The Bugle Hamble in Eastleigh

This was the best roast I can have since I can remember. If you are thinking of going anywhere else, do not. These guys saved the day when we had been forgotten about and left without food after an hour at a popular eatery on the waterfront. The smoked cauliflower cheese is out of this world. The veg was all cooked to perfection. The Yorkshire pudding is massive and homemade and crunchy! Beautiful private dining room upstairs. The pub has lots of character and a lovely outside area for warmer days!

Very quaint, thought smaller than I expected but the atmosphere was excellent

Wonderful lunch, great staff , very fresh fish dishes , easy parking

Lovely old pub, good food and friendly service, not cheap tho...

Had the most amazing lunch yesterday. The food was delicious and the service faultless, even the dogs were spoilt with treats and sausages! Highly recommend. We’ll definitely return!

Had a lovely meal we book the captains table which was perfect. Staff were very attentive. Only fault is one of or group was vegan and there wasn't a lot of choice maybe would be better to have a couple more options on the menu.

Always a warm and welcome place to spend a good time with friends and family

Visited friends who live in Hamble. Had a fabulous meal which was delicious. Pub was full of diners and the atmosphere was excellent. The server we had was delightful and her constant smile and attentiveness was very much appreciated. All in all a wonderful experience and we'll hopefully go again when we next visit. Highly recommend.

Amazing place and delicious food. Thank you Alexa, Norbert and the staff for the perfect time with my family. We'll be back soon. Thanks again

It was more than wonderful to have lunch in this place. Alexa, Norbert and their team are more than professionals and they're so so kind. They care a lot about the customer. Also the food was delicious and the place is so nice and cozy. I recommend it 100%.

We heard there was a new chef which was the main reason we went. We didn’t leave a little disappointed though unfortunately, mainly due to the very small portion sizes and there being no vegetables or sides at all with some meals despite the meal being £15-£18 each. One of us got the Hunters chicken which did not come with any sides and only had 5 small bits of chicken, for around £15 you would expect more than chicken and sauce. Pie of the day was really good but the size of the pie was tiny and hardly had any filling which was disappointing, also a small amount of mash potatoes and no vegetables… Desert was very good, actually got decent portions with that so that was a highlight. Overall it was good was overly expensive at £171 for 4 small portions and desert.

We had a fantastic lunch outside on the terrace here on a sunny February weekend - the menu had a great choice of dishes - it was difficult to choose. The staff were great - really welcoming and helpful. We will definitely be visiting again

We had a gorgeous meal at The Bugle today. The staff were so attentive and helpful. It was our first time eating here and we will definitely go again.

First time I’ve been here for years. Outstanding food by James. And very good service. Would highly recommend

A great experience even with a large table we booked. Great friendly service, nothing was a problem and great food. All round faultless.

Went to the wine tasting dinner earlier in the month, first time back after a horrendous experience 4 years ago, and we were so impressed we booked again. What a mistake, we won’t be rushing back. Hardly anyone in the pub but our food still took an hour to arrive. When it did finally arrive it was obvious that the new head chef had the day off. Over use of salt in the seafood linguine, and over cooked burgers, with only a threat of bacon. Very disappointing.

Wine tasting evening with the new team was fantastic. The wine was lovely and the food was beautiful presented and delicious.

We never usually venture out to Hamble but were here for children's party reasons so decided to come for Sunday lunch at The Bugle. It's really beautifully presented and a nice cosy interior, but by far the most impressive elements were the quality of the food and service. Very attentive and friendly staff who put up with my husband's poor jokes, and the most incredible pork belly roast we've ever had. The vegetables, roast potatoes and giant yorkshire pudding were also very impressive, wonderfully cooked, and everything was piping hot (just the way we like it). We were so impressed that we've vowed to come out to Hamble just to come back for a Bugle lunch. Thanks everyone for a lovely time!

We went too the Bugle for lunch, the place was empty, and we were given a table in the window, the heating wasn't on and it was cold, we had to wear our coats the whole time, The food was average, my Chicken pie lacked Chicken and left me hungry, Estrella £7.20 a pint!, the bill showed 6 items (4 were drinks) and a 12.5% service charge! so effectively a pint was over £8, What is it with service charges in pubs?, there's no table cloths, napkins etc, in the end £67+ for a fish and chips and an inadequate pie, in the cold, I am not surprised there were no other customers, wont be going back!

