Love this pub, my mum & I found it a few years ago when an elderly aunt was in Fordingbridge hospital, we stopped here with another friend many times after our hospital visits.
There was always a warm welcome, a brilliant menu with wonderful food, even for me, a self confessed fussy eater who is not only vegetarian, I also have lots of allergies. The staff are great and the manager or maybe the owner, I'm not sure is fantastic, if there is nothing I can eat on the menu, they are more than happy to whip me up an omelette, without moaning about my fussy ways.
I am always accompanied by meat eaters, and we all have different meals, & the standard of food is always first class.
I have raved about this pub so much to friends and family that we even drove from my home in Eastleigh via Bitterne to pick up motherinlaw, then drive out to the Fighting Cocks for motherinlaw's 80th birthday, she loved it as did my partner & said they would definitely like to go again, despite not being local.
I'm also a wheelchair user in a large electric wheelchair, each time I have been, it has been is easy to park, easy to get the wheelchair in the building & once in fairly easy to move around, but the staff are more than happy to move chairs, tables etc if need be. If you are a wheelchair user it might be worth phoning ahead to book if you go during a busy time & also to find out if toilets are accessible, as I have not used them.
It is a family friendly & dog friendly pub.
I thoroughly recommend the pub, its staff and the excellent food, the only thing I would say for an all veggie party you might not find it the best place, the veggie options are pretty basic, sausages, burgers, I think some other maybe spicy dishes etc I think (memory not great).
There are a lot of home made options for mains & desserts which is great, lots of real ales I believe, lots to look at in the pub & through the windows.
I will definitely be back with family and friends in the future.

Went here yesterday, the pub is in a lovely location but the food is disappointing. I ordered the "home cooked" turkey baguette, there was not much turkey and it was not home cooked!! My dad had the steak burger which was tough and over cooked, yet the chips were under cooked. I Would not go back.
