Hurdles, The

Sue B (21 February 2009)

We were looking for somewhere new and decided to try The Hurdles based on the entry and customer review on restaurant-guide.com. We were so impressed with the food, the décor and the prompt and friendly service that this is likely to become our new favourite place for eating out. Among the starters was a sweet potato and duck hashcake served with a poached egg and butter sauce - a fabulous blend of flavours. The beef bourguignon was meltingly tender and full of rich flavours. We were so full we sadly had to skip dessert but even the coffee, often a disappointment in pub-restaurants, was delicious at The Hurdles. This place is a real gem.

The Hurdles in Soberton offers smart dining in a relaxed country atmosphere. It’s easy to find on the B2153, off the A32 north of Droxford. You can view their menu on their website and it is helpful that the staff know the specifics of the dishes and direct you well. The restaurant also has tasty starters, light lunches and a good selection of wines at pub average prices too. The portions are just right and very tasty. The service was perfectly timed even on a busy Saturday evening just before Christmas. As the restaurant is disabled friendly and has plenty of parking space, so it makes sense to book in advance. This place is ideal for lunch at the weekend, especially if you are walking along the Meon Valley railway line.
