Wagon Works, Eastleighback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
Recently came in here. Food is great, standard Spoons but on the better scale. Ale is fantastic with a great variety. As a CAMRA member i was extremely happy with the selection and i can see why this pub is in the good beer guide. Great pint of Ruddy Darter. Alot of support for Micro Breweries here. Lovely pub , huge beer garden and great staff.

Good choice of guest ales including one of my current favourites - Vale Ale. Lots of different seating areas with a better than average decor so avoiding that Wetherspoon drinking warehouse effect.

Two door staff on who sounded and acted like they used to work for one of the former Eastern Bloc security services. Couldn't be bothered with it.

Standard wether-experience throughout; this will be the only thing you will be seeing in a few years, as this corporate behemoth eats its way through the final vestiges of British culture remaining. The usual plastic marketing fest pervades and invades every table and staff wait no more than a nano-second to sweep your glass away from the table to shame you into a lengthy wait at the bar for your next injection. That said, as Wethys go, this is one of the more tody and respectable ones and is perfectly fine for a few beers and some microwaved airline food. As long as you know what you are getting then you should be ok, and as usual, can't really fault the real ales selections and prices, even if it be at the behest of the sacrifice of the british pub.

Only one girl serving on a busy friday lunchtime but the again that is typical for spoons staffing.The beer however was good and the pub very well done out with a beer patio at the rear, 8/10

Quite upmarket and well run by Weatherspoons standards, this pub has badly hurt the others in the town but perhaps that is because by and large that is because Eastleigh's pubs are generally a tired and uninspiring bunch.
On the plus side, on the last occassion I went in 'The Wagon Works', my visit was brightened up by quite a good looking girl coming to sit by me who happened to have the most enormous boobs! Sadly, I had to leave to get the train to nearby Southampton!!!

Standard Weatherspoons, really. Handy for Eastleigh train station, or for some respite from shopping in Eastleigh. As a relatively new opening, the interior hasn't had time to get scruffy. Overall, a decent town-centre pub, at least during the day.
