The Village Inn in Fareham

Very friendly pub, lovely food, service was very good, would highly recommend

Great time here on Saturday night, very busy but staff had the time to help me deciding what ale to go for! Great food as well as beer 👌

Came in for drinks tonight for my friends birthday. The staff Liam, Anya, Mollie and Matt were phenomenal! The pub had lots of atmosphere and was nice and busy!

Up the saints, great service, mollie great service

Millie was fantastic as always great pub

Was served a rank and v cloudy pint of hophead. Awful. Mentioned it to the bar staff and they did nothing. Won’t be back.

First visit found to be very friendly and good service delicious food and coffee

Food and service was amazing. Jess and Molly done a great job, very pleased would happily go again

Pretty lady behind the bar was very kind

Wonderful service from Matt and Anya

Stopped off when out on my bike. Food was amazing as was the service, thanks guys will definitely be back

Good food and good drinks very friendly staff

I was served by Anya and she was particularly lovely but all the staff were very accommodating

I was served by Anya this evening and her service skills are immaculate. She’s a real credit to the company. The food was amazing as well

Dog friendly, good choice of food, friendly staff

Value for money. A bit cold where we sat.

Vastly improved from the period before the pandemic . Good range of meals at a sensible price - particularly the set lunchtime options - and now have some vegan choices too. Not the huge range of real ales from the distant past, but still able to buy a decent pint - especially Mondays and Thursdays at £2.99 per pint! Friendly staff, too. November update:Just had a great lunch there today, and tried the mixed grill - it was amazing! I wasn't expecting to be given so much good quality and well cooked meat! Have never had a better mixed grill anywhere! November 2024 - beers now more expensive, but still discounted on Mondays and Thursdays. Menu has been changed, but still offering an excellent choice and decent value.

Good food, reasonable ale. Staff were helpful... I asked for a different bun with my burger (don't get me started on the dreaded brioche), but they had no alternative to offer. Barmaid went to enquire from the kitchen, came back suggesting a panini baguette, which I agreed to. When it came out, it was very well presented, the chef had obviously taken care over making it look great and fitting the new bread. And, it was very nice. Win - win.

Just visited the Village Inn with my friend, and I can't praise the staff and food enough! I had the sea bass on a bed of sweet potato and chickpea curry—absolutely divine. For dessert, I went for the sticky toffee pudding with ice cream, and it was pure heaven. Our waitress, Jazz, was fantastic—friendly, professional, and really knowledgeable. The wine list was extensive, and we shared a bottle of Bijou, which was delicious. All in all, a fabulous experience—on par with a top restaurant. Highly recommend!

Just eaten an amazing meal here, I had the sea bass on a bed of sweet potato and chickpea curry, just wonderful. For dessert, I had crème brûlée which was the best I’ve had in a long time, the crisp caramelised top was perfect. I shared a bottle of Bijou as recommended by the really friendly and knowledgeable staff. Jazz was so helpful and friendly, just what you need with the vast choice on offer for food and drink. I will come back again and again.

Fantastic family spot for food and drinks. Staff are brilliant Cannot fault the food spot on every time. Great prices. The app is handy for loyalty points to get freebies. Can’t wait for my next visit

Excellent service by Olivia & all staff,food very good & tables/surfaces etc kept clean at all times

Food is brilliant Staff are very friendly and helpful Good family pub

Great pub with lovely food and very friendly staff. Will definitely come back soon!

Warm comfortable pub. Delicious food and really friendly service from Olivia and Liam. Will definitely be back, thanks

Staff are great and friendly and even when under pressure they can’t do too much for you.

Food was very nice Good service at the bar

Amazing Service from Olivia today, really looked after us and made us feel welcome My family were disappointed on a previous visit and this really made up for it! Can't wait too come back soon

This was our first visit. Generally everything was fine. Decent menu variety. Food was fresh, nicely presented and tasty. The only real downside, given the time of year, was the room temperature. Thermostat needed to be turned up a couple of notches...it really wasn't very warm!.

