Fishermans Haunt in Christchurch - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Horrific . Zero communication after 10pm. Whole facility shuts down.. pre paid 129£ and lost everything. Phone call around 8pm promising information regarding key and nothing Can't stress enough how bad this establishment is

Stayed for 4 nights with the dog. Very accommodating. Feeding, water bowls and dog treats provided. Room was was very clean and spacious with a large shower. Breakfasts were excellent. Evening meals very good although would have liked a smaller portion as an option. Staff were all very friendly and helpful. Would stay again.

Recently stayed one night - arrived after the kitchen closed (which is a little early) but was looked after and provided a good meal. Was up before breakfast began but again the host made sure I had coffee and cereals whilst the chef made me poached eggs. Room was also spacious and well equipped. A very good stay.

Great rooms and food....and owners so helpful and attentive.....

We stayed here for 2 nights and had such a great time. Wonderful atmosphere in the pub, such great food and super service. Rooms were really clean and nicely done. Would definitely recommend and stay again.

Went for dinner with friends who were staying in the hotel. The menu is tight one veggie, 2 fish and 5 meaty pub classics. We had a ham egg and chips and the eggs were perfectly fried and the ham thick and tasty. The fish pie had a good mix of fish and seafood with mash and cheese on top and a small side salad. The banoffee pie seemed like home made with very fresh bananas.

Thank you so much for your help Neil on the 25th. Amazing highly recommend.

Recently stayed for one evening and really enjoyed our time at the Fisherman's Haunt. It had been recommended to us by some friends and we were not disappointed. The room was spacious and looked as though it had been recently refurbished to a high quality. We had an excellent evening meal and breakfast the next morning and were served throughout our stay by the very capable Lizzie. Highly recommend the Fisherman's Haunt for any traveller looking for somewhere to stay in the Christchurch area!

We with other couples stayed for one night as we were attending a wedding nearby. On the same day my relatives booked with Booking.com at a rate of £140 we booked directly at a rate of £150! ( unbeknown to me at the time) I usually like the personal contact with the hotel and assumed, wrongly , that they would give me their best deal. The room was quite comfortable although quite dark even with the lights on and the toilet holder was loose. We booked our breakfast for 0800. There were only 4 other people in the restaurant. We had to look around for the coffee and cereal. The Full English breakfast was very poor, no mushrooms, poached eggs not soft and runny. We were not offered extra toast. The scrambled eggs with the salmon were over cooked. No toast for the marmalade. I emailed the hotel re the difference in rates and they declined a refund but offered a £10 voucher. Which of course I declined as we will not be staying again. We did receive an email asking us to book directly with them to get the best room rate !! On a positive note it was very quiet and we slept very well.

Stayed for a wedding nearby. Greeted by hotel manager who was super friendly. Great hotel and staff.

Great location as i have lived in this area for more than 30 years but go into this place some many times, recently noticed it`s very quiet then checked my bill, if you eat there outside like any normal pub they charge you a 10% service charge for pub food, probably explains ones of the reasons they are quiet in pub. Why do places think it is acceptable to charge a service charge that is set, it`s up to customers, when will these owners learn!! Won`t be going back, try the New Queen down the road.

Excellent all round! Made to feel welcome from check in to check out. Excellent pint of London Pride, great fish pie, marvellous breakfast and amazing breakfast coffee

Visited the Fisherman’s Haunt for an evening meal with friends. The oval table in the restaurant was ideal for our party of 6, and all the tables were spaced sensibly so that it didn’t feel over-populated. The service was polite and attentive and the food extremely good, with the dishes well presented and evidently not pre-packaged or frozen. We regularly dine out around the New Forest as a group and this was definitely one of our better experiences. Excellent value for money!

Had a one stay and have to say it was a lovely place to stay, comfortable bed and very nice shower, staff were lovely and friendly. The breakfast also was delicious, great location as well to visit the coast

My friend and I stopped at this lovely pub for a light lunch. We received a lovely warm welcome from the owner. The pub is beautifully arranged with lots of seating in various sections, including outdoor sittings both in front and back of the pub. The food was delicious and well presented and the coffee was very good. It's a lovely pub that no doubt we'll revisit next time we're in the area. We didn't stay in the hotel next door, however it looked lovely, lots of parking space, grassy area and picnic tables.

Room was small and the bed was very squeaky with every small movement, not particularly comfortable and poor sleep due to the noise! Steps leading to the rooms are extremely steep and I stumbled on them a few times. Staff were polite but often absent, the food was good.

