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

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.

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

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.

Excellent Sunday lunch here today. They have a new chef who is cooking everything fresh, all the vegetables were freshly cooked to order and the taste difference is amazing. The meats were beautifully cooked and the homemade Yorkshire puddings are huge. Add in the homemade cauliflower cheese with smoked apple cheese and you know you're in for a treat! Very friendly place, great service and yummy food, we will definitely be back. Thanks guys. X

Popped in for the first time and had a coffee and a slice of Banna loaf, nice friendly service and atmosphere and more importantly very tasty cake 😋

Visited for a drink and tea after coming off a yacht. Handy location for the marina. This bar is really missing a trick - the location is lovely but the actual bar/outside area is just looking a little tired and unloved. We did have fish and chips and it was nice but I really don't like it when they serve your food on paper on a plate. The paper ends up going soggy and breaking into little bits that then stick to your food. Please get rid of the paper - just use plates. Portions not huge, and wasn't cheap. Would visit again as convenient for the marina.

A good solid pub that serves food and has good ambience. I was very grateful to them because it was 1030pm on a Tuesday and they still served me unlike a pub down the road that had already closed. Nice friendly young team. Next time I will come back earlier and try the food.
