About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Romantic
  • Innovative
The Hoddington Arms, or ‘the Hodd’ as most locals know it is the only pub in the pretty village of Upton Grey, Hampshire and is situated between Basingstoke, Hook and Alton. Originally a destination pub, in recent years its fortunes suffered and the lovely old building was falling into disrepair. Four local businessmen decided the village deserved a great pub, so bought the freehold and lovingly restored ‘the Hodd’ to its former glory and a bit more.

    We had a pre -Christmas family meal at The Hoddington Arms. We were welcomed warmly and the service we received throughout our meal was exceptional, really great and chatty waitress who made suggestions from the menu and knew the wine list. The food was well presented and cooked exactly as we had asked. I would recommend the Hoddington Arms to anyone.

    From a limited and not very interesting menu, we both opted for the burger - a combination of classic beefburger and a short rib patty. The short rib didn't taste like beef and the burger was overcooked, dry and gristly. We both left most of it. When the pub reopened for indoor eating we had a lovely Sunday lunch but something has gone horribly wrong since then. We are not likely to return any time soon.

    Went for Sunday lunch and it was great. The food was lovely, the service too and the place had a nice friendly atmosphere. We’ll definitely be going again!

    Meal with friends was very enjoyable, service was good, although didn't quiet make six stars due to my request for a round table not able to be filled, although they were very busy.
