The Pear Tree Inn in Eastleigh

Excellent home cooked Sunday roast. Staff all very friendly and welcoming. Felt like a home from home. "We will be back"!!

We are so lucky to have The Pear Tree as our local pub. It is our go to for a friendly drink and the recent light bites menu has been amazing. Great beer garden and ducks and geese at the end of the garden to go say hello to. Very dog friendly, we often pop in with our dog and everyone knows his name. Pictures are a selection of a few of the meals we've had there recently. The ploughmans and the buffalo chicken wings have been a particular favourite of mine. But everything is always excellent and great sized portions. Check their Facebook for an up to date menu as it changes weekly as it is all fresh cooked. Thanks Pear tree team! See you again very soon!

Sunday roasts are back! So glad to be back at the Pear Tree for Sunday roasts. Varied, excellent, home cooked fayre as always. Great salmon salad followed by a smokey succulent lamb shank. Highly recommend this place to everyone. Oh, and I’ve always been warmly welcomed with my puppy. Dog treats at the bar, water bowls outside. Very dog friendly place.

Our dog dared to put a paw on the arm of the chair… and the manager then decided this was reason enough to shout at us all across the bar! The reason being…? Absolutely awful customer service from the manager which is such a shame because most of the customers are amazing…Tina…

I booked the refurbished skittle alley for a 50th party with catering. Molly and her team (she’d roped in her Mum and aunty!) totally exceeded our expectations. We’d arranged a chilli and buffet and it was superb and so generous adding curry and jackets to the endless buffet dishes. I expected a bit of a ‘beige’ buffet but it looked pretty healthy! Always attentive and friendly the team helped make my special evening a real success. Worth every penny for the food and the room hire was free. (Steamtown quoted double and I doubt they could have catered as well as the Peartree crew!) I also hope we got through most of the extra cask you’d ordered Thankyou so much Molly, Nyle and the family. I hope those who came will remember to come back at other times and spread the word. You helped make the night special. I know there’s a bit of ongoing work on the pub and hope it all goes to plan. Pubs like yours deserve to flourish after these last couple of years. Thankyou!

We went there as a change from the bar in the hotel. Prices were good and the drinks were as expected. Only thing missing were other customers. It's a shame to report that there were only four other customers in there apart from the bar staff on a saturday night at 8.00pm. I hope the locals start to use the pub or it is much busier during the day

Dropped in after a doctors visit, always a good ale. We have eaten hear in the past and have never found anything to complain about. Very friendly landlady, also, mostly very friendly locals.

Great country pub, lovely friendly atmosphere, Mollie the landlady was very welcoming and tge Sunday roast was outstanding. We shall def be back. From Toni and Del

This is without a doubt the best roast dinner I have had…I’m really fussy when it comes to roast and this is just amazing! The service is great and Molly the landlady is always so smiley and friendly. Also tried out the pie night which was equally amazing and can’t wait for burger night next week!

So happy that Roast dinners are back! By far the best lamb roast I have had, combined with a great atmosphere and friendly staff. If you are in the area give this little pub a try, they have plenty of options for seating and a nice garden to relax in with a pint after your meal. 10/10 thanks team!

I haven't visited the Pear Tree in a couple of years due to the Pandemic. I saw recently that they had opened back up for Roasts from September so I booked a place for my self and my family (table of 12) as a sort of reunion after many months of not seeing each other altogether. Molly (Pub manager) gave us a private area within the marquee for our event which was lovely. The food was a good as i remember and they even catered for the Dietary requirements of my two children that have dairy allergies. The staff were very attentive and kind and gave a special welcome to the children to make them feel at home. Between courses, we were able to wonder down to the duck pond and have a little look at the kitchen garden which i was told was used to make the soup starter that I had! Fantastic! This is a very friendly and welcoming pub, who have made a lot of excellent changes since taking over a few years ago. I look forward to visiting again one day.

We've visited here a few times and it's one if our favourites. The food is absolutely delightful - tasty, fresh, good portion sizes, and really reasonable! The staff are very friendly and helpful and the pub itself is beautifully decorated, clean and has a lovely atmosphere. You can tell the landlord/landlady put a lot of pride and effort into the look and feel of this place and the huge beer garden and ducks are a bonus! Thanks as always Pear Tree Inn ☺️

Visited this pub a couple of Sundays ago for a roast and was quite easily the best roast I’ve had and at a good price. Due to dietary requirements I couldn’t have either of the starters on offer which the landlady and staff had no problem accommodating and made an off menu suggestion for me, which was amazing! Staff were polite, friendly, welcoming and always on hand for anything. Will definitely be booking in again.

