Avenue 141 in Fareham

Excellent food and service, Christmas lunch. Lovely welcome, very friendly 😊

Go here often as it is usually very good so decided to take some friends along for the experience. Firstly the greeting at the door was not what we expected, the students stood inside , no greeting , no door opened , no coats taken. Water poured at table 3 glasses filled one with a quarter of water as non left , didn't return with anymore. A non interested student managed to take the order but came back as didn't remember it.ordered drinks , waited , and waited, first course delivered no drinks , eventually asked for them again , we managed to get served by a other non interested student no interaction , not a word spoken the teacher did manage to give helping bottleee opening ! The service and how it was presented was diabolical,.most of the crockery/ cutlery was plonked on the table in an disinterested manner almost thrown down .We were most surprised that the teacher in charge didn't check once what was happening, no interaction with student, never asked once if everything was o k ,or checked their performance which in our minds is the whole object as us as customers expect in the help of these students going forward with their chosen career's..We noticed that the bread should have been served with a pre starter we asked what this would have been ..and was told a fishcake and did we want it now ,this was offered prior to our pudding being served!!!! The whole experience was laughable which is what we did, .we were so dismayed had it not been a student restaurant we would have complained bitterly and walked out.We believe the responsibility was down to the teacher who did very little in guiding, teaching, observing and pointing our particular student in the right direction. His manner was atrocious no concept at all of customer care or hospitality. Lax approach, had we not had a sense of humour our night would have been a disaster. No one said goodnight , or a thank you is this not included in hospitality or even good manners? Come on these students need teaching the basics , how to present themselves they are in the public eye and need to learn a great deal from the very beginning of their training. The food was good.

Great place for the young learners to practice their future skills. Really enjoyed our dinner experience

We went for a group booking with old comrades. It was signposted and easy to find. While it isn't fancy, it is modern and fresh. Though most of the staff are trainees (it's a college), they were very polite and professional, giving a very good level of service. They had a decent selection of drinks to accompany an excellent meal. The emphasis is on quality not quantity, so if you eat a lot you may be disappointed, however, the portions easily satisfied all (I think) of our large group of over 50s. Not a complaint among us. Would definitely eat here again, and would prefer it over many other 'posh' and not so posh restaurants I've eaten at.

Experienced the Cruise Night fine dining. Really wonderful food and service from the students. It's not often I am driven to review a restaurant, but in this case, the experience was something very special. Thank you.

I came with my partner as we are ex hotel students. Service was professional and the atmosphere cosy as there were groups. Food was good too. Definetly good value for money. I highly recommend.

Friends invited me - had zero to low expectations but was totally blown away by the sheer quality of the food. Sure, the staff are young and a tad awkward at times (which is why they’re learning) but in terms of each plate, what they put out is first class and hours later, still feel good about the evening.

Excellent service and good food.

Very hard to get a booking, but worth the wait

Student training establishment, silver service. Well run, professional, friendly. They deserve a 5 star rating, hard working, high standards, caring and the meals superb...best in the area for sure.

That student Luke Mee is outstanding he should be lvl 4 so make a level 4 just for him

It was the most amazing experience. The ambience is very relaxing & quiet. The staff are wonderful & very professional senior staff are not intrusive. And the food. Well. There are not enough positive superlatives to express how I feel about the food! Just simply.. ...wow!!

Brilliant training establishment for fine dining and excellent service

Excellent value. Interesting tasty food, very smooth service.

Outstanding food and service from very talented staff. Well worth a visit if you have not been yet

Absolutely lovely Christmas meal here, couldn't fault it- or the excellent service!

Best restaurant in Fareham if not in Hampshire Fine dinning, silver service restaurant run by the students of the college They are extremely enthusiastic, polite and keen. Food is perfectly cooked and presented. Really tasty and full of flavour You need to book in advance to get a table. Highly recommend

Absolutely gross. Don’t recommend. Worst food I’ve ever had.

Good food presented and cooked by students. Interesting menus. Reasonably priced. Only negative is the slightly sterile atmosphere.

Very nice meal, service for desserts and coffee was slow and the coffee wasn't hot, but new was brought when asked. On the whole good lunch. Number of diners - 12.

Professional Training with Merit.

Have eaten here many times and the food and service are always excellent. However, last night's 3rd year student"s menu was exceptional. Apart from the perfect food, the service and front of house were brilliant. Thank you all for a lovely evening. You are all a credit to the college. Looking forward to my next visit.

Situated at Fareham college this is the student training restaurant. It's so good and elk worth a visit. Very popular so booking is a must

First class food. Very reasonable prices and beautifully presented

Have now eaten here twice and have been really impressed by the young and enthusiastic staff, both front of house and from the kitchen. Avenue 141 is basically a catering school within Fareham college where the students get chance to put there skills, learnt in college into practice. And I have to say they are a credit to the college and themselves. Meals and wine are very reasonable,some would say cheap, but the quality is high. Give it a try.

I attended a private function with my local RN Association to celebrate a n Naval tradition of Pickle Night this evening (7/11). The 3 course menu was unbelievable and cooked & served to the highest of standards. The students both front of house and chefs produced a truly magnificent meal & service. I would not hesitate to recommend this venue.

Really lovely, enjoyed the food . Well done everyone

Great ambiance, superb food, excellent service.

An amazing restaurant that's run by the staff and students at Fareham College. The food is of a really high standard and the staff are friendly and efficient. The duck main was delicious (fell off the bone). Great value for money and it's a great opportunity for the students to showcase their talents.

Lovely food Good service Comfortable environment Excellent value

My husband and I had lunch at Avenue 141 today for his birthday It was delightful. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. The staff were so professional and it was lovely to enjoy a meal there. We will certainly be eating there again .

This is a restaurant attached to Fareham College to train students in all aspects of hospitality. The food was of the highest standard and professionally served.
