The Yew Tree

Let's show our support for small businesses! I absolutely love leaving glowing reviews and championing small establishments. Recently, I discovered what I can confidently call the best pub in my experience! The lovely owners, Matt and Jas, are truly remarkable. Matt has been cooking for over 30 years, starting his culinary journey at the Ritz in London before embarking on an adventure around the world. Meanwhile, Jas has been managing front-of-house operations internationally for over two decades, bringing incredible expertise to the table. They opened an amazing pub called The Yew Tree, nestled in the picturesque village of Lower Wield. It’s just a 20-minute drive from Alton, Basingstoke, and Winchester, and only 10 minutes from Four Marks. Trust me, the food is absolutely delicious, and their wine selection is superb! If you’re looking for a cozy spot to enjoy great food and company, The Yew Tree is a must-visit!

Fantastic food, we were really impressed. It was so delicious, I had the beef blade and the jus in particular was incredible. Staff were so helpful and thoughtful catering for my allergies. Nice wee pub with good beer on tap and great friendly service. We are definitely going back.

A stunning find⚡⚡ We both agree that this is one of the most charming English pubs we've ever visited (and Himself has visited a LOT🤭). We received a very warm welcome and we were squeezed in for Saturday lunch. The food was absolutely sensational and the chefs are clearly of a very high standard. The gravy was perfect, thick and glossy, the trio of sausages delightful atop tasty crispy bubble and squeak BUT for me the highlight of highlights was the shepherds pie🎉🎉 They used lamb chunks instead of mince, the mash on top was piped and then grilled. It was mouthwatering good and enough for two (or one with leftovers). The interior is beautiful, a nice combination of old English pub and the great British pop culture (ie. Beatles and Rolling Stones playing, lots of vinyls, James Bond art in the lavatories. We're already on a waiting list for tomorrow Sunday lunch haha!
