The Cob & Pen Wallington Fareham in Fareham

Booked a table for a group of 6 of us for Sunday lunch. We were initially a bit concerned that the weather looked "iffy" as seating is currently only allowed outdoors but were pleased to find we were seated under cover of the marquee.My friends all commented on how much they enjoyed their roast dinners (as did I) - between us we ordered the beef, pork and turkey plus one lasagne. All equally scrumptious. Great roast potatoes, Yorkshires and generous meat portions.Service was spot on - as was the beer....The mobile app for ordering/payments worked well once you've set up an account the first time.My friends have already said we must book again next time they visit Fareham at the end of May.Thanks Suzy and team!

We decided to swing by on day 2 of pubs reopening (couldn’t stay away any longer!) and I’m so glad we did! I had the scampi and chips and I honestly think it was the best tartare sauce I’ve ever had (I asked for extra lol) . The kiddies and husband cleared their plates too. So nice to have food cooked and cleared away for me after so long doing it all!The new marquee and play area is amazing and we could have stayed much longer if our table wasn’t booked out after us (that’ll teach us for not booking!)

Went last night to support the reopening. Really gone downhill since the lockdown. Straw bales out the front (every dog on the world has urinated on them) are growing weeds, garden area had rubbish strewn around, Xmas decorations still not packed away, broken fence in kids play area/car park, dirty glasses, toilet not cleaned! Staff didn’t observe social distancing, they wore masks but couldn’t tell if they were staff or customers as really scruffy. Such a shame as used to be a lovely pub but just slowly going downhill over past few years.

...without a doubt. The place is nice , the staff are attentive and polite and the lunch is wonderful.

Just the two of us and of course the most important guest, my little dog. We were made very welcome.Staff and service was spot on. Obvs this might change if they were allowed to pack the place out. Though without 'rules' they would do a good job too.The Pub is a bit off the beaten track though just minutes from town. Go there. I like my roast beef rare and i know it is not to everyone's taste so i swerved that and had the turkey crown. Very nice. The vegetables were cooked exactly as they should be. Roast potatoes perfect though i couldn't eat all three. What i found so good about this place was if you were there...other people who were there would be happy to talk to you. Can't say better than that.

Visited the Cob and Pen today with my family (group of 7) after hearing countless stories of how wonderful the roast dinners were! Upon arrival we were seated inside as requested and were greeted by a friendly waitress. We were given menus and our drinks order was taken. After returning with the drinks we placed our orders and waited with hungry bellies! The food didn't take very long to come out as the restaurant wasn't overly busy. When it arrived it looked every bit as good as what people had told me! I had the beef and it was absolutely delicious! We were given extra gravy too which I would recommend if you like your dinner with a bit extra So far....so very good! Unfortunately it was at this point that the service completely deserted us! We had finished our meals and the plates remained in situ for a good 15-20 minutes after the last person had finished their meal. In addition to this we had numerous empty glasses on the table and hadn't seen a waitress for a good half an hour at this point. Eventually after going up to the bar to ask, the plates were taken away. We were not asked if we wished to see the dessert menu/after dinner coffee and we were left feeling a bit 'forgotten about'. Because of this we decided that we didn't wish to stay any longer and asked for the bill. After 10 minutes the bill still hadn't arrived so I went back to the bar to ask again and was greeted by the same girl I had asked, folding napkins. The bill did eventually arrive and one of our group members said to the waitress that we had felt a tad forgotten about and that we weren't asked if we wanted desserts to which she replied "Oh, I am sorry about that". Overall not the best experience. Food was awesome but the service was not what I had hoped or expected. It wasn't overly busy inside either so I was struggling to defend it. Unsure as to whether I would go again.

Visited this pub one lunchtime as the good offer was on.Have had many a Sunday lunch which was always superb and could not believe it was the same pub.The choice was very very limited.Not many staff around.They must have different cooks etc at weekends.Topmarks to the Sunday chef.Must improve lunch service and a better choice of good food weekdays

Welcoming and friendly staff. Gorgeous and cosy, the garden also looked so pretty with all the lights up. Brilliant adherence to covid regulations, we felt very safe in there - staff constantly cleaning. Food was prompt, well served, generous portion size and delish! Having lived local for almost 20 years this is the first time I’ve visited properly and will deffo be going back again and again!

