Eating and Drinking in Liss, Hampshire*

Liss, Hampshire Pubs, Cafes, Coffee Shops and Restaurants

Food

• Fifty Seven - this should be an award winning restaurant. At 57 Station Road. This man is more authentic and knows more about Italian food and wine than most Italians. The food will be explained to your table by a member of staff. The menu changes often so returning to find a new menu is always possible. Prices are incredibly cheap expecially when you consider that the food is fit for the Queen. They also have wine tastings and cater for events. If you like culture and enjoy excellent Italian this place is worth going a long way for. At the moment they don't open for lunch or Sundays and Mondays.
• Madhuban - top curries and I understand they make sauces for supermarkets and such like - famous nationwide!
• 57's is your gourmet stop with an Italian Feel - Station Road. Indian food - Maduban Station Road Liss also boasts a Chinese takeaway and fish and chip shop.

Pubs

• Pubs in Liss seem pretty poor to me, but you don't have to go far to find some good ones. The Hawkley Inn, two miles away is arguably the world's greatest pub, featuring regularly changing beers, good food (if a bit pricey), music every Saturday night and top grumpy landlord Al. The Harrow in Steep hasn't changed since about 1642, serves beer from the barrel and a small menu of top grub. Excellent treacle tart. The King's Head at Farncombe has great grub, good service and great value.
• Others who have written before seem to have forgotten the Temple - full of freaks - and the Drovers, err, yeah, same again actually...
• Since when has the Whistle Stop been a pub thats news to me,with the average age of customers being 55 it is more like GODS waiting room. I've been drinking in the CROSSING GATE for years and have never seen a fight yet, just a bit of friendly piss taking and if you cant take it dont give it.
• The Whistle Stop is a vilage pub that serves food, NOT a village resturant that serves beer. If you haven't tried it, DONT write about it !
• Not Brilliant here. You could try the Crossing Gates if you want to spend an evening surrounded by the local idiots. Or if u want a quiet drink you could go to the Spreadeagle (deadeagle), the only people who drink there are the staff!
• Liss pubs seem preoccupied with providing food which no one wants. There is nowhere lively. Crossing gates + Whisle stop have a younger crowd, but pity Whisle stop has closed the public bar for you guessed it a resturant !

Cafes and Coffee Shops

• For very cheap Coffee & tea go to the triangle centre in the morning. A good cuppa & a chance to find out what Mrs Smith at number 30 was doing last night!

The Knowhere Guide started out as a list of places to skateboard in the UK. It is a compilation of (unedited) information and views supplied by users like yourself. It is not a conventional tourist guide!

In most cases, the information in each section has been submitted by more than one contributor (the credits at the bottom of the page list some, but not all, of the contributors) and some of it dates back to the 1970s.

We make no claims as to the accuracy of the information in the Guide - our only purpose is to provide a forum for users to share their knowledge and opinions. So please keep a large bag of salt handy and be prepared to read between the lines!

If you disagree with a comment, or information is out of date, please submit an update! The contributors come from all walks of life, and their opinions are bound to be subjective, so if your view isn't represented, please speak up and contribute to the balance of the Guide. See below in the 'Have Your Say' section for how to add your voice.

If we have helped you out or made you laugh you can buy us a pint.
