Parsons Collar in Fareham

Very hostile barmaid told me to stand away from the bar while I was dri nking .I was not inebriated and there were no customers waiting to be served. I was not made to feelwelcome and I feel this employee needs to learn how to deal with the public.She did apologise after I confronted her about her attitude but I won't use this pub againuntil they train their staff properly

Great meal tonight, bacon and chicken salad, delicious. Half a roast chicken with bbq sauce, delicious. Highly recommend the bar and restaurant. Great atmosphere and food.

A lovely pub for a few beers after work nice atmosphere, I haven't tried food yet but I see they have a fire pizza oven

Not the best experience.Went in for dinner NYE and received the following:- Very dry lasagne- Burnt pizza (base was like charcoal)- Very dry burger (no seasoning, tasted like raw beef)- Chicken wings (they were alright)The beer wasn't the best but I expect it was near the bottom of the barrel when I ordered.I understand it was NYE but the food was so disappointing, we ended up leaving before the deserts came out.It's important to clarify, we have spoken to people who genuinely had a great meal here before. I just think we were unlucky with the staff that was on that night.

Gastro-pub and a fairly nice one at that.It sits between a to a new retail park and a hotel so there's loads of parking and is pretty easy to get to too.The establishment has changed over the last few years from a large village pub style to a more modern approach with a huge stainless steel bar. I preferred the old wooden one personally, I think it had bags more character, but things change.There's a huuuuge outdoor seating area with lots of tables and chairs so it's great in the summer. On this occasion we (9 of us) sat indoors for a meal. There are a couple of 'areas' in the pub, and we were to the front on a stage-like affair with a nice real fire and a massive TV playing daytime TV.Staff are friendly, courteous and professional. Orders were taken and drinks came by within a few minutes. This time food was pre-ordered so it wasn't long before courses were efficiently being served.The food here is normally quite good. There's a limited menu with a good range of food available from pizza to rib-eye steak to club sandwiches.I've always thought the food here a little pretentious and the prices a little high but that seems to have been getting better the last year. (For instance, I remember once getting served a burger and chips meal served on what appeared to be a lump of drftwood and chasing half my meal off the edges onto the table.).There are lots of drinks to choose from including four or five local ales on draft (although usually a couple are turned around), and a couple more bottled so ask the bartender what they have.Summary: Not bad for a meet up with a couple of friends for a drink and a bite to eat. The food and ale and service are good if ever so slightly overpriced.

Lovely pub with decent priced food. We ordered the large nachos and we were surprised by just how large they were! Well worth the money and the cost of the taxi there!

Food is great value for money. Brilliant kids menu. Had dinner and breakfast. Staff are welcoming and friendly. Emily was great with the children and very patient even when they changed their mind about pudding (who doesn't though 😆). Portion sizes were good.

The pub has a lovely vibe, friendly and welcoming staff and cosy areas if you pick a good spot.Unfortunately the same cannot be said about the food, which was mediocre at best.Mac and cheese was very bland and barely had any cheese throughout the dish.Beef burger and chips was disappointing. Burger was mildly warm, had probably been sat under a heat lamp for a number of hours, and the chips were overdone.Unfortunately no member of staff asked how the food was, so we just picked at it and left.2 stars given. The only reason we went to the pub was for food and this let us down.

Visited to this pub for more than a decade now! Since I work just down the road, Parson's Collar is the go to place for when colleagues resign/retire/get retrenched... or on one occasion, my own retrenchment... then I got the same job back 3 years later, and now am a regular back at Parsons Collar! Food is tasty, drinks are good, but slightly pricier. Still it's decent, clean, and informal place to hang out with colleagues!

Outstanding service and extremely well organised pub set next to the Solent hotel and Lodge, this family, dog friendly pub is easy going with a basic small menu.The standout dish were the nachos, which were very generous.Our chicken and burger were a bit overdone and the brownie was ok, if they up their game on the mains and desserts, this would be 5 stars for all visitors.Very friendly and helpful staff and easy ordering system on app or staff by request especially useful for dietary requirements.Overall easy non fussy beautiful decor pub.
