The Yew Tree

Let's show our support for small businesses! I absolutely love leaving glowing reviews and championing small establishments. Recently, I discovered what I can confidently call the best pub in my experience! The lovely owners, Matt and Jas, are truly remarkable. Matt has been cooking for over 30 years, starting his culinary journey at the Ritz in London before embarking on an adventure around the world. Meanwhile, Jas has been managing front-of-house operations internationally for over two decades, bringing incredible expertise to the table. They opened an amazing pub called The Yew Tree, nestled in the picturesque village of Lower Wield. It’s just a 20-minute drive from Alton, Basingstoke, and Winchester, and only 10 minutes from Four Marks. Trust me, the food is absolutely delicious, and their wine selection is superb! If you’re looking for a cozy spot to enjoy great food and company, The Yew Tree is a must-visit!

Had a lovely lunch at The Yew Tree on Saturday, the pub was nestled in a fold of the Hampshire Countryside. The ambience was relaxed, attentive service and great food. The prawns had a lovely garlic butter sauce, I had the flaked shepards pie and my wife had the Fig and Goats cheese salad. All three courses were great and I had a pint of Hawkstone. We will be back!

Excellent place to eat and drink. The team is helpful and pleasant. The food is delicious. It's one of my favorite pubs.

We had a delightful family lunch at this characteristic pub and couldn't have been happier! As a family of three with a small child, we truly appreciated the warm and welcoming atmosphere. The food was absolutely delicious – classic pub fare done right, with every dish tasting incredibly fresh and flavorful. We loved the cozy, traditional feel of the place, especially the small windows and low lighting, which added so much character. It's the perfect spot for a relaxed and tasty meal out!

Absolute gem of a country pub set in beautiful countryside. The team working there are all friendly and welcoming as is the management. The food is delicious, my husband loved the three sausages with mash and gravy and the calamari was also really tasty. Highly recommended.

A bit off the beaten track but worth a visit. Went for lunch today with friends, food was fantastic, staff were so attentive, wonderful atmosphere. Such a beautiful old English pub. Very relaxing time. I would highly recommend.

Fantastic country pub. Great selection of drinks including local beers and ciders.

Best roast! I recently had the pleasure of visiting The Yew Tree in Aylesford, near Hampshire, and I must say, it was one of the best roast dinners I’ve ever had. This charming pub excels in every aspect, from the warm, welcoming atmosphere to the truly outstanding food. The highlight, of course, was the roast dinner. The variety of meats on offer—chicken, lamb, and beef—ensures there’s something for everyone. I chose the lamb, which was tender, perfectly cooked, and served in a generous portion, far exceeding my expectations. The inclusion of sprouts, often overlooked in many roasts, was a delightful touch and prepared to perfection. The free cauliflower cheese was the cherry on top, adding a creamy, cheesy element to the meal without an additional charge—a rare and appreciated bonus. What sets The Yew Tree apart is the excellent balance of quality and quantity. Each plate is hearty, satisfying, and made with evident care. The roast is paired with crispy roast potatoes, rich gravy, and fresh vegetables, completing the experience beautifully. Overall, The Yew Tree delivers a flawless roast dinner, earning a well-deserved 10 out of 10. If you’re in the area, this is a must-visit for any roast lover!

This has to be in the top 5 best pubs in the UK! Truly exceptional drink, food and service. I would be going here more often if I lived more local to it. It's a little tricky to get to, narrow country roads, etc, but we'll worth it. If you wanting to eat I would advise booking and this place gets busy from the second it opens. Caters to all, especially families and has a wonderful garden and patio. Tim Gray is the landlord of this gem and is hands-on and welcoming. You will not regret visit this amazing pub.
