Fleming Arms in Southampton

Fabulous staff. Jamie goes above and beyond. Great for family dining.

Visited on Sunday and ordered a roast and a mix it grill. After waiting for a while the food turned up but no drinks which I queried and the girl said she would look into. In the meantime I has to send my fries and onion rings back as they were cold. Eventually a lady turned up with the drinks but instead of the gin we had ordered it was rum! When my hot fries etc arrived I then pointed out to the guy that the onions and peppers on the hot plate were burnt yo be told " that's how they come"! When the manageress returned with the correct drinks I pointed out the burnt food and she was very apologetic and in fairness offered to refund the food. I was told to see her before we left. My wife's roast was also below standard, 1 slice of turkey was dried out and inedible and the stuffing basically shattered when she tried to cut it. When I went to see the manageress for the refund I was told that because I paid on the app they would have to credit the whole bill not just the food, which would take 5 days to process and then re charge me for the drinks that I had to pay for then. Needless to say 5 days later I am still waiting for my refund and as it stands I am nearly £20 out of pocket. By the way we have been here several times before and have given favorable reviews. But surprisingly, I don't think we will be going back.

The pub is spacious and has plenty of seating if you want to meet up with friends. Also good if you fancy a game of pool. Jamie served us and was both polite and friendly. Will definitely be back.

Great pub with good atmosphere. Friendly staff and fair priced alcohol.

Great experience at the Fleming arms Jamie and Emma were amazing! Will definitely be back soon

Brilliant staff and great service football and all sports showed. Emma was great serving us 👍🏼

Popped down the Fleming Arms for food and a drink today atmosphere was great staff always friendly especially kacey and Jamie ams Taylor thank you Fleming arms staff will be visiting again recommend trying any of the burgers and lamb kofta flatbread

Absolutely awful, waited an hour for my meal that never came. Upon asking the waitress where my food was I was told she would check with the kitchen. Never to return. Upon asking again we discovered another waitress hadn't even put the order through nearly 2 hours into the meal. The "chef" mad e the meal to go in an ice cream tub box. Un foiled with crap all inside it. Absolutely shocking

Honestly one of the worst experiences I’ve had going out for food the woman serving really rude when asking for cutlery was told and I quote it’s a go get it yourself pub main courses came out literally not even a minute after our starters had arrived to the table not a very welcoming and friendly experience what so ever will not be returning

Had a great experience here. All lovely staff but particularly dani in the kitchen

Kacey behind the bar smashing the whole day very polite and professional

Great service and and hospitality. Mainly kacey as she went above and beyond to make sure me and my friends had a good time

Great staff very pleasing and the sevice was quick

Loved the chicken New Yorker will definitely be back soon!

Amazing place Taylor and kacey are amazing bar staff

Kacey spot on and Taylor and Jamie

Excellent service and food ! Friendly staff . Thank you 😁

Had yet another meal at this super venue. Great food at affordable prices. Aiden served us today with his usual smile and ultra efficiency. Love it here.

Excellent service. Served by the lovely Aidan who was kind, friendly, helpful, charming and very pleasant. Could not be happier. Everyone is great. Prices are crazy cheap. I come here twice a week; must be the best pub in Britain. The Fleming Arms rules; and Aiden you are a star.

Banging night chill atmosphere good staff couldn't ask for more

Lovely pub, great staff and will defo be coming back again!

Great pub , great atmosphere. Jamie and Taylor are class at the bar. 10/10 recommend.

Dark and dingey inside lighting that dim you struggle to read the menu Table was wobbly drinks kept spilling Ordered 2 mix grills and two burger meals Both mix grills was way over done the meats was like leather the chicken breast looked like it had been cooked on a sunbed for a week The burgers was raw and pink inside still waste of money Will not be returning Update E mailed beck back as was asked to in review tried 3 times but failed to respond on all 3 occasions

Come in for a few drinks the service from Taylor Emma and Jamie was amazing, they was friendly and have great banter ! Will definitely be back very soon for my strong bow!

Popped in at opening time for some breakfast. Only one other customer in there so obviously no atmosphere. Nice staff member, good food, only problem was coffee machine was broken, my wife only drinks coffee. Apart from that, good pub to visit if your in the area.

Very disappointed with the hunters chicken I had. Only 2 onion rings. The chips were Luke warm. The chicken was over cooked and rubbery and very small. I didn’t want peas as don’t like them but it would have been nice to be given some salad instead. My daughter had a side of cheesey chips, which was a very small portion. I ordered 2 glasses of coke. That was given back as very watery. Given another 2 after coke was topped up but they still tasted odd. Took them back again and given another 2. Weren’t the best.

Very poor service waited over an hour for food and when it came food was cold this pub has very bad staffing issues and needs sorting plus the Toilets are in a very bad state and need a Re-Ferb…. Plus the garden…..

