A gastropub near Basingstoke has been named among the best 100 gastropubs in the UK according to the Estrella Damm 2023 list.

The Purefoy Arms, in Preston Candover, was listed in 67th place as part of the 51-100 section of the list.

The Estrella Damm Gastropub Awards is created each year by an academy of several hundred judges spread throughout the UK who voted for who they think are the must-see gastropubs.

The academy is made up of food industry experts, chefs, operators, food writers, and journalists, all of whom keep a close eye on the market and the trends within.

The 51-100 section has been revealed day-by-day on the social media of Top 50 Gastropubs ahead of the release of the Top 50 on Monday, January 23.

What does The Purefoy Arms have to offer?

On its website, The Purefoy Arms says: "The Purefoy Arms is the home of ‘Pub Chef of the Year’ & 2 AA Rosette chef Gordon Stott. Experience creative cooking and a warm welcome at our tranquil Hampshire village pub."

It has also been well-received on Tripadvisor, earning a 4.5/5 rating from 287 reviews.

The Purefoy Arms has a "seasonal à la carte menu" but also offers discovery menus, vegan menus and "comforting pub classics".
