The Deer's Hut - Menu

Excellent food with great service, not the cheapest and very busy on a Friday lunch time. On the whole I would say a venue to visit again. I had the fish and chips which was good quality and very well cooked, portion size good.

Popped in for a pint and bite to eat before checking into nearby hotel and even though they were extremely busy and fully booked were more than happy to accommodate us very friendly, helpful and tasty food, we will be back if go back to hotel

Very refreshing to find a great pub taking food seriously. Perfect trout gravadlax followed by pork belly with dauphenoise cooked exactly as it should be. Excellent service and an outstanding wine list. Our first visit but we will return. Highly recommended.

I reserved a table for 12 people for my father's birthday. The staff at the restaurant took the time to decorate the table and make it special. They were friendly and interacted well with our two five-year-olds. They made our children feel important and really made their day. The food was fantastic - I enjoyed my roast, and the girls loved their fish and chips with crispy batter and melt-in-your-mouth fish. Thank you to the staff for making it a memorable dining experience.

I visited for dinner with my partner and we thoroughly enjoyed our evening. The pub had a lovely atmosphere and was lovely and cosy with the fires burning. We had the burger two for one offer, sharing the chicken and halloumi burgers. Both were delicious and we were stuffed afterwards. The staff were friendly and polite and very professional despite the pub being busy. They were attentive without making us feel rushed. A very enjoyable evening and we will be back. I've already suggested a Sunday roast there to a group of friends.

We had a wonderful dinner at this restaurant on a Saturday night. We started with the pork salad, then enjoyed our fish and chips and a special venison dish for our main courses. We ended our meal with a cheese board, and all of the food tasted fresh and locally sourced. The only downside was the service towards the end of our meal. A birthday party and a hen do arrived for their bookings, causing all the staff to be busy on the other side of the restaurant. We had to wait a while for our empty plates to be cleared. Overall, a great meal but service could have been better.

We were staying for the evening at the Old Thorns Resort (a 8 minute walk away) and due to lack of availability at their main restaurant the noisy (bordering tumultuous) vibe at their Sports bar, my partner and I decided to dine elsewhere yesterday evening. A quick check on TA directed me to the Deers Hut. On arrival, we found the Inn/pub to be quiet, relaxing and intimately, dimly lit. Whilst they were probably around 85% full, they accommodated us very quickly. We enjoyed the baked Camembert sharer which was delicious then mains of Pheasant Schnizel Hampshire Ham eggs; both very large servings which neither of us finished. Ultimately, whilst we enjoyed the food and wine; it was the atmosph...

Well, it looks nice: characterful, nice ambience, cosy(ish . Nice looking menu with specials. So far so good. However this attractiveness didn't extend to the food. Now this is all very subjective but the starters (3 were OK in the main but my terrine was coarse and lacked flavour. Couldn't detect the black pudding that was supposedly part of it. Mains not much better. Wife's chicken burger was fine but the venison shank was odd. Plenty of meat but the brocolli was underdone and the inclusion of a cassoulet was a mistake: it could have done with some dauphinois potatoes or even a mash. Puddings a profound disappointment. My mille feuile was unlike any I'df ever tasted: stodgy and not layered...

I can't rate this place highly enough. I would like to thank the staff and management for a wonderful visit. We were seated in the room with the fireplace. I cannot tell you how much the nine of us enjoyed our afternoon in The Deers Hut. We were there to celebrate my 60th birthday. The staff were exceptional, nothing was too much bother, they continually checked to see if we needed more drinks. They were helpful and happy at all times, even though we could see they were having a very busy afternoon. The food was absolutely fantastic, all nine of us didn't have a bad word to say about anything. The specials were really special, our vegetarian guests were delighted with what was on offer to th...
