| I am yet another who has found this pub a dissappointment. We had friends to stay and thought this would be a pleasant place to take them for a pint and evening meal.Luckily their meals were about average , but after a wait of 80 minutes!! My blue steak arrived on a cold plate , and the inside was freezing. I sent it back and they had the cheek to bash it and try and bring it back to me.Only one bar maid serving as well. WE WILL AVOID THIS LIKE A PLAGUE. peteandjen - 15 Jul 2008 07:05 |
| Unfortunately I have to agree with the last couple of postings. We went there on a warm Saturday evening and of course it was busy. There was only 1 person serving drinks (slowly and bad beer measures) and the food wait was down as being 45-60 minutes and it took all that time and some. The starters, 1 cold pate, took over 45 mins to come, the 2 main courses arrived eventually after 1 hour 20 mins and a complaint to the landlord. The table next to us sent their cold paella back for further cooking. It's a great location, but we won't be back again after this, our 2nd disappointing visit, I'll visit the Ship next time.

| OK food but can be a bit cold at times. Chef gets a bit up himself. Pub atmosphere nice but can be a bit stuffy staff and landlord a bit unsociable unless you are a real regular gammybaby - 12 Aug 2007 11:01 |
| oh dear, oh dear what has happened to this pub used to be a great pub with real charm, but now it's just like every other big brewery managed house, bland beer slow service from staff that aren't interested, i was just waiting for one of them to say do you want large fries with that. what a waste of a great location littlecon - 3 Aug 2007 07:42 |
| One of the most overrated pubs I've been in. This used to be an idyllic spot with great HSB and a lovely low-beamed interior. Now it's little more than a restaurant with a bar attached. Food is average and it is not unknown for it to be scalding on the outside and cold on the inside. Decent Gales beers are now a distant memory replaced by the monolithic Greene King selection. It's also an idea to bring some reading material - you will need it during the long wait to be served a drink on any remotely sunny day. Most frustrating to see one or two overworked bar staff serving the drinkers while several others loiter nearby ready to service the more lucrative eaters. It's still a nice spot (road noise notwithstanding) but the decision to let small children into the bar area was the final nail in the coffin for me. Pleasant enough for a late drink on a cold winter's night but for the rest of the time you're much better off heading to the Old House in Havant. boozerbill - 11 May 2007 16:45 |