Visited the Cop and Pen this evening for a meal with my family and everything was brilliant! The staff were so friendly and helpful (especially when my partner wanted a few changes, nothing was too much trouble) food was delicious as always, huge portions and I had Mac 'n' cheese which was to die for! I was also so impressed at their COVID procedures. Clearly laid out signs, social distancing and all the staff wearing masks. Brilliant place! Best meal I've had! Well done!

Just having a meal here now and I don’t leave many reviews but it’s been lovely.Welcomed straight away with a smile, offered a table outside in large garden area.Food arrived quickly and very well presented.All the little things here are great and you can see a lot of effort is going in to the food. A quality chef who is showing their passion. A shame I live so far away but if ever we are back we will pop back in again.Thank you for a lovely meal

Very strange pub... got asked to keep the noise down in the beer garden as the Landlady 5 year old daughter Abigail is trying to sleep. Obvs we first thought the bar man was joking and we carried on. When the Land lady came down to clarify she said it was because of the neighbours and denied is was because of her daughter. When I asked how do i know your daughters age and name she did not seem to have an answer. Bar boy was very rude and was doing his best to agitate the situation and actually call us names. Extremely unprofessional and rude staff who lie when they realise how stupid their request was. Land lady could not smile if she tried and pub in general was very dirty and clearly not been deep cleaned or anything before opening. Would not recommend at all.

We were very impressed with the smooth running and welcome back. A very good system in place, hygiene was excellent and the table service worked very well, in fact so well I think they should keep it. Plastic glasses were a great reassurance and are not touched by the waiting staff. All tables well spread out but still managed to keep the atmosphere. Very well done to Suzy and her team.

Best Pub in Fareham......great staff, friendly locals, amazing food. Cannot recommend the Sunday Roasts enough, generous portions using quality ingredients. Very dog friendly pub with treats behind the bar for the exceptionally well behaved!!

My wife and popped in for lunch on a quiet Saturday and chose to order a burger and a sandwich. The staff were friendly and attentive. The food was very good. (My wife opted to take half of her collosal sandwich home.) A very nice pub with a friendly village vibe just a few minutes walk from the relative hubbub of Fareham town centre. We will be back.

What a wonderful pub. STAFF are superb. Dog friendly clearly popular with the locals and food looked great what we saw.

Arrived for meal 7 clock (booked). Menu consisted of paper, very limited compared to a previous visit. No service had to keep going to bar asking for service. Ordered 2 med steaks, could hardly put knife thru or chew. Asked if could spk to someone, a girl spoke to me re my concern, she was holding a young child and had been eating on table next to us, along with dog. For this atrocious birthday evening I was charged £42 40. Never again unless you want fishcakes or coujons.

We popped in here and ordered a sandwich each. I had melted Brie and crispy pancetta with seeded bread. Well I can honestly say it was the BEST sandwich I have ever had. The lady that served us was welcoming and attentive. Will be back and don’t change that delicious bread!!

Popped into the cob and pen, we hadn’t booked a table but the bar staff were amazing and sorted us something out straight away - all very friendly, accommodated to an extra request of stuffing, portions where huge and one of the best pork roasts I’ve had. We will be back again and will be recommending to our friends - Thankyou and your staff are fantastic.

Thought myself and my friend would check this place out as had heard good reviews,wow we were not disappointed what a lovely little old pub we ordered sunday roast,we had the beef although there was a selection of meats!! It was amazing the meat was melt in your mouth and the roast potatoes well they were gorgeous price was good too we thought £12 each well worth it will definitely return ..its only a small country style pub but not too noisy so you could talk so that was nice.

Just as good as before. Staff lovely and food excellent. Now I have retired will visit more often hopefully. what a lovely place. It is of course the people who make it. Well done.xx

Booked for Christmas Day Meal and we were not disappointed. Excellent company, excellent service and delicious food. I had the Sea Bass and I couldn't fault it, the last time I had Sea bass that good or quantity was in Italy.I would not hesitate to book again, in fact we are going back this Sunday for their signature Sunday Roast. A big Thank you to all the staff for all their hard work to make our day special.

Got off to a slow start as only one person was serving behind the bar. A longish wait for our starters. But well worth it as the Goats Cheese Souffle was delicious. Followed by a lovely Roast Turkey main course & Creme Brulle Dessert. Finished with Coffee & Mince Pies. Did miss the Brussel Sprouts though.Only thing spoiling it was the area we were sitting in was cold. A couple of us kept our coats on .

