  “Our first time here since the new management took it over and we were very impressed! The inside has been given a nice facelift and there is also now a lovely large yurt in the garden offering additional space. I loved the vibe in the yurt, would love to come back if they’re holding some kind of event out there! We ate in the main restaurant and had Sunday roast. Good portion sizes and delicious food. My husband is GF and we were very impressed at their approach to this. They make most things GF as a standard meaning there was lots of flexibility of choice! Lots of things my husband usually has to miss out on like gravy, Yorkshire puddings, sausages and batter but here they were all GF. Kids menu was a little limited but still very good. Great service from our very enthusiastic and friendly server, Chloe, but the whole team was very attentive. Overall a really good experience and we’re now looking forward to returning again soon!”

  “I cannot thank the team at The Hunters Inn enough for the experience that we had for our first time here. We were looked after consistently by Harry and his team. Not only was the customer service top notch, but the food was close to perfection. I highly recommend the starters, and with a wide (but sensible) range of choices, there is something for everyone. I personally had the classic fish and chips, which was ale battered with chips and the best mushy peas I have ever tasted. I will be coming back just for a plate of those alone. The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, with a mixture of dimly lit and lighter decor throughout the interiors. The amount of space is incredible, and I was impressed very much so by the tipi style tent outside, which hosted football at the time. What a wonderful experience. We cannot wait to return. Thank you again!”

  “Went with friends for dinner & drinks on Saturday night. The menu is impressive; it has a very pleasing range of options without being overwhelming, and even some amusing names on it! The pigeon (a small plate) was gamey and excellent. I had the Hunters Chicken which featured a very juicy chicken breast and glorious thick-cur chips. The pannacotta was a deliciously moreish dessert. The staff were all lovely, and Harry made us very welcome. If I didn't live several hours away I would be here all the time.”

  “I hosted a baby shower at The Hunters and honestly couldn’t have asked for a better day! Everything was incredible from start to finish. The food was absolutely insane — huge compliments to the chef, every single thing was delicious! 🤍 Chloe was amazing and so helpful throughout, nothing was ever too much trouble and she was so friendly and welcoming. Tilly was also so, so lovely and went above and beyond to help make everything perfect for me. Thank you all so much for making the baby shower so special! I couldn’t recommend The Hunters enough!”

  “Amazing roast the staff were brilliant too. We had lunch in the teepee and because we booked had waiter service. Three of us had the small roast and one had the normal. They also do a platter between 2. Dessert was a raspberry creme brullee and sticky toffee pudding. Thank you to all the staff.”

  “Booked a Sunday roast for 1:15pm. After waiting an hour for our food to arrive, I asked the staff if it would be much longer and I was told it would be 20 minutes longer, and was given a free drink. By the time our food arrived, it had been TWO HOURS. In retrospect, we were far too patient, but we only stayed because we’d travelled a fair distance and didn't want to find somewhere else! When it finally arrived, we couldn't even eat it. We specifically booked this pub because they assured me over the phone that they cater safely to dietary restrictions (my girlfriend has coeliac disease). However, they placed normal, non-gluten-free Yorkshire puddings directly on our shared platter, cross-contaminating the entire meal. Thankfully, she hadn't taken a bite yet. If I hadn't double checked with the waitress when the food arrived that it was definitely gluten-free (as we were told it would be), then she would have gotten really ill because of this. They offered to make a fresh platter, but after waiting two hours, we told them not to bother and left without eating. By the time we walked out, the shops in Romsey were about to close as it was nearing 4pm - ruining our plans to look around the town and spoiling our whole day - and we hadn't eaten yet. Appalling service and poor allergen management. We will not return.”

  “Amazing meal at the Hunters, as to be expected after multiple visits in the last year. Very accommodating to a group of seven for a birthday with the food being hot and delicious when served (three pies, two fish and chips and one lamb). A special shout out to Chloe, who was the perfect server. She was incredibly polite and friendly, as well as extremely helpful. An issue with the kitchen staff meant that the desserts we'd ordered wouldn't be available. However, not long layer Chloe came back having made them herself for the table. Going above and beyond on top of her already fantastic serving made everyone at the table feel valued. Thank you Chloe!”

  “Well what can I say, absolutely perfect service and amazing food from the newly refurbished Hunter Inn! The pub in its old form with the previous owners was stuck in the past and very dated. The new owners have given it a fantastic new face and really warm and welcoming feel. I went this evening with my family and we were greeted by one of the owners and shown to our table really quickly and really politely. My daughter has a nasty food allergy and they were so accommodating of this and did all they could to make sure it was clear what items were suitable or they could adapt! The food was amazing, really tasty and really good portions. It was clear that The Hunters has stuck to their word on the menu and used local, good quality food! There was a short wait for the food, but long enough it was clearly cooked fresh and not a microwave surprise. My daughter and her allergy was well catered for as stated and she absolutely loved her food and the decor (we played eye spy!) The price was very good for the quality of the food we had. Yes other chain pubs might be cheaper but that's because it's all frozen junk with no effort. All the food we had was clearly fresh and the cooks definitely put the effort in and gave us a great meal. We did note that along with looking after our allergy needs they had lots of vegetarian, vegan and gluten free options. The Hunters has a great atmosphere, great refurbishment and its clear the owners are really looking to be part of the community and not just another chain drinking hole. ABSOLUTELY RECOMMENDED!”
