Good food.
Friendly staff. A brilliant little pub.Absolutely delicious soup. Well balanced, thought out and beautifully presented.There vegetarian main is the only thing that stopped this being a 5 star. It was filling but a little disappointing in the flavour department.I'd thoroughly advise this pub for a drink or a meal. Surely with a visit.Whatever problems were present a few years back the Thomas Lord has sorted them out.

I would say this is more of a restaurant than a pub, but If I had to sum it up in one word, Lovely! We ate here two weekends ago, and we thought every aspect of the experience was wonderful. West Meon is a picturesque little town in the South Downs. I was in the area with a friend, and we had heard great reviews of the Thomas Lord so we decided to stop for lunch. The pub is located on the main road, and there is a car park along the side and additional parking in front. Upon entering the pub, the staff were all so friendly and welcoming. They all (4 people) made a point to speak to us when we entered. As always, I had my faithful companion (dog) with me, and I think he got even more attention than I did. There were jars of dog treats on the bar and several water bowls scattered around. This pub is Very dog friendly, and dogs are allowed in the restaurant! (This is always a plus for me! Although, I can appreciate some people may not like dogs. If you do not like dogs, this may not be the place for you as it seemed over half the people in the restaurant had at least one.) One thing we learned, this place gets very (VERY) busy. We should have made a reservation, but as we didn't we were seated at a small table in front of the bar. (This wasn't a problem for me, on the contrary I was very glad they had a few designated tables for people without reservations.) This pub is very 'picturesque'. There are lots of flowers, and a large front window for 'people/dog watching' and a very large, beautiful garden (not to mention the quaint little town in front of you!). The weather wasn't great, so I didn't see the whole garden. The inside of the pub was very 'traditional' and it seems they are great supporters of the local cricket team. (There is some sort of history about this pub and cricket.) The food was delicious!!! You go to a pub lunch and it's always a bit hit/miss as you never know what you'll get, but my friend and I were both very pleasantly surprised and impressed with the food here--in fact, we had three courses and over ate because it was so good. My main was the mushroom risotto and it was hands down the best I've ever eaten. (Who would have thought you could get so excited about risotto, but it really was fabulous!!) My friend paid for the meal (and kept the receipt) so I can't give you a full break-down, but a three-course meal for two with non-alcoholic drinks was about £55. I thought this price was very reasonable for the quality food and the overall experience. On a Side Note: One reviewer says this pub has a reputation for catering to the 'London crowd'. I can certainly understand this statement. I would say the majority of the people in the restaurant were not locals....even we were not locals. Most of the cars in the car park were high end sports cars, and a Bentley pulled in as we were leaving. Everyone was wearing designer, I felt out of place in my vera wang ---from last season (Oh the horror! : ). My friend and I are from London (even though I've recently moved to Berkshire) so we felt very comfortable and completely, 100% enjoyed our experience, but maybe this setting isn't for everyone?? I really can't understand that though as everyone was friendly, most people had a dog, the overall ambiance was very lively, friendly, welcoming, warm. Mind you, this was my first visit to the pub, so I can't say if this is normal, but we certainly enjoyed our visit and plan to go back very soon (next weekend)....this time we have reservations!This pub seems to have very mixed reviews on Yelp, but all I can say is from my one experience here, I loved it and would very highly recommend the Thomas Lord in West Meon, Hampshire.
Be the first to ReplyUsed to be a great pub, our fav.
New management and it is not the same. Food standard has declined, the staff are not cutting it and the whole thing seems less assured. The beer garden is great and for kids there is load of room to run around.Used to have a fine selection of ales etc and the food top notch. The wood stove pizzas are great but the overall service is not as good as it was. Maybe it is just me and that it is like an old friend you meet up with after many years and they are not quite who they were.

