Is there a better way to round off a walk than by resting up in a country pub?
Below are some of our favourite local hostelries. Most of them are within five
miles of Wriggly Tin.
Famous for being the original HQ of Hambledon Cricket Club
The last remaining pub in the village and our nearest. The Vine serves good pub
food and is 20-25 minutes walk by footpath.
Award-winning food in shabby chic surroundings. Book ahead!
A buzzy bar, inventive food and plenty of Farrow & Ball.
Picture postcard location on the banks of the river Meon.
More cricketing connections. The food here is amongst the best in the area and
the balance between pub and restaurant is just right.
Posher of two pubs in East Meon. The other is the Izaak Walton.
Tip Most local pubs are closed on weekday afternoons and Monday is often ‘chef’s night off’. Some don’t even open on Mondays. The exception to all these rules is the Bat and Ball.
