Rockingham Arms - Test Valley

Family and I are locals and often walk down to the rock. We went for lunch yesterday which was disappointingly average. The burger and chips were bland, and the portion size small; a simple garnish to brighten up the plate would have been nice. I had hoped to give the feeedback in person, but we weren’t asked how our food was when the plates were cleared. The food doesn’t quite match the ambience of the pub which is a shame. To end on a positive the staff are really friendly and presentable. We’ll be sticking to just drinks for a while.

Lovely country pub with tasteful decor and clean facilities. Pleasant and efficient front-of-house staff. The set price lunch (2 courses £19, 3 courses £24) was such good value for an impressive, well-presented and tasty menu. The portions were so generous, not like the smaller versions normally offered for set menus elsewhere. What a refreshing change from being ripped off at other eateries. I had Beetroot Gnocchi with asparagus, pine nuts, roasted tomatoes etc, fantastic battered fish and home-cooked triple chips etc and the most delicious Strawberry Cheesecake with meringue, Strawberry jelly and gorgeous Strawberry ice cream. My partner had Asian Soup followed by Steak Mushroom Pie with garlic mash, roasted carrots and spring greens. Based on this meal, we will definitely be visiting again!

Found this place on the last day of our holiday, wish we had found it sooner. Excellent in every way, food, service the whole experience

Very good gluten-free fish and chips followed by chocolate brownie and ice cream, well worth the visit

Lovely staff and brilliant service. Nice and relaxing atmosphere. Came for Sunday roast, lovely meal except that the vegetables was a little bit hard to chew. Will come again
