Delme Arms in Fareham

The Delme arms pub ticks all the right boxes, lovely food, service and great atmosphere.

Great littlle pub , hadn't been for a few years , homely Sunday roast followed by a crumble and custard, superb.

Delicious food and price is very reasonable. Went on curry night and had a superb Thai curry. Atmosphere is relaxed and friendly and the staff were fantastic.

Great service, good food, comfortable atmosphere.. no idea why we haven't been before...but we will definitely go in future.

A go to pub for ok food at very reasonable prices, especially if you are taking a dog with you. The only major drawback is parking. Since the pub is close to the town centre and offers free on street parking which can make finding a place very difficult.

Speedy, friendly service. Will visit again

Excellent service and quality food, value for money.

Nice little pub, has a cosy atmosphere with friendly and helpful staff. Always great on a cold winter day as the open fire is usual in full swing. It's got enough sport on but it's a nice mix of sport and pleasant company.

Good standard pub with nice real ale and good food

Love this pub! Friendly staff, always something every night, sports on tvs, mini beer festivals and a great friendly atmosphere. Food is good and always LOTS of it. Recently attended the curry night and the portion (curry, sundries and a drink) for under £13 is insane! A great place to go

Good pub food for very affordable prices.

Went in last Friday for a bite to eat with the wife. Place was lovely and warm, open fire. We ordered a sandwich each and a bowl of chips to share and a drink, obvs!! We had our drink and food came out. All was delicious. We had to leave some chips as I am not kidding the whole pub could of had some there was so many.

Very nice braised beef suet dumpling and roast potatoes and market veg. Where else could you get such quality food and at a very reasonable price and above all fantastic ales straight from the barrel.

Good food well priced. Lovely friendly staff.

Lovely enjoyable Christmas day beer. Madey day great. Thanks 👍

Lovely meal at a reasonable price. Staff friendly and helpful. We'll definitely visit again

Good place to meet for a drink or a meeting. Food was OK but a bit on the small size and the tuna looked like it was straight out of a tin.

Family gathering of 7 , great food, ales and service

Clean and comfortable with tasty food.

This was the first time we visited the Delme Arms. Really lovely food. It was quite busy with a couple of parties so you had to make allowances for the time it took to get our food. There was a good atmosphere. The staff were friendly and efficient. Very good value for what we paid and we will definitely visit again.

Had our dad's wake here,the staff were friendly,and the food and drink provided was top quality.

Visited The Delme Arms on the off chance for a lunch time Birthday meal with my Wife daughter and our dog, having been disappointed by another establishment! I am Gluten intolerant, and find it difficult to find somewhere that copes with me and is happy for a large dog to come with us. The Delme made my day, dogs welcome and a good choice of meals for me to eat, and even better at a very reasonable price. Staff were amazing and friendly even brining water for our dog. Overall lovely place, best meal I have eaten while being out in a very long time, nothing was too much trouble, will definitely visit again Thank You

Family of 5 really enjoyed lunch and a drink. Staff were friendly and helpful, food prompt and tasty. All well prepared.

Had my dad's wake here very good

Nice staff, good food and reasonable price, we will definitely go again

Tried this place for midweek dinner and it didn't disappoint. Fresh home made food. Lasagne was lovely and my partner had chicken burger which was tasty. The only thing we could think of that let it down slightly was that my partner asked for no salad , and a plain burger but it came with salad on the plate and mayo in the burger , but other than that , a thumbs up 👍. We will return again soon

Had a lovely wake there following a funeral . Will certainly go again for a happier occasion and have a meal.

Lovely friendly pub. Went to quiz night, very busy. Thought quiz was too slow but enjoyable. I had lasagne that looked the worst plated meal I'd had in a long time but it tasted ok. Others meals look great. Desserts were tasty. Would recommend but not the lasagne!!

