The Selborne Arms is the perfect example of a traditional English village pub with all it’s original features.

Roaring Log Fires offer a warm welcome in the colder months, while a huge garden with separate children’s play area and wishing well barbecue are there to be enjoyed!

With three very different rooms, you can tailor your visit to match your mood; whether you want an informal meal in one of the bars, or a more formal experience in the newly refurbished Dining Room. In the Dining Room, the absence of tablecloths sustains a rustic undertone, while the presence of rectangular side plates and highly polished wine glasses upholds a stylish theme. The table layout is spacious, ensuring privacy and an intimate dining experience.
Owners Nick and Hayley Carter have been at the pub since January 2001, and have established an excellent reputation for the exquisite food and drink, the friendly, welcoming atmosphere and the occasional fun party with live music!
Chef Nick sources local, seasonal produce to create a menu which offers traditional and creative dishes side by side. As members of Hampshire Fare, the couple are keen to support the local area and offer the whole range of Mr Whitehead’s ciders, made in the village, top quality real ales from the many local breweries, and wine from Priors Dean features alongside the extensive wine list.
With a keen interest in the village and village life, Hayley is also on Selborne Parish Council and is involved in several projects to continually improve this, Hampshire’s Village of the Year 2006. She is also one of the organisers of the now well-established ‘Zig Zag Fest’; Selborne’s Annual Beer and Wine Festival.

Located at the foot of the famous Zig Zag Path, carved by Naturalist and author of the book, The Natural History of Selborne, Gilbert White, the Selborne Arms is the perfect place to start or end many popular walks in this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). Jane Austen’s House is also only a couple of miles away in neighbouring Chawton.
