Cocked Hat in Gosport

Despite working nearby for over 12 years, this is my first visit, so I am puzzling now why this is 😁 after my experience today. I had a very pleasant meal of the slow roasted rib, and can already recommend this. The meat was delightful and the light touch of the BBQ sauce complimented it beautifully. As I ordered from the gluten free menu one observation was all the chip sides have been replaced by jacket potatoes, a little unusual perhaps given how easy it is for chips to be manufactured and uncontaminated by wheat products. Service was quick and very friendly. I shall be returning with the family to try more of the menu. Thank you Cocked Hat for a wonderful lunchtime. 👏🏻

Staff provided great service and the food was good didn’t have to wait long and had a table of ten

Used the sports app to get a free pint!

friendly staff found us a table for 6 even when it was busy

Nice surprise with the food quality service was great as was the food

Nice pub with good food I had a burger it was a proper meaty patty was lovely and a soft drink as I was driving

I haven't been here since before covid. Massive improvement. Excellent service. Fast and cooked well. Staff really friendly. Great value for money.

Went here before a local football game on Sat. Then for food after...was a great place...loves the food and service.. definitely go again

Very nice indeed. My first visit with family.

Has been refurbished since we last visited and it's very clean, bright and spacious. Staff were attentive. App worked really well. Nice mix of people. Not rushed to leave. Food tasty and fresh. Plenty of parking.

Was a quiet afternoon which was lovely . Great food staff very bubbly and attentive

Went for a breakfast today with friends fantastic service lovely barmaid always makes you feel welcome great food Happy friday

Came for a 16th birthday. Hannah made a huge effort for us and made his night. Food was great and we will be back. Thank you Hannah your service was amazing 👏

Lovely food Lovely staff Great prices

Wetherspoons still far better value for money and far more accommodating to changes with the menu due to allergies and preferences.

Thankyou to kerry ,very friendly, helpful, and funny ,we enjoyed our experience

Clean place food was ok pub grub. What let the place down though was the attentiveness of the staff. They were happy to chat amongst themselves but failed to even acknowledge people that were waiting. I understand other people were being served but it wasn't busy and a simple greeting goes a long way.

Dinner with friends from Bristol.. everything was great

Great customer service, friendly helpful staff

My grandma has lived in the area for 24 years and has never stepped foot in this pub (no fault of the pub itself, it was just a lil far from where she lived) as we were packing up her house to move, we decided to have a meal out and we googled pubs in the area and this one came up. We looked at the menu and thought it looked fab so decided to give it a go... And we so lucky we did! As it was the best meal we've had in a LONG time! So much so, we have been back 4 times this week and have tried almost everything on the menu and let me tell you... EVERYTHING IS DELICIOUS and absolutely fantastic prices for the amount food and quality you get! Clare (mama bear) has been so friendly and such a good laugh and Martin has been very kind and the banter has been great with the both of them ❤️ It's such a shame that she's moving in the next few days or this would become our regular spot! Thank you again staff at The Cocked Hat, hopefully we will make the journey back for you're absolutely delectable dishes and sensational service ❤️ From the twins and their grandma 😊

Lovely place to visit, very busy in the sunshine! Friendly staff & nice food

Hannah was an amazing server really helped a fussy girl out

Brilliant staff. Brilliant food!

Staff were great, the food was on the OK side of good. Let me qualify that, it's chain pub food, expect to get what you order. There is ample. I couldn't fault it, but it is what is is.

Food is great. Staff are amazing. Atmosphere is great. Great family pub.

Highly recommend, great place and great food

Fantastic service, excellent food and great value for money

Wonderful atmosphere so welcoming the meal was amazing will definitely be back again very happy thank you Cocked Hat!

Always come to the cocked hat, food is amazing, staff as always were fantastic, Claire the manager and her team always take time to make us feel welcome ,one of the best places to watch sport too, absolutely recommend

Really nice staff, especially Claire. Food is very cost effective and good quality

Not been in around 5 years since then new management has turned this place around services is now amazing and food was perfect will definitely be back

Leah and Tom are the best bar staff ever!! 100% best experience in Gosport! Loved every moment of it and they made ordering food and drinks so helpful! Would 100% return everytime!!

