"During Covid, many establishments now order via app, and in the main thus works well. The Navigators app was poor. But even worse is that once ordered the drinks took minutes in the first instance, and we go a refund after minutes and left in the second instance of ordering a simple drinks round and it wasn’t even that busy. They were critically understaffed which meant we were so cheesed off that we gave up. Such a shame. Both the boathouse and the jolly sailor nearby were far better experiences."

The service was horrendous, on a busy Saturday they had members of staff on and the wait for drinks and food was very slow. When the food arrived it was very good though .

I have visited the navigator on occasions and for both visits we have been advised they are a chef down so their fish of the day has never been available really disappointing. View menu

Went for a midweek dinner. The service was great, as was the food... best steak pie ever! Everything was in place to keep everyone safe during It was a thoroughly enjoyable experience and will definitely be going back .

Poor service due to internet being down and short staffed. Assistant manager was noticeably working hard abs providing a sufficient service. General manager and other staff left us waiting minutes without a drink or menu.

Staff rude and inattentive. Took nearly an hour for our meals. Then half an hour to be asked about desert. The main host wasn’t wearing his mask properly, so it was absolutely pointless him wearing it. I won’t be returning. View menu

Unfortunately there were staffing issues and we waited one and half hours for our meal. The meal when it came was very good. I've been to the Navigator many times and this is the first time that the service was poor. After complaining we were only charged a nominal amount for the meal. I hope they resolve their staffing (which has never been great as the place is lovely

Unfortunately the service was not very good the waitress did not have enough training. There were no ice buckets left asked for a jug with ice to put the bottle of wine in but the jug was too small! The manager showed us to our table went through the specials if which was sea bass filets but when we went to order there was not any fish on the menu only fish chips. I had steak with bernaise sauce which tasted very much of mayo added tarragon so nit too happy!

"We were so looking forward to trying this place out for the first time tonight Friday 10th Nov. We are very disappointed. The service was lovely. The atmosphere was great. The food was rubbish, seriously overpriced for what you get. We ordered olives and scallops for starters. The olives and bread were lovely. The scallops were slightly undercooked, a bit wet if you ask me and the linguine was too wet also. We ordered the special steak. I insisted on no fat. My steak was literally just fat. My husband’s was ok, my son and I couldn’t eat more than half. It was literally riddled with fatty tumours. Seriously disgusting. The roasted tomatoes were not roasted at all. They were just warm. I don’t know. Add a bit of olive oil and leave in the oven a little longer. The chips were fine. My husband enjoyed the chocolate mousse. My and my son’ s sticky toffee was ok but the custard is warmed up in microwave. It makes it lumpy with a thin coat on top. Not great. But most importantly the table was sticky all over. Use an actual sponge with actual soap and dry with a cloth. This is the only way it won’t be sticky! We paid £150 with no wine. We had a complimentary bottle with the steak special. We won’t go again. The food was not at all the standard it should be. Maybe it was a bad day. The place was busy but this is not for us. We like gourmet food and we thought that it was what we were going to get. If you want delicious food then this place is not the one. The manager and our waitress were lovely but that just wasn’t enough. Talk to the chef and don’t serve disgusting steak specials. Parking: We were told we had to pay for parking when we got there. That should be all over the website. So you get one hour free which means you have to leave in the middle of the meal to pay. Inconvenient for everyone. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: £100+ Food: 2 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes: Chips, Mousse Au Chocolat Parking space: Somewhat difficult to find parking Parking options: Paid parking lot"

"I did not want to write a Tripadvisor review before firstly emailing the establishment to tell them of my experience at the King and Queen in Hamble, as I wanted to give them the chance to reply etc with what may have gone wrong for us. They did not reply. We had booked for the Sunday roast and pre-ordered beforehand. My husband and I picked the tomahawk steak roast For 2 people to share. The girl placed it down on the table, after us waiting a while for it to be cooked , which was fine. There was 1 roast potato and 4 balls of stuffing (paxo type) . The girl then bought over 2 small cold side plates and I asked her to bring larger plates , she did and they were cold so I asked for them to be warm and she then came back again with warmer larger plates, which was fine. We also had to ask for roast potatoes and they came later in a bowl, not the best. We had also ordered a side of chips , they came around 20 mins later and we refused them as was by then too late. We also had to ask for our gravy to be warmed up as this was tepid. No one came to ask if the meal was ok, but it was not acceptable, far from . There was only around 20% of the meat which was edible if that. We had to spit out most into a napkin as there as too much gristle and too chewy. We were so disappointed as had been told this was a nice place for roasts and namely pre-ordering a 'special meal ' to share between two. Whoever cut the steak must have seen it was poor before it came out. My daughter also remarked later her chicken was cold but did not like to say anything as was so hungry. When the girl came to take the plates (with most of the food left) she did not ask if everything was ok which we were surprised about. We were meeting new family members for the first time and did not feel we wanted to complain but were also shocked at the lack of compassion by the staff for all the 'wrongs ' but namely the tomahawk quality, which we paid I think £68 for! Also noted there was a substantial service charge added to the bill, which we reluctantly paid but did not feel was warranted. Its hard to make a complaint, as we did not want to ruin the day with bad feeling surrounding the meal. No one asked us though how anything was, which you 'd expect when paying a lot of money. I’d have expected to hear back from the pub with an explanation and for them to offer some good will from this but have heard nothing."
