The best restaurants in Fair Oak and Horton Heath Eastleigh South East

A great evening. Well thought out tasting menu, well cooked and delicious. Lovely waiting staff and chefs. Highly recommended. Very obliging catering for restricted diets.

Fabulous roast lamb dinner! The meat just fell off the bone, and the accompaniments were delicious. Would have preferred a slightly lower level of lighting for the atmosphere, but then that's just me, I suspect. Can't wait to go again.

Good food and good quality service

Great little traditional pub that, unlike many, has not pivoted to become a pub restaurant. Great atmosphere and they also have a pool table!

Oh wow! What an incredible menu and the service was absolutely phenomenal. The food was out of this world. It was fresh and the flavours were absolutely exquisite well worth the visit.

Best Sunday roast I’ve had in a long time! Luke is a brilliant chef and it will not be long before I’m back for more.

The best chinese take away I've ever had.

Ordered on a Monday. Cooked in a reasonable time, collected and food was warm and correct, staff friendly. Our curries were very tasty, will use again.

We had a friends/family night at the Fox, there was over 100 of us, Food buffet style. Well presented, very tasty curry and chilli, pizza option with fries, plus trimmings. The staff worked tireless, I would and my guests recommend the pub. It's been down on its luck but with new manageress and great chef additions recently, can be the place to visit. Thanks and good luck all.

Unbelievable experience from the minute we entered Fishers Pond! Firstly, the food! Out of this world! Steak cooked to perfection! Lamb skewers beautiful and tender! Signature burger amazing! Secondly, the service! We were served by Neil and what an absolute gentleman he was! Very knowledgable on the history of the pub and area and took time out of his busy workload to talk to us about the origins of the pub and he was very funny too! An absolute credit to Fishers Pond as were all the staff we encountered! Lastly, overall! You will not be disappointed to if you visit this place! I work up and down the country in my role at work staying in a wide variety of places and eating in a number of establishments and this is up there with anything I have experienced. Well done all, keep up the great work, my friends and I will be back!

We went here as it was recommended by a few different family members as a lovely shop and place to eat, but unfortunately were incredibly disappointed. We ordered a breakfast for us and the childrens brunch for our son. It all came out really quickly after we ordered. Unfortunately it was all cold and went stone cold really quickly at the table. So it was horrible, really not nice to eat when it’s like that, we ended up leaving most of it. Such a shame as it looked nice. There was no way it could have been cooked to order that quickly and also have been so cold, I can only assume most of the elements had been cooked much earlier and kept warm ( but not that warm!). No butter/spread came with it for the toast either so that wasn’t nice to eat either, we did look if there was any self serve but couldn’t see any. The childrens dish was completely unsuitable for a small child. If you’re going to do a childrens plate it needs to be suitable for little children, bearing in mind that older children will probably just order from the adult menu, not just put a few bits of the adult food on a smaller plate. A huge adult sausage which was completely unsuitable, a thimble of cold baked beans, just clearly a plate put together by someone who knows nothing about feeding small children, and by the way cold baked beans and cold scrambled egg really is disgusting. I am not sure how the egg was so cold if this was freshly made for our son, answer it wasn’t. For what we paid for this, this was really gutting for it to be so disappointing and inedible. I wished we had not wasted our money as we basically came home £40 odd quick lighter and still hungry. However not put off by the dining to look at the shop, we browsed after and selected a few Christmas bits. It has a lovely shop and Christmas range. We went to the till and the woman, called Katie, according to our receipt, was so rude and miserable, she wouldn’t speak to us at all, she didn’t smile, she didn’t say hello, she didn’t say thanks, it was embarrassing/uncomfortable and I almost said just leave it and put the items back. Really unpleasant experience. We walked back to the car like, wow that was odd and horrible and we’ve just spent all this money again now to feel like this! Felt really badly treated. So yeah wouldn’t recommend this place and definitely won’t be going back, no matter how aesthetically pleasing the shop is and how nice the baubles are, there are much better and friendlier places.

The staff excellent friendly and vey welcoming. The food is always amazing had the best coronation chicken sandwich and delicious chips. On past visits had the lasagne again very tasty although unless you have a large appetite go for the small then you may have room for the tasty desserts.

Five star little cafe. The cafe is situated inside the InExcess garden centre. There is seating inside (not dog friendly) & also a lovely courtyard seating area, that is dog friendly. Staff are lovely & helpful. You pay inside & food & drinks are brought to your table. Coffees were very good. Lovely sandwich & one of the best Dorset Apple Cakes I’ve tasted.

Very disappointing. They may have full table service but it’s not a restaurant. Their floors are not just dirty but filthy, their service is very poor (very slow (on a number of occasions I had to go and look for someone), incompetent, clueless) and as if that wasn’t bad enough, their prices are exorbitant. They’re a little ridiculous, caught between a very nice restaurant’s prices but yet a typical pub's decor and “feel”. The combination simply does not justify the prices. The portion sizes aren't even that good either. Pretty on the outside with the nice flowers and all but there are a number of nicer (proper) restaurants I’d rather go to (that, to be honest, would probably cost less) before I’d go to the Brigadier Gerard again. Sorry, but I simply cannot recommend this pub in good conscience.

We've been here several times for lunch and we will not be coming again. Expensive food that's not that good. It does look much better than the old cafe that was there before but that is all I can say about it.
