Great pie! But… duo roast was a bit hit & miss. Cauli cheese, parsnips & beef were fine but the “turkey” wasn’t quite right and most of the roasties were underdone and cold in the centre, which was v disappointing. We’d ordered a bottle of white wine to drink with our meal…it wasn’t chilled so staff put it in a cool container but that didn’t work . They then took it and put in freezer but we wanted it with our food and ended up drinking it after our meal. However, the young man waiting on our table was v apologetic and organised a refund for the two duo roasts. He was very pleasant and did a very good job. Probably won’t return tho’ …sadly.

We decided to try out the steak offer at the Red Rover last night, as my partner works in Salisbury and drives past every day. The establishment itself looked very nice, nice decor and a nice atmosphere inside. We saw a gentleman in the bar and he led us to our seats. We had pre booked, as we didn't know what to expect, but we could see we hadn't need to, as the restaurant was empty. We sat down and looked at the menu. Nothing fancy, what you would expect from an average Greene King. We ordered our on the app and then waited. We ordered 3 steaks and a burger. The food came relatively quickly, not surprising really because it was quiet. The steak looked average, nothing to write home about, the presentation was poor, but what really stood out was the chips, or should I say lack of chips. Normally when you go to Greene King the plate is laden with chips and then the steak is tucked to one side, I think I counted 10 chips. It looked really poor and everyone commented on their portion of chips. Not a massive thing, in the grand scheme of life, but obviously noticeable. We waited for our drinks to arrive, and tucked in to the meal. We waited, and we waited, they didn't arrive. In the end I had to get up and go and find someone. I complained about the drinks, and the lady said she we check it out. A few minutes later they arrived. Apparently the ticket machine which prints the orders ran out of paper. Again not a big thing, but my pet hate is having to get up at a restaurant to try and find someone it really grates on me. I just want to sit and enjoy a meal with my family. The man came with the drinks, apologised and left. We carried on eating. The steak itself was average, average taste, average size, average cook. The sauce that we had with it was very nice. It was served in a little silver pan with a handle. It was tasty, but again the portion size was small. Everyone enjoyed their meal, no over praise, but enjoyable. After dinner we looked to order tea and cake from the app, we looked under the app but we couldn't find anywhere, to order tea?? Under hot drinks it just listed coffee and hot chocolate. We chose hot chocolate and a coffee instead and 3 pieces of carrot cake. We came to pay on the app and it said that there were only 2 pieces left, again not an issue, so we chose something different. Within a short time, the cake and coffee arrived, some time later the rest of the drinks arrived. The hot chocolate was server in a nice big cup, as well the coffee. But the size of the carrot cake was laughable, I've only once seen a carrot cake that size and that was in a fancy restaurant, what you would expect. This was a Greene King. It made us chuckle and gave us something to talk about All in all the Red Rover gets a 2 from us. We would have given it a 3 but the size of the carrot cake took us over the edge of disappointment. Small portion sizes, having to get up and chase drinks, not enough sauce, no tea (even though it was on menu) running out of carrot cake. It all adds up. Our only saving grace is that we used the blue light discount which effectively gave us one meal for free, and of course the steaks were in offer. If we had paid full price, we would have been thoroughly disappointed. We won't be returning any time soon. It was good to try the Red Rover but Next time we are wanting a good hearty meal will go to the steak house in town instead. . Never a bad meal there. Tips for owners Be more attentative. Follow up 10 mins after serving food. Ask if everything is ok. This goes a long way in the perception of the paying customer. Portion size. Chips are cheap. Load them on the plate, that way people feel they are getting a good deal. Presentation - it's all about the presentation. There's a Greene King in Havant that is by far the best we have ever been to. The staff are amazing, the food is fantastic and it's always busy. Definitely worth comparing.

Went with family. Told by barman as we hadn't reserved a table we would have to sit outside. We actually found two free tables inside and requested one of them. The menu were just in a bundle he just handed them as me as I was sitting and told to order at the bar. Which we did, meanwhile the female bar /waitress came to take our order at the table. Food was basic but adequate. Desserts were served by barman without clearing the main course plates. Poor service from barman but female bar/waitress was very good, attentive and professional.

The staff were very friendly and tentative. The food was fair what you'd expect from a pub chain. The only issue we had was with the cleanliness, the table we were sat at was sticky. Salt sprinkled over the table hadn't been cleaned off properly. Cutlery looked marked from washing. Maybe new rinseaid in the dishwasher needed. The cups that came out for our tea we had to clean off tea/coffee stains from outside. Not what you like to see. Looking around most tables looked like they needed a good clean. As I said staff lovely, food as expected, just some TLC and could have been a higher mark.

