Fabulous roast lamb dinner! The meat just fell off the bone, and the accompaniments were delicious. Would have preferred a slightly lower level of lighting for the atmosphere, but then that's just me, I suspect. Can't wait to go again.

Stopped here for lunch after doing some errands in the area and remembering it had a good reputation a few years ago. Lovely menu, not fussy but something for everyone and whether you're after something to keep you going until dinner or more substantial. We both opted for the toasted cheese sandwiches, Croque Monsieur for my wife and Croque Madam for me. They arrived piping hot and freshly prepared with a hearty portion of fries and a nice little side salad. I like toasted sandwiches, a lot, this was the best one I've had in my 44 years! My wife thoroughly enjoyed her Monsieur too. Service was warm and friendly, good selection of ales on tap and will definitely return 👍

Brigadier Gerrard was a fantastic choice for dinner. We arrived without a reservation, but they were accommodating and found us a table right away. The atmosphere was warm and inviting. The food was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. For dessert, we indulged in a heavenly Biscoff cheesecake. We were thoroughly impressed with the service and would highly recommend Brigadier Gerrard to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience.

We had the wake after my Nans funeral at the pub and it was lovely from the point of booking to the whole day. The pub had a separate area for our family and friends. The pub was really well presented and clean and the whole team made sure that we had everything we needed. There was plenty of food and it was delicious as well. It really helped us feel like we said a proper goodbye to our nan.

We visited brigadier Gerard on 12/9/24 which we go regularly, do love the food as never had a problem before,but on this occasion we decided to have the Eton mess for dessert which was very disappointing can honestly say there was no meringue what so ever and very little cream it was like eating very cold berries in yogurt, and at £7.95 per SMALL portion. We did complain while their and the girl who was serving us apologised and was lovely. Next time I’ll make sure I stick with the sticky toffee pud as that is always excellent.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.