Book a table had to queue at bar to find our table there was a 40 min wait so didn't bother to stay as would have to queue again when we decided what to eat

Been to the pub a few times and used the the terminal to put reg everytime. Still ended up with a fine. All automated can't fight the fine clearly a cash grab. So will not visit again. The food and drink isn't worth the fine

This pub has been my go to for 8 years, the bar staff have great personalities and work very well together. The beer selection has a nice seasonal change also. The kitchen serve great food and the chemistry between the back of house and front of house is like an episode of the chuckle brothers. Overall a great from experience, great staff, great food and drinks, highly recommend.

A busy night due to 50% offer but service excellent and food great as always

Matt and Anya were lovely. Food was great, will be back!

It would be nice to have a pint of Abbot ale but they don't have it on tap. Hunky barmen and tasty barmaids.🍺🍺🍺

Great food and a had a great drink

Good meal, good value, comfortable surrounding Neighbouring diner with a really loud ringtone

Have visited The Village Inn a few times recently and have always been impressed with the food. Pub food can be hit or miss but have always enjoyed my meal here and the staff have always been friendly.

Food, Service and overall meal was great. The staff are friendly and efficient and a credit to the company. No complaints from me.

Love this place, my absolute favourite for all events. Staff are fab, foods great, good prices and plenty of parking. 😁

Beautiful atmosphere fantastic food very friendly staff

My husband and I came for Christmas lunch with our friend on Christmas Day. It was a wonderful experience. The atmosphere in the place was lovely. The staff were happy and helpful. It was the best Christmas Day dinner we’d ever had. Really appreciated the attention to detail. The little things, like a Christmas card on the table for us. The place was decorated beautifully. Thank you. We will be recommending you.

Lovely little pub. Perfect for a works party pub crawl!

Olivia was our waitress, she was lovely.

Lovely meal great atmosphere thankyou lovely waitress Olivia

Olivia was absolutely amazing waitress! So friendly and helpful couldn’t do enough for us! She is a credit to you!

Our waitress was called Olivia she was very helpful, kind and welcoming she made sure we all enjoyed our food. Lovely lady

Olivia was the best service we could wish for

Friendly pub with decent food at fair prices. Good selection of beer, cider and spirits. Nice atmosphere. Worth a visit or even several visits for sure. Remember to enter your registration at the bar for parking.

Lovely atmosphere, food amazing, staff always friendly

Came in tonight for the live music and some food, it was a brilliant atmosphere with people dancing and singing. The food was delicious and the service was very professional and quick. Thank you Olivia, Anya, Matt, Liam and Lauren and Nathaniel in the kitchen! We will definitely be back!

Lovely meal, amazing family atmosphere, great from service from Matt.

Such a great pub! The food was delivered quickly and tasted wonderful. Special thanks to Olivia our waitress and Matt, Liam and Anya on the bar. We will be back for more live music in the future!

Came here today 7/12 for Christmas lunch with 2 friends,food was delicious,served hot,quick service by friendly staff,really good price as well,will definitely go again.

Food was ok. Atmosphere was ok. Service was the issue. Plates were left too long to be collected. The end of the evening, bill was not asked for however it appeared on the table by Matt. No deposit removed. Our annual get together was ruined by the implication that “they needed the bills paid” there was a tab so we would not do a runner! Pub/food area was not due to shut… why the rush??

I love this place, Great food and friendly staff.

Nicely situated by the station. Decent food and selection of drinks. Good ambient atmosphere.

Can't fault the service. The staff are always welcoming. Good menu and good value too

Service great, food good for the price and staff friendly.

I came here for my birthday lunch and we were very happy. The food was amazing and very good value for money. We were sat next to the fire and it was so lovely and cosy. Also the staff were lovely and the lady who was bringing our food over was so amazing! I don't know her name but please do let her know that she was great. We will definitely be returning.

Beautiful pub. Lovely roaring fire added to the atmosphere. Service fantastic, food fantastic. Lunch time set menu was so worth the money. Will be going back

Buena comida y servicio. Natalie y el tipo detrás de la barra era muy eficiente. Sin duda recomendaría. Muy buena relación calidad-precio

Beer battered haddock & chips. Fantastic. Best batter I think I've ever had 😀

The manager was very welcoming and chatty. I had a Guinness which is always well poured and the bacon cheeseburger which was very tasty (compliments to the kitchen staff) Always a pleasure coming to the Village inn

Great service all round friendly and inviting

Please get the basics right and let the Guinness settle properly. Lad had no reason to rush it mid afternoon.

