"The restaurant was a lovely setting, especially on a cold snowy night, with open fires providing a warm and inviting atmosphere. We were particularly drawn to this venue because of its vegan menu, which offers properly nutritious meals, rather than just meat or vegetarian options with the meat/dairy/eggs removed. Overall, we were satisfied with our meals, although disappointed that the advertised vegan dessert (pineapple and peach ravioli) was unavailable. The only alternative dessert offered was vegan ice cream or sorbet, which was not ideal on a snowy winter evening. One minor complaint was that the open fire in the restaurant had gone out completely, despite it being a quiet night with only a few tables occupied. Overall, a pleasant dining experience with room for improvement."

"The venue is nice in a lovely rural setting. The food is fine however overpriced. There was noting wrong with my steak and I have been four times as it is on my doorstep however after last weeks visit I would say it was average. This is such a shame as it could be so good. Take a visit to the Deers Hut in Liphook and compare the service. The staff can be polite but they are lacking in knowledge all round. Training is needed in areas of food knowledge and how to speak to customers. You cannot call everyone from a baby to an octogenarian Guys . Waiting staff should be able to tell you what you have and answer and questions. It can be okay and convenient if you live in Beacon Hill but they are missing a trick. In a nut shell the service and produce do not match the price tag."

"I’m pleased that this branch of Bel and the Dragon has re-opened after a short break. It’s always a worry in these plague-ridden times of Covid-19 and Boris Johnson as to whether the shutters will ever come up again. We revisited on a Sunday and immediately felt at home in the cosy slightly clubby atmosphere of a suite of small rooms with cartoons by the same artist on most walls. Upstairs are a few rooms forming part of a hotel. As it was Sunday the slightly pared-down menu centred on roasts including the whole chicken with potatoes cooked in goose-fat, sausages, carrots and a quarter of Yorkshire puddings. Quite a steal at £49. Perhaps the pigs in blankets if not the hummus and aubergine dips were unnecessary. We also struggled to finish our additional bowl of creamed cauliflower and cabbage. There’s a particularly good wine list but a pint of Amstel served just as well."

"Another beautifully situated Bel Dragon. We were given a large room, decor in the usual Bel Dragon style. It's a little tired and attention to minor but significant points would help guests. Bathroom steams up, as the window doesn't open and it appears the vent isn't extracting, and lightbulbs need replacing as only one works. Points on the water tap fall off, as does the large wardrobe door handle. Bedside lamps are plugged in with the help of an extender behind the bed, we had to move the bed to get to the extender to plug that in for lamps to work. The light in the recess above tea and coffee making only works if all the ceiling lights are on. ...no getting up and making a cuppa with covert lighting there then! Minor points, but important. Food drinks: We ate as a family of 6 adults in the restaurant. Staff were very good, friendly and efficient. Good choice of drinks and served well. It was agreed by all of us the meal was okay. The lamb dish only had 2 small pieces of lamb on it, the crab linguini good size portion, a little too oily and mouth burning hot through out, which suggested microwave involvement in preparation. The side of green beans came too long before the linguini and were just warm enough. Chicken Milanese although tender, the coating was cooked very dark and served without any sauce. The restaurant is popular, lovely buzz around the rooms."

"Just had the most lovely cider and met the most wonderful, helpful folks. My sister and I had a wonderful walk from Free Folk to Kingsclere exploring Watership Down and the wonderful staff at the bar saved us some walking and helped us find a ride back! Delightful place with amazing people! Hotel highlights: Great view, Quiet"

"This restaurant has deteriorated significantly since the new owners took over. The serving staff is lazy and clumsy, resulting in slow service. Requesting more bread took 15 minutes, causing the cooked Brie to turn hard. The shared steak was lukewarm and the triple cooked potatoes were hard. Despite being a longtime patron, I will not be returning after my recent disappointing experiences."

"Absolutely love this pub, we have just bought a lodge in the area and luckily found this gem. We eat here for Sunday lunch and cannot fault it. The food is cooked to perfection with a good selection of meat snd vegetables. The staff are all lovely and nothing to much trouble. I totally recommend this pub."
