Best Gastro Pubs in Waterlooville

From the moment we arrived at the Northbrook Arms, we were made to feel completely at home. The setting is stunning – a perfect blend of countryside charm and stylish comfort. The pub itself is beautifully decorated, with a warm, welcoming atmosphere that makes it ideal for everything from a quiet drink to a special meal. The food was absolutely delicious – beautifully presented, full of flavour, and clearly made with care and quality ingredients. The drinks menu was also excellent, with a great selection of local ales, fine wines, and cocktails. What really sets the Northbrook Arms apart, though, is the service. Every member of the team was friendly, attentive, and genuinely passionate about what they do. Nothing was too much trouble, and they really went the extra mile to make our visit special. We’ll definitely be back – a real 5-star experience from start to finish. Thank you, Northbrook Arms! xx

We had a truly wonderful dining experience this evening. From start to finish, everything was nothing short of exceptional. The food was beautifully presented, rich in flavour, and perfectly cooked — a real testament to the talent and creativity of Caz in the kitchen. Caz even took the time to come out and go through the menu with us in detail, addressing all of our allergens and making sure we felt comfortable and well-informed about our choices. The service was equally impressive; Ben made sure we were warmly welcomed, comfortable, and well looked after all evening. His friendly, attentive approach really added a personal touch to our visit. It’s clear that great care and consideration go into every aspect of the restaurant, and we can’t wait to return. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a special dining experience.

Excellent pub and the food was outstanding. Our table of 4 ordered 4 different mains and each one was so good. Will definitely be returning

Great pub and restaurant. Nicely laid out with plenty of space. Very welcoming and helpful staff. Very good food. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and will return. Steve & Ali

Lovely pub/restaurant and food was superb. Was let down by the lack of decoration for Valentines night though. A few crepe paper hearts. Music was good though and service wonderful.
