The Malthouse Inn - Romsey

The Malthouse has closed down. Soon to reopen as a new pub with a new name.

Pretty underwhelming lunch. Food was quite heavy and not particularly tasy. Nice to have outdoor family area playground but inside it smelled slightly odd which made the place feel a bit unclean though it probably wasn't.

Not good.As soon as we arrived at 12pm we were told no tuna egg mayo prawns fish cakes or brown baguettes !!!! Only people in restaurant at lunchtime . We orderered food i asked for a cappuccino they had run out of milk so the chef had to go and get some from local shop. 15 minutes after paying i asked if he was back it took another 5 minutes Food all ordered for same table at same time but all came out separate times.first food was finished before last order came out even though explained we were all together. Ordered 2 cappuccinos which came out in espresso sized cups as apparently ran out of large cups but were still charged 2.75.We were given another small cup of cappuccino but this time without a saucer. Not a place I would visit again especially as they seem to encourage dogs in to eat a carvery. I love dogs but certainly don't want to eat with them. We were told busiest day if the week so where was the prep.Won't be going in again.

Attended a christening party here, it was well organised and plenty of space. The outside children's area is fab and big they also had a bouncy castle very good

Went for a meal gravy is full of lumps I can honestly say it's the worst meal I've ever had there it's debatable if we will ever go their again