Having stayed on several previous occasions decided to book a late stay. Didn’t have a problem with our room. Exceptionally clean and comfortable, fresh towels and room cleaned each day. When it came to breakfast this left something to be desired. On previous occasions great choices of fruit, yoghurt and cooked breakfast. This time over cooked scrambled eggs, greasy bacon and mushrooms. Just had cereal (not much choice) and toast next day. Third morning decided to go to Mudeford beach for excellent breakfast. Very disappointed.

Room was in an annex to the pub and was clean and quiet.Both bed and shower were excellent.Food and staff were good especially the guy serving us breakfast.They made our little dog very welcome so would definitely recommend.

Excellent food and service. We had the Sunday Roast, mine was the vegetarian option I can honestly say it was the best I have ever had, it was so tasty and well presented. My partner had the Roast chicken, which was of an equal standard. We cannot wait to return. Thank you. Penny and Ian. P.Wade.

Drinks only. Location is good except fairly busy road close! Interior decor, layout, service, parking all excellent. Would definitely recommend and visit again.

We stayed here for 2 nights for a wedding at Sopley Mill. The room was very comfortable with an amazing shower. The food was great and the staff were lovely. Would definitely recommend.

The hotel was excellent a very good base for the area. The staff were friendly and attentive and the food was excellent especially the breakfast's. We would certainly return.

Fantastic place for a break, exellent access to Hampshire and Dorset attractions. My wife and I stayed at The Fishermans Haunt for a 4 night break. As soon as we walked in, we were met with a beaming smile from Lizzie, who was so helpful and welcoming. We decided to have Sunday lunch, as we had travelled from Kent, and experienced some traffic problems. Sunday roast was delicious, extra gravy was asked for, which came up staright away, without any fuss. I met Neil, when I checked in, he carried both cases from my car to our room, which I might add was a charming contemporary / period room, with everything you could need, and it was air conditioned too. The bed was extremely comfortable. We enjoyed breakfast each day, and had a wonderful dinner on Wednesday evening, with a bottle of Pinot Grigio, prices are very competitive, service is most exceptional, and enhances any meal. We will return, and wouldnt hesitate to recommend anyone to stay at The Fishermans Haunt. Well dome and thank you, Neil, Lizzie, Gavin, and not least, Laoise. Thank you for your perfect and warm hospitality. Les Homewood.

Very disappointing Sunday lunch. Small overcooked portions and considering the price the lunch was dreadful. They then had the nerve to chage £9 'for service'. Won't be returning.

So have been here recently for an evening meal with friends which was lovely so recommended to family to go for Sunday lunch which was a huge mistake. Never seen gravy that colour or thickness and had an odd flavor, parsnips were black food was only just warm, chicken not breast appeared to be thighs. Veg option cauliflower was so hard. 2 of the party had fish and chips which were fine . Interesting not once did anyone ask how our food was or ask if we wanted dessert. Such a shame as will now not return.

So disapointed. We come here often in the summer as its a nice bike ride so thought we'd try a quick Monday dinner as we've eaten here last year. Really average/basic food, on par with a greasy spoon cafe. Fish and chips with 'scraps' =no scraps. Asked for my eggs over easy and they came snotty. Just really annoyed we chose here when The Crown up the road is much better food. To add insult the automatic service charge!! For very little service. Then as we were leaving the only exit 4/5 people stood right in the doorway smoking . These were members of staff! Only option to walk through the disgusting wafts of smoke. Definitely won't be returning in a hurry.

The Fishermen's Haunt went for a Sunday lunch and had the Sirlin Beef Roast, which was £20.95. The sticky Toffee Pudding with ice cream was £7.95. The food was a bit expensive, but the quality and the service were excellent. Lizzy asked me if everything was alright, and I said I could do with a few more roast potatoes and low and behold. I got a little dish with 4 more duck fat roast potatoes appeared. That's what I call service. The Amstel lagar and lime was £5.50. Nice clean lavatories with a hook on the back of the door. Good pub, has good reviews on rooms as well, nice area in Winkton on Salisbury Road Christchurch.

Had a great overnight stay at this lovely hotel. First impressions upon telephoning them were very good - Gavin was very friendly and helpful and when I arrived check in was easy, my room was very comfortable and beautifully decorated. The bed was super comfortable with lovely cotton sheets.... everything I needed in the room was provided...I ate dinner in the evening there which was tasty and fairly good value (think most food now these days have gone up significantly since Covid); The standard of service was very good and the hosts were very hospitable. Breakfast was included and I had a sumptuous Full English Breakfast - the lady working that shift was friendly and attentive. All in all a great stay, serviced by great staff. Thank you.... I would definitely return and recommend.

