Dandy's Ford Fishery Tea Room

Great venue , easy parking, very well kept with plenty of fish to be caught. Absolutely brilliant breakfast great value for a £5, very friendly staff

The cakes are excellent, coffee very average but the lack of a welcome from the staff has decided us that we will go to Gilbert's Garden Centre cafe just up the road in future. I am sorry to write this but just a good morning and a smile would make all the difference

We again visited Dandy's Ford, the tea rooms days are now limited but the quality is unchanged you couldn't ask for more}, the accommodation in the lodge is of an excellent quality, the surroundings are beautiful and the owners are fabulous, very friendly, and helpful, the fishing is fantastic, can't wait to return.

Excellent, cooked to order, Full English Breakfast ! So good we went back two days later for another. Great value for the money. Lovely cup of coffee. Nice selection of food, all very reasonable priced. Very friendly staff. Clean, tidy restaurant. View of the lakes. Outside seating for the warmer weather. Highly recommended! Can't wait to go back.

On a chilly early spring day after buying onion sets and seed potatoes in this high quality family run garden centre we had an early lunch in their warm conservatory café: delicious soup, bread and particularly outstandingly yummy and large! cheese scones all home made. The cheese scones are by far the best in a 10 mile radius of Romsey! The garden centre is also known locally for the wide collection of high quality dahlia plants.

Im embarrassed to say as an avid angler and traveled count less miles for that truly English fishing experience on a recent corporate days jolly found a truly classy venue. HONESTLY this place has it all! Great help, fantastic grub and the best settings you could ask for. NO sounds, other than the pull of a line. If your afer an excellent venue for the serious angler or taking the kids for a fun packed day then this is the place to visit. I CANNOT rate this fishery any more. Try it and tell your mates! Im so impressed words cannot do this place justice. Paul Novak. Ver carta

I visited yesterday on a Sotonia Wednesday daytime cycle ride for a mid ride tea stop. This was my first visit and I was amazed to see you could get a mug or tea or coffee for £1 Yes that's right, I said £1. There was a lovely selection of cakes (more than £1) and there were simple hot meals on offer too. The cafe is a lovely clean, light airy environtment that's a pleasure to relax in. Outdoors you have the beautiful fishing lakes as your surroundings. This place is advertised as a fishing destination. I have zero interest in fishing but this is just a nice pleasant place to stop whether you're out and about on a car drive or on your bike.

if your after a secluded single 6 birth lodge with hardly any other humans that also caters for the keen fisherman this is the place to go the lodge is built to a very high standard not surprised as it was built by the owner who was a builder for over 30 years its very spacious has massive by folding doors i didn't use them to be fair the kitchen and the bathrooms are great in a word its all great the owner john is a great fella alongside his wife who cant do enough for you nothing is a problem the fishing is fantastic my pb was 20lb carp and my mate gav caught a 15lb carp we where catching any where from 3lb to 12lb on a regular basis there is the odd angler that pops in for a bit fishing a...

Fishery comprises three lakes. The match lake is stuffed with carp averaging about 3lbs at the moment and pleasure anglers can expect multiple catches with the better fish going to twice that. Loads of roach in there as well. Kingfishers is a small canal type water with a big head of mixed species including barbel and chub, not traditional stillwater fare. Responds to pole or waggler. Lodge Lake is in front of the tea room and holds the best carp which run to double figures, and it is expected to yield a 20 sooner rather than later. There are decent perch as well, with roach, tench, bream, chub and barbel. These latter don't come out that often, but I have had a couple of each so they are th... Ver carta
