The Black Dog

Gorgeous little pub inside and out. So well placed in the country side and right near the Meon Valley, Marriott Hotel. It has a very family-friendly warm feel to it, with open log fires, a heated beer garden, and lots of comfortable seating. I loved the large, old picture frames décor with empty bottles of pricy champagne and whisky filling the window sills. This is definitely the kind of pub I could spend a whole Sunday afternoon in, sampling the merchandise...

They do food up until 9pm, and certain things are *extremely* reasonably priced. f you get a basket meal, you get a choice of Scampi, Southern Friend Chicken Strips, Cheeseburger, Sausages, or Tempura Battered Vegetables (all served with chips) for £4.95! And on every day of the week you can get a specific dish for a fiver as well, ranging from Fish and Chips to Lasagna and Risotto. The cheeseburger tasted a bit microwaved, unfortunately but the chips were solid and service was quick.

Clientele ranges from those these for a couple pints and the footie to groups of 20 year olds taking advantage of the cheap food and drinks. Will definitely be back, but won't be getting that cheeseburger.

Lovely Pub, always booked out for lunch on a sunday and evening meals at the weekend.


Inside is very much like your typical english country pub.


There is a lovely beer garden which is great to sit out in during the summer months.


The food is fantastic, all homemade (i wouldn't advise going for three courses though as the portions are huge!)


I can highly recommend the chocolate brownie!


We had my brothers birthday here in May, they gave us one big table and our own area so we didn't upset any other diners, the service was fantastic and the food as always brilliant!


They are currently doing £5 lunch monday-saturday!

Not to nice as you walk in but when the food comes out it changes everything. The food has so much flavour it's unbelievable and is well priced. The staff are also friendly. Overall a good experience.