Rude boy working there and the man with a beard. The kids meal came with a dessert and because i didnt say at the time or ordering what my child wanted! they wouldnt give it to me and we paid £1.50 for our other child to have kids dessert too and they said we had to order at the time even though the man took the 2 dessert orders at the till. 1 dessert was seved to only 1 of our kids! They wanted to argue over a £1.50 dessert. 6 of us ate here. We paid for a dessert we havent got! Argumentative boy on the till and wont return. Such a shame as we also had our christmas party here last year……

We visited the Red Rover midweek as a larger party of nine. They were apprehensive to seat us as they only have a limited kitchen and waiting staff. When we arrived, despite the pub being virtually empty and a reserved sign on the table, there was a man sitting at our table on his laptop. He was quickly moved by the staff and the table cleaned for us. The food was delivered quite quickly and they catered well for the gluten free member of out party. They did have a couple of menu items out of stock which meant a couple of our party had to make quick changes to their orders which meant their food came out 5-8 minutes later than everyone elses. The staff were friendly and helpful and the food was of good quality overall.

Visited with family on a thursday evening and, despite the nice staff and fast service we were underwhelmed. Unexpectedly it was steak night, so two of us opted for fillet steak with peppercorn sauce. The sauce was good, but the steaks whilst very charred on the outside were still bloody inside ( so definitely not ‘well done’ as we had requested).The pub were out of buns, (!) but instead of offering a side salad for example, the adult recipient just agreed to the offer of more chips. It is not easy for a customer to think of an alternative when trying to order multiple meals, so perhaps it would be an idea for staff to pre-warn customers of shortages, or to have a sign, or a note in the menus, and to offer a choice of substitutions. Childrens burger was also bun-less, so sweetcorn was substituted.Childrens sausages very well done – precooked? They were only eaten after the very hard coating was peeled off by an adult. Would have been better if the child could actually have cut through the skin.All the adults declined a dessert, but the children opted for a ice cream and a chocolate brownie. Not sure why ice cream wasn’t an option/ available, but frozen yoghurt was served which initially looked impressive, but it was very runny and is honestly the first dessert I have ever seen the child NOT eat. Tried one spoonful and left it all. (The chocolate brownie however was loved). Service was fast, but after serving, no one cared to ask if everything was ok. Due to the charred/ under cooked steak, the lack of buns, the rock hard outer on the sausages, and the yoghurt dessert I cannot honestly recommend the food. Whilst my husband feels we should at least try it once more, I will not be rushing back.

Off the back of my last review of this pub, I had a call from Greene King. I was assured things would get better.There is no evidence that this is the case. Seat covers are split. Windows are falling apart. Only one cask ale is on.The pub is not full on a Sunday afternoon.Very disappointing.

A warm greeting and order quickly taken. The front of house staff were friendly and helpful. When our order arrived part of it was missing which we had to draw attention to. That was resolved within 10 minutes. We had also added an additional side more than ten minutes before our order came to the table and didn't expect the extra order to arrive at exactly the same time but we didn't expect to wait for almost an hour from ordering to having it arrive at the table. Nachos side was very disappointing - cold and soggy with a bit of melted cheese at the bottom of the dish. Waitress apologised for the delay. I wondered if it had been sitting on the side somewhere for half an hour. Not at all as good as it has been in the past.. The dessert choice was limited so we opted to miss that as it had already taken 1.5 hours to get a sharing platter and a bowl of nachos. I can only wonder how long it would have taken if the pub had been busy. Table was sticky. There was no light in one of the ladies toilets so was plunged into darkness when door closed making it unusable. No toilet paper in that toilet either. It's a shame as this is a lovely pub and we've had pretty good meals here before despite slow service and missing food items. Not sure if we will try again or not.

