  “Happened to be passing by and thought we would stop for lunch. No car meets on but an NSX and 944 added a bit of interest to the car park. The piped music was dreadful electronic noise that would on its own put us off ever returning. Saw a review by a single woman and my wife understood it - she would never come on her own. If I lived nearer I might come for a car meet but would not come just for food again. Would probably have been more enthusiastic if I were in my 20s or 30s”

  “Great drive out destination. Good turn over of cars so always something to look at. Staff are friendly and love the cars turning up. Everyone is really respectful of what the place is, so no anti social behaviour as they leave etc. ...and as a bonus, food was great too. Couldn't recommend this enough for car enthusiasts.”

  “Glorified car themed pub to hang out with your mates at. The worst value for money food I’ve ever seen. It’s not like it’s a gastronomical experience; it’s a glorified car pub on the side of the A272. Paid £21 for a burger half the size of my hand and and inch thick (including buns), to be paired by a serving with 35 chips. Outrageous.”

  “I wouldn’t normally leave a negative review. But my experience here was not great & if I can save others from the same, I will. I’ve driven past multiple times and always wanted to stop in, today I had the time to do so. …”

  “Service charge added - be aware. Lunch and drinks were very nice, served at the table which was a bonus. Wife went to the bar to pay and added a 10% tip, happy to do so although she thought it was a bit more than was expected. Only when we got home did we work it out only to find 10% had already been added before she added the tip. Don't remember seeing this displayed anywhere. Just something to remember in future.”

  “Met a mate here for a bite to eat and couldn't have been more impressed. I'm a biker and am more than familiar with Loomies over the road from this, but this is waaaaaaay nicer. Superb establishment, very clean, modern, decent choice of drinks and food (though we had a burger and dirty fries each, it was delicious but the portion could have been a little bit bigger, though I have a bit of a zesty appetite 🤣) Decent spread of merch as well, might pick some up next time I'm there. Good array of vehicles, though most of the fun stuff was with 4 wheels, highlights were a superb Renault Alpine, couple of proper Mustangs (no modern nonsense!) as well the usual smattering of AMGs and BMWs with rude boi 'zorsts, and some excellent stock retro hatchbacks. Will absolutely be back. Just watch out for the average speed cameras all round that area.”

  “For fear of sounding like an irrelevant old fart this used to be the more inclusive Old Meon pub that was more inclusive — the sort of place that survived on decent food, fair prices, and welcoming whoever walked through the door. Sadly, …”
