The Brigadier Gerard in Eastleigh - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Had a lovely lunch here, would definitely recommend it.

Very disappointing. They may have full table service but it’s not a restaurant. Their floors are not just dirty but filthy, their service is very poor (very slow (on a number of occasions I had to go and look for someone), incompetent, clueless) and as if that wasn’t bad enough, their prices are exorbitant. They’re a little ridiculous, caught between a very nice restaurant’s prices but yet a typical pub's decor and “feel”. The combination simply does not justify the prices. The portion sizes aren't even that good either. Pretty on the outside with the nice flowers and all but there are a number of nicer (proper) restaurants I’d rather go to (that, to be honest, would probably cost less) before I’d go to the Brigadier Gerard again. Sorry, but I simply cannot recommend this pub in good conscience.

Must be good we have been going for 12 years.

Great little pub with decent food selection and friendly service

The food was very tasty but extremely hot to eat. I burnt my mouth at first bite .I had the chicken and mushroom pasta.My husband had the fish pie. If food is too hot it's not enjoyable to eat and you don't really want to sit with a plate of food in front of you waiting for it to cool down. Having said that it hasn't put us off visiting again . The pub is very clean and a good atmosphere. I would advise to book as it's a very busy place.We were fortunate to get the last table for 40 minutes.

Lovely, friendly pub with excellent service and very well kept beer

Reception after funeral service.Staff welcoming and friendly and helpful

The most beautiful pub I have ever been to this date. Very nicely looked after, lovely staff and the food is just as good with great portions too

Went for drinks with friends. Very welcoming, a great traditional friendly pub

Excellent food and service needed a smaller portion of ham egg and chips, just right.

Lovely staff, proper portions, like the old pub days :) will go back again for sure

Excellent food, sea bass was perfectly cooked. Restaurant part was nice and quiet. Very good service.

Lovely meal, really friendly staff, great atmosphere

Good choices on their menu, tasty & generous portions, great service. Two very satisfied customers.

Popped in for a quick pint it appears it is all restaurant now so no bar sitting area.

Went online to look at the menus. They look good WHY are there no prices displayed? You expect me to just turn up without knowing how much I am going to spend? you are joking?

Really enjoyed it here with top quality food and service. Maybe a bit on the pricey side but get what you pay for.

Superb service by Phil and the team, great atmosphere and most importantly, great home cooked food served and being a veggie, there is plenty of choice!!

Lovely food, and friendly staff

Only had coffee, very strong but nice.

Came here for the wake after my Aunt's funeral. Lovely buffet and really kind staff. Highly recommended

Lovely lunch, staff very welcoming and friendly

Brilliant! Had the Sunday dinner and it was fab! Staff so friendly and helpful.

Gorgeous place - we’ve had dinner here every time we’ve visited the area now and never been disappointed. We’ve tried the ham egg and chips, steak burger (which was to die for!) and spicy pizza! All fresh and delicious. Wine superb and service was truly exceptional. Friendly staff, nothing too much trouble. And we finally got to try a dessert last night- sticky toffee pudding! Absolutely amazing!!!!!

What can I say - the pub itself is lovely. The staff were very friendly and welcoming when we arrived. The menu is great as it offers 2 different portion sizes for a number of dishes which is ideal for those with smaller or larger appetites. (I can recommend the lasagna!). Will definitely go back there if I'm in the area again.

We had the Sunday roast, portion sizes were perfect, and the food was excellent and served quickly so still piping hot. Staff were very friendly and helpful, will be going again.

Viisted and eaten here many times before, met friends here last night, unfortunately the local area had suffered a power cut and half the pub was in darkness. The kitchen had power, we had an excellent meal the staff pulled out all the stops to make our 'candle light' meal a memorable experience with their friendly and attentive approach.

Took our mum for a celebratory 97th birthday lunch. Staff were very cheerful and accommodating, especially giving us a table where she could stay in her wheelchair. Food was very good.

Becoming our new local. We recently moved to fair oak. Came again tonight, 2nd time in 3 months. The staff were so friendly, attentive and helpful ( two young girls in the restaurant who served us) the staff even went out of their way to tell me about the gin i had. The food was stunning and came out so quickly. Big portions as well. Will definitely be our pub of choice from now on :)

Local pub for local people. If you know, you know!

Very busy but thats nice to see as too many pubs seem to be closing down. I had lunch with a friend so nothing Christmassy. I had scampi and chips and they had Ham,Egg and chips and both of us had clean plates. It was nice and we would come back again.

Very nice atmosphere, friendly staff and what I saw of the food well... It looked very appetising.