Never really liked the pub before now it's probably one of the best in the area

We had a lovely afternoon and evening at The Bugle with friends. Norbert and Alexa were excellent, nothing was too much trouble. The food was delicious, I recommend the fish and chip - best I’ve had in a long time! If you’re visiting Hamble, The Bugle is a must. We will def be back.

We had an amazing afternoon and evening at The Bugle! Norbert and Alexa were very attentive and the food was delicious! Def recommend visiting! We will be back.

I’m very happy to report that the Bugle is better than ever under its new manager, Norbert and new chef. We have always enjoyed having a drink there, but had had a couple of disappointing meals there in recent years. So it’s great news that it’s now back at the top of its game. Our party enjoyed fish and chips (“the best pub fish and chips I’ve ever had”) a Bugle burger (“excellent”) and a series of small plates/starters - scallops & black pudding, spicy fried chicken, braised brisket, chargrilled hispi cabbage and onion bhaji, all were beautifully seasoned and perfectly cooked. Highly recommended.

Bugle is a great place for a quiet drink or a nice meal. Food is well presented and tasty. Atmosphere is relaxing. Service is outstanding from the management team of Norbert, Alexa and Amy together with all the staff, front of house and kitchen. Our ‘go to’ pub in Hamble.

Highly recommend, I only had their local Bugle Bitter beer & main course scallops and chips on the side. Incredible freshness & precisely cooked... Well done to all the staff 😁

Thank you Alexa and Norbert, we really had a wonderful evening sitting at the bar for dinner earlier this month. The food was absolutely perfect and so was the hospitality that you two brought to our evening. We only meant to pop out for a quick bite, but stayed much longer for a 3 course meal because of how much fun we were having chatting with you both! Clearly other patrons that evening felt same!

As I have been a regular guest of the montagu arms hotel when I heard Norbert was taking over the Bugle and one of their chefs also managing the kitchen, I did not hesitate to book my family new years eve celebration there. Very reasonable price, really attentive service and delicious food. I have seen two 1 star rating and completely unreasonable comment here, so I decided to tell the truth. The evening went very smooth, the service was organised and well timed without being rushed. The dishes were well portioned and presented with a lots of love. Please understand this is a gastro pub not a club or a fine dining restaurant and on that level they did not fail. They delivered everything what they promised and we had a good dance and celebration at midnight. Will definitely recommend and keep visiting the Bugle as a new favourite in Hamble. Thank you for the staff and the management for the fantastic night! Lots of love!

Lovely food set in a fantastic location - The staff were friendly and efficient and made a real effort with a special dietary request for somebody in my group.

Attended New Years eve event. Totally mis sold as a New Year event. Very poor value for money. Management not really interested in any feedback. really quite disappointing

My favourite place for Sunday lunch! Always excellent food and service!

Lovely pub , excellent food and service, For info a discretionary 12.5% service charge will be added to your bill regardless of the party size

Just delicious, local, well cooked food. The menu lists on the back a map of where (and the company names) they get everything from- including meats and potatoes etc. Had a burger and my god- the Patty was unreal, homemade. The brioche bread and salad- so fresh!! And with so much flavour. Even the fries had exceptional taste. The atmosphere in here is lovely. Cosy for winter - all wooden and fireplaces burning. Lovely. Service friendly, fast and great. Knocked down one point as the dessert (sticky toffee pudding) tasted almost vegan. Artificial or odd tasting (like sweetener) the ice cream a bit over and not as tasty. Also the food is a little pricey, a bit more Gastropub level prices. Would recommend for families, couples, friends. A good all rounder

We were served by the manger Norbut, not only a fantastic all around guy but fully attentive, the Chef James is amazing also. Party of 10, not one complaint! The food was superb, the Staff are all are lovely people and very attentive. Thank you everyone that served us

Stopped in here by chance on a Sunday afternoon with a large group and they managed to accommodate us in the private dining area . Excellent service and the best roast we have had in years ! Big thanks to Norbert the manager who looked after us and we will be sure to visit again A*

Delicious Sunday Roast well cooked & i liked that we had different vegetables that usually come with a roast dinner....red cabbage, celeriac, mange tout & a carrot puree. Friendly staff & a lovely atmosphere. Definitely worth a visit😊

We're local residents of Hamble and been frequenting the Bugle for a few years so, attracted by their marketing of their New Year's Eve party as a "New Year's Eve Spectacular", an "unforgettable celebration", a "sparkling send off" for Yannick, the outgoing manager. We were promised a "sumptuous feast", "tunes that’ll move your feet, and laughter that’ll make the night complete". In reality, the night was a disaster. There was little atmosphere, friends at the next table had a stand up row with the manager over the poor food quality. There was no "spectacular celebration", and the only laughter was when we couldn't believe our bill. £800 for a table of 6. I raised a complaint but the MD was very defensive, claimed other customers had no complaints (we know this not to be true). I was even asked to suggest my own compensation for our poor experience. After spending literally thousands of pounds in the Bugle over the last few years, their NYE party failed to deliver in a big way. Plenty of choice in Hamble, we've struck the Bugle off our list until the time we see "under new management" on the door.

