Reviews in Hampshire

Booked a table here on a Saturday during the music festival. It was busy but we managed to eat inside as the weather was bad. We bought our friends who were staying fir the weekend and they loved it. Service was good (I ordered at the bar as it was busy) the food was delicious and there were clean plates all round. We were so relaxed that we didn’t end up seeing much of the music so it was just a charity donation in the end.. they did so well on a busy night would definitely return.

Fantastic food - tasty, well-priced, and good portions - great service, good selection of drinks, and very enjoyable live music. Nothing not to like! My partner and I are regulars here and I often take friends visiting Southampton here as well.

A very friendly pub staff always friendly & helpful, we had a good Sunday lunch & really enjoyed listening to Steve on the guitar fantastic! Great Atmosphere!

Was taken here for the first time for a birthday lunch pre booked . Very warm welcome , as we were early had a choice of where sit, drinks order taken very quickly , food choice was superb and small adjustment was made to one dish to cater for an elderly member of the group . Food arrived hot and didn’t disappoint. Portion size was bang on although as a small eater felt awful leaving such nice food . 2 of the group had desserts and they said how nice they were. Was wished a happy birthday by two members of staff and upon leaving . Would highly recommend and will be returning

Fantastic meal as always, great atmosphere and music. Absolutely love it here.

We had a Sunday roast and it was fantastic. I had beef and my wife chicken. We both could not fault the food in anyway, good quick service and excellent ales. I just needed a hammock to go to sleep in afterwards for a nap before the music began, but you can’t have everything?

Pre theatre meal booked for 4. Quite a small place with tables close together, which wasn't great when you're next to a noisy group (not the restaurant's fault). Atmosphere felt a bit hectic and short staffed. Food was really good though, carbonara, fish and chips, burger and mac and cheese, all delicious. Staff very friendly.

Having moved to the area recently we had been recommended the Chequers. We tried it yesterday and were not disappointed. We will be eating there again.

Booked a table for dinner for 2 on a Tuesday evening. Situated just up the road from the Mayflower Theatre it's in an Ideal position for a pre-theatre meal. My lasagne bore a few marks that it had been cooked a couple of times but it was still plentiful and enjoyable. My wife's carbonara looked delicious and tasted likewise. There were plenty of empty tables, service was fairly quick. There is no adjoining parking. Price was inexpensive.

Really nice pub, traditional pub food cooked really well. I would recommend the chicken in mushroom and stilton sauce as well as the homemade soup. Very friendly staff. Good beers and soft drink selection.

Friendly welcome, great service and food. Huge portions! We love the inside of the pub and there is a pretty garden. We always look forward to coming here.

Good choice of food , generous portion but roast potatoes were disappointingly soggy. Meat and accompaniment vegetables were excellent though and my wife’s tuna with prawns was excellent

Great old worldly pub with a really friendly atmosphere. The food was really amazing. Great service and happy and friendly staff. Would definitely recommend a visit.

The Sunday Roast was delicious and the staff very friendly as always. Love going bacl there. Thanks

Sunday lunch for 4, on 18/6/23. Our group enjoyed super plates of food( plus a couple of puddings; we were too full to order more!). Everything was really well cooked and presented, and the staff were brilliant. Highly recommend.

Great Pub, delicious food, good service from very friendly and welcoming people and fantastic music venue. Would highly recommend.

Lovely meal lovely atmosphere staff friendly would go again

My husbands food was lovely sticky salmon …. Mine sadly was awful …. Lasagne with probably two tablespoons of meat in it … no bechamel sauce inbetween the pasta layers it was so dry that I hardly ate any … you were busy so no check back done during meal if so I would have sent back … I can’t believe there was no sauce inbetween the layers that’s what lasagne is??? … staff were lovely but we wouldn’t return
