A family focus is the priority at the De Havilland Arms, illustrated by an extensive menu catering for all tastes and a great children’s play area. Alongside this, expect a commitment to hospitality, fresh, interesting food and great value. It’s hard to believe this thriving Hall & Woodhouse enterprise (off Junction 4A of the M3) was built only six years ago. Exposed brickwork, wooden floors and beams and secluded tables lend this cosy, candlelit hostelry charm from a bygone age. With emphasis on quality, talented chefs provide delicious food all day.

We enjoyed a hearty plateful of chilli-glazed salmon, chunky wedges and tossed pepper leaf salad, alongside quirky, spicy jalapeno coleslaw and a succulent rump steak with tangy Blandford Flyer ale and barbecue sauce. These generous portions would satisfy even those with the biggest appetites. It was hard to fit in dessert, but who could resist the comforting classic jam
sponge and creamy custard on an autumnal evening? De Havilland Arms’ friendly atmosphere makes it feel like a home from home. Indeed, from personal experience, I can guarantee you’ll receive the warmest of welcomes at this cosy abode.

Spread your wings, fly down to Barton-on-Sea and make a welcoming nest at The House Martin – a popular pub on the main A337. While large and open, this pub retains a cosy feel thanks to its wooden flooring and ambient lighting. It’s well- frequented by locals, but is also an ideal location for holidaymakers venturing to this beautiful corner of Hampshire to explore its famous scenic stretch of coastline.
Open: Mon-Sat 11am-11pm; Sun noon-10.30pm
The pub has been extended, with a comfortable barn area providing a separate dining space. Alternatively, guests are welcome to eat in the lively main bar. The menu is extensive and we were truly spoilt for choice, beginning with spicy chicken bruschetta topped with a scattering of almonds. This was followed by a dish from the ‘Heritage’ section of the menu, which provides fresh, traditional comfort food – in our case, the legendary steak and Tanglefoot ale pie and the hand-battered fish and
chips. With almost no room left for desserts, we enjoyed mini puds of deliciously dark chocolate mousse and toffee cheesecake. These tasty bite-size versions of everyone’s favourite puddings made for a guilt- free sweet treat. With an excellent menu and a superb choice of real ales, be sure to migrate to The House Martin soon.
