The Vine Inn in Eastleigh

Amazing! We had an overnight stop in Eastleigh on 8 November 2024 before our cruise and fancied Fish and Chips. A quick Google search and Chip Stop came up. What a find! The best fish and Chips we have had in decades. Crisp Batter, well cooked, great taste and nice and dry batter and chips. It is a shame we live 300 miles away.

I went in thinking what could possibly go wrong at a Subway? I was wrong 🙂 The staff needs training and by training I mean right from the basics- LISTENING to the customers. First things first, the lady didn't even hear me properly and assumed what I wanted. Thankfully the other guy noticed her picking up the wrong thing and pointed out at the same time I was going to point out. Maybe it was lack of concentration or maybe she was just new and scared so I let it go. Followed by that I started telling her what I wanted in my veggie sandwich. I told her to start with lettuce and then add tomato, onion, etc. She denied saying "I will put lettuce at the end" and put the wet tomatoes first then other things, then sauce, and then lettuce at the end. What I ended up with was dry and hard leaves of lettuce falling out of the sandwich with not one bit of sauce on the leaves. I even pointed that out at the end to which she said "oh okay" 🙂 The other guy asked if I wanted it remade but I hate wasting food and I really didn't have the time, energy, and patience to get another one made after a long tiring day. £6.99 for a sloppy sandwich which was not even wrapped properly. Thank God I had a bag to carry it or it would've definitely fallen on my way home. The Central Station and Giddy Bridge branches are way better.

Hi. Just I entered for lunch and they not answer back my hello and said we are booked for evening. I asked for lunch menu as they advertised but said no staff and we can give you chips. The chips and beer was bad and it’s better they close it. Please even don’t try it with this rude people.

Soggy and salty chicken strips. Look elsewhere for your junk food cravings.
