The Moldy Fig @ The Concorde

The Moldy Fig @ The Concorde brings easy-going elegance to Eastleigh.

Homemade dishes arrive with polish, poured alongside fine wines and local real ales, while a steady pulse of live music keeps the atmosphere warm and unhurried.

Its setting is steeped in the venue’s jazz heritage. Picture-lined walls chart decades of performances, rich wooden floors and comfy couches soften the mood, and a cosy bar opens onto a welcoming dining room. When the sun plays along, the woodland terrace and riverside patio set the scene for al fresco lingering, not least an indulgent afternoon tea.

In the kitchen, familiar comforts share the stage with dishes that nod to wider shores. Beer battered fish and chips rub shoulders with a Cajun creole salmon with king prawns, roasted Mediterranean vegetable lasagna, and pan-seared calves’ liver with bacon, while fillet of seabream keeps things light.

Sweet endings lean classic: a white chocolate and raspberry blondie, or Baileys creme brulee, tempt a final flourish. Comedy dinner shows and other live entertainment add extra sparkle through the year.

The Moldy Fig invites unhurried moments. Consider this your cue to settle in and let the good times swing.
