Dandy's Ford Fishery Tea Room

On a chilly early spring day after buying onion sets and seed potatoes in this high quality family run garden centre we had an early lunch in their warm conservatory café: delicious soup, bread and particularly outstandingly yummy and large! cheese scones all home made. The cheese scones are by far the best in a 10 mile radius of Romsey! The garden centre is also known locally for the wide collection of high quality dahlia plants.

If your after a secluded single 6 birth lodge with hardly any other humans that also caters for the keen fisherman this is the place to go the lodge is built to a very high standard not surprised as it was built by the owner who was a builder for over 30 years its very spacious has massive by folding doors i didn't use them to be fair the kitchen and the bathrooms are great in a word its all great the owner john is a great fella alongside his wife who cant do enough for you nothing is a problem the fishing is fantastic my pb was 20lb carp and my mate gav caught a 15lb carp we where catching any where from 3lb to 12lb on a regular basis there is the odd angler that pops in for a bit fishing as it is open to the public but i wouldn't worry as you have 3 pegs that are exclusive to the lodge and there is another 3 on the left that can be used by others but no one does and they are great pegs no hassle go back to the lodge for a cuppa or a class of wine happy days will defo be back soon thanks so much Aidan and Gavin from Northumberland

We again visited Dandy's Ford, the tea rooms days are now limited but the quality is unchanged you couldn't ask for more}, the accommodation in the lodge is of an excellent quality, the surroundings are beautiful and the owners are fabulous, very friendly, and helpful, the fishing is fantastic, can't wait to return.

The cakes are excellent, coffee very average but the lack of a welcome from the staff has decided us that we will go to Gilbert's Garden Centre cafe just up the road in future. I am sorry to write this but just a good morning and a smile would make all the difference

Great venue , easy parking, very well kept with plenty of fish to be caught. Absolutely brilliant breakfast great value for a £5, very friendly staff
