I came here with my family and friend. The food was amazing and so many choices to pick from on the menu including their own gluten free menu and vegan menu so that everyone is included in their freshly made produce. We had their freshly made garlic cheesy bread, a crispy chicken burger and their chocolate brownie. The portion sizes are very generous and definitely got our moneys worth. We cannot wait to come back in the summer to their relaxing pub. To experience their welcoming service and a pint in the garden.

We were a large group of 40+. The staff were excellent, very polite and friendly. We had preordered, but wanted to be fed as one group, food was served very quick, very hot and tasted lovely. No complaints from anyone, all will or have recommended to friends and family. Many were first time visitors but plan to return. Any last minute changes were made with no complaints from the pub. Very accommodating staff and owners.

I went in for a quick bit of lunch with my father. I had 3 of the vegan options. Sun dried tomato Mac n Cheese, Beer battered onion rings, and Garlic mushroom toast. The onion rings were super crisp and well seasoned and the mac n cheese was the best vegan mac n cheese I’ve had. Everything was piping hot and tasted amazing. Portions were good and everything was well priced.

Last three visits to the Fighting Cocks have left me with a sense of bewilderment. What has happened here? What was once a decent place to eat is now no longer on my list of place to go (and in Gosport that doesn’t leave me much) Food is mostly deep fried and very salty and yet price remains high. Staff seemed disinterested in whether we liked what we were being served (it’s as if they already know that what this place now serves is below previous standards). The place really lacks any sense of direction and is disjointed (lots of “staff” operating behind the bar and have access to kitchen but I am not sure they all work there??) There are many other points I can make here but don’t want to name individuals or appear too harsh but this place has slipped under the current regime and I for one will not eat here again.

We visited yesterday for Sunday lunch, we were greeted by friendly and helpful staff and having had a drink first we were shown to our table. Ordering was quick and the food arrived quickly too. We ordered 2 roast pork, 1 lamb shank, one vegetarian meal and 1 pork and chorizo meatball tagliatelle. We all agree the food was gorgeous. The honeycomb cheesecake was divine. The staff were fantastic and the place has a great atmosphere.

Once again can't say enough about the food and service at The Fighting Cocks. The evening was enjoyable from start to finish, with the additional bonus of some Shanty singing. If you're looking for good food good service and good company you will not go wrong. Looking forward to new winter and Christmas menus.

Met a couple of old friends here on a recommendation for Sunday dinner. It did not disappoint at all. Made to feel welcome the moment we stepped in the door. We hadn’t booked ahead but were given a table in the restaurant area. The food was great. I had the topside beef. Everything cooked to perfection. My wife had the lamb and said it was great. We sat there for 5 hours drinking and eating. The staff were attentive and polite. I thought the bill was very reasonable and would recommend this place to everyone. Shane we are only visiting Gosport for a short time.

We went here yesterday to celebrate our granddaughter’s birthday. We have eaten here a few times before and always found the food and service good. However, this time we were left very disappointed. The food was clearly microwaved, the hunters chicken was very dry and chewy. The chicken wings were undercooked with slimy skin. There was no table service, no check backs on the food and no table clearing until we decided to do it ourselves! Found it to be a complete letdown, we spent a lot of money there and were left disappointed. We won’t be returning any time soon!

I was looking for the best place in the Gosport area to have Sunday lunch. Although the Fighting Cocks looks like a small local pub it is surprisingly spacious inside. There was a good selection of Roasts available, Lamb shank, Pork, Beef and Gammon. We ordered the gammon. The service was excellent and despite it being busy the food arrived quickly and it was delicious, fantastic roast potatoes, lots of meat and a wide selection of very tasty veg. It was just a shame that it was slightly let down by not being hot enough.

First time of eating here and it with not be the last one. Such a welcome on entering the premises made feel welcome went straight to table, allowed to settle in menu’s given and drinks ordered and served quickly , so we could browse menu. Menu straight forward and catered for all included Gluten free menu. Had Prawns and Chorizo starter, followed by Pulled Brisket, mash etc. this is a menu not for faint hearted large portions and very tasty followed by Dessert of Blackcurrant Sorbet ( 3 scoops) wife had Goats cheese starter followed by Chilli Con Carne again large portions followed by Cheesecake Dessert. A very filling meal did not leave much room for anything else . Waiting staff even though they were not standing around as they had a function on, we were not left waiting they were polite, attentive and you felt looked after by one of them. Surprisingly the bill for the food and drink was modest price for the standard of the food , tasty , hot and prompt.

Reading the reviews, it seems to vary a lot depending on the chef. All we can say is that we had a really enjoyable meal here today. We came quite a distance and pre-ordered as we were a large party. The food was delicious, from the onion bhajis/Scotch eggs (which I had a try of !!) to the minute steak which can often be quite a disappointment. All the food ordered disappeared fast off our plates so thank you to those working at lunchtime today. Very impressed and, if you can keep it consistently good like this, you really can't go wrong :-). Well done and thank you for surprising us in a positive way !!

