In-Excess Fair Oak Garden Centre
A well-rated garden centre in Eastleigh with somewhere to eat, making for an easy, relaxed family potter around the plants.

Pub · Eastleigh
Fair Oak sits just outside Eastleigh, and this is a Hampshire pub set up so that a meal out with small children doesn't need much thought beforehand. There's a kids' menu and high chairs, so a toddler is genuinely catered for, and free parking means you can unload everyone without hunting for a space or feeding a meter. Step-free access gets a buggy in without help, and gluten-free options are available if someone in the family needs them. It's a quiet spot rather than a lively one, with outdoor seating for warmer days — worth booking ahead.

A little something creative for your next meal out. Filled with colouring, simple drawing prompts for cute animals, origami and conversation starters designed to bring more play, laughter and connection to the table. 3 free printable packs for toddlers, preschoolers and primary-aged children.
