since sheryll and richard moved into this pub they have transformed it out of recognition.The real ales are in first class order,the limited menu is very good value and the bars and garden areas are excellent.This pub is well worth a visit on your own,with your partner or the whole family.Give it a try.

Recently i put in a review for this pub praising the improvements.How wrong can you be.The beer selection has deteriorated,the "new" manager has more disappearing tricks than Penn andTeller, hopefully he will not see out his probation period.Musak has been banned but live morris dancing and other abominations are being encouraged.Please,Please can we have our old pub back.

another change of landlord,for the better i hope.beer still too cold,but was told this was being sorted.thechef has been imported from a local well known petersfield pub,so food should be excellent.the best thing is most of the tv's have disappeared hooray.good luck for the future.

well at last the accountant has gone.beer selection has improved by a long way,more locals coming back,food is excellent,atmophere very good but there is a downside.the new manager is too much like a previous manager but smaller in stature.whether he is trying to ingraciate himself from the off who knows,time will tell.

As a regular i am disappointed by the managements attitude towards this haven in a world of plastic pubs, they do not seem to have the knowledge or the passion to run this unique outlet. The new chef has improved the food 200% and is a decent bloke.Not so sure about the barman.The ale choice has been much better since the new year,i dont know why. some old locals are returning to the fold which has to be good,but the management are still a problem.As i said earlier there is no passion left in the old place which is a great shame. Hopefully the pub will one day get back to be its old self.

Not been in this pub since the chinaman ran it. what a difference. staff were amiable,snacks enjoyable,decor very nice.Now the beer.Good selection but much to cold.Even the real ales are put through the chiller,otherwise all ok.Worth a return call when back in the area.amdrinker

Having been put off by the previous landlady i was pleasently suprised by the long awaited return of somebody who knows what the pub trade is all about.All staff are very nice,the beer is back to drinkable and the food is very good.I wish the pub every success in the future. amdrinker

I am suprised that there is no write up 4 this pub.Nicely appointed interior,a good selection of fullers/gales ales and the food. The food is not for nibblers,it is homemade,hearty and absolutlely delish.It is well worth a visit if you are passing. amdrinker

Having been away for some time i visited the HAWKLEY and man was i shocked. I did not recognise any member of staff,there used to be a little blonde lady in charge the staff had no knowledge of her.The beer selection used to be between 8 to10 ales at any one time this day only 3 were on offer,this was because we had been blitzed was the reply from the fat bloke behind the bar.This used to be a haven for real ale drinkers but alas i fear it is no more.

The Hawkley Inn, Hawkley
I just cannot understand how the so called manager is still employed by the owners.How they cant fathom what hes up to beggars belief.Until he is removed this fine public house will never,ever live up to the hallowed name of THE HAWKLEY INN.
