Cafe in Romsey

“Such a lovely place to come and get lunch /dinner with friends or family. They have a lovely spacious garden and some playing equipment for the kids to enjoy. They also have a lovely Tractor in the garden which you can sit on and enjoy. :) The food was tasty and definitely worth coming for! They also do a wide range of gluten free options which was very good for myself. They also have a kids menu and have good options and the portion sizes are good. I would recommend visiting! ☺️”

“Incredible food and hospitality. I am a student at Winchester so go in regularly and the food is incredible and drinks are lovely and well priced. I would also like to shout out Jack for his hospitality and brilliant sense of humor”

“Wonderful pub. Lovely and very friendly staff. Food is superb. Steak pie the best I have ever had.Will go back again.”

“1st class. Staff were great, good banter with the barman where nothing was too much trouble! Our room was superb, clean and had lovely personal touches. Breakfast was great along with the staff too. We were on a business trip but would love to go there again regardless of the 4hr journey!”

“Enjoyed the feast over fire event. Welcoming atmosphere and ambiance in the courtyard with love music, food was plentiful and delicious (too much to eat!), staff were lovely. Only downside is trying to get a taxi home! Would highly recommend this event on a summer evening.”

“Brilliant food, great service! Reasonably priced with good sized portions, the food came quickly and all together. Veggy curry was lush, and the pie of the day was really good too. They also had live music which was a really nice addition.”

“We had Sunday lunch here as a group of 12 and everything was amazing! We pre-ordered our food and it came soon after we sat down. The extra dessert orders we placed on the day were no problem and the staff were all so accommodating. The added bonus was the enclosed children’s play area which I didn’t know was there when I booked. The children loved it! Will definitely return when we are in the area again.”

“Visited with friends when camping nearby. A lovely friendly country pub which was reasonably priced. Blonde lady behind the bar was so friendly, as was the local sitting at the bar. They also sold dog treats, cute!”

“I have been here a number of times and it is always excellent. Friendly arrive, great food that arrives in good time. Lots of choices - both on the menu and daily specials on blackboards.”

“Forgot to take photos of everything that we ate because they were gone in seconds. We enjoyed every bite. Everything was so nice - coffee, English breakfast, burger, cake! We stayed in the farm lodges for a couple of nights and the cafe is the best part of this farm for us - Charlie, the manager and the staff are all amazing. Thank you, Charlie for such a warm welcome. Thank you for all the cuddles you gave our dog - also a Charlie :)”

“Lovely little kiosk cafe situated in a quiet corner of a peaceful memorial park. Food was very enjoyable and at very competitive prices. Although card payments are accepted, we personally used cash as this is a small business and card fees can be costly to them. Thank you and see you again soon.”

“Our first visit here last night and was a delicious meal. Started with the Thai chicken wings which were in an amazing sauce and then had the chicken pad Thai which was delicious in a slightly sweet sauce. Also great they sell Chang beer.”

“Excellent cappuccino and bri and bacon toastie to revive one visiting the museums. Friendly and efficient staff”

“The best afternoon high tea in Romsey! Miss Moody’s made a birthday celebration extra special with great good and amazing service in a fascinating setting. The tea pots were quickly refilled and the food was delicious, including the gluten free! Thank you!”

“Absolutely fantastic stay, accommodation is fantastic the food is out of the world and the staff especially Sarah, Jess and Megane behind the bar and in the reateraumt are fantastic. I will definitely return. And highly reccomend to all. Well done guys!”

“Wow, wow ,wow, the food is amazing, good friendly staff, nice setting.”

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at The Old House at Home in Romsey, and it was an experience to remember! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm smiles and a cozy, inviting atmosphere. The rustic charm of the place, combined with its modern touches, made for a perfect setting. The menu offered a delightful array of dishes, each more tempting than the last. I opted for the roast lamb, which was cooked to perfection – tender, flavourful, and accompanied by the most delicious gravy. My partner chose the fish and chips, and it was hands down the best we’ve ever had. The portions were generous, and the presentation was top-notch. What truly set this place apart, though, was the exceptional service. The staff were attentive, friendly, and went out of their way to ensure we had everything we needed. They even took the time to chat with us about the history of the pub, which added a lovely personal touch to our visit. To top it all off, the dessert menu was a dream. We shared a sticky toffee pudding that was simply divine – the perfect end to a fantastic meal. If you’re in Romsey and looking for a place with great food, wonderful service, and a charming atmosphere, look no further than The Old House at Home. We’ll definitely be back!”

“Here last night for a team meal and had such a great experience. The service was excellent from start to finish — the staff were so friendly and welcoming, which really made the evening. The atmosphere was relaxed and cosy, perfect for catching up with everyone. Food and drinks came out promptly, and it felt like nothing was too much trouble. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a pub with genuine hospitality and a lovely vibe. We’ll be back!”

“As is typical of Greggs, their food was freshly prepared and delicious.”

“Came in with a group for Christmas very nice vibes. Nice traditional pub. Great service. Good that there are still proper pubs. Around”

“Wow!! What a wonderful lunch we had. Beautiful setting, excellent service and exceptional food, what more could you ask for ! I have no hesitation in recommending this restaurant.”

“Had table for 10 last night for our mum's surprise 80th birthday. No pre order was required so everyone could choose on the night. Choice of normal or some Xmas options. The service was second to none. All drinks brought to table. Sean who looked after us was absolutely fantastic, a joy to have serving us. Made for a fun night and stepped in to take photos of the family. All the food was brought out in a good time, all hot, nothing was forgotten. Clearing service also seamless so a shout out to the young lady who was serving and clearing dishes. We all agreed it was a wonderful evening, lovely clean setting and I'd recommend to anyone. Thank you all at the white rabbit for making mum's 80th special.”

“The Empress of Blandings Pub & Restaurant is a fantastic spot that strikes a great balance between a classic pub and a quality restaurant. The menu offers a wide and varied selection, with something to please everyone, and the portion sizes are very generous-come hungry! The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, perfect for a relaxed meal. Don’t skip the puddings-they’re absolutely delicious and a real highlight of the experience. A great place for hearty food and a cozy vibe.”

“What a lovely little coffee shop. Coffee exactly how I like it…plus fabulous selection of homemade cakes…I had an almond jam slice thing that was mouth-wateringly good. 100% recommended.”

“Stated the night before popping over to the Isle of Wight Music Festival. We were given the pitch the day before so were able to park and set up immediately. Friendly and well appointed facilities. Thank you.”

“A lovely traditional English pub. Friendly and welcoming staff, spotlessly clean, clean toilets, lovely and cozy outdoor seating area with cover. Mature and friendly clientele. Highly recommend a visit. My wife and I have already decided that this pub will be our "go to" pub next time we are in Romsey.”

“Had a sunday roast here....what a great roast dinner it was....a trio of meats cooked too perfection. My wife and daughter had had the roast chicken and none of us finished there was so much. Great staff very attentive. If you want great food at a great price go here!”

“Had a very enjoyable meal for Mothers Day. My Mum's seafood platter looked incredible. The waitress was very helpful and informative, especially in regard to my Mother-in-Law's gluten allergy. We had a very cozy table tucked away from the main restaurant. A very nice night all round.”

“Had a really nice brunch here on our day off. First visit and it was very nice. Fresh, nicely presented food, and friendly staff. Decor was lovely aswell.”

“Come here every week for breakfast, and always bring my children in the holidays as they love it too. £11 for an all you can eat breakfast is so worth it and the food is lush. The staff are lovely and so welcoming :)”