A very friendly welcoming staff who were really accommodating in assisting guests with all aspects of ensuring they enjoyed their experience of staying here.

Absolutely lovely. Great value for money. Superb staff. Good food. Rooms great with everything you needed in it. Booking again for another long weekend. Great location as well.

We had a selection from their starters/sides/bar menu, affordable and very tasty, excellent service and lovely surroundings.

Booked two rooms during 1/2 term whilst on route home. Helpful on the phone, lovely staff on arrival and super rooms. Treated the kids really well, lovely evening meal and a delicious pint of London Pride. Dog loved it.

Catered very well for a large group (19 of us). Food and service excellent. Thanks very much!

Decent enough food, friendly service.

Let me start on a positive. The food was delicious 5 stars. The staff were all so helpful and friendly. The room was so clean and stylish.All really positive. The only big negative we were in room 6. When I say we heard every step the room above made. From every toilet flush. To every time they walked across the room.There Tv.And the 7am alarm they had set and then the repeat alarm to 7.30am on a Sunday. I understand why you have wooden floors as it’s dog friendly. But you should have carpet in a room above. That would really help with the noise. Just thought you may want to know this for your future guests. Like I said such a shame because you ticked lots of box’s. Just a shame we didn’t sleep well at all. Hope you find this email helpful.

Had a lovely impromptu stay on Saturday with my 3 children and 2 dogs. Made to feel very welcome, nothing was too much trouble. Friendly staff, lovely food, relaxed atmosphere. Thank you ☺️

Stayed here on Wednesday night and it was such a lovely stay, the room was beautifully presented and the staff were super friendly and welcoming. Breakfast was delicious and had everything and more available. I chose poached eggs with my breakfast and they were cooked to perfection. Couldn’t rate this place enough and value for money was excellent, I would recommend this place and will definitely be staying here again.

Lovely pub with rooms. Stayed one night in the Coach House, which was lovely. Nicely decorated and cosy. Breakfast was excellent, good choice and quality. Would stay again. Only comment would be the water pressure in the room, but shower great as it had a power shower pump. Thanks for a lovely stay. Good luck with your business, you have a great product!

I went on a Monday evening with a friend, we both enjoyed our meals, helpful, friendly service. Good pint of London Pride too. Menu was a bit limited, another vegetarian option would have been good, maybe a pasta dish.

Went with friends and stayed for a few nights. Arrived on a Sunday and ordered the roast dinner ..best Sunday roast ever had in a pub. Rooms warm and comfortable, staff friendly and accommodating. Ideal spot for exploring New Forest and nearby beaches. Totally recommend.w

Had a very enjoyable 2 days stay with friends. A very warm welcome and a fun bar area. Good food and service. Lovely clean rooms.

This place is transformed with the 2 new chefs. We came for Sunday lunch as a family group. The roast dinner was excellent, crispy roast potatoes, perfectly cooked vegetables & amazing Yorkshire puddings. Everyone commented how good the quality was. Great service too. We’ll be back

On arrival made very welcome as we were taken to our room, which was clean, large and comfortable with its own front door, tea and coffee making facilities, it was very warm and cosy. Bar and restaurant staff were exceptional. Food was excellent food locally sourced. The hosts were amazing, and honoured our booking as we sadly couldn't go in September as we had covid. Definitely recommend anyone to go, will be back for sure x

Had an outstanding venison stew here yesterday. Delightful service too. Spotless loos. Pity the interior is so lacking in charm - hard surfaces, clattery environment, rather intrusive poppy music - but I'd put up with all that for another helping of that fabulous stew!

Comfortable room, friendly and welcoming staff. The breakfast included in the room rate was outstanding 👌 All in all a very enjoyable stay !

Unfortunately I cannot review the food, it never actually made it to the table !!! We decided to stop here for lunch. We arrived about 1pm, the pub was empty having only approximately half a dozen people inside. We ordered our drinks , which arrived after about 10 minutes, at which time we ordered lunch - 2 toastie’s and sausage and mash. After another 40 minutes I enquired as to how long our lunch would be. I was told it was just coming. 20 minutes later, and still with no food I paid for our drinks and we left. As I said I cannot comment on the food, the lady who took for the drinks was very apologetic, but the service for an empty pub at lunchtime was atrocious. I hope if you try here, you at least get to eat! I certainly won’t be going back here again.

