The Fox Fair Oak — Restaurant in Eastleigh

We visited on a cold evening with family to meet up with some friends who live local. As soon as you walk in it has an atmosphere that makes you feel welcome and comfortable. Shown to our seats in the conservatory and scrolled down the menu. There were 15 of us at the table and everybody found something that they wanted. They adapted something for my 4 year old son and he demolished the lot! What was great is that the children received their meals just before ours arrived and gave us time to sort them out! This meant that we could really enjoy ours. I had the halloumi burger which was beautifully cooked and a great chunk of cheese, I was happy. My husband had the fox burger which was impressive and he thoroughly enjoyed it. Kids had full size pizzas, these were freshly made to order with proper toppings. We had a table of empty plates for our waitress. She looked after us all amazingly well. After our meal, we sat infront of the fire and the kids had cuddles from the pubs extremely friendly dog. Thank you for such an tasty meal and making us feel very welcome. We will be back on our next visit to see friends for sure. It really makes a change to go somewhere that gets everything just right. A proper English pub with good customer service, family friendly and...

We had a table booked for six last night. The food was lovely...even tho 5 meals came out 10 minutes before the 6th. The service however was dismal. The lady in charge of the bar was strident and stern faced and didn't seem to want to be there,. We received no welcome apart from a loud reprimand to keep away from the bar. We asked for our table and was told to " just go sit where you want...we don't take bookings " !! It was very quiet for a saturday night but even so, no one came to ask if we had everything we needed, no one asked if we wanted desert, in fact once all 6 meals were finally there no one else came near apart from to clear the plates. There were 3 people behind the bar and yet it still took 5 minutes to get the attention of someone to order a round....even tho there was nobody else at the bar. We won't be going back...£200 for what was a good main course and a few rounds of drinks would have been fine if we hadn't been made to feel like we were in the staff's way. 2 stars for the food....even tho we weren't offered pudding! And no track and...

Had an evening meal first impression bar staff miserable was shown to our table in the conservatory by a nice member of staff very chatty shame bar lady couldn't be so welcoming. Had to order at bar as apparently not enough staff, ordered food from the miserable girl behind bar asked for lasagne to be told no lasagne so went for the burger,my husband ordered hunters chicken. Drinks were nice and reasonably priced,when food arrived was impressed by portion size unfortunately it went down hill from there, my burgers we're cheap processed burgers, chips were definitely frozen chips they were warm and rubbery obviously been left under heat lamp for a while disappointing. My husband's chicken was not chargrilled as would have expected for hunters chicken dish instead it was anemic in colour and looked as if it had been boiled. Reading other reviews definitely a drinkers pub as my lemonade and lime was tasty but most definitely not for food sorry won't be back for food but maybe a...
