I was lucky enough to have won a Facebook completion for a free meal for 2 and free drinks. My husband and I booked our table and arrived early and were seated to our table early. We ordered the sharing platter starter and each decided on the surf and turf. The food was hot and fresh and beautifully cooked. The staff were very good and our waiter Danny was always checking everything was ok. We really enjoyed our evening and will definitely be back soon. Thanks guys �

My wife and I were at the Ely Hotel yesterday for a 40th Wedding Anniversary party and stayed the night there. The staff were very helpful, the room was spotless and the food was first class, well done to all and we would definitely come back again.

Awesome for a casual night out with family. No pressure to eat a meal like at a lot of pubs nowadays. Friendly & attentive staff (thanks Simon :)). Nice, friendly, relaxing atmosphere and great decor, making for a cosy night out.

Great Sunday lunch/dinner. We arrived with no reservation. We were welcomed and attended to by the staff brilliantly. We had a great roast dinner and puddings. Very reasonable with drinks. Would recommend The Ely. Well done to all the management and the great staff. We will be back.

What an amazing night! I planned a surprise birthday party for my dad and the staff were brilliant from start to finish. Charlotte, the events coordinator was a star, always answering any questions and making sure I had everything I needed for the party. The staff were so helpful and friendly throughout the night and the venue was perfect for the celebration. We are already planning our next party!

We have eaten here a couple of times and generally it's good value. However, last night we popped in to the bar for a couple of drinks. The bar was nice and comfy. Good selection of beers and lagers. Why the 5 stars? The lady behind the bar acknowledged everyone attending the bar letting them know she had seen them and told everyone that she would be with them shortly. Much nicer than being ignored and being asked who is next. Simple but excellent 👍

Nice Chef & Brewer rub a dub dub with restaurant on the A30 in Minley Hampshire. Good menu and food and good selection of beers pleasant staff. Dogs welcome and a "dog station" providing comforts for them is just inside the entrance. Recommended.

My husband and had been out all day and we decided to try and book a table to save us cooking. We were very pleased to be able to book one, as the resturant was busy. Our waiter was very friendly and made us very welcome. The food was delicious and both enjoyed our meals.

Popped in for a meal about 2000 on a Saturday night and was impressed how friendly and attentive the staff were. Food was delicious and good value. The waiter that served us was continually scaning the room to make sure nobody had to wait too long to get his attention. A rare quality nowdays. All in all, a very pleasant experience.

Great stay over the bank holiday weekend with our dog. Lovely rooms and location Pub and hotel is dog friendly and staff are very good and efficient Car park could do with some doggy bins - appreciate there is a heath nearby but for late night visit before bed didn't want to venture there so had to leave poo bag by my car and take it somewhere else as no where to leave it ...

My family and I had a pleasant meal here. It was however quite frustrating the amount of items that were not available just as dinner service was getting underway. I that supply issues are common place these days but surely these basic ingredients can be sourced locally to offer a complete menu. Other than that a very nice restaurant. Clean, good food and reasonably priced.

Lovely place for a drink with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Outside had plenty of heaters available. Good drink options with higher than average soft drink prices.

Went for lunch Saturday 2nd Sept. Food was excellent, and very reasonably priced. Staff were great, but obviously very busy. Our waiter Simon was first class.

Met old friends/neighbours as we have both moved from that area and this seemed around halfway between our current addresses for a meal and catchup and were made to feel welcome and were subject to excellent service, from attentive friendly staff and received very tasty and well proportioned meals so have decided to come back again for future meets. Well done all at The Ely!

Decent place busy because of Ascot. Service OK and food standard Greene King fare. Nothing to complain about and nothing to rave about. You won't be disappointed but won't beat a path back either. Good 'passing by' place

Stayed at The Ely for a couple of nights. Staff in the hotel were friendly, polite and chatty. Rooms where clean, comfy and well maintained. Beds made when we arrived back with fresh towels. (Even my little ones blanket was folded in her travel cot which I thought was very sweet.) Had a meal in the pub on Friday that was really nice and our waitress Millie is a credit to your team! Nothing was too much trouble for her. She was polite, friendly and had a laugh with us. I would stay again. It would of been 5 star's however unfortunately a member of staff did let it down as found them rather rude and we felt like a complete inconvenience as soon as we walked in so we walked out and when elsewhere.

Had a lovely Sunday lunch here. Main course and a desert each. Restaurant is well presented and staff are very good. Food was all excellent and price was fair. Thoroughly recommended but you will need to drive to get here, but there is plenty of parking. They do allow dogs in some areas, but I'd advise calling if you're taking one as they aren't allowed in the main restaurant.

We regularly have breakfast at The Ely. Of all the places we've tried in the area, their breakfast is far and away the best. Beautifully cooked, well presented, good quality ingredients, accompanied by great coffee and tea and lovely peaceful and cosy surroundings.
