The Poacher Inn

Came in for a weekday dinner, and cannot fault it. Rory and Lola had amazing customer service, from serving our food/ drinks to discussing the possibilities for some more dart boards! We've lived in South Warnborough for over a year and this is the first time we've come in and felt truly welcome, the food and service were excellent. Will definitely be coming back & recommending to our friends and family. Code word: 'Steak'

Visited for a family meal. The staff were friendly and welcoming. Good choice of food on the menu. Daughter and son in law had homemade pies, husband had sausage and mash, and I had steak med/rare, cooked perfectly. All of the meals looked and tasted amazing. The chef came out to check that we were enjoying our food and after our meal for a chat (don't get that very often these days). Can't wait to come back.

Not brilliant. Bit disappointing. Emailed the property requesting a table the day before upon booking. Didn't get an answer and told we would have to eat in the bar which on itself wasn't the end of the world. Then told there would be no breakfasts. Just after finishing the main we asked for dessert and told too late. It would take seconds to put a slice of crumble in a dish. Especially as the chef was still there. The milk in the room was three weeks out date. The food we did have was quite nice. But all in all the hospitality left a lot to be desired.

My wife & I were treated to an overnight stay, that included evening meals, drinks and breakfast by our kids. The room and facilities were really nice and cosy and the evening meal was wonderful. The staff were friendly & attentive and provided first class service. We had a good night's sleep and was greeted to a lovely full English breakfast. If you're in the area and are looking for a nice place to rest your head, or just have a meal or drink, this is well worth trying. Highly recommended.

Visited the poachers for a family meal , excellent staff very friendly and professional , offered great recommendations off the menu and cared about guest feedback , got us sat down with drinks and food ordered in a timely manner Definitely be visiting again

We were a large pre-booked/ordered group for Sunday lunch - and had been given the choice of only beef or chicken. We were asked to buy our drinks @ the bar before going to our tables. Food came out quite quickly - apart from the vegetarian option which arrived 15 minutes later. For £17.50 I had one slice of beef the size of my palm, plus veg's (missing the peas) and a Yorkshire. Plates were cleared and then ... nothing! A group member went and asked for a dessert menu; there were x4 options, x3 of which came with vanilla ice-cream "but we haven't any vanilla ice-cream". Then she went to ask them to come and take tea & coffee orders, "sorry the coffee machine is broken". "And by the way the Ladies toilet is out of order." I asked them to remove the 10% service charge. Such a disappointment.