It was the first time for years that I had gone to the red rover for a family gathering.And it would be the last there was a large group of us.We had been asked to re order prior to attending this was done.There was a few changes added.But they said it was fine.We waited and waited for our food it came out a few at a time only half had there's.Then people started complaining where was there foodThe server was very rude.Apparently all the pre order food had been cooked and brought out but, I had seen the list and only half had come out.When this was brought to her attention she said more turned up then had booked ridiculous.It was then asked if anyone else would get the food they had already pre orderedShe suggested she took thoses orders and send them to the kitchen.It would be a possible hr to come out.But at least we could eat.Even then only a few came out, two tables hadn't still eaten now we had been there three hrs.Family were leaving .Then mine came out the gammon wasn't cooked the chips were dry the only good thing was the peas the pineapple looked as though they had been dipped in dirty fat, my husband had pre ordered fish and chips with peas nothing else on the menu he could eat due to a medical condition.But he was served the signature fishers and chips and scampi that he doesnt like.So he never got what he pre ordered.There was a hr and half wait between my side salad coming out and my main meal being gammon that I couldn't eat it was rawOther people's food was still frozen in the centreNow those that was still waiting was getting quite frustrated.There was meals coming out no one ordered sausage and mash was one .When no one claimed them the server then accused us of wasting food.That was the final straw.The lady running it was called for all she could do was apologise and the food that wasn't cooked they would charge for.She was genuinely sorry for the treatment we had received.But even when we were leaving the looks we were getting was terrible from the staff they messed up big time.Nothing to do with any of us.If they couldn't serve a large group all sitting at separate tables then they shouldn't of agreeded to take the party.At one point we were told the chef was having issues.The puddings that were pre ordered never appeared either.We were also told it was table service in all that time I had only two cups of tea .We never got a chance to order any more drinks even though it was a very hot day.Never ever again !!!!!!

Visited The Red Rover on route to my father's house out west for lunch and felt compelled to leave a review. Staff are fantastic, very happy, welcoming and always wear a smile. Restaurant is clean and very relaxing. I ordered a 8oz rump steak and im usually quite fussy with these, frankly I'd disagree with anyone who eats a steak cooked past medium. I like a rare steak.Kitchen delivered what I thought was an excellent steak first time with no drama, I really couldn't fault the food, even if I wanted.Regarding the covid rules, the entrance and exit are clearly signed posted. The one way system is clear and moving around the restaurant was easy.Left with a fully belly and in a good mood, looking forward to seeing my dad for the first time in a long time.Would highly recommend The Red Rover and will certainly visit again.

Me complació tener una muy cálida bienvenida, la mesera explicó las nuevas reglas con respecto a COVID - 19 y nos pidió que desinfectamos nuestras manos en la entrada. Las mesas estaban bien espaciadas. Pedí un entrante para compartir y un poco de pan de ajo para los niños, que no tardó en salir. Poco después nos preguntaron si estábamos listos para nuestro plato principal, que era. Una vez más, no tomó mucho tiempo. La comida era excelente, porciones de buen tamaño para lo que pagas. A los niños se les dio algo de colorear para hacer mientras esperaban, lo que los mantuvo entretenidos para que la esposa y yo pudiéramos charlar entre nosotros.Sin duda volveremos en un futuro próximo.

Excelente comida anoche en The Rover, personal amable y comida deliciosa.Buenas medidas de covid en su lugar, pub que admite perros, incluso un menú para perros y colores para mantener a los niños entretenidos.El nuevo menú es increíble y a todos nos costó decidir qué comer, ¡definitivamente volveremos!

Visite para un almuerzo rápido y fue recibido con una muy cálida bienvenida.Este lugar es un pub que admite perros con un menú único para perros y camas cómodas para el perro, hago mi pedido y en unos momentos, llegaron los refrigerios y poco después de la comida. Llegó, todo estaba bien preparado y obtienes lo que pagar por el tamaño de la porción fue bueno y el precio justo lo recomendaría a cualquiera para un almuerzo encantador y un buen servicio. ¿También tengo el premio que vi por el mejor pub para perros en el Reino Unido? Puedo ver por qué todo el menú para perros y cosas para perros? Comería aquí de nuevo en cualquier momento, mantengan un buen trabajo chicos

Absolutamente impactante. El lugar estaba tranquilo y ahora sabemos por qué. No me malinterpretes, el personal fue educado pero no tenía ni idea de lo que estaban haciendo. Poner una botella de vino en una mesa que no tenía tapón de rosca, por lo que un miembro del personal requería abrirla con un abridor de botellas y dejarla. Luego, cuando pedimos que se abriera, el miembro del personal del bar tuvo que pedirle al gerente que lo abriera. Eso fue un poco impactante. Un miembro del personal del bar y ni siquiera podían usar un sacacorchos.Pedí fajitas de pollo y 10 minutos después, el camarero se acercó y dijo que no teníamos salsa ni aderezo para fajitas, ¿está bien? ? ? Uh no mate porque entonces eso no son fajitas de pollo es solo pollo y pimientos.Sin salsa de tomate. ¿Qué pub no tiene salsa de tomate? ? ?La pasta de tomate para niños era como cartón calentado en el microondas con un espetón de qué tipo de salsa de tomate se parecía.Fue un desastre tan pronto como entramos por la puerta. Es una pena que este pub fuera el lugar para estar como 10Hace años que.Definitivamente ya no recomiendo este lugar.

