The Trout, Itchen Abbas

Zero child friendly - and be assured the children in our group were well behaved and were accompanied by 4 adults. However, the staff obviously only tolerate children if they're chained and gagged. The worst coffee I, my mother and my brother have ever had the misfortune to taste (and we've drunk a lot of coffee!). The building is really lovely but is shabby inside and out. The menu is pages long which, in hindsight, together with the cafe latte consisting of instant coffee, 90% water and 10% milk, should have sent us running for the hills. Ultimately it was the rude and unfriendly bar staff that proved to be the final straw. Grim!
