We are not from the area but met here on the way to the ferry port. The staff were friendly and welcoming, great selection of beer and a nice atmosphere. We had steak and chips which was wonderful. Thank you.

Seven of us ate and drank on a soggy day. The service was very friendly and helpful, the food was delicious, home cooked. We thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon and will return. Also, Freya the pub dog was adorable.

My only criticism is that they ran out of the lamb and had no Yorkshire puddings.

I am sorry we had run out of lamb. It ended up being our busiest day of the year, and by some margin. Wont happen again! Hopefully you had a great experience anyway!

One of my favourite pubs. Shame it’s soon to be closing. Only complaint I have is that over the past few months every time I go the prices have increased yet again. I visit quite often and every single time the prices have gone up again.
The Hampshire BowmanResponded on 28 August 2024
Yes we are leaving. One of the reasons is that we are struggling to make a living. Covid, inflation, change in habits. The other problem is that we slug our guts out 7 days a week all year long for little genuine recognition. People say we're their favourite pub, but they wont put their money where their mouth is. We are one of the cheapest pubs around - if you dont include weatherspoons. And yes, I would like to walk away with as much for my young family as I can, and, after 18 years of service here I am not ashamed of that. Maybe you can carry that shame for me. Only got 6 weeks left. Cant wait to have a job where I dont have to put up with people that just dont understand how the world works.

Super good, generous portions, nice relaxed setting, lovely friendly staff and fantastic beer. Probably the best, traditional pub I’ve been in for ages. Even the pub dog, Freya, was excellent - welcoming and friendly.

Super Sunday roasts at this traditional Hampshire pub - all home cooked, plenty of veggies and great Yorkshire puds!

Great pub in lovely setting. Nice big well kept garden with swings, great food. If you don’t like dogs maybe try something else. But there was a whole pack when we went and they were all well behaved. My kids were running around the garden with them for ages. Really enjoyed it, we’ll be going back. 👍