Fantastic value for money. The chefs here know how to cook steak unlike alot of other places in the area. There's a gluten free menu and also vegan options. They even sell gluten free beer! I am gluten and dairy intolerant so finding places to eat can be a challenge. I would love to see a gluten free and vegan burger option 😋

Always a great pub to visit! Even better since the refurb!

Great service, staff are lovely. Young girl with green hair especially friendly !! Will be coming back :)

Came in for some food and drink over lunch while we had a quick min, abbi served us and she was amazing, was quick to rectify any issues we had. Was by far the most approachable person in the venue. Will always come back to see her face. A real gem for your team

We visited in the early evening for the first time since the revamp. Lovely new decor, food was received in good time and was really nice and cooked to our specifications. Waiting staff were polite and helpful and we had a pleasant visit. Will definitely be visiting again. Thanks

Great pub eating or drinking with family or friends this pub caters for all

Went for lunch this afternoon here - it was absolutely delicious! I had Gammon, Egg and Chips on a skillet and it was cooked to perfection. Highly recommend this place!

We will definitely be back! Ahead of choosing somewhere to book for a large family occasion we made a visit today.. A warm friendly feel good place, extra helpful genuinely happy to help staff that are always around. Our food was EXCELLENT!...Our meals arrived swiftly and together, looked so good and tasted even better. Plenty of choice on the menu all of which are of fair price and avaliable. Usually I cant be bothered to leave any feedback good or bad, but on this occasion I made time to eave this here to highly recommend this pub/restaurant and commend the manger and workers. 10/10

First visit since revamp - a few minor issues, but to be fair to the manager she sorted it out immediately and made up for the issues. Clearly she actually cares about the place, great to see.

Staff are always welcoming, Saavick is always really helpful and full of banter. The managers do a great job keeping things in hand no matter what it takes, keep up the great work!

The cocked hat has been my local for years and seen lots of different staff come and go! The current team and management are brilliant and always friendly, helpful and good laugh! Saavik is a great member on the team and also so helpful and welcoming! The newly refurbed outside area is a great sun trap!

Came to visit elderly father for his 93rd birthday, we are from lincolnshire, he recommended the cooked hat and he was right, good food and service, prices reasonable, definitely come again.

Always have a great meal here and the staff are lovely!

Every time i come here, my experience is perfect. The staff are lovely, the atmosphere is very friendly & the food is amazing quality. I would 100% recommend this restaurant. It is perfect for family gatherings & to watch all kind of sport with friends.

Food is fantastic and such great value. The staff are super, always so accommodating, let you know before you sit down how long the wait is for food and they are just so lovely. 241 burgers on Thursday are an absolute bargain and they are delicious. The meat platter is also a recommendation.

Friendly staff Great food Plenty of TVs for sports Outdoor seating area is new Indoor has been refurbished Wheel chair access plenty of toilets clean and comfortable

It’s a really friendly environment, staff are lovely and welcoming here, Clare and Martin always greet you with a smile. They have great food service and the food is lovely. It’s amazing to come here to watch any sports, plenty of TVs all around. It is Wheelchair Friendly. I would 100% recommend this restaurant.

Always such happy friendly place, welcoming staff, Clare is always very happy to help in any needs making sure they’re all met and the enviroment is always clean :) we are regulars and this is our go to place! :)

Food took ages to come after we ordered it, when it eventually arrived food was not very hot chips were out of a packet & refried in total £65 and was not worth £30.

Great food, great atmosphere and staff are super friendly I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who’s looking for somewhere nice to eat ❤️

Love Kayleigh and claire and clare amaizing love the cocked hat they are such helpful friendly staff and the food is amaizing wonderful place even had my wedding at the cocked hat xxxxx

Quick and friendly service from Kayleigh and Claire. Would 100% recommend coming to the cocked hat for food or drinks!

Very pleasant staff Great food. Steak was cooked to perfection. Clean and tidy with quick service from the kitchen. Hannah was exceptionally friendly and chirpy while taking the order. Definitely going back 😀

Had a lovely meal with great friends it was worth trying out cooked hat again deffo going back

Was a bit put out by a female member of your bar staff...a please or thank you would've been nice after waiting so long..sat outside all afternoon watching your sauce station congeal in the boiling heat..glad I don't like mayo.....foods OK.. typical pub grub ....

