Hambledon Vineyard

Modern British

£££

When you settle down to eat at what is reputedly England’s oldest commercial vineyard, the feeling you’ve found your own little slice of paradise washes over you. As you walk up to the beautiful timber-and-glass building through the kitchen garden, you will spot some of the ingredients that you’ll soon be eating. Take your seat with a view of the vines and the glorious South Downs, accompanied by a glass of bubbly from the Hambledon Estate. This idyllic scene is bolstered by fresh, appealing dishes like sea bream with tomato risotto.

Pulpo Negro

Spanish · Bib

££

Standing outside this whitewashed Georgian townhouse, you’re in a Hampshire market town; step inside and you’re in the heart of Spain. Barcelona-born Andres Alemany has brought all the authentic flavours of his homeland to the UK, along with a terrific buzz that’s entirely befitting of a popular tapas bar. The classics like boquerones and tortillas are executed with great skill and offered at a sensible price, while the blackboard menu of wood-fired specials allow you to push the boat out a bit. A good choice of Spanish wines serves to enhance the experience.

Chesil Rectory

British Contemporary

££

This double-gabled wattle and daub house dates from the 15C and its hugely characterful interior takes in heavy beams and a large inglenook fireplace. Classically based dishes are informed by local, seasonal produce and given a modern twist by the experienced team. Service is friendly.

Nathan Marshall Clarke House

Modern British

££

From the façade, you wouldn’t guess this was once a courthouse, but inside you’ll find a door leading to what was the judge’s bench. It’s a tiny place with exposed beams and a rustic style and is keenly run by a young couple. Cooking sees a little intricacy added to well-presented, country house style dishes.
