user reviews of the Gun, Keyhaven

please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.

went in for lunch after a walk round from the spit. The pub looks great - lots of interesting nooks and crannies. Had a pint of Ringwood best which was ok but the lasagne I had was, unfortunately, revolting. It's difficult to say for certain why, but I think there was too much onion and not enough tomato as well as too much fat and strangely translucent pasta. Having said that, my wife had a fish pie that she liked although both meals had the kind of sorry excuse for a salad garnish that always disappoints- all leaves, no imagination and no flavour. I know that most people are more interested in the beer but I felt I had to post a warning about that lasagne.

After a bracing walking from Milford via Hurst Castle in the teeth of a strong North Easterly wind we went into the Gun to find a roaring fire, some excellent Ringwood beer and a very tasty crab pate. All in all this pub ticked all the boxes. We were glad to have arrived early as by 1pm (on a Thursday) the pub was filling up. Food is advertised as being available all day. We worth the visit.

I'll set the scene; late July, sunny summers day (a Saturday), bit of a walk from Lymington along the coastal path then bingo came across this pub. Got there just after 2pm, ordered beers etc no problem there but food (the menus were out on display and no notice of kitchen hours)?! Nah, 'kitchens closed mate'. There were food orders coming out the kitchen of varying numbers and we were a party of around 10 so great potential business to be had but 'nah kitchens closed'.... 'We’ve got crisps'!! I'll never get to understand this attitude landlords have of turning away business - while giving you a nice smile. They get 10 out of 10 for being a typical english unwelcoming small minded outfit. Maybe it helps to be a local. - nuff said.

Visited this pub in late June. Beer was excellent, and although we didnt eat, the other diners all seemed to be enjoying their meals.

A great place to dry off on a rainy day after a walk out to Hurst Castle and back!

No one can accuse me of giving up on a place. I fell upon the Gun last week when I arrived too early for a party in Keyhaven. Faced with the depressing thought of sitting in the car park or running the gauntlet at the bar, thirst overcame. What a change! Fellow drinkers, all is not lost, smiles, happiness and good beer; had two excellent pints of excellent Flowers. Everyone was happy, it was sublime.
