks ago after my dear mum said it had changed hands and things were on the up. I have to say the food was superb, at the time I think i even said it was the best sunday lunch i had ever had, I think I was a little taken a back by the quality of the food on offer.
They have successfully managed to retain some of the old charm and proper pub feel, while making the dining a cosy, friendly experience that is all about locally produced food.
The lamb had already sold out (turn up early or book on the phone if you don't want to miss out) so the three of us had duck, chicken and beef. Each dish was cooked pretty much to perfection and the home made yorkshire puddings were great. Sunday lunch just how it should be!
This pub focusses on local, fresh produce all of which is prepared on site and served in simple, traditional dishes. The menu is short, but in my opinion that is the way it should be, as means each dish excels. It is always so disheartening to find a pub that has 30 dishes on the menu as you can almost guarantee each one will be mediocre. Not the case with this pub.
To top it all off the ales are well kept, the Bowmans "swift one" was a very refreshing pint and anything on tap from Hopback is a safe bet.
All in all this pub comes very highly recommended, great food, nice atmosphere, good beers and friendly service, what more could you want?!
