The Hatchgate, Hook

What a great pub! We dined at this lovely pub/restaurant last year and although it was a little out of our way we finally made it back with a group of friends and will be doing so again. A lovely Australian girl looked after us so well but we were told she has since returned home to have a baby. We were not disappointed this time around either as the owners choice of staff is excellent still. It is more about just dining out, the staff make you feel like they want you there not like alot of other pubs you visit these days where you seem to be an inconvenience.
The menu is fantastic and no one in our booking of 10 had trouble finding something to suit them.
Our meals were worth every penny and the great range of wines definately suits all aspects of the menu.
We very much liked how at the end of the evening the landlord cared enough to come out of the kitchen and ask how we enjoyed our evening and how we 1st heard about his pub. You can tell he values his customers and for people who live close to the area I would recommend dropping in for a pint with the lovely bunch of locals who invited us to share a drink with them at the end of the night.
We look forward to returning to this lovely pub - if only there were more like it nearer london.