Food and service exemplary. Lovely atmosphere. Very gentle. Staff superb. Special for us we have a very timid dog who immediately took to the young lady behind the bar. Treats available.

Came here for lunch. First time I have visited and it wont be the last. Had the sea bass and it was delicious. Very well presented and all our food was tasty. Staff friendly and pub very cosy.

Family friendly traditional village pub. Great food, massive portions. All home made. Even the locals are friendly.

Piped in here for Sunday Roast. Beef, port and Turkey were on offer. There was way to much meat on the plates, honestly it was piled high. The pork came with crackling and it was well cooked. The roast potatoes were definitely home made not the a frozen one in sight. They were crispy and lovely. The veg was fresh and nicely cooked, not mushy. Loved the flavour of the carrots really sweet and tender. We asked for an extra portion of roast potatoes but because they had bookings they couldn’t do them.

My husband and children stopped for lunch and were stunned by the sandwiches. They are huge!!!!! And very tasty. I had fish fingers but was actually 2 pieces of large fish and my sons cheese one had half a block of sliced cheese! We ordered chips too which were also fab but we could only manage 1 or 2 as we were stuffed. Highly recommend!!

We went to the Cob and Pen for a birthday meal - the birthday boy was 80! There were 6 of us and we had the round table at the back. We decided to share 3 starters and it was a good decision. The nachos was enormous, a plate of tortilla chips, sour cram, guacomole and salsa with some jalepeno pepper slices covered in melted cheese. The pork terrine was perfectly accompanied by a grape chutney and the whitebait were tasty even though the crumb was a bit on the hard side. For mains we had the Vegan Burger, sausages, fish in batter, duck confit, sea bass and fishcakes. All very good but the duck, vegan burger and sea bass stood out. We had delicious veg on the side - peas, carrots (super tasty) and peas. We also ordered totally unnecessry a portion of the chunky chips. All delicious and large portions. The waiter was excellent and so helpful in trying to get the fire lit. A bottle of Malbec complemented the food. We did not have room for desserts but coffee was also good. It was worth the trip for the nachos alone but the rest of the food was superb. Lovely friendly pub with a huge garden which would be great for children in the summer. Thoroughly recommended.

Visited last night with a group of friends. The pub has a lovely country feel to it, and the food was delicious (especially the chips). Service was fast and the staff were friendly.

Love the food here & eat there regularly. But it needs a good clean. There were dead flies on the window sill by the round table, they had been there the previous week too!

Have been visiting this place on a regular basis for yonks. Went Wednesday 14th for evening meal. Have had same main meal for at least last 10 visits. Chicken with tarragon, because has always been gorge. Ordered on Wednesday. Didn't recognise it. Was nothing like the dish I had before. New chef?? Don't know. Companion had Salmon. Cauliflower black on ends !!. Really sad about this. Have loved this place.

You never leave the Cob and Pen hungry! Sandwiches are supersized, really tasty wholemeal bread, proper doorsteps, generously filled accompanied with a fresh side salad.

The Roasts are incredible, and so Im told the burgers are too. Friendly family pub good for the kids and adults alike

Had a lovely Sunday Roast today for £10.95, Plenty of food & extremely tasty. Will definitely be back & have enquired for Xmas Day!

A lovely old English country Pub next to the river and Swans. Good selection on menu. Fresh, wholesome meal with man size portions. The four Lamb chops are sooo succulent and the Eton mess!!! Hats off to the Chef and his team.

Unless this pub invests in some reasonable staff, this plot of land will become houses! They have no idea on how to look after their customers. Owners, please take note

If you want 5 star food at ridiculous prices this isn't for you. If you want lovely home cooked food at reasonable prices then this is. We came with friends and had the chicken with wild mushrooms and maah. Just gorgeous. Good size portions, lovely sauce, perfect mash. Nicked some of my mates chips cos I could. They were perfect. Why pay mad prices for average food when you can pay reasonable amounts for fabulous food?

I meet with friends every few months and, following a good previous lunch we opted to return to The Cob and Pen.

Revisted after 3 months and once again the standard of the meal was suberb.It was fautless generous and perfectly cooked. The young staff who served us were polite and effiencent . We have pleasure in recomending this pub.