We discovered this pub 6 months ago. We have since been there around 10 times for meals as is walking distance for us. A really big attraction is that they give equal attention to vegetarian, meat and gluten free dishes. As a family of three with vegetarian and meat eaters we have had some lovely meals. A few more fish options would be good but generally the menu has a good variety of choices. Others have noted that vegetables with Sunday roasts are hard - from our experience it’s great to find a venue which doesn’t over cook the veg to mush, they seem to hit about the right mark for us. We have found the team to be welcoming and friendly even wrapping ham hock bones as a take home for the dog! So generally this has been a great experience, but nothing had ever gone wrong. Having a child free day yesterday we went to the pub As a couple looking forward to a nice relaxed early evening. The starter took a while to arrive and when it did the waitress advised she had written the order incorrectly and both starter and main had been cooked to come out together. As we didn’t want our main getting cold we asked not to have them at the same time. It felt as though we had given the wrong answer and disappointed the waitress . We had the starter (lovely) and then the main arrived.... the ham egg and chips was swimming in oil, the egg was rock hard and there was an absence of pineapple chutney although a strange arrival of coleslaw. The piri piri chicken was dry. It seemed likely that the food had been kept ‘warm’ and, as a result, dried/solidified. Our drinks had run out halfway through the main, previously staff had been quite attentive in checking for top ups. Not on this occasion. No one cleared our mains for us or asked if we wanted dessert and so eventually we went to the bar and paid and left. So... everyone has a bad day and occasionally things will go wrong we all know that. But it is how places deal with that which is important. So yes we would recommend this pub but, from our experience, do be prepared to be disappointed if something goes wrong.

3 of us had the Sunday roast beef lunch - these were not at all good. The food came out from the kitchen very quickly and it tasted like it had been standing pre-cooked for a while! The roast beef was very dry and chewy and didn’t have any pink whatsoever in the meat - on the menu it said the roast beef is cooked as rare! It was horrible. The roast potatoes were tasteless and some of them hard - the roast parsnip was very hit and miss - one piece almost raw and the other piece burnt. Hardly any gravy at all on the dinner... we asked if we could have some more but only 2 little jugs came out between the 4 of us. The Yorkshire puddings were cold. The food was Such a disappointment & a complete waste of hard earned money. I should imagine it would be nice to sit outside in the garden if the weather is nice and you have children. Also very dog friendly- there were quite a few dogs there on Sunday. We were very much looking forward to our Sunday roast so we were very disappointed indeed with our food.

We were a table of 6 celebrating a 70th birthday. The birthday boy didn't know it was going to happen. The staff were incredible and helped to make it a very special occasion. They placed us where we were not jostled, and where we could keep two little well behaved dogs under the table out of harms way. They were attentive at every point, and were extremely good humoured enjoying the fun with us and extremely efficient. The food was excellent . There was nothing we could fault in any way. Thank you Fighting Cocks, all of you. We will certainly be back again. (Next time in a taxi so we can enjoy more of that wonderful 6x.)

Great beers and good pub food - ideal for a drink and evening meal after visiting the Royal Navy Submarine Museum at Gosport . As well as a spacious dining area, there is a large garden. It was good to see how popular this pub was with both locals and visitors - it had a real buzz. We stayed at the Old Lodge Hotel and this pub was about half way between the hotel and museum (about 30 min walk between the two), so a great stop-off point.

From the outside you might think you could squeeze in a dozen people. Actually, there must be at least 60 covers plus a large garden! It has Victorian charm which hasn't been lost in the expansion. We dropped in by chance and it was excellent in every respect. Dog friendly for a start, good vegan menu, table service, home cooked food and everything we ordered was very good. Service was amazing, I think they should start up a sideline business training other pubs and restaurants how to do it.

This is certainly a hidden gem - not what you expect from the outside. Walking through the door you are greeted with friendly staff. The decor is fantastic, really cozy. The conservatory/dining area is great - really bright and spacious. The garden is wonderful - lots of seating and great to have a play area for the little ones. The staff are really friendly. The food is really good - you certainly know you are getting home cooked food. We have only been here twice now because didn't realize how good it was inside. We will definitely be going back lots :-)

Found this place by accident, having taken a wrong turn in the town. I was certainly glad I did. Super friendly owners, good menu...but not a cheap one...free car parking in the street and opposite the pub, free WiFi, reasonable selection of beers, lagers and cider.

We booked a table for 10 people and were greeted with a smile as soon as we walked in the door. When the table was booked, we were advised they only serve roast dinnners on Sundays which we were perfectly happy with. We were seated in the extension which was warm and comfortable. Food was brought out all at the same time piping hot with the most impressive Yorkshire puddings and extra gravy! The beef was so tender and the standard portion sizes were ample....if you consider the Big One, check out this photo. The bill was happily separated out by the manager to make paying easier.Most impressive and best roast dinner by a mile. Will definitely visit again.