I came in with some family for some food, never been here before as we was just passing by. We ordered some food which I asked if it some ingredients which 1 of my family couldn't eat. The young man I think was called Martin was very helpful. Food came pretty fast very enjoyable. Good choice of drinks as well. We will be coming back soon

Great food/prices and the staff where amazing will definitely be coming again.

Great place for a family meal, cheap food and friendly staff, Sophie was very helpful

Went to the cocked hat tonight food came out hot and well presented and in a really good time . The staff out front were overwhelmed which was disappointing as it made the experience a little un inviting.staff just wandering round and not giving the customers the attention to make our visit better . We really like going to this pub and hope that you can rectify these problems.

Does exactly what you hope for.

Visited for the England game, service was prompt by Nathan - recommended me the buy one get one free cocktails which were very yummy! Will be back again!

Larisa was very welcoming and unbelievable service

Great service. My fave bartenders

Today was my first time at the restaurant and I had excellent service from Leah. She was friendly and polite. She was amazing

Food was great, would highly recomend this venue if you are in the area. We were served very promply by Hannah who was very polite and efficient.

Lovely staff, great service, great environment

Absolutely wonderful service for mine and my husbands wedding anniversary 29th June 2024 food was lovely dj was amazing should I ever need a party venue I know where I am coming really accommodating nothing was too much trouble

Lovely meal and very nice helpful staff. I would highly recommend a visit and I will be returning.

Very generic mid tier gastro pub, been various times over the last 10+ years Nothing exceptional, very mid

Lunch. today was Amazing . The food was perfectly cooked . Staff were very attentive . My favourite pub .

Very nice food, staff very attentive especially Leah. Would recommend

Hannah is a brilliant bar tender alway so helpful From Tommy and Niamh

Was there a last week with a party of 26 people. there was a mix up with my booking but they went above and beyond to provide a service for us, and they smashed it absolutely outstanding staff and the food was great. Thank you once again

Really good Hannah was amazing service with a smile!

Great pub for both beer and food. Staff are excellent, especially Leah - very helpful and attentive.

Good rage of beers, reasonable food and fantastic service from Lea

The burgers here are fantastic for the money and the mac n cheese is second to none. My wife is over the moon that the beyond burger (in her words) is perfect.

Great food would definitely recommend it, however, beer is a tad expensive, but so is everywhere these days, if you are holidaying in Gosport it’s definitely the place to eat.

We came here a few times before makeover, yes it was dated and need remodeling inside, other than food portions were great definitely value for money. We visited recently and liked the changes made to decor but unfortunately the food portion sizes had shrunk, still got a varied menu and good choices but the size of the meals have shrunk. Same good service

Not enough staff on,waited ages to be served.

Good quality food, fast service and freindly staff. Highly recommend.

Our hunger was satisfied but more so our want for great service was satisfied and beyond! “Leah” was fantastic to deal with, a lovely glow and personality! we will definitely be back! If not for the food then for the service thank you again Leah! Hope to see you next time.

The meal was amazing 👏 well done to the team.

Great food, great service, great atmosphere every time x

Great pub with friendly staff, Leah served me and was fantastic.

Our waitress, Leah was really lovely, polite and friendly, nothing too much trouble. Thank you

Twice I've been to the cocked hat and eaten the ribs and chicken combo, you get a nice big plate full with chips, onion rings, pot of coleslaw and a corn on the cob, lots of sauces to choose from that are on the tables there for you. All in all very filling and tasty and very nice polite staff, great new refurbished decor and excellent outside seating area to catch the sun with a chilled atmosphere. Leah cleared our table and she was lovely and friendly. Would highly recommend this place. 👌

Good food, nice service, nice clean restaurant and toilets. Definitely one to go back to .

Good food. Friendly staff. Great night.

Claire presented us with great service and food was amazing.

Was sat outside as turning up without booking on a prime night (Friday) As we ordered a lovely lady Claire came out and helped with finding us a table for 9 of us to eat. Alot of improvement has been made here and will see us returning in the near future Well done team cocked hat