Excellent service, very good food. Had a great afternoon.

Delicious food, comfy restaurant, lovely staff

This was my first visit and I had a lovely lunchtime meal here with a friend who has eaten here a number of times. The food was nicely presented and very tasty, with good portion sizes. Service was good and friendly. The atmosphere was good and the restaurant was quite busy. We arrived just before midday opening and there were quite a few spaces in the carpark, although some were underwater due to heavy rain. All in all a good visit and I'm sure we'll be back soon.

BEAUTIFUL PIE, PROPPER HOME MADE. MY WIFE HAD THE BURGER AND CHIPS, HOME MADE AS WELL. THE WIFE COULD NOT EAT IT ALL, SO HOME FOR LATER. THE STAFF WAS BRILLIANT AND THE PUB HAS A VERY FRIENDLY ATMOSPHERE.

Out for a christmas do lovely food good service 😋 only one little niggling thing the tables were really clean but sticky as in the glasses kept sticking to the table🤔 very strange 😀

Perfect atmosphere. Excellent service and food. Been several times and always great.

A fantastic works Christmas meal for 19 of us. We’ve been here before and had a great time but this visit was brilliant. Food and service were excellent. Our venue of choice x

Pie of the day is always excellent.

Great food excellent staff our second visit liver and bacon top draw

Excellent staff and service,food very good could be hotter.

We've been to this pub a few times. They always do good food and we've always liked it, it's just a bit of an awkward walk to get to from where we live if you don't feel like driving. (Thanks eastleigh council for not giving us paths!) I think we will make more of an effort to visit more after today's visit. We adopted a dog with separation anxiety this year, so we have to take her everywhere with us. So dog friendly pubs are a blessing. The team at the Brigadier Gerard were so welcoming to us and our dog, she loved the attention she got and everyone seemed to love her! Thanks for making us feel so welcome. Our dog especially loved the chicken fresh out the kitchen. 😅 I'm sure she agrees it's worth the walk along the road without a path! We will be back to have food soon. Thanks for the hospitality!

Popped in for a pint, lovely place.

Good food at sensible price with noteworthy service. For family get together meal.

Good food at a reasonable price, lovely atmosphere and super friendly staff. Really pleased we stopped off there while passing.

It was our 20th Anniversary Friday 3rd of November. We were staying at marwell hotel. We booked at another pub however, when we arrived we were told the kitchen was closed! So we got back it the car and went looking for another place to have a meal. This place hit the spot perfectly! The food was amazing, the atmosphere was perfect the music everything was perfect. Sarah and Verity were lovely and we were given a free drink from the manager to toast our Anniversary. They really saved our night. Thankyou ever so much. The next time we are in the area we will be back.

We had a large group for lunch and were catered for very well. Very attentive and quick service. I’ve never been here before but will definitely be returning. The Sticky Toffee Pudding was amazing.

I had a lovely evening with school friends. A nice table, nice surroundings and very nice staff who did a great job. However, Brigadier Gerard, I'm sorry to say that my food was terrible. I ordered cheesy nachos (main meal) I think from memory about £16. This came and it was a dinner plate full of tortilla chips (not very good ones) which had quite tasteless cheese melted into it until it formed a hard and impenetrable frisbee. On top was some type of chilli flavoured ketchup and a bit of white which I would not describe as sour cream. There was some raw onion and coriander... and that was it! You obviously couldn't cut it, and going in with fingers was equally unsuccessful, so I had to leave most of it, it was unpleasant. I decided to cheer myself up with a dessert and ordered Eton mess. This was a bowl of strawberry ice cream with some still frozen berries in it, a very small sprinkling of meringue, not even a mouthful, and some squirty cream on top. The quality again very disappointing and not an enjoyable meal. I think maybe my friends' burgers we're slightly better, but my meal was certainly very poor and I paid £30 for this on a shared bill, we were all drinking lime and soda and other soft drinks. I drove home for some food. If you could improve on the food then it would have been such a lovely experience and, as said earlier, the staff were great.

Beautiful setting and lovely warm atmosphere, very cosy

Me and my family visited today for our 50th wedding anniversary and were made very welcome by all the extremely friendly staff, as we were when we also celebrated my 70th birthday there back in July. The food was well cooked and plentiful. Thank you so much for making both occasions so enjoyable. Dave Wendy and family.

Lovely drinks selection and staff are very friendly.

The roast dinner was very tasty with plenty of roast pork, but the roasties were like boiled potatoes! They were cut quite large which didn't give them time to brown and crisp. The rest of the dinner was great. 👍

Sunny October Sunday lunch enjoyed very much. Staff all smashing - courteous and helpful.

