Have had a couple of take-aways during the 2020 pandemic - including a Sunday roast. Both EXCELLENT - lovely food and beautifully cooked. Hope things soon get back to normal because places like this deserve to succeed! TY.

Stayed here for 2 days. The owner was very accommodating and friendly. The room I had was big enough with an ensuite. outside wasn't noicy at all. The breakfast was also nice. I have no complaints and I would stay here again.

Visited for a family birthday meal. Meal was gorgeous and staff were fantastic. Was a return visit as we also spent New Year’s Eve here where we had a brilliant night. Would definitely recommend visiting this pub.

Room was old , hot tap did not work but there was a shower. Bed was clean. Staff were friendly and helpful. Expensive for what it was.

Food was pretty basic defrosted lemon chicken, undercooked chips and unimaginatve salad. We only went to eat so unsure about accomodaton. Don't think we will be rushing back anytime soon although frendly enough

We stayed in The Good Intent for two days with a group of friends for a local wedding. First I must say the chef and the breakfast were great. Really nice breakfast and good service from him even though he was on his own in the kitchen. Sadly that was the only positive about our stay. My room was not clean , sheets were not ironed and the room was full of thick dust. The en-suite was not fit for purpose . The shower holder was hanging off the wall and the only way you could shower was by holding the shower head. The bathroom generally was tired and worn. Would not recommend.

We booked to stay here for the night as the location etc fitted in with our weekend plans. The pub was easy to locate and not far from the town centre. The accommodation could do with a bit of tweaking which would easily take it to the next level. Friendly and amenable staff. Excellent freshly cooked breakfast served prior to departure.

We were a party of 8 and pre-booked just for lunch. We were quickly seated, offered drinks and then efficiently served with starters followed by mains and desserts. Water was brought to the table immediately while we perused the wine list. Good atmosphere on what seemed to be a busy day. Curteous staff and attention. Good ales available.

While not the 'poshest' pub we've stayed in, The Good Intent was just brilliant. The staff went out of their way to make us welcome - they even dog-sat our chocolate lab while we went to a wedding - and the atmosphere was home from home. The open-mic evening included some really good local musicians and the breakfasts were excellent. We'll definitely stay there again when next in Petersfield.

Went here for lunch one Saturday after driving past a few times and thinking it looked nice. So with Goos Intent, we went for lunch! Think the barman’s previous work experience was at Faulty Towers. It was a comedy of errors ordering simple drinks at the bar. Unfortunately the food was not much better. Fish and Chios was greasy, and not cheap either, soup was thin and tasteless. Won’t be returning
