The Ox Brasserie - Test Valley

We had planned a nice quite meal out .. got a table for 2, yet 5 mins after our arrival a group of women (I won’t say ladies) arrived. We over heard one say to the staff as they came in “ see we said we were loud “ to say we were wishing them to be the other side of the building is an understatement, but no, table next to us.. one of the women could have commentated Wimbledon without a Mike. Then if this was not bad enough another group came in, all women.. and sat other side of us.. AND knew the 1st group.. it got to the point that we had to stop talking because it was impossible to hear ourselves think, let alone each other. Now I know people like to enjoy themselves but this is a restaurant not a pub or a bar, and was 1830 so not even time to be off your face.. even though that’s still not an excuse to be a loud. Both tables each side of us got louder and louder.. to the point that we stuffed our food down and left .. “ well I do hope both these groups had a fab eve because they ruined our’s “

No longer in North Baddesley as they have moved to Romsey. Now Raja Indian wef Sept 2023. Tried the Indian tonight. We all thought it was excellent

Lovely friendly staff, great food and a nice experience. Will definitely be back and would highly recommend visiting

Absolutely amazing place! Staff were really polite and friendly, but when it comes to the food... On a whole new level. Absolutely amazing taste, quickly delivered. I could not have asked for a better experience for a dinner with my girl and my son

A family meal for 9 people, the food and service was really good. Everyone enjoyed their meal. We thought it was very reasonably priced too for a nice Italian, when you compare the prices pubs charge for normal pub grub
