My last visit was a disaster, unpalatable greasy chips, a steak and mushroom pie with tinned sliced mushrooms, and fish which bore no resemblance to the description. So as we heard there was new management we decided to try again. We were not disappointed. The four of us had lovely meals. The chips were crispy and delicious, real mushrooms in the pie, and delicious fish. Well done to the team. We shall definitely be back.

We recently visited the partridge inn on a Saturday night. After a mix up with our booking they had us booked in for lunch at 645pm. We ordered mains and waited over 1 hour 20 mins for this to arrive. Two other tables around us had complained about the specials menu, and received money off their bill. We had vouchers to use, that had been given to us as an Xmas gift, we were told we couldn't use these at the pub was under new management, we were then told to go to the sister pub and cause a scene and ask them to honour the vouchers. No offer of sorting this out for us, or indeed to make a phone call to the other pub. Only seem to be interested in taking your money, have a lot to learn if they want to make this business work. Would not recommend this pub, plenty more in local area with great service and great food

My wife and I travelled up to Singleton from Portsmouth for a cheeky Saturday pub lunch in the country, after hearing some good things about the place from some work colleagues, a good reputation travels far it turns out.

The place was easy to find and well sign-posted, with plenty of parking space. We were greeted with a warm and friendly welcome at the bar, and talked through the menu and specials enthusiatically, with good and helpful advice.

As the weather was glorious we couldn't turn down the chance to sit outside, in the large, well maintained garden, which had ample (good quality) seating.
We were relatively early for the lunchtime rush, so there was plenty of choice, but by the time we left most of the outdoor seating was taken so get there early, it's clearly popular in the sunshine!

We both ordered the pork belly off the main menu, and this was both delicious and generous. The chilli chutney that came with it was subtle, yet really set off the dish and made it incredibly flavoursome.

We actually bumped into a colleague and his wife in the garden by coincidence, and sat with them, they'd ordered a couple of specials and these were equally well priced, and generous. The seafood platter they had looked particuarly delicious, and I don't even like seafood!

We didn't spend much time inside, but the interior looked nice and inviting, can imagine being a real cosy place to be with the fires going on a cold day!

A highlight of the place for me was the garden, it even had a couple of pheasants wondering the lawn. The pub is also very welcoming of dogs, and the little dog treats available at the bar, a nice touch.

It's a bit of a trek for us, but we will definitely be returning, and will make sure we bring our dog next time, as there's plenty of dog walking opportunites near by.

Well worth the journey.

A nice country pub .....but this lunch was like going back to the bad food days of the 1960's !
Anaemic scampi that was barely warm inside and awful frozen chips! I cannot believe that someone thought this good enough to serve up. My friend had dried, over cooked whitebait. Appalling food.
Unfortunately I was on a first (and last) date otherwise this would have gone straight back to the chef
