£25 The Hatchet Inn


 Location Sailsbury Road, Sherfield English, Nr. Romsey, SO51 6FP t: 0844 683 6637


Nestled in the beautiful village of Sherfield English, The Hatchet Inn really feels like a home from home. There’s a refreshing sense of community here and from the moment you walk through the doors you’ll feel truly welcomed. The Hatchet Inn offers comfort food at its absolute finest. The aroma of rustic fare fills the air, so follow your nose and make sure to sample the pub favourites and seasonal items that make up the tempting menu. Crispy fried jalapenos and crayfish tails to start were a delight and perfectly accompanied by mouth-watering freshly baked bread. Mains of pumpkin and Parmesan tortellini and succulent duck breast beg to be washed down with one of the award-winning ales. A great choice for families with an appetising children’s menu and outdoor play area, The Hatchet Inn is a truly wonderful country pub.

 Location Upper Froyle, Nr. Alton, GU34 4JH t: 0844 683 1794 w: www.henandchicken.co.uk e: info@henandchicken.co.uk


This charming English pub is the perfect place to enjoy a relaxed drink and a bite to eat. With oak-finished furniture, roaring fires and friendly staff bustling about, the atmosphere is snug and inviting. Unwind in comfort while perusing the evening menu, which offers reasonably priced dishes made using fresh ingredients sourced from local suppliers where possible. The accompanying wine list features quality labels from France, Chile, South Africa and Australia. To start, we enjoyed the smoked haddock and chive fishcakes with leek and cream sauce. The gourmet thin- crust pizza generously topped with red meats and fresh rocket made for a moreish main. To finish, we shared sticky toffee pudding and warm chocolate brownie in rich chocolate sauce – the ultimate showstopper. Alongside the main menu, there are also great meal deals to be had, as well as special steak nights to muscle in on.
