The Prince Consort

We have visited twice recently. Both times the food was excellent and plentiful and the staff attentive . The first time we sat in the area with access to the garden which was fine but when we visited yesterday the pub was very busy and we were directed to the other side - right of the front entrance. At least 12 of the seats there were absolutely disgusting and I refused to sit on them. They all looked like they had been peed on several times. We were eventually directed to another table where some of the chairs were reasonable. We were very disappointed because of this and although the food etc was good we will not be returning until the chairs are cleaned!

Booked 12 people for a family 70th birthday meal on a Saturday night. We all had a lovely evening made better by the exceptional service. The food was excellent and considering there were 12 of us and the pub was busy all the dishes came out within minutes of each other. We has a lovely time and I would highly recommend this place.

Another great lunch today,excellent food &service as usual, staff are very friendly. We live in the New Forest and have to travel to this pub because no pubs in this area can come close to the Prince Consort. We have booked today for Easter Sunday but I'm sure we will visit again before then.

We stopped over here for two nights , us two and two dogs The room was very well appointed and clean with plenty of coffee and tea etc. The shower was good , in fact almost too good as the shower and sink have tremendous water pressure so care needed filling the kettle and when I inadvertently turned the shower on too far for the first time the shower head nearly shot off of the wall. Good double glazing means not too much noise from the nearby beer garden if you need an early night. The Royal Victoria Park is a very short walk away and we'll worth a visit as well as the cemetery. We ate in the pub the first night and had a very good meal ,the second night we had fish and chips from up the road and ate them looking over the sea . So , reasonable price , good location, grade 2 listed building,comfy bed, dog friendly,good food and friendly staff and a good shower . Minus points .. Taps on the sink very short which makes it difficult to fill the kettle and a fiddly handle on the door to the room which makes the door difficult to close from the outside if you have big fingers .

Stayed just for the night as taking part at the big eat in Victoria park as just down the road … It’s a pub with all the rooms at the back & has a free car park at the side of the property .. The food was excellent had an evening meal & breakfast loads of choices .. Room was on the small side but to be honest had everything we needed for the night including teas & coffee / towels & tv Even a fan in the room if needed Staff were brilliant and really helpful

The rooms are the best stocked i have seen in a hotel. Extremely generous tea and coffee etc. The pub food seemed a simple menu, but the food was excellent in portion size, quality and taste. The price was amazing. Two courses for 3 people and 5 beers was 65 quid. Bargain. Breakfast was very good. The food was piping hot and again tasty. Cannot fault the staff, really friendly. Highly recommend.
