There's something so enjoyable about an evening spent in a quintessentially British pub with loved ones, eating huge plates of warming food and ordering drink after drink. If you’re in the market for a new location to try out, The Mutton at Hazeley Heath might be the one for you.
Situated in Hampshire, near the village of Hartley Wintney, The Mutton at Hazeley Heath is everything a meal at the pub should be. Cosy and inviting, with gourmet food to tuck into, this pub is the foundations of a wonderful evening out.
The pub is now run by the Taylor family; but it was previously a post office, and in the 19th Century it was a public house. This rich history is reflected in the beautiful surroundings as you dine. Looking out over Hazeley farm, you’ll be treated to a feast of reimagined pub classics, made with local produce and ingredients that change with the seasons.
For a drink (or two) before you eat, The Mutton has an extensive wine menu, cleverly organised not according to price order, but from the lightest and most delicate through to the richer and fullest. The pub is also well stocked up with gins, cask ales, and craft beers, for those nights when you want something perhaps a little more grounding.
The food menu is full of choices we’d hope for at a place like this one, including Shepards' pie with slow braised shoulder of mutton, creamy mash and roasted cabbage. There's also a classic and unbeatable fish and chips, with mushy peas, curry sauce, and tartare - dreamy combinations all round. Dessert means some old favourites, but also some exciting, unique concoctions, like honey Madeleines with miso butterscotch sauce.
The Mutton at Hazeley Heath is perfect for any occasion. Whether it’s a Sunday lunch, Friday date night, or Saturday evening with friends, it’s guaranteed to please.