Wonderful place to enjoy a meal and a drink very nice people

I really was disappointed with my food. Payment is upfront, I ordered what I usually order if I am undecided, lasagne which is a favorite of mine. The texture was dry with the pork mince added to the beef and lacked cheese sauce. Really dry and I could not eat it. I did not have any opportunity to say I did not like my meal until the end, after I paid. I was told they would mention this to the chef, I had already paid so my comments were ignored. The people and atmosphere was lovely, I really do not like establishments charging full price when a meal has been returned and no opportunity to offer an alternative meal.

Went in to celebrate not only 40 anniversary but fell on fathers day. Just me and my wife. Had the small roast had a choice of4 meats so we chose beef & tge lamb. Lovely food and then hada great pud. Would highly recommend. Fully air conditioner so nice and cool on hot days..

I'd rather pay a few pennies more for a proper pint in a real "English" pub and keep it going than give Tim Martin a bean. Not sure about the pubs football club alliegence. ... needs to be a bit more red. 😁😁😁

First class place with fabulous bar staff. The food was excellent ( fish and chips for me! ) . Great range of food on the menus at great prices. Worth going just for the chips! Very atmospheric pub so I would highly recommend the pub.

Met a couple of old friends for lunch & we all enjoyed our meals they both had the small fish and chips which for a 'small' was quite a reasonable size, the chips were of the fat type well cooked. I had the 'Doorstep' sandwich, steak, Stilton, onions & mushrooms, it was perfect the steak was cooked med-rare as requested & was so tender it could have been cut with a spoon, right amount of ingredients, tasted amazing. The selection of beers was very good, I had Proper Job straight from the barrel, clear as a bell, nice pint. Clean & tidy pub, welcomes families, kitchen open 12.00 to 2.30 then again from 5.30. Last but not least the staff, the young ladies behind the bar couldn't have done more to make three OAPs very happy customers, they laughed at some pretty awful jokes, brought out our drinks & food, smiled all the time, nothing as to much trouble. They were a credit to themselves & the pub. Some how I think we'll be back.

First time here, very happy with lunch, fish and chips cooked very well and good Portion peas and salad. Good value. Hubby had bread pudding and was very happy.

Excellent food, very prompt service. Would definitely go again

Lovely meal. Choice of large or small. Great staff. Thank you, Delme.

Great pub,several real ales in barrels , good for the six nations loads of tvs around

Food is good at reasonable prices. Have recommended many times.

Home cooked Beef Sunday Roast followed by and Apple crumble with ice cream. Very tasty. Very welcoming staff. Fair prices. The log fires kept everyone warm. Worth a visit.

Do you want to stand at the bar waiting to be served whilst the bar man stands and ignores you, chatting to another customer who isn’t even waiting to be served? But also someone who has been waiting less time than you gets served before you?! Than Delme Arms is the pub for you 👎🏻😒

Nice Pub to meet for drinks, friendly bar staff, food was really good and decently priced 👍

Go here every Wednesday for friendly and fun pub quiz. Food is available to order and is always made fresh and comes out piping hot. Good selection of mains and deserts and all are good value for money. Staff are friendly and there is a wide selection of beers on tap as well as ciders, not only well known but more local brands as well. Well worth a visit if your in the area.

First time in for a long time. Pleasant, friendly, good meal for all four of us. Good value. We will return.

Good value meal cooked to order, dog friendly, good dog biscuits, friendly staff Dan,

A nice little pub on the corner of the roundabout. It is a fairly small venue but its nice enough and there seems to be plenty of parking on the street near the pub. It was fairly busy in the restaurant area and this was a Monday but food came out quickly and of a decent quality. The only downside to the pub was the men's toilets weren't super clean but other than that it was nice.

We held my Mums wake there. Fantastic Couldn't have helped more. Thank you.

Nice cosy pub with good food at decent prices.

Great little pub with outside seating area and dog friendly. Menu looks good and reasonable prices. Revisited again yesterday Oct 16th and nothing has changed, very friendly staff and locals

Cris the Delme Stud what a legend

Lovely food ,lovely atmosphere, parking a bit tricky that is the only problem

Very nice pub good service and great food.

