De Havilland Arms
Situated in the heart of Elvetham Heath, just two minutes from junction 4A of the M3, the De Havilland Arms is the perfect example of a traditional pub at the heart of its local community.

Named after Geoffrey de Havilland, the British aviation innovator who, in 1912, used Fleet pond to test his revolutionary 'float planes' (Sea planes), the pub was designed to look like the farmhouse and buildings on whose land the Elvetham Heath estate was built.With a beautiful outside terrace garden and roaring log fires and oak beams inside, as well as regular events, the De Havilland Arms really is a pub for all seasons and occasions.
Services
We've been working hard over the past few months to make sure all of our delicious food dishes are just that little bit better. As well as our usual favourites like Steak & Tangle Foot Pie, Hand-Battered Fish & Chips and our famous H&W Burger, we've also got a range of tasty sandwiches and of course our delicious Sunday Roasts, which we think are the best (apart from Mum's!)
We've scoured the world to find the best drinks available. With Badger beers which have been brewed in the heart of the Dorset countryside since 1777, lagers and wines from around the world, spirits and soft drinks you're guaranteed to find something to quench your thirst or get the evening off on the right note.
One of the delights of the perfect English Country pub is that it is at the heart of it's community a place where people can come together. That's why we believe it's so important for us to give something back to our local community. Below are just a couple of things we do to help out in some small way.
Exit the M3 at Junction 4a, take the A327 exit to A3013/Farnborough (W)/Fleet. At the roundabout, take the 1st exit onto A327, follow the A327 for approximately 1 mile and at the next roundabout take the 3rd exit onto Bramshot cottages/Fleet Rd/A3013. Continue to follow A3013 for approximately 1 mile through 3 roundabouts, immediately after the third roundabout turn right onto Fleet Road, Fleet Road then turns left and becomes Elvetham Road.

Came here with my boyfriend last week.
I ordered the steak and chips (asked for medium rare) and my boyfriend ordered the fish and chips.
When the steak arrived, it was definitely not medium rare - I would say it was more rare (even more towards blue!). We had to swap meals, which was very unfortunate.
When we told the waitress, she apologised but did not do anything else which was really disappointing.
Overall, the price wasn't too bad, but the drinks seemed to have gone up in price as it was a shock for our bill to come to around £75 for just the two of us.

I’m always so impressed with the choice of food and polite service. I can thankfully guarantee a lovely time and the staff are always friendly and helpful. Prices are also reasonable. The decor and lighting is pleasant and homely, great on a winters day after a walk.

Didn't rate the food at all, full rack of ribs are the small ones, tasted like they were re-heated in a plastic wrapping. Red cabbage slaw was disgusting, more like pickled cabbage. Burger and a pint offer not advertised.
Expensive food for a chain pub.

Nice pub in the heart of Elvertham Heath. Lovely interesting decor inside with lots of knooks and crannies and a great range of ales, beers, ciders and everything else you want in a pub.
Staff were very friendly and attentive...

Good, tasty food. Decent service too. Sunday menu seems a little limited if you don't want the roast - but those look so good I won't complain.

While visiting family in Fleet we booked a table here, not knowing what to expect. We were very much surprised by how much we all enjoyed our meal and experience. The food was a much higher standard that we have experienced in a long time while eating out, but the price didn't break the bank. The servers were all very helpful and helped make decisions on the menu, particularly dessert. We wish there was a pub like this nearer to home. We will be back next time we visit.

Just wanted to say a big thanks, haven’t visited for ages but everyone we came across tonight from the man that welcomed us at the door inside to the two outdoor staff (a lady and a young boy) were just so lovely and relaxed. Food was amazing in a lovely setting for us and our two children. We will definitely be back.

Went for a meal with a group of friends. For me nothing special food OK. They messed our order up yet we were only a table of four and they were not overly busy. We ate in the bar area maybe might have been better in the restaurant. Good choice of food but it's probably brought in and cooked. My steak was tough and I like it medium rare! Tables not that clean and limited cutlery in the pots on the table. Good selection of beers and wines.
