Popped in for dinner with friends. Food was excellent but atmosphere and service poor. There seemed to be a large party function on and this clearly distracted the front of house and her demeanor seemed to spread to her team. Hopefully just a bad day because the food (even though we were told they had problems in the kitchen as only one chef available) was some of the best we'd had for sometime. Service: 3

This pub you need to know about, otherwise, you wouldn't know it was there. This pub is owned by the Dire Straits bass player, John Illsley. Unfortunately, there is no hot food at present at this pub, as the pub does not have a current chef. So check first if you are planning to eat there. Also, the car park is tiny so parking on the front road is necessary, if you can find a spot. Be advised that the road is quite narrow. Location: 4

I was staying in the New Forest, as a Dire Straits fan (John Isley from Dire Straits owns the pub), I thought I would visit.

I was there during lunchtime and it got fairly busy, if you just want drink, I found it could be a chore trying to get served at the bar, whilst people ordered food at the bar, other than that an ok visit.

Very disappointing Sunday Roast Food drinks: I booked a late Sunday lunch today August 6th 2.45 with my daughter and Grandson and husband . Extremely disappointed with the food and service . After the order was taken it was over an hour before we were informed there was no burgers the alternative was fish and chips for my Grandson which came with peas and not the side of beans he had ordered What pub has no burgers available . ! We ordered 3 roast beef Sunday roasts as no pork left either . The food was very average the Yorkshire pudding was raw the gravy was greasy we had some kind of burnt vegetable on the plate . In fact the food what little there was for £25 ahead was just dumped on the...

The fact that I chose the East End Arms as our base for Hampshire travels for two nights in September was in no small part due to my love for Dire Straits and Mark Knopfler. While I was never expecting to get an opportunity to mingle with John Illsley himself, I have to admit that my pilgrimage of sorts quickly turned to disappointment due to the current state of one of Hampshire's most renowned inns. The place seems laid back, which is all well and good but it might seem that by now it has become a tad too laid back for its own good. Cobwebs and dead insects every which way you turn, noisy windows, towels that are teetering far too close to disintegration, decidedly tired furnishings, frank...