Excellent food accompanied the excellent service. Non alcoholic beer on tap for guilt free lunchtime!

Very enjoyable wine-tasting evening and meal at the Bugle last night. Food, staff and atmosphere all first class and loved the real fire. Will definitely be back!

Stunning meal here last night with our 2 dogs. Amazing food; very dog friendly (made a fuss and bought a bowl over without having to ask); and all round super friendly service. We’ll be back thank you!!

Great food, we had the seafood pasta and the burger - really delicious! Staff are friendly and fun and look after you. Dog friendly area, log fire, cosy and chilled out. I recommend!

The sea food Tagliatelle was awesome!!!! Oh my! It was foodgasm all the way. I enjoyed every bit of it!!! 💯

Went to the Bugle for Sunday lunch. It was exceptional. The chef’s special roast brisket was perfect.

Lovely hosts at the Bugle. Fantastic service backed up with great food. We all had different starters and meals and everyone was more than happy. The burger was the best I have had for a very long time and may have been the best ever!

Lovely place with a warm open fire Great food & fantastic hospitality Staff very friendly We had a Sunday roast & it was perfect..would highly recommend 😋

What a lovely pub! We had a fantastic afternoon here with our friends. The mixed starters, tagliatelle, pie, burger, were all excellent. Our very foodie friend, who really is difficult to please, said that it was the best burger he’s had in a long time. That is quite the statement. Great location, atmosphere and very friendly staff. Our dog, a vizsla, was delighted to find fellow Hungarians and lots of treats.

From the moment we arrived until the moment we left the service was fab. Sissy was charming all evening. The food is delicious and well presented. All in all a great evening!! Will come again

Great place for Xmas Dinner. Good value and excellent food

A little expensive but the food was good and the were staff lovely.

Superb Service, superb food, superb atmosphere!!! Yanick makes this place!!! Thank you for a lovely evening!

Absolutely brilliant food, we went here for a festive get together and nothing could be faulted, from the tasty mussle starter, to the perfectly cooked turkey and full of flavour venison, everything was superb my favourite was the gin tart to finish! Service was fantastic...

We booked the Captains Table for my partners birthday. The evening was made to feel so special, and the staff were so attentive and accommodating it was unreal. The Bugle have lifted their game up recently with their food, and this was our first visit...

French waiter, ridiculously good pork belly roast!

We were given a very warm and friendly welcome at this cosy pub. The food was very tasty and freshly prepared. Service spot on. To make me even happier the toilets were spotless! Often nice pubs have grotty toilets; well not this one! We will...

My partner and I fancied somewhere different and we were so delighted we chose here. From the moment we stepped in the atmosphere was warm and friendly. A jolly French man who was excellent with his hospitality made sure our food was excellent and we...

We stopped in for a drink yesterday afternoon - the log burner was fired up and it was so lovely and cosy. The landlord / owner was full of so much charisma and joy, it felt like stepping into his home. We sat and played cards listening to a great playlist too, will definitely be back - the food all looked and sounded incredible too!

Probably the best pub in the village. The service was top notch. A gentleman with an undisguised French accent interacted unobtrusively with the customers. Everything was very tasty. I recommend.

Super pub with hugely engaged and engaging french landlord. Easily reached on foot from Hamble Point marina via Hamble Common.

One of my favourite pubs around. Stunning cosy feel with open exposed beams and real fires burning away. Great food and amazing staff.

Really tasty vegan options with a touch of class and style!

All staff were so lovely and made us feel so welcome and the food was delicious - thank you!

A reunion of golf mates with their ladies and a return to the Bugle! Good decision! Food and drink excellent and Connor and team looking after us! Great night!

Had the 100 day aged beef burger with bacon jam, bacon and cheese. Wow! One of the best burgers I’ve had. Herb fries and slight curry flavour slaw also excellent. Staff friendly. Can’t fault this place.

