This historic building has enjoyed a variety of uses over the years being home to a women's workhouse in the early 17th century. Later it became a posting house and then in the 18th century a coaching house called "The Kings Head." In 1995 it was renamed "Bertie's" after the P.G Woodhouse character Bertie Wooster. Well situated in the centre of Romsey Bertie's offers a brisk and efficient, whilst friendly, service for lunch and dinner, with 'a la carte' added in the evenings. There is also a snacks and sandwiches option at lunchtime. The cuisine roams the world but certain dishes, like Bertie's renowned fishcakes - homemade fishcakes with a tomato herb sauce - are forever blessed, but you will also enjoy: brochettes of monkfish with a lemon and chervil dressing, or perhaps pork and herb sausages on a bed of mustard mash alongside roasted rack of lamb with figs and a sauce of ginger. Clearly this is a popular blend of food and place and expansion next door has been called into play. A spritely wine list.
