The Anglers Inn, Bishopstoke, Eastleigh

Good traditional village pub. All about fun drink music. Very friendly atmosphere.

Lovely proper old pub with views of the iconic River Itchen across the road and occasional fly fishers. Great bunch of locals and a friendly welcome to passers-by. The rooms are a little compact but cleanliness is 100% I don't understand the negative comments about the welcome from staff as I have only ever seen a friendly welcome. Perhaps staff were having a difficult day? I think reviewers should go more than once to get a real feel of the place. Comparing it to spoons is just ridiculous, like Comparing McDonald's to The Ivy, totally different experience that many of us are happy to pay a little more for.

Lovely accommodation very comfortable . Shower tray a little too high off the ground for short legs . Lovely shower once I got in could do with a step or handrail .

The staff were wonderful and the customers were great too! I haven't stayed overnight, so I can't comment on the accommodations. The drinks were reasonably priced. We enjoyed a lovely evening.

This pub has a unique charm that makes it well worth a visit! It truly feels like a local hangout, and the patrons are incredibly friendly. Located right by the river, there's a peaceful road separating the pub from the water. During the summer, you can enjoy your drink outside on the pavement while still keeping an eye on the river. The prices are very reasonable, and there’s a good selection of quality drinks to choose from. Inside, there’s a pool table in the back bar and opportunities to catch sports, but this doesn't overshadow the pub's character. The staff are wonderful, and the pork scratchings are freshly sourced from a local butcher. Overall, it's a fantastic pub!
