Poplar Farm - Test Valley

The venue and atmosphere of the restaurant were typical of a pub - relaxing and friendly. The staff was welcoming as well. However, the overall experience was overshadowed by the underwhelming food. As the restaurant is part of a pub chain, it was not surprising to see mass-produced dishes, but it was still disappointing. Due to this, I probably would not return.

We recently visited this restaurant for the second time and were once again served by Cathy, who was incredibly friendly and professional. She made our young children feel welcome and the rest of the team was also very accommodating. We enjoyed a delicious Sunday roast, with generous portion sizes. Special thanks to the chefs for the tasty meal. We are already looking forward to our next visit.

The restaurant had delicious food on Saturday night and the staff were incredibly friendly. I would definitely return and recommend it to anyone looking for a meal out with family, friends, or a significant other.

My husband and I popped in for an early dinner. I love the atmosphere in this place, they welcome dogs (and all including ours are well behaved and equally welcomed with water bowls! The Menu has some lovely choices, my husband had the Fish ..Chips which he said was lovely and I had the Pork Belly which was delicious. Staff are friendly. You must order at the Bar for food and drink which wasn't a problem (large bar area). The Pizza here is also very good! Although the Pub (I think) is part of a large chain it is not the normal deep fried/beige' food that is normally served in those places, the food here is well presented and delicious. Only one small point I would use better napkins :

Celebrating partners birthday, absolutely gorgeous food; very well presented and served in good time. Sadly there were no starters available that we wanted but we did have a yummy sticky toffee pudding! We recommended this restaurant especially the pork and burgers! Reasonably priced.
