Chamberlayne — Restaurant in Eastleigh

Unbelievable...a pub that can almost match Wetherspoon prices!!! I dropped in here while my glasses were being repaired. At first glance, this is a typical town's side street local. But the staff are instantly welcoming and friendly...and the locals...mostly builders and pensioners are totally acceptable of any outsiders.

But apart from these qualities, the bright and airy interior and the overall ambiance...the one, ASTONISHING thing is that the prices here, are quite unbelievably cheap. My pint of Stella Artois came in at £3.15!!!

As Arnie says...'I'll be back'.

UPDATE. I notice a few negative comments about the car park. I parked here today...04/09/2017 and asked about parking regulations. I was assured that parking was free and available.

You need to visit this pub...a proper, friendly local, great management/owners, staff and regulars.

UPDATE II: As a disabled pensioner who struggles with mobility...I dropped in here for a rest and a cold pint. From entering I was treated to doors being held open, chairs being moved, even people offering me arms for support. I'm quite astonished by the comment regarding drugs in this venue. As an ex publican I can certainly state that the management here, are super determined to ensure that drugs are NOT readily available in this pub.

I stand by my original post, this a great little pub, run by professional and welcoming owner's and staff. You'll be made...

03/02/2015, With my 2yr old daughter, partner and his 15yr old brother arrived at the Chamberlayne Arms Pub, I parked my car in the car park provided. I had looked at parking info board and as I remember (I have yet to go back and double check and take photos) My daughter had a party at 'Once upon a time' and I would have to leave her there and go, instead I thought it was a good opportunity to have a chill out time and have a half pint at the pub with my partner. I got out my car and took my daughter to the party leaving my partner and his brother in the car until I got back. My daughter decided after 10 mins she didn't want to stay and wanted to go. So 16 minutes later I drove out the car park, I thought nothing of it. Only to get my post through the door on 14/02/2015 to find a £100 parking fine (£60 if paid in 14days). So i'm guessing if I had gone in and had my half pint I'd of still got the parking ticket. Just thought people looking to visit this pub should bare this in mind. PERSONALLY MYSELF, MY FAMILY AND PARTNERS FAMILY WILL NEVER...

Popped into The Chamberlain in Eastleigh and was treated to a cracking night. The band No Weddings were playing, absolutely nailed it. Great energy, tight sound, and a brilliant setlist that got everyone’s feet tapping (even if some of us were still sat down clutching our pints).

The staff were amazing, friendly, quick behind the bar, and up for a laugh. Can’t fault them. Weirdly, the place wasn’t that busy, which worked out nicely for us but left us wondering why more people weren’t there soaking up the vibe. Hidden gem, maybe?

Bonus entertainment came from the punters, some absolute characters in there. One bloke danced like he was headlining Glastonbury, pint in hand the whole time. Honestly, worth the price of a ticket just for that.

Top night. Great band, top staff, good beer. Hopefully, next time it’ll be busier, this place...