The second time we have been here under the different management. This pub richly deserves a 5 star review. Excellent all round.

It's a really nice place for a lunchtime get-together for our family with excellent food, and they allow well-behaved dogs in.

We had a good meal and decent beer, only slight grouse was that the desserts took longer to come than expected, it shouldn't take long at all to serve ice cream!

Loved the food here , quite expensive though. But big portions . The staff were really lovely and friendly .

I don’t like it as much now but still good pub food.

Always like it here, quaint and pleasant

Great pub .. plenty of parking and tables outside. Great food and bar . Friendly service .

Amazing family friendly pub Staff were 10/10

Clearly this pub is set up for customers who are eating and has an excellent menu and the food being served looked very good. Called in solely for a drink and unfortunately the beer on offer was not to my liking and clearly preference was being given to customers who wanted a drink with their meal

An absolute gem of a find whilst visiting Southampton. If you want good quality pub grub with great service and a fab atmosphere, the Brigadier will tick all the boxes!

Love going to the Brigadier Gerard. The range of food is not extensive but what they have on the menu and their specials is cooked well and is tasty. Ideal for those with smaller appetites some of their meals are available in smaller portion sizes, bigger than a children's meal but not as big as a full portion. Nice drop of 6x rounded out the meal for me and the wonderful Garden delighted the elderly lady whose birthday we were celebrating.

We were there with about thirty people for a wake. The staff were excellent and the food was great.

Very friendly. Perfect country pub/restaurant.

Very friendly staff and good service. The Sunday roast dinners were delicious and hot, loved it.

Friendly warm welcome with treats for our two dogs. We had five different meals, all of which were delicious, hot and very generous portions. Pleasant staff, all with ready smiles and a true wish to bring us a happy dining experience. Can’t wait to go back and try some of the other delicious-looking options on the menu! Thank you very much.

Great local pub, good food and prices.

Wasn't too sure when we went in but the food was excellent

Very good lunch, varied menu and reasonably priced.

Great pint of Guinness and a good traditional pub atmosphere,food was great to and service spot on couldn't fault it 👍

The sharing fish platter was excellent. And I really enjoyed the fish pie. I had the smaller portion, but they also offer a larger one, which is a really good feature.

Won't be returning! Bar staff took their time to serve. Not overly friendly either. Previously we had a lovely meal and the waitress was great, however on spending £25 on a bottle of wine on 2 occasions after with not great service, we won't come back. Not welcoming...shame really but heh plenty of other nice pubs around....cest la vie

As always, delicious food, excellent service and delightful atmosphere. Keeps us coming again and again.

Lovely garden to have few drinks, had nice bit of food, worth a visit friendly staff. Only criticism was starter portion of calamari was very small even for a starter but was very nice.

Went for lunch with a friend last week,and was very warmly welcomed by a lady that served us. Very helpful and knowledgeable about the food. I would throughly recommend and look forward to going back with my husband .

Waitress was friendly and the food and beer were really good. Will visit again.

Late lunch but didn't book. Food was good but nothing special

Had fantastic service and great food as always. Well worth the slightly higher price.

Always great food and very friendly staff

Nice comfy chairs, cheerful staff

Pub was recommended to us by a friend so it was our first visit. Brilliant! Lovely relaxed atmosphere and we all had Sunday lunch which I can honestly say is one of the best I've had for many a year. The Lamb was to die for and apparently it had been slow roasted for several hours. Wonderful. The helpings were also very generous. We will be back.

Food was amazing and the staff were fantastic

Nice establishment , only had a few drinks , the food smelled nice. Will definatly return.

Out with friends, as we all like tapas style food we chose from the starter menu. Had a good selection,most enjoyable, prawns,calamari,salmon,chilli fries and more staff were great, polite,attentative and not pushy, great to feel you have time at you're own pace.

Great food, great friendly staff, great atmosphere, and service were excellent. Recommended

Staff are all really friendly! Food is decent and fairly priced, great spot for lunch.

Nice pub friendly lovely flowers all year. Had a nice pint with dog

Very nice time there. Food was lovely, staff very friendly. We were there for a family evening and could not have been better.

Good quality pub food in nice surroundings.

Lovely place , great friendly and efficient service., best roast dinner I have had in a restaurant.

Excellent beer and good pub classic food. Steak and stour pie was amazing!

Had a lovely meal at brigadier Gerard pub today .lovely hot food and very good service husband recommends steak and stout pie and Wadsworth beer

Normal everyday food good but the family booked Christmas meal there at lunch time. Very poor quality for the price
