Friday  night at the Dolphin is always excellent, and we wanted to see the changes…we weren’t disappointed as our favourite, Bethany, is still there and as excellent as ever , and we got to meet Ben for the first time. The food was really lovely and service brilliant. So lucky to have this at the end of our road !!…..

Better than ever

Do not visit this place when they're busy.The service was terrible,exemplified by the head person who told me l was rude to interrupt her to ask for condiments and the remainder of my lunch order five minutes after being served with said lunch.When waitress finally brought the remaining order and ketchup again l was told l was rude and should make an official complaint.We should have left then but my 6yr old was oblivious and it was unfair to her to leave before she had finished.My wife and l left our lunches  almost intact,paid and left.
Wild horses won't drag me back.Bloody awful.

Awful service and attitude.

We had an excellent dinner at the Dolphin this week. Very friendly and welcoming staff, and food was superb. I had the sirloin steak which came seared, but then I finished it the way I wanted on a hot stone at the table. My wife had the feather blade beef which was rich and delicious. The liquid puddings were fun too

Excellent mid week dinner

Just returned from yet another great meal at the Dolphin at Hursley.
Tried the new menu which this time was good old bangers & mash & my partner had the burger. Followed by a very delicious crème brûlée & also the rhubarb & ginger crumble… delicious…. Loved the new drinks menu which included new cocktails.. I recommend the spiced mojito. 
Well done to all the team for another enjoyable evening.

Another delicious meal.

I want to say that new owners have taken over so things may change.   We went for a Valentines Day lunch. It was FREEZING . Far too cold to eat.. they were painting so the smell of paint was everywhere.  The food was poor . My pate starter had one piece of very tough bread. Main course was oily and not nice. We orderred a bottle of Pino Grigio which was 10.50% ! The whole lunch was a disaster. I complained and they took off 10%. The worst £100 I have spent for a long time.

Disaster lunch

Me and my sisters stay at the dolphin every year for our annual 'Christmas sisters night'!! We love it. This times stay was as good as always!! The accommodation is great and the staff are all warm and friendly!! Thank you again!! We will see you next year!! 

We love it! 

Great stay, perfect room and great hospitality from the Dolphin team - what more to want ! The dinner was also superb, even though we didn't order till after 20:30, when the kitchen was closed but the chefs team just produced the most delicious meal with tempura prawns and a burger to follow all cooked to perfection. Thank you guys for a great, all round, experience !

Great Stay

5 adults and 2 toddlers could be a recipe for disaster but the Dolphin coped well last Saturday. We had a table of a good size in an area where the children would not be a problem to other diners which in fact, we don’t think they were. 
Bethany our waitress and Ben the manager obviously know that a child that is eating doesn’t get in the way and so they ensured the grandsons’ food was quickly served.
The menu had most of the usual pub food but with a couple of extras. I have never seen faggots on a pub menu before so enjoyed those. Puds, again most of the usual but also a couple of extras. How could I refuse Jam Roly Poly and custard ( plenty of it as well! ) 
Bethany read us completely and joined in with our family fun which was so very nice. Ben made sure we were enjoying ourselves but didn’t keep pestering us.
A pleasure to go somewhere where the staff know how to look after their customers. Well done all.

A treat for the family

DON'T EVER GO HERE! I arrived late in the afternoon to stay in one of the rooms and was not offered any food or option to buy something nearby. Besides, the room had already been paid through AirBnb, months ago, but the guy at the counter insisted that it was still unpaid, so I gave my card. I checked later and it had already been paid, so I was charged twice for the room. The hotel said it was not their fault and I still haven't managed to recover the money. Really bad service and bad manners.

Horrible experience: no food and double charged for the room

Booked both flats for my daughters hen do. They are conveniently situated near Winchester. The accommodation had 2 double beds in 1 flat & in other 1 double & 2 singles. Both were clean and welcoming, providing towels & tea coffee making facilities. 
We all congregated in 1 flat after our evening meal in The Dolphin pub for partying! 
A great stay & would recommend
