Fishing trips in Romsey

March 18th, 2024

Game fishing season is nearly here, making now the perfect time to start planning your River Test fishing break.

Timsburys Fishing

The Duke on The Test is in an ideal spot on the outskirts of Romsey, only a few minutes away from Timsbury Fishing. We are even offering a 10% discount on fishing breaks when you quote your Timsbury Fishing reference when booking! 

The River Test

The River Test is world famous for chalk stream fishing, and at 39 miles long offers plenty of scenic spots to settle for the day. The River Test is regarded by many as the birthplace of modern fly fishing, making it a must-visit location for fishing novices and professionals alike. 

After a long day by the river, return to The Duke on The Test for a warm, hearty meal and a few drinks in our pub, before retiring to one of our luxurious ensuite bedrooms for a restful night’s sleep - ready to head to the river again the next day! 

The Duke's Picnic Packed Lunch

During your stay, The Duke’s Picnic Packed Lunch will be available for pre-order for only £12.95. We can cater for all your dietary requirements, with a wide selection of lunchtime favourites available. To book your Hampshire fishing holiday, use our online booking system, call 01794 377500 or email sleep@thedukeonthetest.co.uk.

Testimonials

The end result of the work is a triumph; every aspect of the site and the building looks stunning and works together to make optimum use of everything there.

The Hot Smoked “Chalk Stream” Trout was simply divine and the tastiest dish I have experienced in a very long time.

The fresh food served was a perfect match for the setting; completing the experience for us on the evening, and we will be back!

What amazing place to visit. This will now be my number one go to establishment.
