The Poacher Inn - Menu

Had a great time staying at the Poacher in. John the owner was incredibly welcoming, the room was comfortable, clean and the food was grand. Will for sure visit again.

Nipped in for a drink while passing through. This is a place we’ve known for years and has recently changed hands. We are very happy that it appears to be in good hands and we wish the new landlord all the very best

We had a great dining experience at The Poacher. The food was delicious and affordable. The atmosphere was lovely and meeting Pierre, who was friendly and knowledgeable, was a highlight. Thank you for taking care of us so well! We can't wait to come back next time we're in the area. Thank you!

We stopped in this pub on our way back from a road trip. We hadn’t booked a table but we’re lucky enough to find table in this pub. It was a very warm day and couldn’t sit in the garden. We finally dined inside the pub. I had schnitzel who was very delicious, also my portion was big. We stayed very satisfied from our supper. Definitely we will visit pub again if we will get around area.

I was amazed by the fantastic £10 January deal at this restaurant! The meal and drink were both great value. I enjoyed the vegetarian sausages with mash and peas, paired with a Chardonnay, while my husband had the fish and chips. The portions were huge and the food was excellent. We will definitely be returning. The ambiance, music, and decor were lovely, making it a worthwhile visit that brightened up a dreary January day.

We went as a treat for our grandson who was staying with us. We ordered roast beef for two and a children's burger.When our meals arrived we asked could we have some more gravy. Imagine our surprise whe we were billed extra for two small jugs of gravy. We were also told that we couldn't order more roast potatoes as they were expecting other bookings and didn't have enough for us to order any more! What sort of a pub hasn't got enough supplies. Needless to say we will not be back

Appearances can be deceptive the kerbside appeal isn't necessarily there but this little pub is nicely appointed inside and offers a great B&B service. The bar was well stocked; restaurant food was well presented and adapted for GF; bedrooms were comfortable and clean. The full English breakfast, although extra, was superb. There was live music when we were there but all finished at a reasonable hour and it was quiet overnight. In fact, the live music was superb and a real bonus. Highly recommend for an affordable, comfortable stay.

While driving through Alton, we stumbled upon the Poachers Inn and decided to stop for lunch. What a beautiful pub restaurant and hotel! The pub looked clean and inviting, and the food was absolutely delicious. We thoroughly enjoyed our lunch and found the staff to be very polite and accommodating. We are planning to return in the evening for dinner. I had a chat with the manager, who was also very polite and helpful, especially regarding the excellent and well-prepared menu. We will definitely recommend the Poacher Inn to our friends, as it was a truly enjoyable place to visit with delicious food.

Bad points first, Landlord seems friendly but likes to talk about himself a lot not Interested in you and breakfast was the big disappointment, I dare not ask for a teapot it's a great big mug or nothing, (PG TIPS Yuk everything overcooked bacon was streaky which is a pet hate. Rooms so small it's ridiculous and bathroom although small are modern and functional however I nearly killed myself on the slippery floors. No point in mentioning it they are moving soon by all accounts, Landlady much more in tune and professional asking how we slept and beds are comfortable. Food is good and a nice variety not the best quality but it is a pub grub.