Beck greeted us with a friendly smile really felt at home really nice pub good food

Nice little family pub/restaurant

Really nice staff got greeted by beck who made us laugh. Will be back

Ordered 3 meals,allday breakfast bacon too dry could not cut the only part of the meal that was hot was the hashbrowns.fish and chips fish was warm chips nearly cold peas hard. Scampy and chips were the same Disappointed

Ordering food and drink at the bar was a bit slow, not enough staff. The staff on duty are working very hard and are kind to the customers

Wondered why we hadn't been there for a long time. Very quiet for a Saturday afternoon, we only ended up there because everywhere else was busy because Southampton was playing (football). Not worth the money. Had a breakfast £7.99, realised after the morning breakfast for the same items was only £4.99.

Came in on Friday evening. The pub needs a bit of a makeover as looks quite drab/ dirty. The little staff that they had were fantastic but under emence pressure due to lack of staffing. Only one poor lady literally running around trying to wait on all the tables by herself while apologising to all the customers! You could feel and see the stress on all staff members. Food was over an hour to come out and wasn't the best (again probably due to low staffing) Management needs to put more staff in place to ensure a smooth running of the restaurant and appreciate what little staff they have. I honestly felt really bad for them.

Cozy, nice and traditional place. Good beers, good food! Would come back!

Lovely friendly staff. Pleasant

Great service from kacey and Alicia , happy and bubbly people always a good a place to visit

dirty glasses, food was not good as it used to be, food not worth the money I paid, very small portions and they don't bring all the things you ordered I do not recommend this pub poor service

Brilliant service fantastic food and reasonable prices Adult section and family section Perfect for a quick pint Was served by Emma lovely person .

Emma was extremely friendly and patient when our payment went wrong. She took the time to make us feel welcome and like nothing was too much of a problem. The service areas were cluttered near the kitchen and seems a bit run down. But staff were fantastic!!!

Emma was professional and good fun she welcomed us from out of town northwest

We pre booked a table for Sunday lunch. But it wasn't busy, but that was OK because we wanted to have a relaxing meal. Service was very good, our roast beef lunch was tasty, as it was a lovely day we sat outside after lunch and had another drink. It was great just to sit and enjoy the sunshine. We will recommend the Flemming Arms, as it has a big car park and a great menu.

Brilliant place for a vegetarian & vegan roast. Usually a £10 Sunday deal - roast & drink!

Ordered an all day breakfast, it only filled half the plate. Good job I ordered a side order of chips, because the portion size is ridiculous. Mac cheese was small too. Hard to get a decent size meal anywhere these days.

Kacey was awesome. Food was fab, Relaxed fun atmosphere, clean and tidy, Birthday lady loved her meal out. Friendly and favourite place to eat.

Come in with my friend for a few beers the service from Jamie and Kacey was spot on lots of laughs will be back soon

Great value food & plenty of car parking spaces.

6 adults and 2 dogs had a really great experience! Food and value amazing. The lady serving called Sue could not have been more helpful and is a credit to the pub/restaurant. Highly recommend.

Actually really pleasantly surprised with how much this place has improved. Had a roast with a pint for £10 which is a bargain and the quality was great. Couldn’t have asked for a better meal really, food came quickly as well.

Kacy is amazing alway smiling and happy to help food is great!!

Had the lamb kofta flatbread cooked by John was amazing. Happy with management and new menu. Will definitely be back soon

Was a lovely experience today with the food exceptionally nice and staff very courteous will be back again thats for sure. Bernie.

Great value food, great customer service, staff friendly, great for family on a budget.

Great staff, quiet pub, Joe’s a standout employee, really welcoming, would go again!

Service 10 out 10 from jamie-lea, will be back soon

Jamie was very polite serving us and maintained a friendly manor.

Food was very nice and JOE was the guy that brought our food to the table he was a very pleasant young chap 🙂 however the chairs looked very dirty and alot of them were ripped just made the place look dirty a referb is definitely needed here

Beck is amazing the service I got was incredible need more like her!

We waited almost an hour for food. Our order had been 'missed'. The chicken was dry and flavourless, the burger was just ok.

Food took a little while to come out & wasn't as big a portion as what we had at other hungry horses but was nice none-the-less, atmosphere was a bit flat but it was Sunday lunch time. Service was ok but a smile wouldnt have gone a miss.

I was serve by Curtis he was very polite

A relaxing, friendly place, helpful, obliging staff, great choice on menu at reasonable prices, spent an enjoyable hour or two , good ambience too

Amazing service by curtis steve claire john beck and jamie-lee food was lovely as always!

A large pub with friendly staff. Plenty of space inside and out, but don't expect much atmosphere - it's a bit dark and soul-less inside, and could do with a makeover. The ales are Greene King, so not great, but even worse when I was served an off pint of Abbot. Having said that, it was changed willingly and with an apology.