Absolutely lovely, would definitely go back again would definitely recommend this place our Sunday roast was really nice staff very friendly place very clean

Met with friends for a lunch time catch up, as well as the full menu there is a lighter bites selection too. We all opted for sandwiches, loved the fresh bread, chunky doorsteps! I had the fish finger filling which was nice and fresh, my companions all chose the chicken and bacon, this comes readily prepared to the pub so they weren't able to accommodate a request from one of us to serve without bacon.

Best sunday lunch we have ever had. Served piping hot lovely roast potatoes and generous helping of beef. The chef should have a pat on the back for a very tasty meal.A cosy pub with pleasant staff.Full marks and hope you continue to keep up such a good menu.We will be back soon.

Often pop in here , always a nice feel about the place with nice cooked food and a great selection of ales .

Cob and Pen offers many cask ales and beverage choices. They also have a varied food menu with extraordinary options beyond typical pub food. I enjoy the stuffed mushrooms as a main. It has generous portions of grilled goat cheese, baked mushrooms with ratatouille and mixed leaf dressed salad. Burgers are tasty and filling. Greek sharing platter is delicious and comes with garlicky hummus, pita, olives, sun dried tomatoes, feta and tzatziki. The fish and chips aren’t greasy and they taste good. The children’s menu is generous, the mac and cheese is a fave. Lunch menu sandwiches are stellar.

Had a 2 course fixed Christmas lunch with colleagues, we all opted for the turkey, massive portion size with a good selection of accompanying vegetables. Waiting staff are very friendly but lack some finesse, I have a couple to plates passed in front of me and there were no serving spoons for the veg or sauces.

Been today for Sunday lunch. Wonderfull food and service. 11 of us thoroughly enjoyed. Would certainly go again.

We visited the Cob and Pen a few days ago for Sunday Lunch. The pub is in the very quiet Wallington village near Fareham. I have to say, the roast dinner was very good indeed, with a good portion of top quality Beef. The staff, although very young were absolutely brilliant, and nothing was too much trouble, especially as the pub was very busy. If we did have a little niggle, it would have been nicer to have had a few more vegetables with our meal, as there was quite little for the two of us.That said, it was a first class meal, and we will be back very very soon I'm sure.

Five of us sat down today for Sunday lunch. Roast beef was excellent with plenty of fresh accompaniments. Good choice menu at a reasonable rice. Good choice of ales. The Sharps Tribune was delicious. Tasteful country pub with a large beer garden.

Great for kids and the food was wonderful. A really big open garden and the staff are friendly. Lots of things to do and nice range of drinks. The urinals had me in stitches.

A wonderful atmospheric pub. Very friendly staff made us feel very welcome. Table service excellent. Portions sizes very good. All freshly cooked and hot. Chef came to table to check that everything was to our satisfaction. Definitely will eat there again.

Lovely friendly pubs. The staff are very friendly. Table service was quick and easy. The Sunday lunch was lovely..portion size was good.Very well priced. Will definitely use again and recommend to friends.

This may have been a winners prize in Facebook competition but I would still very happily have paid for the food and drink we had..A friendly welcome awaits as soon as you go in the pub that has an olde worldy feel to it.Great service & great food on offer,will definitely make a return visit especially in the summer months to make use of their great beer garden.

Went for a family lunch. food was really good and served quickly. Excellent service and lovely staff who were so friendly and helpful. Brilliant place for children. There's a park and a huge bouncy castle. You can eat outside and watch your kids having fun!!

If you want a pub where you can witness everything not to do in customer service and hospitality then this is the pub for you!

Visited the Cob & Pen for a family roast as it’s close to where my in laws live, hadn’t been in there in years so wasn’t sure what to expect. We were greeted my friendly helpful staff, and a roast dinner that was completely out of this world. Been back loads of times since with friends and family and they all say the same :)

We have eaten here on many occasions and has been great every time so just wanted to say thanks chefs For a very tasty Sunday roast today .I had pork and hubby had beef . Really enjoyed it , thank you chefs and your team ,Great service , great food and value for money !!

Sun shining as we passed by decided to stop staff were excellent very friendly and helpful drinks were fair prices, Food was well presented and portions were good size and quickly served.

I've eaten here a few times over the past couple of months and all meals have been good value and very tasty. The service is good and the prices reasonable.

We "found " this place about 2 months ago, very friendly , superb food, very fast service, and now been back several times with different people, have tried lunchtime, evening and Sunday roast, and all excellent, would thoroughly recommend !!

