Our Story

A thatched pub at the heart of Hatherden

Welcome

Lyndsay & the team welcome you.

The Old Bell & Crown has been the village pub in Hatherden for generations. It's a thatched building on Hatherden Lane, a few miles north-west of Andover, and it's the kind of place where everyone gets a proper welcome, from walkers and families to regulars at the bar.

The building

Beams, flagstones & three fires.

Inside, it's low beams and flagstone floors throughout. There's an inglenook fireplace and two log burners, so there's always somewhere warm to sit from autumn onwards.

There are three rooms: the main bar, a panelled restaurant, and a side bar that you reach through the car park door. Altogether we seat 94 inside.

Outside

A garden made for long lunches.

The lawn wraps all the way around the thatch, with picnic benches for about 80. The roses climb the walls in June, and on a sunny Sunday there's nowhere better.

  • Garden seating for around 80
  • Car park with 27 spaces
  • Mind the beam on the front door. There's a sign that says OUCH!

Families

Little ones very welcome.

Children are welcome. They have their own menu at £9.95, plus a mini roast on Sundays, and we can do smaller portions of most of our main dishes.
