Been here a few times for a quick lunch. The sandwiches are consistently decent, solid choice for a business meeting nearby. The pub itself has a nice, relaxed vibe.

The pistachio gelato was really fresh, and the tiramisu cake had a lovely texture. Staff were still cheerful even though I popped in close to closing time.

Lemon drizzle cake was spot on, and the gluten-free brownie was a nice touch. Staff were helpful. I did wish the wine list had a few more options by the glass to pair with the desserts, though.

Came back for a burger and chips after trying their breakfast bap. The place has this relaxed, lived-in feel&mdash;worn wooden floors, mismatched chairs, and big windows. Just a comfortable spot to unwind with a meal, nothing fancy.

Been coming here for years. Their fish and chips are reliably good &ndash; the batter is crisp, the fish inside is always moist and fresh. It&#39;s a simple thing, but they get it right every time.

The building&#39;s got real character, those low doorways are a fun touch. But honestly, for the price point, the portions felt a bit on the smaller side. You&#39;re paying more for the atmosphere than a really filling meal.

The haddock was so fresh and flaky, really hit the spot. The batter was light, not greasy at all. Portions are huge, my friend and I shared one and were full. Staff were quick and nice. A solid choice for a proper fish and chips.

Been back a few times now. The chicken tikka masala is always spot on, and the garlic naan is fresh. Just a solid, reliable spot for a curry.

Menu&#39;s got a good range, even vegan choices. Noticed the food&#39;s stepped up this summer &ndash; my veggie burger was actually juicy, not dry like before.

A proper local pub, quiet and friendly. No kitchen, but you can bring in your own food. Their ale selection is decent - had a pint of their house bitter that went nicely with my fish and chips. Just the spot for a relaxed evening.

The staff brought out a little cake for my birthday, which was a nice touch. Service was pretty attentive.

The staff are really friendly, especially the barman who was so attentive. That made the whole evening feel relaxed and easy. The food was lovely too, a really nice meal.

Megan was so lovely and attentive. That mushroom linguine with grilled chicken was the star for me - the sauce was creamy but not heavy at all. My husband enjoyed his small plates too. The whole place just has a nice, relaxed vibe.

Been coming here for years. The food&#39;s always spot on, proper British-Asian classics done right. Gets packed out most nights, mind. Book a table or you&#39;ll be waiting.

The tandoori chicken had a really nice smoky flavour. The naan was soft and warm, straight from the oven. I&#39;d go back just for that.

The chicken katsu burger was a real find. Just the right amount of heat in the sauce, really hit the spot. Great spot to catch a game too.

Pricey but worth it. The steak was cooked just right, and the view from the window seat was fantastic. Good for a special occasion.

Came for the view, stayed for the food. The seafood pasta was generous, packed with prawns and mussels. For the price, the portion size is really decent. You get what you pay for here.

Russell was super helpful with recommendations. Got my food quick and it was exactly what I wanted. 👍

Popped in for a quick solo lunch. Food came fast, which was key for me. The steak sandwich was hot, well-seasoned, and matched the menu description. Good portion for the price.

Easy to find next to Tesco. Good for a quick bite. Staff were fast and friendly. Got the chicken wrap, decent portion and tasted fresh. Perfect for a lunch break.

Travelled a fair distance for this. The food came out quickly, which was perfect with our toddler. One of the better Indian meals we&#39;ve had.

Good portions for the price, and a huge menu to choose from. The vibe was just right&mdash;really relaxed and friendly.

Came for the afternoon tea with friends. The little savoury tarts were so good, and the cheesecake that looked like a flower pot was a fun surprise! A really nice spot for a long catch-up.

The fennel salami and Tomme cheese sandwich was a real find. The bread had this perfect, crisp crust that just gave way. For under a fiver, it felt like a little treat. Romsey&#39;s lucky to have this spot.

A solid meal, service was prompt. The location on the Esplanade is very convenient. Good for a straightforward business lunch.
