Press

We have received wonderful feedback from local and national publications such as:

“What awaits whatever the mode of transport is a modern, high-end gastropub in northern Hampshire, sitting pretty in the countryside between Reading and Basingstoke. The garden overlooks Hazeley Farm – excellent in good weather – while the pub is among the cosiest in the area come wind and rain. On the menu, “pub classics” are heralded and the newer, more adventurous dishes make for good eating”.

“The garden at The Mutton provides guests with an inviting escape from everyday life, with blooming flowers and greenery. It’s boasts amazing views, private dining experiences and a huge selection of drinks that has earned it both local and national awards”.

“Hungry diners come from far and wide for well-plated Sunday roasts such as beef rump and leg of lamb
with seasonal veggies, crunchy Yorkshire puds and roasties”.

 “I applaud head chef Rob and his team at The Mutton for taking a risk for Zero Waste Week to show off some lesser known or accepted dishes for such a worthy cause. In doing so, The Mutton has proved that much too much of our food is wasted when there is more than enough potential to create a mouth-watering menu”.

“It’s safe to say The Mutton is a must this summer. The garden is simply magical. It’s gorgeous sitting there under the blue sky, looking out onto the Hampshire countryside accompanied by the smell of beautiful fresh flowers and the food is delicious too”.