Stopped on New Years Day for a family meal - great food and a friendly service, all at a good price - couldn't ask for more!

We started our evening here with ales from their great selection and which those of us who were less experienced ale drinkers were encouraged to taste to select our choice.

Came for a meal with group of work friends and all had a fabulous meal with excellent service. Lasagne was very tasty and the mushroom and goat cheese looked an excellent choice too.

Six of us for a birthday lunch. The staff were very friendly and the food very good. The mushroom risotto with Med Veg was excellent. Beer well kept. recommended.

If only my own local was like this. I live in a large village in Somerset, six miles South of Bath that has no less than three pubs and all of them - if not rubbish - non that I would be proud to call my local.

Well this was our first time in this pub and I have to say that it won't be are last the meal was fantastic and huge all well cooked and lovely service and nice surroundings,would highly recommend

Never been before, but as we had friends from Cheshire staying in Titchfield it seemed a good place to try....

Visited last Saturday as part of a large group who had pre booked. I can’t rate it high enough -...

Asked waitress a simple question when first went in to be met with a short and blunt answer. Was told there was one table left. Absolutely filthy, food and plastic cups all over it. When my partner went to order the food he asked them to come and clean it.... that never happened so I had to do it myself. Waitress brought cutlery over but assumed we already had some but I corrected her as these were the dirty ones left on the table. Literally less than 5 minutes after we ordered, our food arrived. That was the quickest roast dinner ever! The veg was hard, the potatoes, pudding and lamb was all a struggle to cut! I left most of it on the plate because the more I tried to eat the more frustrated I became at struggling to cut my food! Honestly the worst roast dinner ever would never go back.

We received a very warm from all the members of staff when we entered the pub, we didn't get that feeling of being an outside. We asked for a seat in the restaurant and a table was made up for us. We both had the Sunday roast and this came out piping hot, loads of meat on the plate, great big yorkshire pudding and a side serving of 3 vegetables, all cooked to perfection. I have to say the meal was lovely, lots of it and most importantly it was tasty. We were to full up to have a desert but have already said we would come back here to have another lunch other than on a Sunday.The welcome we were given said everything about the Cob & Pen, we will definitely be coming back and its a real shame its taken us this long to realise that the Cob and Pen was close by.

Went here for a friend's birthday meal last night and the whole evening was a success from the lovely food to excellent table service from Tom West.Very friendly young man, who knows his job well. Couldn't do more to help us celebrate. And the fact we were a large group of women (12) didn't faze him at all. This young man will go far

The staff here are great, as is the food and atmosphere. It is dog friendly here, they are allowed anywhere on the lead and if they are well behaved. There is a decent pub garden with kids play area (the bouncy castle is often up), patio area with lots of picnic benches and also a BBQ that can be hired. All in all its a great place to spend time with family and friends (both human and canine). It gets pretty busy in the summer.

The real feel of an Olde English pub, right on the river. Lovely friendly staff. Great atmosphere. Some lovely walks around

1 mile from Fareham overlooking River Wallington with good parking.Excellent newly established children's playing area. Also hosts BBQs in the garden.Used to be used by certain Prince when in area long time ago with his friends.After a long walk in wheat fields nearby we pre booked. Chef recently changed so unable top rebook our meals. Service good and meal excellent value for money . We were all pleasantly impressed. Will reuse.

Wow. Completely blessed to have just moved into Wallington and discover that the Cob and Pen is my local. Quality beer, brilliant bar staff and food to die for. We both had the ribeye, medium rare, served with chunky hand made chips, fiery peppercorn sauce and a slab of creamy Stilton topping off mine. Scrumptious. All credit for it being cooked to perfection by chef Lee. Epic. That was Wednesday. Today is Sunday and it's our third visit as the food, service and cheer, does not disappoint. Do not deny yourself, get down there asap!David and Tara.

I discovered this pub by accident having recently moved into the area. In a lovely setting with lots of space for children (although we had none). The meals were nice and reasonably priced. The sports area was quite loud but then a major football game was playing. Got the impression it's a bit of a local's pub but if you fancy a cheap and cheerful meal in a pretty village you could do a lot worse!

