Gaff Rigger

The Gaff Rigger at Mercury Yacht Harbour is a gem on the edge of the Hamble River! I love the welcoming vibe – it's the perfect spot to drop by anytime, whether you're solo or with friends. They serve everything from coffee and breakfast to afternoon tea, lunch, dinner, and even just drinks. The flexibility in their menu really caters to any appetite. The bar area is fantastic for unwinding, with good wifi and a great selection of nibbles to go with your drink. The atmosphere is casual yet stylish, creating a relaxing environment for enjoying food and drink. The waterfront marina location is stunning, with options for both indoor and al fresco dining. A special shoutout to our waitress, Samantha, and waiter, Ruben, who were incredibly friendly and kind. Their excellent service made our visit even better. And the food – absolutely delicious! Highly recommend checking out The Gaff Rigger. It’s a delightful spot with a lovely atmosphere and great service.

We had lunch here. The staff were friendly and attentive. The food was excellent. Of particular note was what accompanied the dressed crab, which was clearly freshly and carefully prepared. We shall return tomorrow for breakfast.

Completely forgotten this place was here. Lovely people. Big shout out to the Dock master who was really kind and helpful. Oh, and the whippy ice cream was amazing...

Gaff Rigger experience was very nice. They have several nice seating options - outdoors, on the deck overlooking the marina, conservatory (play area for kids with Lego blocks), bar, outdoors and another restaurant enclosure - so lots of choice. And the food and drinks were nice, they have the usual pub fare, but always offer a couple of special menu items. Among nibbles, highly recommend tempura prawns with wasabi.

This has to be the best pub and restaurant I've been. The staff are excellent and the owner manager goes out of her way to make everyone welcome. True 5 star service. Love coming here. Thank you. ...

Had an amazing lunch here on Sat the 5th.. I just want to say a big Thank you to the chef for having such a great gluten free option on the menu for myself. And I can highly recommend the food ,as we were a party of 4 and we all raved about the food.

Lovely hidden gem. Amazing Oysters and wine on a sunny afternoon with incredible views out on the harbour. The staff are very attentive and friendly. Would definitely recommend.

Called in for a little lunchtime snack... Grilled sausage sandwich on door step bread! Yum! Lovely view across the marina. Friendly attentive service!
