Super evening with friends. We had not booked a table for a Friday night and they still managed to squeeze a table for three in. Service, food and atmosphere were excellent, couldn’t fault the evening. Thanks for looking after us.

Booked a table at this Crookham Village pub. Staff were very pleasant and amenable. Ordered a Red and a Green curry with Egg Fried Rice. Both were very tasty. For dessert it was Banana Fritters and a Strawberry Sundae. Nice way to round off the dinner. Would recommend a visit.

This was our first time here. Although I had mentioned when booking that it was our first time and that we were celebrating a birthday, there wasn’t anything done to make our visit special. I think it’d have been a nice touch if this had happened. We were very happy with the food (taste as well as portion sizes - in fact, we had ordered too much and had to take some food back with us). The green curry was my favourite while my wife liked the massaman curry. We were well looked after. Our waitress Ellie listened to our requests regarding vegan food, gave us the allergen menu and despite the allergen menu listing crustaceans/eggs, was able to get us vegan curries without these, made from scratch for us, and also the pineapple fried rice without eggs. She kindly got hot water for my dad from the coffee machine. Towards the end, we were waiting for a little while to catch Ellie’s attention to get the bill - the layout of the restaurant and where we were sat, meant that we couldn’t see her nor could she see us unless she was in our section of the restaurant. It was also a bit too busy/noisy for my dad’s liking. As it was a Saturday night and slightly busy, this is perhaps understandable, but we would have said our visit was perfect had this not happened. We were confused that the bill included service charge because it referred to hospitality but we have now found out this was some tax. The next time we are there, we will make sure to leave a tip for Ellie. Overall, we would say we had a very good experience and will definitely return. I would definitely recommend the restaurant.
