9. The Chairmakers, World's End, Waterlooville
The succulent meat, excellently cooked veg and the overall atmosphere won Dish Detective over at Chairmakers. The reviewer said: 'Nobody is obliged to eat out, and lord knows there is not much spare money knocking around for any of us at the moment, but places such as The Chairmakers make you realise how much worse off the world would be without them.'