Excellent service from curtis behind the bar top man thankyou

Had my mums wake there today ...food was late. Tasted awful.....service was awful .....very upsetting spent alot of money ....food tasted like most of the food had just been defrosted and served. Only food that actually tasted ok was the chicken strips Wraps we half filled Very disappointed Will not be going back there

Good selection of food with really great deals everyday, fast serving of food, big parking. Another good hungry horse pub, highly recommended!

Hadn't been to the Fleming Arms for over 30 years. Last minute decision, we booked a table for 3 adults and 1 child at 4:30 on Saturday 3rd August. Very impressed with the decor inside, very impressed with the service and super impressed with the food. Special mention to the waiter who "tactfully" asked a toddler to return to his seat.

absolutely fantastic place to eat Claire was outstanding would recommend

Lovely meal and lovely service. Claire was very helpful and really cheerful a delight to be served by her. Lorraine

We had a lovely family meal and our service was great from Claire.

Good food good service from claire especially as there was 12 of us. Also bar was short staffed but didn't affect service very polite

Food is cold and rubbish sevice takes 20 mins just too get seveice use to drink here and eat here all the time not now

Very friendly and welcoming atmosphere and staff. A special thank you to Claire (I think it was) who sought out my boyfriend who had completely forgotten his change at the bar after bringing the drinks to the table

Well not the best our reserved table was taken so we was shoved in on a small table in the middle of the back, i felt sorry for bar lady serving everyone as a staff member walked out. It was very busy 45 min wait for food which was understandable due to lack of staff. The food portion was small for two of us but our friend had a large portion, puddings was disgusting and shoved into a tiny bowl with dribbling ice cream running down the sides. Female staff member stated no other bowls until I moaned and then fetched me one, very watery and lacked fruit, also only four chunks of meat in pie with tons of gravy won't order that again in fact think it will be a long time before I consider going back, I'd rather travel to Shamblehurst barn in hedge end food and staff are much better and yes same pub chain!

The stress tonight that has a effect on are bar staff taking orders we was over whelmed we had unknown staff leaving the ssite then we had to deal with over crowded people that was rude to bar staff Claire was fantansic

Love coming to my local always have a laugh with the staff service with a smile and great selection of beers from Katy Taylor and Liam how cook my food it was lovely

Taylor has been a credit to this pub! Always pleasant and today she went out of her way to get me strawberries in my pink gin the 1st time ever this has happened I've been in here for many years. Taylor should be manager of this pub at least she treats u as a person and cares about regulars! X

Hardly any staff but they absolutely delivered excellent service! Food was really tasty and came not long after we'd ordered which was great. We were a bit early for our reservation but it wasn't a problem at all. Will come again

Korean burger was amazing cooked by Dani and John and amazing service from Jamie-Lea

Clare was fantastic - very busy Thursday 18th,July but she was so helpful under pressure and reflects superb on your establishment! Michale

Brilliant service from Claire, thank you..

Katie was really helpful and efficient with the service definitely come here again

Jamie-lea and Dani and Kacey are amazing. All staff are great, but the specifics are first :)

Amazing service from jamie-lea will definitely be back soon

Jose was a lovely lad, easy to approach. Great service clearing the table & helping with all our needs. Thank you will definitely be back

Beck and colleagues were very helpful

Nice and speedy with service, friendly and attentive.

Bec was fantastic. Very friendly Although no mushrooms or garlic bread :(

Beck was a fabulous and welcoming waitress. She is an asset to the team :)

Visited for the first time yesterday for a bday dinner. I had the 8oz steak which was quite possibly the worst piece of beef I've ever eaten. Cooked well but it was nearly impossible to cut. My partner had fish and chips which the batter was greasy. Daughter had mini mixed grill and only ate the chicken as she didn't like the texture of the sausages and the gammon was too chewy. My son ordered the build you're own tacos but was given a vegan burger instead even tho the waitress relayed the order to my partner when ordering so he had to sit and wait while we ate ours for his tacos to be made! My daughter enjoyed the kids double cheese burger and also my son enjoyed the tacos, both were good portions. Unfortunately on this experience we certainly will not be returning.

Jamie-Lea, is always very welcoming to customers and will always do her best to provide a professional and friendly service. She is a credit to your team.

Fast service with cheap (but good) food and drinks (around £11 for two drinks and two chips). Nice atmosphere, especially in the garden, and friendly staff. You get a full pint of lemonade rather than a half too!

Absolutely tasty , delicious meals , 😋 service so so , kids running around screaming 😱 shame parents not bothered.

Lovely pub. Staff are brilliant. Great atmosphere. Well priced and food is lovely. Special shoutout to Jamie-Lea service from her is 10/10.

Amazing atmosphere! Cheap beers and amazing service from Jamie-lea and Taylor.

Joe was an exceptional host, ensuring we had a booth for the football. Drinks were very quick given how busy it was!
