Hey Need to book a mother's day restaurant somewhere 1/2 between Bournemouth and Watford, so roughly Winchester. Any recommendations? Ideally a nice country pub. Cheers
Chesil Rectory - in town pricy Clos de Marquis - out of town pricy Les Mirabelles - prob too near bmth
The Three Tuns in the New Foresr does very good food and is a nice old pub (you probably know it) maybe too near to Bournemouth though?
But walking distance from my house The Rockingham Arms in West Wellow is very nice or the Globe in Alresford
If you like Spanish food, I can highly recommend El Sabio in Winchester. Not an extensive menu but what they do is very true to Spain. They do one of the best paellas I have had outside of the length of the eastern coast from Barcelona to Jerez. Andy
Have a look at The Rising Sun, Winchester The Rising Sun | Facebook About 10 minutes off the M3 in Colden Common, near Winchester. the Rising Sun is a nice country pub in a small village. Owned by some very good friends of mine, my wife helps to run it and I am quite often there over the weekend behind the bar. Website has food menu, however there are also daily specials, Sunday roasts and there will be a special Mothers Day menu. All food is prepared and cooked fresh - no microwave ping food or bags of frozen veg! We have been getting some really good reviews on TripAdviser, couple of dickheads on there but not much we can do about them!
Main thing i have to look for is the wife can't (not won't) eat wheat or dairy. Which normally means she gets a plain chicken salad. So finding a restaurant is tricky as loads cook with butter. etc.
Thanks all. Ended up booking this. If it's rubbish please don't tell me The Mayfly Pub | Pub & Restaurant Nr. Stockbridge, Hampshire
