The Three Cups Inn - Test Valley

On our first visit to Stockbridge we didn't have a food plan. I'd heard there were lovely places to eat. We stumbled across the three Cups on a cold day. It looked inviting so we went in. I had the trout main and my teenage son had the venison cottage pie. We were both super impressed with the food, service and location

We have frequented thi inn for the last 2 years. we travel 50 miles to have lunch or dinner. it is excellent. brilliant ambience the locals who use this inn are refined and sociable. the staff and ownerare only to pleased to give good service and be helpful. very dog friendly with a large open garden and consevatory

Staff were lovely and attentive but unfortunately some of the food was letting them down. Child's fish and chips was presented on hot plate and the fish contained several long bones and did not appear cooked therefore did not chance giving this to our two year old granddaughter. On advising two separate staff members they did apologize and spoke to kitchen who said they order filleted fish... They still charged £8.00 for child's meal that she couldn't eat!

We stumbled across this fabulous pub over a wintery lunch time and whilst exploring Stockbridge village. Having not planned to eat out, we were offered a very warm welcome and a great choice of beers and ciders on the pumps. The fire was lit and the pub was busy with locals and visiting diners, so having found ourselves seats right by the fire, we couldn't resist checking out the lunch menu and we are so glad that we did!!! Our choice of a starter and a bar snack were not perhaps conventional ones, but the crispy baby squid was perfectly cooked and served with a beautifully dressed salad. The gourmet chips were a similarly delicious accompaniment that would easily challenge some of the best we have had. Although we were perhaps not dressed as well as we might have been, the service was excellent. Unpretentious, smiley, efficient and attentive. The service extended to our dog who was offered water and a biscuit. Thank you Team Three Cups We'll definitely be back and have already recommended this pub to friends.

We have been here a few times over the last few years and enjoyed it each time. But on principle I would not return. We called in last week on a lunchtime I ordered a green tea the tea pot was stained so badly it had obviously never seen the dishwasher it was black and frankly it was disgusting. I ordered ham and egg and one of the egg yolks was bordering on a cream colour the palest yellow ever and the texture was weird so I couldn’t eat it. Indicating it was probably way out of date. The house coleslaw is usually lovely but it was the bulk standard shop bought stuff on my plate. For the money I was disappointed. I did tell the young man behind the bar. And I did email them in hope of an apology but my email was ignored. Hence my review. Wish I had taken some photos.
