Bakers Arms, Droxfordback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
This is a 'Gastro Pub' aimed at the Red-Trousered 'Meon Valley Set' with menu and prices to match. Good locally brewed 'Wallop' and space to drink it in if you are not eating there.

Two Bowman Ales on the handle, a full gastro menu commensurate with the prices, attentive staff and a good village pub atmosphere.

A very nice, manicured village pub for very nice middle class people. Having said that, as a working class oik, I like to go there once in a while for the lovely (and not particularly overpriced) food. A very small real ale selection, but well kept.

Providing a masterclass in how to get it right, the Baker's Arms has been turned into the the kind of pub that any village and many small towns would kill for. Plain but comfortable and warm inside, with a nice assortment of furniture tucked into interesting corners, and in the winter, a good fire blazing away. Good lighting, no music, just a really pleasant and characterful space to be in. Friendly, attentive staff, good local beer from the Bowmans brewery (contrary to reports elsewhere, this place operates as a real pub, not just a restaurant), a short but decent wine list - and fantastic food. The menu isn't long but offers a decent choice of dishes from classic steak b�arnaise and chips to more adventurous cuts and dishes, mostly locally sourced, nicely presented and very, very well cooked. Food tends to the comforting, but it's not served in overwhelming quantities and as it also inclines to the lip-smackingly, plate-wipingly delicious, we weren't complaining. Good puds too.

more of a restaurant than a pub now, what a pity

Recently refurbished in a simple traditional style. Excellent food by the new owner ( see the website for his experience and style) using local produce.
A few well kept local ales and a coffe area and post office!

Under new ownership, this is now an excellent meeting place. Smokefree and welcoming, the chef/owner has ensured one visit is not enough. Highly recommended.