Lovely pub. The roast dinner was delicious I will definitely be visiting again

10/10 The staff are great and very welcoming. The pub food was good and came very quickly. lots to choose from on the menu at a great price. A very good selection of Ales I will be making this a regular event. What a great place to eat and drink

Excellent staff especially Holly. Good food especially their Whitebait.

A jolly good place. They had a good band on.

Huge range of beers th gully cooked and presented foods. Excellent range of beers. Will come back again!

Stayed over Thursday night. Really friendly staff, good value for money. The room was very comfortable. Thank you

Fabulous pub,great range of beers A really well run local pub with excellent pub grub

Very friendly pub with great choice of drinks. Had a great meal too.

Always a pleasant experience at the Delme, a hidden social gem.

Went in mid week to watch European Football... Wasn't packed thankfully so had a nice seat at the bar and a good view of one of several TV's they have. Good selection of beers. Nice and friendly bar lady... Cosy little pub.

Had lunch at the delve Arms must say was lovely and good value Well done the delve arms

Great food and service and was a lovely work lunch with the marketing team at Mercator Media

Great local pub, home cooked food and the sport , music

Very nice pub. Our first time here. The food was excellent, hot, tasty, well presented. It will not be our last visit.

Great food, amazing choice of beers and ciders. Friendly, proper pub! Thoroughly recommended!

Tuesday evenings for a drink around 2200, friendly service, quiet lounge for 3 of us to chat, nice thank you.

Good food well cooked with a good choice of beers and cider

Great pub, great value food and cater for sad old gluten intolerant weirdo's like me. Love it. Just wish it was a bit more local, I'd probably move in.

Nice place shame about the food, went midweek and 2 of us had pie and mash, the slice of pie was less than 1inch wide, not even a child's portion, when we spoke to the waitress she said our concern has been noted ,no apology, its disgraceful we Will Not be going back!!

Good food, but a disappointing selection of real ales (only 2 on offer), as I'd read that it was a decent ale pub. But, I will be back.

Food was lovely and went there for our daughters 40th birthday but it was spoilt because suddenly people appeared in with us for a wake we had to try and eat our meal with people virtually sitting on us we did not expect to be sharing a room with a wake and we have been told they do that a lot. The hospitality was very unwelcoming. They moved us so we could have desserts into the bar which was awful as the chairs were so low it was uncomfortable for eating. Because they hold wakes in the same room as people are eating meals we will not go back there although the food was lovely

Our Local... Live music... 2 meal deal lunchtimes... Best Beer festival.. Come on....!!!!

The food I'd give a 4 out of 5. Would have been a 5 out of 5, however, the wait for our dessert was over 20 minutes. When I book a meal I expect to be seated at a dining table with proper dining chairs, and there was only one dining table for four with proper dining chairs. The other tables were with easy chairs, bucket chairs, a settee, a soft arm chair and bar stools. Not ideal for eating a meal from. Whilst we were eating our meal a load of people came In and stood around our table which was rude, blocking the light out and their arses nearly on the dinner plates. They then eventually seated behind us on a long table (smaller tables put together). We then realised we were eating our meal amongst a funeral wake which was very uncomfortable. After finishing the main course I asked the bar lady if we could move to another area and she was quite abrupt. She said "I reserved you a table down there and you didn't sit at it". We said "when we arrived we spoke to the barman and we told him that we'd booked a quiet table under our name and he said 'you can sit anywhere, just not the long table ". He never told us there was a wake coming in. The table that the bar lady told us that she had reserved us, we would not have sat at anyway because i do not enjoy eating a meal sitting on a settee in a main bar with TVs playing music. When I booked, I asked for a quiet area to have our meal because it was a joint birthday meal, sitting in the main bar was not quiet because that is where we moved to in the end to eat our dessert and to be honest none of us enjoyed it due to the arrangement, and the long wait which personally i believe was deliberate. The Delme states there is a function room so where is it then? If you are holding a wake or any special event then you should block that area off so that other paying diners are not amongst it.