Passing pub en route back to Bournemouth on a weekend trip and stopped for lunch. Traditional English country pub decor. Wasn’t very busy but welcoming and bar menu or a separate restaurant area. Belly of pork was delicious in an unctuous gravy. Sandwiches substantial. Glad we stopped. Nice lunch. Also a hotel as well..good location for Bournemouth and surrounding countryside. Very good.

Been once before and had the best experience, took my sister and my son out for lunch and thought we would venture here again as were left so pleased last time. Fairly empty for a Friday lunch but a few drinkers in the garden. Was given a very small lunch menu with limited options with little to none hot meals apart from chips.. however the kids Menu looked more appealing. Ordered a kids burger, chicken sandwich and ham and cheese and 2 pints of Pepsi which I’m total came to about £43 total for sandwiches… took a sip out my glass to find the whole Rim covered in old lipstick from the person before, my sons burger was completely inedible, the bun was stale (couldn’t cut through it) the burger looked questionable and wouldn’t take the risk. My sandwich came out burnt to a crisp and could taste nothing but burnt toast. The chips were basic to say the least but by far the best. Took both back and asked for a refund while the last sandwich came out looking half decent. For nearly £50 spent, nearly a whole refund which still hasn’t come through after the manager saying “it will take a couple hours” and then leaving very hungry and disappointed. We both work in hospitality and understand standards and also understand how hard it can be. But a very quiet afternoon, an unreasonable amount of money and slow service we won’t be returning! My last point, always take your receipts as the menu price of sandwiches was less than what you are actually paying!

Stayed for short break. Our room was in the Coach House and was very comfortable. Extra large double bed, lovely bath towels and super shower. We arrived on a Sunday and ate in restaurant (one of the best roasts we’ve ever had). Breakfast was varied with a very good choice. Room, food, staff were great. I would highly recommend.

Have not been to this restaurant for a while. We enjoyed a Sunday Lunch. It was all that it should be, a bit over priced but ok.

Dropped in here for lunch. Friendly staff, good Fullers beer, warm log fire and a fish and chip offer to include a drink! Fish large and crispy with good chips. Not been here for a few years but will definitely return.

This is the second time I've been here and the food isn't great! I ordered gnocchi, my partner ordered fish pie, my grandson a kids pasta and my daughter fish and chips..My gnocchi was bland ,hard and tasteless, my Partners fish pie was the thinnest fish pie I've ever seen about 1 inch thick and more potato than fish..my grandsons was cold and such a small portion.. The only meal that was remotely value for money was the fish and chips! Such a shame this used to be a really nice place to eat. Such a contrast to the sister restaurant in the same village

Extremely comfortable stay in the coachouse room. Well appointed room and lovely bedding / thick towels. Will stay again

Great food, great staff, great atmosphere. Visited yesterday Sunday 2/10 the four of us had a lovely time try the roasts, fabulous plenty of good quality meat I had turkey and my son had beef lots of other choices on the menu too. We weren’t hurried had a laugh with the staff, a lovely afternoon, try it you won’t be disappointed! A big thank you to all staff

We recently stayed for a couple of nights as a short break away. The hotel is very smart and our room in the Coach house was perfect for our needs. The breakfasts we had were very good and served by a very pleasant young lady, sorry I don't have her name. We would stay again.

Stopped here on the way back from the beach, lovely garden with welcome shade umbrellas, great food and well kept real ales. (Fullers London Pride & Gales HSB at time of visiting) Friendly staff, had an interesting conversation about mathematics with a staff member. Lovely old world interior. Another Fullers gem outside of the capital.

A beautiful pub, was heading back home to Wiltshire.The beef roasts were top notch and the pudding my daughter had looked amazing.

I attended the pub under the old management, it was a very disappointing experience which i highlighted with a review, full credit to the manager at the time and fullers they offered me a complimentary meal which i took advantage of recently, Jenny the new...

After visiting a couple of other pub restaurants in the local area, about 7:30 mid-week in the school holidays: The Queens Head who weren’t serving food, The Burley Inn which appeared very run down, The Crown at Bransgore who also weren’t serving food as they’d...

Stopped for one night when working in the area, helpful friendly staff and great food, comfy and clean, would recommend

We had a lovely visit to the fisherman’s haunt. The food was delicious. Our server Pedro was fantastic and so helpful. Definitely recommend this restaurant.

A date night meal not to be repeated. Alarm bells start ringing when you walk into a pub restaurant at 6:30 on a Saturday evening and you’re the only diners. I ordered rump steak medium rare and what arrived was the chewiest, grisliest, rare steak...

Nice pub with good food and excellent service but beware ‘London’ drink prices. Neck Oil £6 pint. NZ Sauvignon Blanc £10 large glass.
