The Brigadier Gerard

Gorgeous place - we’ve had dinner here every time we’ve visited the area now and never been disappointed. We’ve tried the ham egg and chips, steak burger (which was to die for!) and spicy pizza! All fresh and delicious. Wine superb and service was truly exceptional. Friendly staff, nothing too much trouble. And we finally got to try a dessert last night- sticky toffee pudding! Absolutely amazing!!!!!

We had a large group for lunch and were catered for very well. Very attentive and quick service. I’ve never been here before but will definitely be returning.

The Sticky Toffee Pudding was amazing.

Good food at a reasonable price, lovely atmosphere and super friendly staff. Really pleased we stopped off there while passing.

What can I say - the pub itself is lovely. The staff were very friendly and welcoming when we arrived.
The menu is great as it offers 2 different portion sizes for a number of dishes which is ideal for those with smaller or larger appetites. (I can recommend the lasagna!).
Will definitely go back there if I'm in the area again.

This was my first visit and I had a lovely lunchtime meal here with a friend who has eaten here a number of times. The food was nicely presented and very tasty, with good portion sizes. Service was good and friendly. The atmosphere was good and the restaurant was quite busy. We arrived just before midday opening and there were quite a few spaces in the carpark, although some were underwater due to heavy rain. All in all a good visit and I'm sure we'll be back soon.

As pub food goes you can't beat it. I had the fish and chips. Nice atmosphere. 4 real ales on tap. My children also liked it as their empty plates suggest.

Becoming our new local. We recently moved to fair oak. Came again tonight, 2nd time in 3 months. The staff were so friendly, attentive and helpful ( two young girls in the restaurant who served us) the staff even went out of their way to tell me about the gin i had. The food was stunning and came out so quickly. Big portions as well. Will definitely be our pub of choice from now on :)

Lovely staff, proper portions, like the old pub days :) will go back again for sure

We've been to this pub a few times. They always do good food and we've always liked it, it's just a bit of an awkward walk to get to from where we live if you don't feel like driving. (Thanks eastleigh council for not giving us paths!)

I think we will make more of an effort to visit more after today's visit. We adopted a dog with separation anxiety this year, so we have to take her everywhere with us. So dog friendly pubs are a blessing. The team at the Brigadier Gerard were so welcoming to us and our dog, she loved the attention she got and everyone seemed to love her! Thanks for making us feel so welcome. Our dog especially loved the chicken fresh out the kitchen. 😅 I'm sure she agrees it's worth the walk along the road without a path! We will be back to have food soon. Thanks for the hospitality!

We had the Sunday roast, portion sizes were perfect, and the food was excellent and served quickly so still piping hot. Staff were very friendly and helpful, will be going again.

Excellent food and service needed a smaller portion of ham egg and chips, just right.

A fantastic works Christmas meal for 19 of us. We’ve been here before and had a great time but this visit was brilliant. Food and service were excellent. Our venue of choice x

Excellent food, sea bass was perfectly cooked. Restaurant part was nice and quiet. Very good service.

Good choices on their menu, tasty & generous portions, great service. Two very satisfied customers.

It was our 20th Anniversary Friday 3rd of November. We were staying at marwell hotel. We booked at another pub however, when we arrived we were told the kitchen was closed! So we got back it the car and went looking for another place to have a meal. This place hit the spot perfectly! The food was amazing, the atmosphere was perfect the music everything was perfect. Sarah and Verity were lovely and we were given a free drink from the manager to toast our Anniversary. They really saved our night. Thankyou ever so much. The next time we are in the area we will be back.

Friendly warm welcome with treats for our two dogs. We had five different meals, all of which were delicious, hot and very generous portions. Pleasant staff, all with ready smiles and a true wish to bring us a happy dining experience. Can’t wait to go back and try some of the other delicious-looking options on the menu! Thank you very much.

Love going to the Brigadier Gerard. The range of food is not extensive but what they have on the menu and their specials is cooked well and is tasty. Ideal for those with smaller appetites some of their meals are available in smaller portion sizes, bigger than a children's meal but not as big as a full portion. Nice drop of 6x rounded out the meal for me and the wonderful Garden delighted the elderly lady whose birthday we were celebrating.

Really enjoyed it here with top quality food and service. Maybe a bit on the pricey side but get what you pay for.

Superb service by Phil and the team, great atmosphere and most importantly, great home cooked food served and being a veggie, there is plenty of choice!!

Came here for the wake after my Aunt's funeral. Lovely buffet and really kind staff. Highly recommended