Friendly bar staff good food and reasonably priced.

Lovely little pub. Great selection of ales 🍺

Good food and pleasant surroundings.

Always a great place to go for a drink. A proper pub. Warm atmosphere. Neil and the team are so welcoming.

Went today for lunch, had the curry of the week....Chicken 'asian' style with coconut...have to say it was fantastic, loads of Chicken just the right amount of heat, fab flavour, came with rice a popadom and a shaped popadom filled with chutney. My first visit here and surely will not be my last. Can thoroughly recommend... busy (always a good sign!) so suggest you book to make sure you get a table. I went with a friend, already planning to take my husband next time. Prices are more than reasonable £21 for two with drinks. They run an offer of two mains for £12 during the week days for lunch...but you need to check details as we did not have this deal. Sorry but I didn't take any photos but will next time. Other dishes being served looked good portion sizes, and nicely presented. Welcoming staff, all in all a good first visit.

Fabulous - we've passed this pub so many times over years of visiting my elderly parents in Portchester. What we missed by not stopping there before! Great pub food, really friendly service, good choice of beers. Warm cosy atmosphere. Best to book a table mid-week as the two for £12 mains are amazing value & very popular. The chef is great and I totally recommend his chicken bacon & cheese dish (hunters chicken?) - but save one portion for me!

Booked a meal for my birthday in January after such good reports of the Christmas menu, but was slightly disappointed. The food was ok, no grumble, but the room was so cold I had to keep my coat on. The bar is very sport's orientated, the beer is good. If there had been more warmth, i would have given 5 stars

What a gem. Driven past this place number of times over years and eventually had lunch here . Food was excellent and variety was great. Well done chef. Staff excellent and attentive. You can tell a good place when staff appear happy . Young lady who served us at 1230 on restaurant part near bar was brilliant . Will be going again.

Great local pub. Excellent range of beers and home cooked food

Tucked away on the A27 roundabout, definitely need to make detour to visit this big than it looks Pub. Excellent food for an event on Friday. Thanks everyone ☺.

Great little pub with a good atmosphere.

Having just returned from a Christmas meal with 8 other hearty eaters, I felt compelled to congratulate the chef and staff at the Delme Arms for a job well done. Not only was the room beautifully laid out for our own group and one other large party, but we were welcomed by pleasant staff who maintained their smiles and helpfulness throughout the time we were there. The food was served promptly, hot and in good measure? Quality was good, easily providing value at £15,95 for 2 courses (3 courses available at £19,95) coffee, mints and mince pies. .All meals were ordered beforehand with a £5 deposit, so settling up was easy at little strain upon the wallet. Thankyou to all concerned for making our special occasion just that.

Good local boozer. Long may they survive !

Great pub good beer and good staff only problem now is people sitting at the bar drinking it makes it awkward to get served.

Good food. Great service. Lovely staff. Come here with damily when we meet up. Would recomend 100%

Bit noisy but pleasant staff and decent priced ales

Great pub quiz format and lovely food too! Very warm in there!

Had our grandads wake there today and the venue staff and food was excellent. Thank you

What a great local pub. Really lively and busy, especially on Premiership football afternoons/ evenings. Good selection of guest cask ales, ciders and lagers that are changed and updated regularly. Two bars, one seconds as a restaurant area, but food can be served in both. Simple, but tasty menu and Sunday lunch is a winner! There is a secure and large garden area with outdoor seating and tables, great for families. Parking is available on the road side of a residential road, there is no pub car park. Well worth a visit.

Excellent meal as usual. Good service.

Good atmosphere, excellent food and good value for money

Fabulous time at a family meal. Great pub 1st time I've been there would definitely go again .

Nice pub.. the fact they do blue moon on tap is a winner

Hello Neil What a lovely meal today. Fantastic service and the food was simply out of this world So many thanks Regards

Wow. No one warned me about the size of meal you get hot straight from the kitchen. Our first visit in 2 years and now our regular. Great food, happy, friendly staff and we can take the dog. What's not to like?
