I?m coeliac. Staff need training in knowing the basics about allergies.. this incudes the chef. I was told twice by staff that I could only have sorbet because the ice cream has milk in it! Why on earth would they confuse a dairy and gluten allergy. Spot the problem with the toilets! You need to be a giant to pull the chain! They were dirty and not well kept

Nice pub, I always drove past it, finally managed to go in. It was worth the time and money. Menu looked normal with a twist. Food was nice. The only minor issue was, that the back ground music was very loud. Service staff very friendly. Will definitely visit again.

Been going here for lunch weekly and tried various options . Food really good and coffee served hot, unlike other places. Decided to have a family do here and Ian Manager could not be more accommodating. Nothing too much bother. Definitely

I don?t normally write reviews for places but my visit to the House Martin this afternoon left me with no choice but to share the exceptional experience I had today.I had visited in the past and whilst the cosy yet open atmosphere inside and the spacious gardens outside made it the perfect place to grab a drink, the food was nothing to write home about.When I heard that the pub was under new management and now offers a completely refreshed menu, I decided to pay a visit for lunch on a day off work.?Pub food? doesn?t do their offerings justice! The meal I had today puts most restaurants to shame, who?d charge far more. No need to go to Bournemouth or Southampton when food of this quality is right on my doorstep.The halloumi fries for starters were the thickest I?ve ever seen. Should be called halloumi batons or something as the word fries completely undersells them.For mains I had the bacon and cheese burger with chunky chips. The burger was fantastic. Not too greasy, yet so thick and delicious. The coleslaw was evidently freshly made and a good portion too.And the chunky chips! Oh, the chunky chips! The best chunky chips I?ve tried, bar none. Perfectly cooked. Not too soft nor too hard. I usually go for sweet potato fries when available when I?m eating out as I?ve had too many cases of improperly cooked chunky chips. But these were perfect. Next time I?ll order another portion on the side. ?As I mentioned at the start of this review, the thing that made this the best pub in the area was the lovely cosy, yet open, atmosphere. The high ceilings and spacious floor plan create a space which stands in stark contrast to the dingy and claustrophobic feel of other local pubs.Staff are some the nicest bunch you?ll meet. Especially Ashley, who bent over backwards to make sure all my needs were met. He greets everyone with a warm smile and makes you feel like you?re at home away from home.The House Martin is undoubtedly not just a place to go for a drink anymore, but a destination for anybody looking for mouthwatering, hearty food in a delightful atmosphere. I know I?ll be coming back, again and again.

Live local and decided to try ' the local' for Sunday lunch , been a few years since last ate there , mainly as our previous visit the food wasn't very good. Our visit this time pretty much the same which is such a shame. Sunday roast - plates cold , food barely warm and flavourless lamb. Won't be visiting again , slow service too, not our table but could see other tables getting frustrated. We eat out twice a month at various pubs and some cracking food and service in the local area and around the new forest. Such a shame this one is a let down ?
