Quick info
About The Spitfire
The Spitfire is a pub on High Street in Eastleigh, set along the River Itchen walking route that links Winchester to the town. It runs as a walk-in, with pints and food served at the counter, and the staff know their way around gluten-containing ingredients in drinks. The room draws a mix of newcomers and regular locals, and dogs are welcome through the door. Saturday nights are part of the regular week, making it a stop for those heading out after hours in that stretch of the high street.
