We arrived today having pre-booked for a boxing day meal. We had pre-arranged our orders from the set boxing day menu. Upon arrival it quickly became apparant that they were not just understaffed but barely had enough staff to maintain basic functions, let alone cope with the booked tables or the (seemly sizable) party in the back room. Front of house staff consisted of one waitress and one barlady. It took so long to be shown to our table that had we not pre-booked and paid a 10 per head non-refundable deposit we would've walked out, as things went I wish we had and saved ourselves nearely

A nice homely and cosy pub and restaurant. I like the fact that you can just drop in for a bite to eat and a drink with your dog especially on a cold wintry afternoon. Food was good and staff were very friendly, welcoming and courteous.

I booked some time ago for a Christmas set meal for 8 people. When we arrived, the table wasn't decorated like everyone else's. We wasn't asked to pre-order but luckily it wasn't busy, so we all got what we asked for, however they did muck up the bill, so we had to query it. The food was nice and the staff were friendly.

A stunning, local pub situated on the border of Havant. The menu never fails to impress with its fresh, locally brewed ales, stone baked pizzas and classic desserts.
