The Old Hatchet Pub And Restaurant

Changed hands recently and some good improvements. Firstly, it's open every day, was always difficult to know when it would be open so ended up not going. Friendly welcome and good service for lunch. Food was good, tasted fresh and served in good time. Had the goats cheese thingies with beetroot and the hummus to start, both we couldn't fault. Main course was couple of pies and a vegan burger. Again, fresh and tasty with some really nice chips. Would like to see a more interesting menu and more vegan options, but we had a great lunch and I'm sure we'll be back.

Came across this lovely jewel of a pub on a day out in the area and actually contemplated returning the following day it was so good. The pub is situated in Cranbourne between Windsor and Ascot and has a large car park. It has low beamed ceilings and open fireplaces which on the day of our visit were roaring invitingly. The service was impeccable from start to finish, drinks ordered and delivered immediately. The staff were attentive and available despite the pub being reassuringly busy as we placed our order. The menu is extensive with plenty for all tastes. I can honestly say the food was beyond good and far better than I have had at some higher end restaurants in the area. My wife accidentally spilled her drink at one point and the team jumped in to deal with it discreetly and replaced the drink free of charge. The cost for 2 courses plus drinks and coffee for 2 people was £70 in a warm comforting environment, served by well trained attentive staff was money well spent and in a period of gloomy economic outlook an investment in total pleasure. There was even a fantastic playlist of music at perfect volume as to be audible but not overbearing. The team at the old Hatchet deserve to be congratulated for impressive hospitality, top class unpretentious cuisine in a clean welcoming , comforting environment. Faultless! We will be back and will be bringing family and friends. This place should not be a secret!