We had never been to wallington before although we only live about 10 miles from there We went into the Cob and pen and had a lovely lunch Must admit not overly busy but the service was very good and the food was excellent They were very good portions for the price and very well cooked and presented thank you to the chef Keith Will definitely be going back

We had chosen this family pub because of the good quality food that we had in the past for Sunday lunch.We knew that it was able to accommodate the children as the garden is fantastic. But what made the day great was the chef, we had organised a cold buffet. This was excellent home made food. The chef was very attentive and accommodating. The bar staff were excellent too. I would strongly recommend this pub for any occasion. 5 stars

Family Sunday Roast time - 5 of us and we all chose something different, Gammon, Pork, Lamb, Beef and Vegetarian options.easy parking and the welcome was good when we arrived.Food arrived within 15 minutes, good portions, really well cooked and presented. Table service also very good.Reasonably priced for the quality of the food.Would definitely recommend but suggest you book before you go to ensure you get a place :-)

It was really nice having a choice of gammon, chicken, lamb, beef or pork - and the food was delicious, really generous servings and nice selection of vegetables, great yorkshire puddings and choice of accompanying sauces! We'll definitely be back. Excellent value too!

Went in for a business lunch and was happily surprised to see Steak Rossini on the specials board. After our drinks and food order was taken, there was quite a wait for the food (in excess of 30 minutes) and as we were the first people in, and they were not exactly busy I expected a quicker service. My steak was cooked almost as I had asked, and had a slightly funny taste.The leeks were undercooked, the cauliflower various stages of cooked, and the swede, while tasty, was a little wet. There was a hint of pepper and butter and not exactly unpleasant, but not overly tasty either.The dauphinoise was obviously warmed up as it has a very crispy top and the madeira sauce did not taste of much.All in all the food lacked substance and seasoning. Unfortunately you do not get a second chance at a first impression.Based on this visit I would not be in a hurry to go back.

Had the most fabulous lunch here today. Food was yummy, service was speedy and our food was so hot that it set the smoke alarm off! Thank you for a great late lunch- try the cheesecake- it's the bees!

This dear little pub has changed hands many times over the years and is currently in a safe pair. A good team and scrummy food makes any visit a happy one. There is a fun area for kids outside and bbq for hire. A good venue to celebrate those special occasions and a large outside area to use in the warmer months.

I really enjoy drinking here in the summer and the pub garden is roomy and has adequate seating. I would not however recommend the food. I ordered a burger and chips - when my food eventually arrived, it was cold - the burger tasted like bland cardboard - no flavour and really dry. As it took 20 minutes to get served by the not so happy landlady, we didn't bother complaining. No one came to ask us how our food was or even took the dirty cutlery away for the whole 2 hours we were there. Disappointing. Would return for drinks only.

Ordered the so called catch of the day which was supposedly haddock.we got grease soaked batter with a thin layer of mushy white stuff posing as fish...disgusting and obviously from the freezer!

New chef rolled out his new menu tonight, we were 3 very happy diners. Had the lasagne, homemade burger with incredible fat chips & the best turkey & ham pie, perfect after a long wet run! No fuss, reasonably priced, tasty home-cooked food.

We visited on Mothering Sunday - very busy everywhere of course. We were well looked after and while the food was standard pub fayre, it was nicely prepared and very reasonably priced.

So I love to cook and am quite fussy. Due to having kitchen refurb have eaten 3 times in the last 2 weeks at what is now my local. What can I say? Fish and chips one night. Delicious. Good size portion and very well cooked. 2 nd meal... pie of the day with chips and veg (any choice of potato but of course I chose chips...) absolutely gorgeous. Perfectly cooked veg, amazing homemade pastry, delicious filling and perfect gravy. So... Tonight was 2 curries for a tenner. Been there, done that, been disappointed but not umexpected. Tonight was unexpected. Lamb curry... Tender and tasty. Not from a jar like some pub curry nights, homecooked and lovely, basmati rice was light and tasty, nan and poppadoms to go with it. Good size portions again.

Just had a Mother's Day meal here with my husband and 3 children. Roast lamb was beautiful and they even cooked it to my liking as I dont like my meat pink, potatoes were crispy and everything really well done. Children had chicken and one had a burger and said it was lovely. Puddings were equally as amazing and everyone ate every single bit.Loved the garden as the kids enjoyed being able to have a play and run off some steam between courses. Only thing was kids menu was very limited and only real option for kids desert was ice cream so ended up getting them grown up ones

Came in Sunday 19th March, roast beef was delicious, husband had chicken, pub was so busy they ran out of chicken and beef, son had pork which was also delicious. Crackling was to die for, we were all fighting over it! Banoffee pie was obviously homemade and rustic and absolutely devine! Lovely atmosphere. Entered meat raffle, prizes looked really good but unfortunately we didn't win. Will definitely be booking again. They are advertising several music events that I will definitely look to attend. Had a fab afternoon with a great village pub atmosphere.

