"We have been regular visitors to this pub for years and sorry to say things have gone downhill recently. Only one real ale bitter available today apart from a dark winter ale which was not to our taste. The menu has been well and truly shortened, no baguettes or ciabattas, no omelettes and the main courses are more expensive. I realise prices have gone up, I only have to look at my weekly shopping bill to see this. But here prices have gone up but quality of meals has gone down. So sad we used to love this pub but it seems like no one cares any more about the quality of the food and real ales."

stopped here with a group of friends for mid week lunch. Pub quiet but friendly staff and extensive menu. Popular was the fish pie. Reasonably priced and good portions. Range of coffees and beers. Clean toilets. Parking.

What an amazing New Years Eve, fantastic atmosphere, cold Buffett had a brilliant choice and was lovely, really enjoyed the profiteroles. Entertainment was excellent with everyone up dancing. It was fancy dress and everyone made the effort, Thankyou for a great night

Prefer this pub to many on the area, great welcome, courteous staff, good beer and food. I'm a regular lunchtime visitor and the barman takes pride in the beers. Want a taster of guest beers before purchase, no problem. He is also is a bit of a joker ! I always leave with a smile on my face.

"hursley needed a decent pub for the years, I found that the competition was a alienating atmosphere and the quality of the food was bad. since hearing the dolphin had new owners I felt that I had to test it, and I must say I am 100% impressed! and I am. said the pub will also be restored in the next months! first I visited with my daughter for a dessert with just us. we were greeted in the pub and our table shown. everything was very clean and my daughter immediately fell in love with the old building and history. the menu included some good clips for children, as we all know that they are with what they eat! eating was amazing! such a high quality and quite expensive. it was made clear to the house and there was no part of it I did not enjoy. the same applies to my daughter who cleaned her teller, and this is rare for her! ben, the manager was warm and friendly and checked for us, but was not intrusive. that can be difficult so I was impressed! the employees were so friendly and very interacting when they spoke to us, they went extra mile to take allergies too. If I were not a native, I would rent one of the rooms they have so that I could eat and drink with a short stolper to bed! if they were not, then they do not wait, the new owners also have the hunters and this is another amazing pub, so it is great to see that they know what they do and use local products and keep the community feeling of the village alive. I would have made more photos of the food, but it was too good to wait for photos! I'll take more when I'm next!"
