The best restaurants in Hamble-le-Rice and Butlocks Heath Eastleigh South East

The food at this restaurant is delicious and authentic. The chefs are Thai and create beautiful tasting food. I, personally, am a huge fan of the green curry, and this is available in vegetarian or a choice of meats as well as a preferred spice heat, and has never disappointed. The staff are very attentive and friendly and welcoming which makes the experience perfect. I will definitely visit this restaurant again.

Brilliant, excellent service and food

First time trying food from here and we'll 100% be back again. Food was nice, prices are very reasonable and the portions are huge. Plus the staff we're good with special requests plus helps you can order by phone and have ready to be collected.

Staying at a nearby campsite we visited this cosy pub for something to eat and drink we weren't disappointed. Nice local Ales and a reasonable menu for good food. This I think is a pub mainly used by the locals,and they are not wrong.

Arrived for drinks on Saturday afternoon 3ish. There was only one other couple drinking so not busy. Four of us sat down, waitress came over, gave us our menus and asked what we'd like so quickly, but as we didn't know she quite abruptly said, oh I'll come back when you've decided! Her tone was rude, we all agreed. We took a few more minutes choosing 4 drinks, one meal and two sides. When she returned and took our order she again responded in a totally inappropriate way. Is that it?? But in a way of meaning, hardly worth the order! Her tone was unacceptable, short and curt. My family were visiting this weekend, and as I'd been here before and had great service I thought I'd bring them to Gaff Rigger. But this time it was not great. I felt strongly enough about the bad service to write this review.

Had been recommended this Italian by a local for a family birthday. Greeted warmly by restaurant staff, water on arrival, attentive service. Unfortunately we were next to a table that various suited/booted parents dropped 9 of their free-range charges with a handful of timid 'grown-ups' whilst en route to the Club, I suspect. Food was excellent, the staff was amazing dodging these young teenagers leaving chairs untucked in the staff's wake whilst they slammed toilet doors, daring each other to run in the kitchen and generally getting under people's feet. When they did sit down, volume control was clearly not in their gifts. Thought the restaurant staff did an excellent job at trying to make our meal an enjoyable experience despite the crèche like conditions other diners had developed. Would definitely go back but perhaps on a school night when hopefully these youths are not there. The restaurant was far from a let down but the locals certainly were.

Great place, lovely garden, great Sunday lunch and friendly staff. We bring our stents here when they come to visit us and they love it also

Wonderful experience Food was exceptional very well presented pleasantly looked after by the owner/ waiter I would highly recommend this restaurant and will certainly be visiting again

Food was ok thou I think a lot of corners have been cut ( trying to save money) but after my dinner I went to the bathroom, it was not clean , walls , sinks and floors all need attention

The staff are lovely and menu is wide and varied. On this front, the flying boat is doing fantastic. The reason I score it down is, some of the food portions are small or inconsistent. My most recent experience I ordered a hoisin duck wrap and the below picture shows how much was inside. I basically paid £3.65 for a tortilla wrap and a scraping of duck. Please fill your wraps either more content. This was not a one off.

We stopped here for something to eat as noticed they did GF pies and were dog friendly as this was on part of our Walk . Great service , lovely food and coffee .

Stopped for a snack and coffee. Staff helpful but food offering limited in the "to go" section. Sandwiches not to my liking so just had a coffee, wife and son had a sandwich which was okay and for such a location reasonably priced. There is a restaurant attached but does not allow dogs. If they did allow dogs instead of the £21 spent would have happily and easily spent over £50. I appreciate that company/council policy's make the no dogs policy but I would suggest that the area outside between the patio doors and barrier have ample space for 4 or 5 tables and would prove your turnover.

Food was okay. Although was very sweet for my taste. I kind of expected more, but sadly wasn't anything special and I feel wasn't worth the money I had paid. That said, it wasn't awful, just my personal taste and preference.

Amazing experience! Wonderful food/coffee, and the cinnamon rolls are out of this world. Very quick and great service as well! Highly recommend. We will stop here every time we come to town now.

Great atmosphere, good service and great pub