First time having a Sunday roast today 19.3.2017, asked for Beef was told no beef left, asked for Chicken....no chicken, no choice but to have Pork...finally arrived after 30 minutes wait. 18month got so fed up with waiting, she got very irritable. Roast was not even a proper joint was rolled pork and full of fat! very unhappy at £9.95 per head, even charged £5/6 for her meal!! complete waste of money. Potatoes were dry and hardly any veg for 3 adults, we hardly ever go out for a roast so will not be re-visiting here again. Certainly not suitable for families.

Only popped in for a few beers but was definitely worth the effort of walking from the "Roundabout Hotel"

Quite nice village pub, popular for food, nice area outside to sit in the summer.Roast dinner was good, more expensive than similar establishments in the area.Huge portions of meat, we did need to ask for more gravy but this was bought to the table by the waiter who was a very nice young man.The promise of crackling and crunchy roast potatoes was a little disappointing as chewy rather than crunchy was served, however they bought some more crackling which was true to its name.We didn't have pudding as the portion size was substantial.The pub itself needs to be a bit more homely, it felt quite sparse and lacked atmosphere but that was just my opinion.Was not keen to leave my credit card behind the bar but this was the system that they used so better to pay as you go or by cash.The young waiter was very polite and happy to accommodate our requests.

Tried this with a 93 year old relative. Excellent welcome and they were admirable in taking account of food needs. Great local beer too.

My first visit to this pub and indeed the village of Wallington. Took my family for lunch and was not disappointed. Good extensive and varied menu and the food was very good. Well kept beer and a good selection. Will return

We braved it again - don't waste your money, go to subway at least the food is edible. Such a shame as the staff are nice. The food is just bad bad pub food!

Could do with changing menu a little bit as seems to only offer the same thing again & again. Not much variety. Not overly impressed with the roast dinner but ok as i wasn't cooking it myself!

Wow! What a pleasant surprise fresh not frozen vegetables....homemade Yorkshire puddings real potatoes and lots of meat and gravy..tasted delicious . Excellent, I was very impressed. Friendly staff too.

Feeling ropey and decided on a walk and found The Cob and Pen. Feels like a real local. Lovely, friendly staff and a quirky interior. Sunday lunch served from 12 was incredible. I could not manage it all. Huge portion of meat and loads of vegs and all tasty. I will go back.

Needed somewhere convenient to M27 to break a journey to Southampton and found this gem. Several food options but we went for a basic favourite of sausage & mash which was excellent. There is a good range of beers and for the designated driver a selection of hot drinks. Service was friendly and the food provided quickly. A much nicer option than motorway services!

A few weeks ago my wife and I visited the Cob & Pen for a Friday lunch. We were amongst the first customers to arrive there to eat ( there were a few people already there for drinks). After perusing the menu, we ordered our food. While we waited other people arrived and ordered their food.Well, we waited and waited,and watched the other tables of people enjoying their food, but after an hour, no sign of ours.When the landlady past our table we enquired as to when we could expect our food.She apologised, and our food arrived soon afterwards.Beinga reasonable person, I put it down to experience, and thought just a one off, an unfortunate circumstance: perhaps the chef was new, or maybe not the regular one.This week, Friday 21st October we thought we'd give it another go, so we arranged to meet friends there for lunch.Again we were about the first customers for food and after perusing the menu again, made our choices.Two of our party chose the pie of the day, I chose the chilli-con carne from the specials board and the.remaining member, a hot dog.Again, other people started to arrive, and again, started to receive their food before us.We called the landlady over to enquire about our order.She went into the kitchen to check, only to reappear a few minutes later and sheepishly came over to tell us that the chef had accidentally dropped the last two portions of pie on the floor. Now we were only a few feet from the kitchen door and heard nothing sounding like a pan or plates being dropped. I suspect that our order was delivered to another customer.Being one of the party that ordered the pie, my wife made a second choice of the gammon & chips, only to be told that they had run out of gammon.Being let down once is forgivable, but twice is downright sloppy.We shan't return there again, which is a shame as it's our local pub.
