The Brushmakers Arms is a country pub at 2 Shoe Lane in the Hampshire village of Upham. Run by Nicky and Reece, it offers a warm local atmosphere for lunch and dinner and provides a natural stopping point for walkers and cyclists exploring the nearby countryside.
Home cooking and responsible local sourcing shape an ever-changing menu. The pub is associated with Hampshire Fare and makes use of regional ingredients, allowing seafood, meat, vegetables and seasonal produce to guide the dishes rather than relying on a fixed list throughout the year.
Its black pudding Scotch egg is a noted lunchtime favourite, while sample menus have included oysters, cured trout, steak and ale pie, beer-battered fish, dry-aged steak and vegetable gnocchi. Children’s portions are available, and meat-free dishes receive the same seasonal treatment as the rest of the menu.
Local drinks and well-kept pub staples accompany the food, with booking recommended at weekends because the small village venue can become busy. Guests should check the current service hours before travelling, and anyone with allergies should discuss the day’s ingredients and preparation with staff.
Address: 2 Shoe Lane, Upham, Hampshire SO32 1JJ, England
