The Harrow Inn, Compton

Made first-time visit to the Harrow on Sunday lunchtime along with others from a walking group. Extremely impressed with the quality and generous quantities of food on offer, at very reasonable prices too. Around our table this included, from a varied menu, huge portions of ploughman's, ham egg & chips, roast pork & trimmings, fish & chips and salmon & crayfish salad. Service was friendly and attentive. The beer selection of Tribute, Doombar and T.E.A. seems to be standard for the pub but the several pints of Tribute I had were exemplary.

Wheelwright Arms, Matfield

Went here on Sunday both before and after a nice walk in the Kent countryside. Despite a manic lunchtime serving many meals the staff were cheerful and courteous. A good couple of pints of Spitfire and excellent ham, egg and chips with delicious home-cured ham. Others had tasty fish n chips and a vg house burger... Recommended!

The Old Vine, Winchester

Had a very nice lunch there last week (Sunday). Would agree that it's a bit more of an eatery than a boozy watering hole (and of course the staff are conscious of this) but we'd also be very happy to pop into the right-hand bar if we just wanted a pint and a sandwich.
The place was busy but service prompt and friendly ... That and the excellent pint of Taylor's Landlord (Ringwood beers also available) made it somewhere we'd be happy to re-visit. Handy for the cathedral too.
