Fishing on The Test

Romsey sits on the banks of the sleepy River Test. The Test is a 39-mile chalk stream known across the globe for its excellent fishing opportunities between May and October. Trout is the star of the show, especially brown trout, but you can fish for rainbow trout, blue trout, and grayling on the Test, too.

For fishing experiences on the Test, we recommend:

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.
