Best Pubs in St Mary Bourne

Excellent starter and main courses. Good variety on the menu, including interesting vegetarian options. Good quality food that’s skilfully cooked. Staff friendly and attentive. Separately dining area is set apart from the bar area and it would be nice to feel a bit closer to the cheer and warmth of an open fire in the depth of winter.

As always food was hot, fresh, tasty and very enjoyable. Friendly, prompt & polite service . Great menu choices and ambience . Is becoming our regular go to!

I have visited The Butt Inn many times. As always, we received a warm and friendly welcome. We were shown to our table and the menus produced immediately. My friend ordered the tart and the soup for me as a starter. Followed by Shepherds pie and fish and chips. All were excellent. Our meal was served with a smile as always. I would highly recommend this pub, not only for the service and food, but for the warm welcome that I have always received there.

Booked a table for New Year’s Day with husband. I’m a lover of good food. Not fancy food, just good food. The service was prompt and friendly. The food was exceptional. The cook knows how to cook. I had just a simple fish and chips. This is a funny dish, sounds so basic yet easy to get wrong. The batter was light and crispy, the fish was fleshly and fresh tasting. The chips were skin on and perfect. Husband had a char grilled burger which he really liked. I highly recommend a visit. My only wish was that one of the fires had been lit but that is asking too much of staff on New Years Day. Maybe next time.

What a lovely place for a Sunday dinner. We were driving through to London and found this charming pub with a booking available for 8. They were very accommodating and welcomed us even at their last seating of the night. The food was fantastic, and service was superb.