Absolutely lovely food Best roast I’ve ever had! Garden is beautiful Pub is lovely Location is great Great atmosphere The Staff couldn’t be any more helpful Such a nice environment:) I strongly recommend visiting A*****

This pub is shocking, we can for Sunday roast and was abysmal at best, food was cold, given the fatty ends of meat and very old fashioned pub. When try to tell staff we were basically given the cold shoulder and ignored for the rest of our stay. Cutlery was dirty and my glass had lipstick all around the rim. The men's toilets were like a public toilet and the smell was horrendous, I have no idea what food hygiene rating they have but if the toilets are anything to go by I'd say not even a 1. My strong recommendation would be new staff, new owners and a new pub.

So happy that Sunday roasts are back on at the Pear Tree. Charming country pub run by a very dedicated couple. Excellent service and fantastic food.

Had the roast dinner at the pear tree today. Without doubt the loveliest roast I’ve had in years all served with a smile from Molly and Mary-Ann. Nyle is a brilliant cook I cannot recommend highly enough the wonderful roast dinner at the Pear Tree Go you won’t be disappointed

Was greeted with friendliness from the start. Amazing land lady. Was so kind to us. Lovely beer garden.

Gorgeous pie and chips on Pie night. Lovely pub and people. Food was amazing, lovely home cooked feel.

Quite easily the best Sunday lunch in Botley and at a good price. I'm so glad we booked in for Sunday lunch before second lockdown. Food was amazing and service was great. Very covid safe.

We paid a return visit here with family for a Sunday lunch and it was quite simply one of the best Sunday lunches we have had. We had reserved a table which is necessary due to the popularity and were made very welcome. The food...

This pub is a nice relaxed venue for a night out, the staff are really friendly and the food is amazing, I will definitely be coming back.

I visited the Pear Tree Inn with a group of friends, the staff were very welcoming. The atmosphere has a cosy feel to it. When served our food, each course was delicious. The prices are very good and we will definitely be returning.

Walking distance from botley spa hotel so any pre cruise stayers ideal for drinks . We were disappointed as we were looking forward to hot food but they don't serve food on a Tuesday . Drinks reasonable prices

Tasty potato skins, tender roast beef, crunchy roast potatoes, fresh vegetables, cauliflower cheese, Huge Yorkshire puddings, and lashings of gravy. Perfect, as always.

I'd booked for 4 of us- the others hadn't been before and i'd only been once. We all thoroughly enjoyed our roast beef. Nicely presented with good selection of vegetables. Friendly service in this pub. It is a pub not a restaurant but the food...

Fantastic local country pub which offers excellent food, served by lovely staff in a relaxed atmosphere

Popped to the Pear Tree for a spot of lunch with friends. We hadn't tried the new menu yet so were keen to try the new dishes. I had the three cheese lasagne which was tasty, full of cheese and veg between the layers of...

Despite living locally had never visited this pub - it is great - big garden, bright and cheerful inside, good food and very friendly landlady. Glad to have tried it and will be back!

What a pleasure! Lovely pub with a great selection of beverage. I could stay in here all day... and to be honest the roasty was so bloody good I’m considering another. I will be visiting again and recommending to all. Fantastic service by the lovely...

Incredible home cooked food. Keep up the good work, the word is spreading! Lovely atmosphere and beer!

This is the first time we have visited for one of the Peartrees Sunday roasts and it really didn’t disappoint. The beef was beautifully cooked & the roast potatoes were delicious, the only downside was that we didn’t get a Yorkshire pudding & had to...

We booked a table for Sunday lunch and we all loved the food. The meats were perfectly cooked, nicely presented, generous portions and came with all the trimmings, including homemade yorkshires, stuffing, cauliflower cheese and veg. Service was excellent and overall great value for money!

Fantastic Sunday roast as usual. Lovely homemade potato skins, succulent and tender roast beef, followed by a freshly made Eton mess. Perfect for a sunny summer afternoon in the beer garden, washed down with a pint of Doom Bar. Would highly recommend - this place...

If you’re look for an awesome roast dinner look no further! We live local and have tried all the pubs for a Sunday roast and this is by far the best, not only is the food amazing but Molly & Nyle have created such a...

We have been to the Pear tree many times now since moving into the area. The pub managers Nyle and Molly are so friendly and accommodating, they are relatively new to this pub and are putting so much time and effort into making it beautiful....

This pub is an amazing, friendly, local pub. Over the last 12 months we have been many times for food and/or drinks. Food is currently only available Wednesday - Sunday 12-3. Sundays get very busy so make sure you book! We've had loads of things...

We can't believe the transformation to this pub which has made it now a great place to visit and eat at as well. We had pre-booked for Sunday lunch with friends and were glad we did. Previous reviews on TA tell the story - the...

Great things come in small packages and the pear tree is no exception. Their sunday lunches are amazing, home cooked with all the trimmings. Lunch through the week is a good offering with several ciabatta and usually a pie of the week and soup of...

Small,but very friendly home from home roast dinner at very affordable price. although the menu is small the food is of excellent quality. You would need to book for Sunday lunch as covers are quite small, which is why the food tastes just like a...
