Eating out near East Meon in Hampshire

RED_LION_LADY

We have some friend coming to visit from Australia in May and they are staying in a farmhouse in East Meon, Hampshire. Can anyone recommend a good place to eat around this area of Hampshire? We would like to show them a good old English type of Pub with good food if possible. Thanks for any help.:beer:

The George in East Meon was always good, or try the Bat and Ball just 5 mins awayin Hambledon PO8 0UB its the home of cricket something Australians may like

Didn't get a very Good Review in The News! And bizarrely it is no longer on their website, or I would have pasted a link

What counts more? Some one who actually eats there...or a local paper who probably didn't get a freebie...lol (guess what? I don't think very much of the News' opinion on anything..he he)

seriously though, we have eaten there quite a few times lately. (And have been visiting on and off for over 20 years)

Mon-Fri you can get a free dessert with a main so £6.95, and they have quite a choice.

And good beers as well. Gets my vote, but only an opinion.

I haven't been there for a while, but also consider the White Horse in a field in the middle of nowhere near Priors Dean, and more often known as http://www.pubwithnoname.co.uk/
