user reviews of the Fleming Arms, Swaythling

please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.

Closed and already ripped from Fullers website...a shame they don't update their beer pages as efficiently!
Depending on who you listen to the place will either reopen as a Hungry Horse in a few months, or be flattened (along with the remains of the old nightclub behind) and redeveloped as yet more flats.
Rather a shame as the landlord kept his ales in excellent nick, and it was a handy stopping off point when walking from Eastleigh to the delights of the South Western and Guide Dog.

Good food, good beer and it's own traffic lights to get out of the car park!

Seriously though, the place was empty which was a shame!

Talking to the very freindly staff told us why....the chef had only been there 6 weeks and his predecesor had cooked from within a pint pot!
The new chef is very good - not cordon blue but well worth the money

DO NOT BE PUT OFF BY THE RUN DOWN EXTERIOR!! - another area that I hope the owners will sort, right now putting off people from a good pub meal!

Nice and friendly, nice decor, good but not great food at reasonable prices and it has a great range of very well kept ales.

This is a pub with lots of potential, great location with lots of space for development. Unfortunately it has a long way to go. The beer is good (Gales/Fullers) but the food is not good at all. This is local to me and I wish I had more reason to go there.

Friendly staff who tolorate and deal professionally with rude and abusive customers.

Beer is great and served with a smile

Keep up the good work

The fleming has a relaxed atmosphere, a good range of drinks and food, and a unique mix of people. Populated by locals, families eating out and students. The landlord is also a barside fixture and always willing to sort out any queries you may have. New pool tables and a plasma TV for the sport lover!