Food arrived quickly was tasty and staff were lovely

Gran pub con personal muy amable y comida fantástica. Recomiendo el nuevo filete y pastel Guinness, absolutamente hermoso.

El mejor pub de la zona, la comida siempre es fresca y muy deliciosa y el personal siempre es muy amable recomendaría a cualquiera

Just eaten the slow cooked beef ribs, absolutely delicious. First visit, will be back! Staff were great and pub was impeccably clean

Great evening yesterday. Food from the 3 course menu was nice and good value for money. Nat the bar lady was really helpful, funny and a credit to the venue.

The beer is the best in park gate what can I say being very local to some top brass what can I say? Come and see for yourself?

Natalie was a star and very great service! She was honestly amazing and made it a very good experience for us and made us feel very welcome.

Top service Natalie and matt especially. Great atmosphere

Really nice place. Super friendly attentive staff. Nice little find. Food was great value. Definitely be back.

Was a Monday evening so quiet, but clean and well done out...,just been Thursday evening busy but good service and food hot.

Love the refurbishment long overdue it looks fantastic now however I wish the food lived up to it the mains are great but they seem to fail on some of the smaller bites (not the end of the world) This won't stop me returning nor should stop anyone else. the drinks flow like we'll drinks and the atmosphere is is very inviting and warm

Came in on a Friday afternoon for the special offer on two courses (also a three course offer is available). Good value, friendly staff, and very clean toilets too. Soft drinks are a bit expensive but that is common to many public houses.

Great environment to enjoy a lovely family meal. We take our little one and he loves it here. Staff are super friendly and the quality of food for what you pay is a bargain! Would definitely come back

The ale selection was great! Having 4 to choose from was really nice. The staff were all really friendly and happily having a laugh with us too!

Exceptional service from Anya, would recommend for a great atmosphere and tasty food.

Best pub in the area when it comes to quality and value of food by a mile. Never a bad meal. Decent drinks available Not overpriced

Fantastic food. Staff are very attentive and friendly. Will definitely be returning.

Great pub , staff are really friendly great atmosphere.

Lovely food as always looking forward to going back soon.

Friendly staff and excellent food, always a great stop off!

Solid choice for a cold beverage and a hot plate of grub. Would highly recommend to people that are thirsty or hungry.

Nice gammon meal and Doom Bar ... would return.

Good customer service, varued menu, catered for dairy free desserts too, bonus as not many places do other than vegan ice cream.

Come here very often. It's a great pub and the staff are a credit to the place!. Very friendly and welcoming, the Food has been consistently good for many years now. Quick table service and looks great after the recent refurb. Liam and the team are doing a great job and running the pub like it should be run!, can't fault the place.

Had Sunday roast. Lovely and plentiful .Good choice of vegetable and a good selection of desserts and starters

Nice place and friendly but the food portions are Very very small even a child wouldn’t be full up. I had the haddock and chips

Lovely fit out, amazing value… Friendly staff, and efficient Awesome 2 / 3 course deals lunch and dinner Mon-Thurs….. Good hearty food Great experience, will return 🫶

Holiday visit . Staff very polite and very efficient Venue looks great, warm, soft carpets, great ambience & spotless toilets Sticky chicken 10/10 Shepard’s pie 9/10 Amazing value…def worth a visit 🦩

Just popped in for a pint on the way home. Clean and spacious pub

This is the Jekyll & Hyde. Not village inn . Popped in here Saturday for some lunch. I cover 30 - 50 Hotels Restaurants pubs in my work. The food here had a Greek vibe to it. As Manager Christopher was an excellent host. Very polite & friendly. Plus good knowledge on Greek food. Excellent pub food. Highly recommended.

The pub in nice inside. The garden furniture is dirty, broken and there wasn't one parasol for shade on the really hot days.
