Rising Sun, Warsash

Came back here on Sun, 16th Sept 2012. It's a really great location, and the pub slots perfectly into a long walk or bike ride! Staff were cheerful and friendly.

Food is served all day, and we had a nice lunch here around 3pm - it was 'chain pub food' but very decent ... a tasty lamb shank, excellent steak, and a good burger. We asked for a variation to the side dishes (veg instead of chips) and the staff were happy to help.

Greene King ales are usually a bit lacklustre, but they did a very good job at keeping them and I rather enjoyed my GK IPA (possibly for the first time ever!).

Come to the seaside, and have a steak and a pint - it's a good place!

Bridge, Shawford

Went here on a glorious sunny Sat, 15 Sept 2012, for the first time. Although it is a 'food chain' pub, it is perfectly pleasant - a lovely building in nice settings, with a great garden.
My group popped in around midday to get some takeaway ciders to enjoy by the river - the staff were friendly and happy to assist us. Later, we came back this way and had a late lunch around 3pm... I can't vouch for busier times, but for us the food arrived after a sensible wait, and was delicious (gourmet steak burger - just do it!). They had a decent selection of ales on tap too.
I would make this a staple stop on any local walk, and will be going back when I get the chance.
