The Best Burger I have had in years! Two generous beef patties with melted applewood cheese - and finally, a chef who gets CRISPY bacon! My son had a halloumi burger which looked equally good. Great service and friendly landlord. We’ll be back.

Stayed two nights here in a garden suite room. Absolutely loved the included breakfast. The food here is fantastic. Made a reservation for dinner the one night and had a lovely time. The staff is friendly and attentive. I will be recommending this place to anyone heading to the Test River Valley.

Had lunch at the Watership Down yesterday 13th January, the exsperiance didn't start well and unfortunately it didn't get any better. First question to the guy waiting the tables what is the soup of the day he had to go and ask second …

We a had Sunday lunch here, and were left disappointed. Firstly we were hanging around for 10 minutes before being seated despite the place being empty and staff walking past us. One roast was luke warm, another came out without veg, portion sizes in general are quite small for the price. The service charge was included which normally i wouldn't mind, but all we recieved was basically someone taking an order and then putting the food in front of us, which is fine, but for the price of food, portion size and quality i would expect a bit more for the extra charge. The one good bit of service was the member of staff who kindly said she would sort out getting the end of a bit of bread for us for our baby to chew, however when the bill came we had been charged full price for the 'Selection of Artisan Breads with balsamic, olive oil & smoked sea salt' despite recieving two small pieces of bread ends with no accompaniment.

Arrived and informed the very unwelcoming lady behind the bar that we had 2 rooms booked for the night and explained we were early and we’re hoping to get some lunch before we visited the Gin Distillery near by. She said that there were no tables available and a party of 13 were due any minute. We got some drinks and stood at the end of the bar. I then asked if she could do us a couple of bowls of chips to keep us going, this was also turned down so we ended up with some crisps. After an hour the party of 13 had still not arrived? Our check in was delayed as the rooms were not ready. Luckily we had a table reserved for the evening after our tour, the food was nice but the service was very rushed and we were made to feel unwelcome as all the staff were stood at the bar just watching us as if to say go home. Would not recommend!!!!

Met a friend here for Sunday lunch. Easy booking system and lovely touches in the decor. Loved the hare/rabbit on the outside wall and touches throughout the pub. Lovely big garden if the weather is good. Menu is small, 3-4 starters, roast lamb or beef, salad, fish but the food was absolutely delicious. Excellent service from Livy too. £21 for a roast I agree on higher side but when you enjoy every mouthful it's worth it. Highly recommend.

USED to be so nice, food is now very basic… had an £18 salad that looked like it had been shaken in an ice cream tub. The pub used to be so well maintained, it’s becoming rather tatty. Such a shame, this used to be such a nice pub!

Excellent location, lovely pub but menu a bit limited. I think it has recently been taken over by a new owner so to be fair it is early days. There were twelve of us and we were all satisfied with our meal. The portions were generous and well cooked. There is a very large garden with plenty of outside dining. Helpful staff, we liked it.
