The Phoenix And Eatery - Test Valley

Great location the staff are very nice and they open up the sash windows when it’s sunny. But it is populated with very unfriendly locals so never again.

This is a pub we enjoy more and more they make the best omelette in town excellent service nice friendly bar staff. Today we tried something different The all day breakfast and sausage and mash excellent keep up the good work guys. Simon Ron

If you enjoy a great omelette try this they are superb four eggs and a variety of fillings. Also very good wine selection.

Went here for Sunday Lunch as was in Romsey but we couldn’t find anywhere open for Sunday lunch and we asked someone in the street and they recommended here. Greeted with a cheery hello how can we help. We were given a choice of tables . The menu was quite good besides the Sunday roast. Hubby had the chicken and had 2 large pieces of chicken breast. I had the nut roast. We had about 5 lovely crispy roast potatoes, parsnips, Yorkshire’s, green beans, carrots, cauliflower cheese and gravy which was all delicious and piping hot, couldn’t eat a pud. Great value. Lovely pub nice and bright inside. They had a garden but didn’t go out there. It’s on the high street and we’ll worth a visit. We will go again if in that area

We arrived at 7:30pm with our small, very well behaved Cavapoochon dog to watch our friend perform in a band that evening. There was a doorman on the door who welcomed us in at that time. At 9:15pm we took our dog outside to find some grass so she could go to the toilet. Whilst one of the doorman stroked and commented how adorable our dog was, we were most surprised when the other doorman said dogs aren’t not allowed in after 9pm, you can’t come back in and must leave (he was even reluctant to let us back in to retrieve our coats). The doorman even went to check with the manager who confirmed she could kit come back in. I had previously checked their website which says that the pub is dog friendly and there is no mention of the 9pm rule. I’m not sure what the management thinks happens to dogs at 9pm, our Cavapoochon is not a werewolf.