Terminé aquí como en cualquier otro lugar cercano completamente lleno. ¡Literalmente no tenían comida! Sin pasta, sin jamón, sin curry, sin fajitas, sin jugo de manzana, sin brotes de frutas, sin ensalada de frutas, sin queso para el pollo del cazador. Ridículo ! ¿Quién hace el pedido y el inventario de alimentos?

Perfectly happy! Turned up on bank holiday, not pre-booked, were told on arrival there would be a slight delay with food as 2 larger parties were in. Good Covid measures in place. Staff explained everything very well and were excellent throughout. It’s pub grub, so you get what you expect to get, nothing fancy. Food didn’t take long at all, probably no longer than you would expect somewhere that hadn’t warned there would be a delay!! Perfectly happy with the food, all good. And all with the benefit of the last day of ‘eat out to help out’ so 50% off. Bargain!!

Having been second choice after another local establishment which was fully booked, this lived up to a Greene King pub in as much as you get what you pay for. Having said that, all food was clearly freshly cooked and tasty. The staff were very clued up on covid-19 measures and all very safe and clean.

Thank you to everyone at the Red Rover for another wonderful lunch. Thank you to Tom who was very attentive, helpful and professional, nothing was to much trouble when he was asked to accommodate my elderly parents needs. Food was fabulous as always.

Popped into the red rover with a few friends after a walk in the new forest and was completely blown away by how professional and well organised the staff aswell the pub was, at the door we were made to sanitise our hands and given lots of information about how the pub runs now after corona virus, and the lovely door host even offered us table service. Well done the red rover for amazing food and even better customer service

I came into the red rover, west wellow yesterday. The establishment was very clean, and I felt very safe coming to this pub. The staff were amazing, they were informative and pointed out everything I needed to know. The one way system was implemented extremely well, although they had ran out of a few items, they had other things that were available. The garden is beautiful and big, with loads of room for dogs. I will be bringing my dog in to try the dog menu, I was happy to know they are a very dog friendly pub.

Drinks brought over from the bar promptly and as we had a tab running even asked us as the table if we could like and top up drinks! Food was perfect, love the fact it’s dog friendly and will definitely be returning with my two furry friends to check out the new doggy menu!

Today we visited the Red Rover with our dog and what a place! Dog friendly is an understatement more like dog haven, the staff were warm welcoming and understanding.We met a lovely lady and her other dogs, the atmosphere was very chilled and relaxed.Dogs are allowed anywhere in the pub and the doggy menu was fantastic lots of choice for our pooch. The food was amazing, freshly prepared and the presentation was great. We will definitely be visiting again thank you to all of the staff for making it such a brilliantly comfortable place to be out with your dog.

Family get-together and we found a really nice place to have our meal. The pub itself is very nice but the first great thing was the lovely young lady taking our order - someone with genuine friendliness plus being totally professional. Made absolutely sure we were getting exactly what we asked for plus the extras we didn't know were included!The menu is really comprehensive and the 2 meals for £10.99 was a real bonus. When the meals arrived we were all a-taken back by the size of them which was totally matched by the quality.As it was my daughters birthday a dessert was a must (not for me unfortunately, as I couldn't manage anything else). Just as well by the size of the helpings and everyone else agreed they were absolutely delicious. This order was taken by a young man this time and again, could not have been more pleasant.Would most certainly return when in the area and would highly recommend on all counts.

I visited this pub with a group of people Thursday for the first time again since last April (which was not a good experience as the table we sat at had dog poo all over the floor) The first thing that hits you is an odd smell in the pub, maybe its because its so dog friendly! It was dirty, toilets smell so bad, only 1 ladies toilet had toilet roll in! The mens toilet and dissabled toilet had no toilet roll at all in them. We were served drinks in hot glasses (straight out the dishwasher!) the diet coke and coke zero were warm and they ran out of some bottled beer. Only one member of staff was friendly (taller lady) the others were not friendly or welcoming at all. The pub didn't have a good atmosphere at all. I would never ever eat in this pub...never! It’s ok if you want to have a drink in a warm glass, be stared at my 1 member off staff, eat food with them only having level 2 hygiene rating and i hear if you want to stiff cocaine up your nose (i was told thats a regular thing for many in there!) its the place to be!5 out of the group had sickness diarrhoea the following day probably caught in the pub as its such a dirty place. AVOID THIS PLACE......

