  “Love coming here again since Adam became manager! What a lovely bunch of staff, delicious food and drinks, and a very cozy atmosphere- really brilliant to have our local back to being a fab place to come, for a coffee and cake as a family or for an evening out. 100% would recommend!”

  “We went for an early dinner before the England match and to see the refurb. We thought it all was reassuringly familiar but refreshed and stylish. Megan took excellent care of us and found us a table in a comfortable spot with a lovely through breeze because of the heat, and took good care of us. Both the drinks and food came promptly and a bowl of water for the dog. Due to the heat, I had a small caesar salad and the signature chicken and it was enough, and my partner had the salt and vinegar battered fish and chips. More batter than fish in this case, but we went away happy and well looked after.”

  “I really enjoyed my visit. Prawn cocktail sandwich with chips and a pint. The staff were the best I’ve had in any pub, cheerful and accommodating. Highly recommend.”

  “Visiting the area yesterday and stopped by around 5pm for some dinner . It was a warm sunny evening and the beer garden is fantastic. It was clear that they were short staffed as most of the tables had not been cleared . Anyway, I went inside to get 2 beers , there was one girl behind the bar on her own , she was polite, however as she was on her own there was a massive que , which is fine , however, another girl called libby appeared and then shouted at the customers that they could not stand or que by the doors as it was a fire exit , her manner was aggressive and extremely rude , the whole bar area went quiet and awkward , a suggestion is if you don’t have enough staff don’t shout at your customers because of where they are queuing , that is your problem and not ours , of you had more staff on then it wouldn’t have been an issue . I then overheard her talking to I assume a regular custom that another girl was late for work and had not shown up . Again not our problem , these people were here for a nice evening and we were shouted at like naughty children , we had a look at the menu and the children’s menu is more appealing than the main menu , poor selection . Drank our drink that we waited 29 mins for and left . We won’t be back.”

  “Spent a lovely afternoon in the new outdoor area — it’s a really nice space to relax and enjoy the atmosphere. They’ve got a £20 two-pizza special, which is great value. The selection of pizzas is quite small, but what they do offer is really good and well made. Overall, a great experience and I’ll definitely be coming back again, especially on a Friday for a chilled out visit.”

  “It is a beautiful pub with De Havilland memorabilia. We stopped in for a drink. It is dog friendly and there were quite a few families in the garden. Loos were clean.”

  “Whilst saying at the nearby Elvetham Hotel we discovered this charming pub with excellent food, sensational service & some unique beers including several great pale ales & superb stout! Bar manager “Big Ben” is one of the friendliest & most helpful people we’ve met, offering us multiple different beer tastings to help us find our favourite.”

  “We decided to try De Havilland Arms after passing by a few times and being curious about it. We visited in the mid-afternoon, and it was fairly empty, which we thought was fine. The bar staff were friendly and helpful, so that was a positive start. However, the food was disappointing. After a 20-minute wait, the Double Stacked Beef Burger I ordered wasn't worth the £14.75 price tag. The bun was dry and slightly hard, the burgers were overcooked, and the filling was minimal. For that price, I expected much better quality. While the service was good, the food quality just didn’t match up. I gave it a try, but unfortunately, I don't see myself returning anytime soon.”
