The Empress Of Blandings

we had a chicken roast dinner/ a roast beef dinner/ and a chicken burger great as always

The restaurant has a charming and welcoming ambiance. The food is delicious and there is a great selection of drinks.

I had the belly pork, a favourite of mine when eating out. I've had it at least once before at the Empress of Blandings, and remembered that it was very good. It was very good again! The service was excellent too. Visualizza piatti

Disappointing that there were no roast dinners available and whilst the fish and chips I had were good my wife’s burger was almost inedible. Shame that the quality of food has diminished as we used to go to the Empress on a regular basis

Love the Restaurant and have used many times but we were disappointed with food this time. Two of us had burgers which were over cooked and tough to chew and £20 for a bottle of Rose?? A lot for a locals pub/restaurant. Still had nice evening x

We waited for over 45 minutes for our food to be brought to us, and during that time no one came to our table to take our drink orders or update us on the progress. The food itself was very bland, with the seasonal vegetables tasting just like microwaved frozen broccoli. However, the pub is beautifully decorated, making it a nice place to hang out and have a few drinks. Visualizza piatti

Had a perfectly nice time at the EOB. Staff were very nice and enthusiastic. Service overall was very good. We were met with unfortunately we 've been very busy and we 've run out of roasts . Not ideal but I suppose it was 4pm on a Sunday afternoon. So if you want a roast then get there early. Other than that the menu was fine and everyone in my party enjoyed their food. I would go there again.

This fantastic, spacious pub is located near the New Forest and offers a menu featuring locally sourced ingredients and a variety of options. Enjoy table service and delicious, home-cooked food typical of a gastro pub. There is a large car park conveniently located outside. This place is perfect for Sunday lunch, a romantic date night, or a family celebration. The staff is very friendly and provides excellent service.

We have visited Empress of Blandings on a number of occasions for lunch and always enjoyed the experience. Unfortunately this Sunday´s roast lunch was below their previous fare cold plates, luke warm and bland tasting food nothing to shout about and disappointing. It is a lovely traditional pub with a warm welcome and very convenient for the M27. I am sure this was just an off day for the Chef and normal service will be resumed. Visualizza piatti
