About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
  • Neighbourhood gem
Layton’s is a chef-led restaurant in the heart of Stockbridge, created by Paul Layton after more than 30 years in professional kitchens.

Set inside a characterful Hampshire building with low beams, navy walls adorned with art and photography, it’s warm, relaxed and full of personality. There’s also a garden, perfect for when the weather’s on your side.

The menu is built around bold small plates, fresh seafood and sourdough pizzas, designed to be enjoyed your way. Expect dishes like chicken katsu, hot and sour Thai beef, monkfish tacos and regularly changing specials.

It’s the kind of place where you can settle in, order a few dishes, add more as you go, and take your time.

    We had a lovely time at Layton's. The staff were very welcoming and friendly. We went for the small plates and the food came out very quickly and the portions were a good size for small plates, easily shareable for two people. We enjoyed every dish we had. Their wine list is very well put together with some excellent choices and most wines are available by the glass. While it was our first visit, we will definitely be going back!

    My husband and I went here for lunch for the first time and we both thought the food was excellent. Their menu with the option of small plates is such a great idea. Usually when we go out for a meal we struggle to decide as there's more than one option we'd like, but here you can have more than one! The quality and presentation was superb. We can't wait to go there again!

    Absolutely delicious Sunday roast at Layton’s! The roast beef was divine, the roast potatoes and Yorkshire pudding were spot on, and the cauliflower cheese and gravy were amazing! Even better, all the sides were included in the price. Finished off with a gorgeous cheeseboard. Lovely atmosphere, fantastic attentive staff and couldn’t fault a thing. Genuinely one of the best Sunday lunches we’ve had in a long time. Would highly recommend Layton’s, definitely worth a visit and we’ll certainly be back!

    Hi Leah, thank you so much for this wonderful review. We’re thrilled the roast beef, Yorkshires & cauliflower cheese hit the spot (and that you saved room for the cheeseboard!). Hearing it was one of the best Sundays lunches you’ve had in a long time means the world to us. We’ll see you back very soon.

    Lovely selection of interesting 'small plates', 3 plates between 2 people gives a good lunch. Highly recommend.

    Expensive & a most bizarre menu. A bit all over the place. Intriguing for some perhaps. The food was ok but not exceptional. Interesting to try once, as we did, but we wouldn't go back.
    Layton'sResponded 5 days ago
    Hi Bridget, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, & for visiting us for lunch. We’re glad you enjoyed the service, & we’re sorry the menu & value weren’t quite right for you. We love a menu of small plates & sharing dishes, but we know it isn’t for everyone. We’ll share your comments with the team, & if you’d like to tell us more, please email us, you’ll find our address on our website. You’d be very welcome back any time.

    Fish dishes at Laytons are outstanding - perfectly cooked, well presented, just the right size and utterly delicious - the bouillabaisse, crab, and hake in particular. Meat dishes are less impressive. Staff are lovely and very helpful. Good wine list. As a beer lover, my one quibble is that it would be great if they had a local draft bitter.
    Layton'sResponded on 28 October 2026
    Hi Richard, thank you so much for such a thoughtful review, & for your kind words about our fish dishes. We’re delighted the crab & hake went down so well, & it’s lovely to hear the team looked after you. Thank you too for your honest feedback on the meat dishes & the draft bitter. We’ve passed both on to Paul & the team, as it’s really helpful to hear what you’d like to see. We hope to welcome you back soon.

    We as a couple had Table 6, which is a bit of a pain, with to and throw traffic. Especially with the old moving floorboards. But, beyond that... all good, lovely lunch. Thanks
