The Jolly Farmer - East Hampshire

My husband and myself came for lunch on a Friday in August whilst on holiday in the local area. Large pub with gardens near a fairly busy road. Much quieter than expected and we had a good choice of seats in the garden in the sunshine. Was served drinks quickly at the bar by a helpful staff member. Given menus and ordered food. Food came out quickly and was very hot. I had a veggie burger my husband fish chips. Tasted great! Definitely no complaints from us. Would recommend.

Popped in for lunch with some friends and was greeted with a really charming chap who looked after us throughout our stay. Opting for sandwiches and a couple of pints. We never had to leave our table, didn’t ask for the lads name but claimed to be fairly new to the area and the pub, upon asking him for some local directions but he certainly made our lunch chilled and his knowledge of the pub was perfect offering recommendations off the menu and for drinks. Will come back for a proper meal soon!

Really nice food and a large, gorgeous beer garden, which is perfect on a hot day. Nice decor inside (love all the books! but the ladies loos need a little attention (a broken door latch, a broken loo roll dispenser . There's hand cream, though (always a nice touch !

Expensive for poor quality food. Beef sandwich stated to be aged beef. Beef grey and like plastic 3 sandwiches plus one scampi and two cokes £65 outrageous

Chose this pub due to its proximity to Alice holt forest, not being local I had no idea what to expect. It was an absolute delight. The food was delicious, fresh, piping hot and served quickly. All the staff were super helpful and pleasant. Atmosphere was great and I would highly recommend.
