The boys from the BNO club ventured into Newnham Green on a Wednesday evening in September on our monthly, 18-year quest to discover the very best pubs in the Home Counties. By the end of the evening the four of us concluded that we'd found one here. The Old House is accessible from London (not that far from the M3, Hook turnoff) but nestled into the peaceful Hampshire countryside. The pub has been recently refurbished with great sympathy; the historic character remaining intact. The staff are quite lovely and efficient. There is a good choice of ales... the fine local Gold Muddler bitter (3.9%) is a very reasonable £3.80 a pint. Wednesday is STEAK NIGHT, so the compact restaurant area was quite full â it is essential to book. We began with an excellent gravlax starter (£5.50). Our large, medium-rare, tender Chargrilled Sirloin steaks were perfectly prepared with a pepper sauce drizzle, accompanied by a Portabella mushroom, chips and salad... sensational! And, incredibly, they're priced at £12.50! Nick the veggie was very happy with his excellent Plaice and chips. At £23 a head for two courses with drinks, this was great value for a well-prepared gourmet dinner in great surroundings. One of the best! Thoroughly recommended.

The restaurants surrounding this one was busy so we decided on Coal, we were pleasantly surprised! Good customer service, speedy service, warming and cosy atmosphere. Good food! Vegan options were nice, however I would say needed more flavour. Really comforting and filling but didnât leave thinking WOW, dishes need to be a bit more inventive.But perfect for coming with family and friends who arenât vegan, options for all :) I would come here again but it wouldnât be my first choice. But 10/10 customer service and speed indeed.Thank You for your review, our customer feedback is very important to us as we are constantly developing our menu with this in mind.

Reviewed By CaptainPicard_7
Has all the hallmarks of a place in terminal decline. Limited menu with only mains and puds. No starters. Food unremarkable: standard fayre done Ok but nothing more. Ambience zero, atmosphere the same. Prices cheaper than when it was in previous hands but now there's no reason to go out of your way to visit (which there was before) No real choice on beers. Average in every respect.

Another enjoyable lunch and we were very happy to be served by the wonderful Donna. I would point out that all the staff were friendly but Donna always stands out. She works so hard in a understaffed environment, in my opinion, but she keeps smiling and never stops. Look forward to our next visit.Hi andystedman69,Thank you for taking the time to review your recent visit to the Wheatsheaf, we are pleased to hear that you had an enjoyable lunch. I have passed your fantastic comments to the team and we look forward to seeing you again soon.Many thanksTasha Management Team

Two of us called in on the off-chance that they would have a table, and they did and we were seated quickly. We were served very quickly indeed with knowledgeable and pleasant waiters who advised us on what some of the dishes were and how spicy they were. Our food and drink arrived quickly despite there being a large party in the restaurant who were half way through their meal. The food was superb and probably one of the best Indian food establishments I have been to. Will definately be back.Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are so glad to hear that you enjoyed your Food. We look forward to serve you again.Thank you

We've eaten here in the past, and usually the food was good, but it did lose its touch a little and we've not been back for a a year or so. however this time we found the staff to be very Friendly, especially our waiter. Our roast diner was lovely, the beef was just the way we like it, slightly underdone and very tender. We would mostly certainly go back
