We popped in for lunch - absolutely amazing, perfect size portions with very well made food. Since then I've come back for beers and the service just continues to be great. Good beers, easy to chat to staff, good music in the background, I'll definitely be back again!
Ben and Alison hosted our belated Wedding celebration for 35 guests at the Hartley Arms in October 2022. We can truly say that we had the best day - the venue, the staff, the drinks and the delicious canapés, dinner and cheese table - everything was perfect. Ben listened attentively at our meetings leading up to the event and nothing was too much trouble for him - he was extremely flexible and allowed us to decorate the venue just as we wanted. Ben and team made sure we had nothing to worry about on the day, they were very accommodating and made the event so special for us. We would without a doubt recommend the Hartley Arms if you’re thinking of having any kind of celebratory event at their venue (be it a wedding, birthday party, anniversary party etc), we are very happy with our decision and look forward to visiting many times in the future! Thanks again Ben, Alison and Fran. Best wishes, James and Kate
One of the best pubs I visited.
Food is prepared in fine detail.
I enjoy live music and good selection of local ale and bitter.
The management will go extra mile to ensure that you have a great time and experience.
The decor is intriguing and modern but suits older generation to.
Pub with future. Definitely will visit again
Excellent local pub in Donnington, its a real traditional pub with friendly service. Food is very good, modern British, with decent portion sizes. There's a car park area opposite and its in a nice quiet area, just off the b road. Ordered the roast pork belly which was a decent size. The skin wasn't easy to cut but was tasty. The brussel sprouts were nice but a little firm, but were cooked. All the roast vegetables were tasty, and will seasoned. The pork was very tasty, with a smoky flavour, wasn't soft so slightly tricky to cut but was still good nonetheless. Recommended.

Excellent experience the food was first class- short menu but we like that - I'm always suspicious of massive menus. Great wine and beer. Service was spot on - highly recommend this place it is immaculately set out also dog friendly.
What a find! We had to go to Newbury and, knowing how bad the A34 & M3 can be in the evening, we thought we'd find somewhere close by to grab a bite to eat before heading home to Southsea. So glad we did. We liked the sound of The Honesty Group's ethos, but the service, food and wine all surpassed our expectations. My wife had a glass of Pigot Gris and the flat iron steak with red wine sauce. I had a glass of the house red (an organic Cote du Rhone!) and the roasted rump of lamb. We were both impressed, and cleared our plates with gusto. Despite living over an hour away, we're already planning to come back 😀
Absolutely loved our meal at The Hartly Arms, on Saturday evening. The decor, ambience and fireplace was so cosy and welcoming. The drinks selection and food is exceptional; the BEST fish and chips my hubby and I have ever had! Looking forward to coming back again soon...👌
We had a delightful lunch at Hartley Arms! Ben provided a fantastic experience through his kind and generous manner. The food was creative and delicious!
Such a good lunch today, every single morsel was delicious. The manager Ali is an amazing host always making us feel welcome.
Wonderful food, each dish obviously cooked with a lot of care and flair, full of flavour...