Been before several times generally pretty good. Food is general generic green king fair but well priced and well portioned!Went for lunch cracking pint of IPA, but the steaks were poor quality full of fat and gristle! Robbed for the price,But what was really an issue was the arrogant tall young lad behind bar!! Really terrible arrogant attitude, when I changed order halfway through he tutted and moaned, really needs to learn hospitality, just looked miffed and nasty!However there was a lovely young lady who served the food.Will think seriously about looking elsewhere next tine spoiled for choice in that area.

I have passed this place many times but this is my first and am sorry to say my last visit to this establishment. I had such good hopes for it too. I walked in and thought I have walked in to a frat house with the rowdy youths and all the swearing and boisterous people. I got to the bar and I should have known when I was greated with "Yes mate" so order my drink twice as he forgot as he was distracted by his "Bros" but got a luke warm glass of wine and he just pointed to the card reader! The music is so very powerful and loud it's not pleasant I asked if it could be turned down and was told no. Then I took a seat next to what I can best describe as a sample that doctor would like just lest on the seat! Will not be returning.

Boasts it is dog friendly which I'm sure appeals to many but the overwhelming smell of damp dog as we entered put me off having dinner there! Lots of the menu was off when we visited too as there had been a delivery problem. Shame as it's a well presented pub in a lovely location. Great for those with dogs I'm sure!

Went to the Red Rover because the Rockingham Arms was closed. The pub itself is ok. We ordered Sirloin Steak, potatoes, seasonal veg, peppercorn sauce and mushrooms. I have to say I have never had such a bad sirloin steak as I did at this place. Both myself and my partner felt that it failed on all counts. Find a chef who knows what a decent steak looks like.

We visited on a Friday evening for a bite to eat and a couple of drinks. Food was awful. Partner had macaroni cheese and we're convinced it was stuff out of a tin. I had hunters chicken. Not too bad except being a little dry. On the menu it said it came with onion rings, it did.. two! I suspect it was the minimum amount just say they could say 'onion rings' rather than 'onion ring'

Regresamos a nuestra mesa al lado del fuego que estaba encendido. Ambos pedimos el pollo tikka como lo recomendó uno de los miembros del personal. Cuando llegó estaba muy caliente. ¡La mejor comida que he probado en mucho tiempo! Volveremos de nuevo. Un enorme aprobación de mi esposa y yo

Al pasar por un viaje a Southampton, llamamos para el almuerzo del domingo. En primer lugar, varios elementos del menú no estaban disponibles (por ejemplo, pierna de cordero en el menú asado del domingo) y, considerando que era alrededor de 1. 30 pm, no puedo pensar que se habrían agotado para entonces. Luego nos dijeron que habría una media hora de espera, aceptable siempre que todo lo demás estuviera bien. Pero, cuando llegó la comida, no solo había porciones diminutas (p. Ej. De papas fritas), ¡era PIEDRA FRÍA! La carne de res (anunciada como ligeramente rosa en la imagen) estaba bien recocida y negra en los bordes. Enviamos 2 comidas y recibimos las mismas después de haber sido cocinadas en el microondas, por lo que la carne estaba aún más seca. Explicamos que esto no era aceptable y nos prometieron comidas frescas. Sin embargo, tuvimos que esperar otros 10 minutos mientras el personal servía otras mesas. Cuando finalmente llegaron las comidas, ambos estaban calientes, ¡pero el bistec gammon de la segunda comida estaba casi crudo! Totalmente incomible y probablemente bastante peligroso. Pedimos y recuperamos nuestro dinero, pero perdimos más de una hora de nuestro viaje y no terminamos con los almuerzos que necesitábamos. Además de eso, las mesas estaban pegajosas, los vasos estaban sucios y los baños estaban sucios.

Tuve dos cenas fabulosas y un desayuno los días que este restaurante recién abierto abrió sus puertas y volvería por la comida en un instante. Además de un gran asado, también tienen un buen menú completo, aunque algo limitado, para elegir. Toda la comida estaba caliente, sabrosa y servida a su debido tiempo, así como un carrito de ensaladas donde podía tener todo lo que quisiera. El desayuno del segundo día fue maravilloso, donde de nuevo es todo lo que querías. No te lo pierdas.