Indeed, an early contender for most memorable meal of the year, once you strip out the snobbish expectations of Michelin et al. The Thomas Lord, located in a small Hampshire village but evidently booked out on a very regular basis, wins plaudits (including two AA rosettes) for getting right the vital things that make eating out a pleasurable experience. The first thing you notice upon parking is a sizeable kitchen garden, supplying splendid veg and herbs always a good sign. As you enter, you notice a hugely enticing environment, certainly if you enjoy the English country pub. The decor has accumulated over time, rather than being painted on by the yard. Cricket memorabilia abounds, this being close to the original home of cricket (I can just picture Peter Cook intoning, not many people know that.) Comforting sofas and open log fires are much in evidence this is not for those expecting in-your-face modern decor, but for people who want to relax and enjoy the ambience, take time over a meal and a few drinks, rather than worry about whether the seats match. Initial reactions are confirmed by service that is uniformly friendly, helpful, professional, knowledgeable and good-humoured. Having been served by many a grumpy waiter over the years, I kept waiting for his facade to crack and for Basil Fawlty to emerge from within. Alas, our waiter charmed from beginning to end my only sadness being that while the credit card bill (correctly) did not allow an option for gratuities, I had no cash on me to reward exceptional performance. Luckily for him, there will be a next time The menu is also encouraging. Not too many choices to blind the diner, in fact few enough to confirm this to be a fresh food restaurant taking pride in its food, not yet another pub with a hot microwave churning out identikit meals. In fact, the ingredients are carefully sourced, seasonal and top notch, for which the TL deserves much credit. We started with pigeon breast artfully arranged atop a wave of creamed swede, with a crisp rasher of bacon like a surfboard. A tian of zingingly fresh crab came on a crouton surrounded by splodges of sweet chilli and satisfied to the last mouthful. Personally, I'd prefer a small puddle than the cheffy touch of dripping sauces, but I seem to be in a minority here. Main courses proved a problem, not least because we wanted all five between us. Plaice, rib eye steak and duck breast would have been just as inviting, but the mushroom lasagne and crisp braised shoulder of lamb chosen were both masterpieces of their respective art the pressed lamb came as a circle of tender gooey meat with a crunchy sea salt topping. Perhaps it's just as easy to be over-fulsome in praise as it is to carp, but it would be sniffy to find any serious criticism of these dishes they truly hit the spot. Probably the best I can do is say that the oval of crushed minted potatoes were not especially minty. However, the rosemary gravy did arrive in a pleasing puddle, so that is forgiven! Similar selection issues emerged with desserts, but an impossibly rich chocolate marquise (which the waiter claimed to spell instant diabetes) and a truly wonderful cheeseboard, served in perfect condition and accompanied by glorious pickles and the charcoal biscuits that send my mother into a thousand ecstasies. My coffee was a tad cold but I chose not to comment it was at least strong and full-bodied and mitigated by the fact that we found a welcome diversion in the excellent collection of second hand books, all for sale, on the shelves all around the dining room. My companion kindly bought me a splendid volume of W S Gilbert's Savoy Operas for 50p, which went towards the church fund!! In summary: The Thomas Lord is not perfect, but pretty damned good, certainly worthy of a second visit to confirm findings, and top marks for charm, dedication and excellence.

Over done food with huge price tag! Family of four from Petersfield was disappointed. Spoke to friends afterwards. Has abit of local rep. Only those from London go now! Avoid if you want good food.

The Thomas Lord is everything one could wish for in a country pub - except prehaps for the lack of a great view, but that is more than made up for in summer by a wonderful garden which now includes a pizza bar set up underneath an old yew tree. Inside, it exudes the warmth and charm of its cheerful owners and the unmistakable smell of a good table. Exceptional cooking, using local produce and supporting local farmers, butchers and fishermen, results in dishes such as mouthwatering pork chops, succulent venison and a perfect vegetable 'shepherds' pie. A short but interesting wine list includes a very tasty and reasonably priced Chilean Carmenere red - and the beer is of course excellent. Add two blazing fires and a semi-private back room lined with books (that you can buy for 50p each), wi-fi and aged wood everywhere, and you will be tempted to stay all day. About £30 a head for two courses and a lot of wine!