Great food. Great staff. Great host… he had us in stitches. Great place if you have just come in from a heavy day sailing or just visiting the area. Absolutely recommend

Above & beyond service, excellent French guy welcoming us and buzzing about paying attention to everyone and everything going on ! A joy to be honest and we just had one drink! South Africa bar guy lovely too 😊

Really lovely pub, eaten here a few times and the food is always really nice. Staff are friendly too

Table of 12 food was superb and service was excellent!

Sharon and Amy looked after us like VIPs! And a lovely lunch. Tuna Nicoise is a great dish. The Bugle never disappoints, but the super service really is appreciated 👏 🙌

Very average food but service was friendly so didn’t mind paying the service charge but should have paid half of the food bill and £14 for a a mediocre glass of wine

Great pub friendly and welcoming staff. Were able to accommodate us even though they super busy this Saturday. Thoroughly recommend!

Fabulous initial welcome and service. This gave us high hopes for the food which sadly was just ok (other than the veg burger which was unpleasantly dry and claggy). It’s not cheap and we left feeling very disappointed.

Good atmosphere, our waitress was great, but let down by the food, particularly at the price.

We loved the private dining at the Captains Table to enjoy a birthday celebration with close friends.

Lovely place to eat. Well looked after, swift service and scrummy food. What's not to like?

Beautiful olde pub. Try the onglet steak, which is small but delicious. Mind the steps on the way out as they can be deceiving. There is a slope you can use instead. Great indoor and outdoor facilities right near the quayside of Hamble.

We had an excellent lunch here today and I would thoroughly recommend it. The pub itself is in a great position near the water and has a nice atmosphere. The staff were friendly and efficient ( our servers were Imogen, Valeriia and Aimie) and the...

Please thank the lovely barman yesterday evening who put up with me and my friend when we realised we had not activated apple pay on new phones. He was very patient and we realised on the way home that we had not left him the handsome tip that he deserved. Excellent service. Thank you

My wife and I had a fantastic Sunday lunch here. The owner was very accommodating and managed to seat us on the terrace, which is a nice spot to watch people walking through the village. The service was very good, and very friendly. The owner...

Lovely food, good service Felt a bit uncomfortable to begin with as we arrived with two buggies and 4 young children; we were seated outside, but it worked out fine. Food options for children were good, and enjoyed. It was an enjoyable meal with a lovely view of the water

The original Basel Faulty....but.....French and happier!! :-) A great time had by all, and the food wasn't half bad to boot; one of the best Sunday Lunches I've had for a long time. Well done all there! Made me smile......a lot!

We stopped for a couple of pints of lager shandy, and were pretty shocked to discover the price was £7.10 a pint! Needless to say we didn’t stay for another and went elsewhere for food and refreshments.

£7.10 for a pint of Lager Shandy. WOW!

A lovely place, any visit of Hamble Le Rice would be incomplete without a stop at the Bugle Hamble. Loved the owner-managed restaurant service [great attention to the guests, speedy service], locally sourced concept and the great food!

They don't know how to make a hot chocolate.

Lovely traditional historic pub by the sea. Enthusiastic staff and excellent food, with good qualities. Highly recommended.

Great food and fantastic hospitality and service. All the staff couldn’t do enough for us and made 4 generations of our family so welcome.

Fabulous food and excellent attentive service. We’ll be coming again! The pub is a real and busy place. No’ themes’ here. Recommended.

Very friendly vibe, food was tasty but a tad expensive.

I held my Husbands surprise 50th Birthday eve at The Bugle and I can honestly say that the Manager, Yannick, Chef Chris and all the staff went above and beyond. The food was delicious and excellent service. Our friends that attended were extremely impressed. Thank you all for making my husbands birthday so special.

Our second visit and we were not disappointed! I arrived before my husband and friends, but was warmly welcomed to sit at the bar whilst I waited. The owner chatted to me and as some of his staff arrived for shift, it was apparent that...

While exploring the town by boat, we were in search of a lunch spot when we came across the Bugle. Initially, it seemed like a decent choice, with most of the outdoor tables appearing to be reserved. However, there was one unmarked table available, so...

Lovely location, great food and excellent service.

Horrified literally how expensive thus pub is. £7.10 for a pint of lager, absolutely extausionate. There is no excuse for this. Never again, I'm sorry but I was angry at this blatant over pricing.

Visited with family when we came down from London beautiful place had a Sunday roast great friendly atmosphere food and service were impeccable stunning building and location well worth the money and will definitely visit again
