Cocked Hat in Gosport

Great food and service staff always happy and friendly

A lovely meal in a fab atmosphere. Mo the manager was extremely accommodating. Reasonably priced. Will definitely be back.

Good service. Did not have to wait long for food, atmosphere always quite relaxed. The food was good but I feel that the deserts aren't as nice as they used to be and a stingy amount of chips, could be a bit tastier also.

A great place that was well serviced by the staff

After previous experience of the breakfast before we decided to go as a birthday treat for myself as it was a lovely breakfast. But unfortunately today was a complete disaster our beans were stone cold the egg me and my husband had was rock hard and curled up at the edges and the mushrooms were more like freeze dried and the toast was cold and so hard it was a struggle to bite. The bacon was dirty with what i assumed was a dirty griggle from the night before. We did mention that it was not the best breakfast we had before and was offered some more hot beans and a drink but by the time they arrived everyone was nearly finished what edible on the plate.We were really disappointed with our visit today and after spending over 75 pounds on a breakfast for 6 adults and 3 children we will think twice about going again.it wasn't even busy the restaurant was empty apart from 5 other guests.

We had gammon, pie, and small roast. All really nice. Could do with better Sheraz, but otherwise great pub.

Booked tonight for my son’s birthday. Added a few more people via email and was updated quickly. Lovely food, lovely professional welcoming staff, lovely and clean place to eat, just all lovely jubbly ! Well done to the Cocked Hat Crew we will be back, thank you

Lovely place, lovely atmosphere, lovely food and finally lovely staff. Claire and Hannah were very polite and make the best Malibu and orange juice I have ever drank. 5 stars

After a few bad experiences in the past, yesterday was the complete opposite. A very warm welcome, waiting time at the bar and for food was minimal, food was very hot, all cooked as ordered and was delicious. We will see you again soon

Warm welcome, food was very tasty,

Hadn't been in for years, well impressed. with the interior. Harrison and Claire served myself my partner and our little dog with drinks and foodwhich was excellent. (mixed grill, 8oz steak, corn and coleslaw).Really nice servers, professional friendly and approachable. Will definitely be back. Thank you Sue Jo & Winnie 😊

Popped in today on the off chance we could get a table, glad we did!! 6 of us in total, from a 1 year old to a 64 year old...kids menu, burgers & roast dinners were all enjoyed!! Food was amazing, great value for money!! The team were amazing 👏 we will be back for sure!!!

Warm and friendly welcome. Service excellent. Value for money food. Served hot and with a smile. Waitress checked if all OK, and did we want more drinks. Really come up in our estimation.

This place doesn't get the credit it deserves fantastic food all meat being cooked to perfection especially on Saturday night with our family of 6. Plus the staff were great with our 3 children. Thank you

The food has been very good on every occasion both I and my wife have visited and the service and general atmosphere have been decent too.

Love this place, always stopping in with the kids for a weekend treat and to see the amazing team there!

Nice meal. Pipping hot and nicely presented

Absolutely amazing food, brilliant atmosphere and fantastic staff.

Sophie was amazing, food was hot and very nice

Great place! Good atmosphere and always show the sports for us! Lovely bar staff :)

Went to the Cocked Hat for lunch today. As is usual the staff are outstanding. They always try to get my wife and I our favourite table. Now number 27. The food is excelent. Since its refurbishment the atmosphere and feel of the establishment is outstanding. I cannot recommend the Cocked Hat highly enough. BTW went for breakfast with my wife, daughter and daughter in law a couple of days ago, absolutely brilliant. I intend to be a regular.

Food was dry, had a chicken burger with a spicy sauce and sausage was dry and overcooked. My pals steak looked nice though. So maybe next time go for that. Place was clean and tidy Staff never asked once how our food was if they would have I would have told them. You have to pay before you eat. This standard shows the poor quality.

Great atmosphere, good value for money

Really lovely meal and excellent staff

The first time that I went with my family, the food was very good 👍

During a family outing 2 of the XL mixed grills came without eggs along with no pepper corn sauce we both asked for, and another order never came with the sweet corn listed on the menu, after waiting for desserts we ordered, yes where still waiting for them ( large party)

Was very busy tonight but the staff were great! Quick service at the bar! Shan is a great laugh and Sav was amazing bringing is our cake out after our fantastic meal!

Amazing service from shania very polite and welcoming ….food was lovely we ordered the ribeye steak medium cooked just how I like it and the gammon skillet a few gin and lemonade drinks…. a very clean welcoming pub very tasty food

Bogof deals here are absolutely amazing, Shania’s service was top notch, made sure we had everything we needed. I’ll definitely be back!

Came here for a meal with the family just after Christmas. One of our party was a wheelchair user, and although there is a wide ramp leading up to the entrance, the doors to get into the restaurant and the layout did not cater well for it. Luckily, there was a helpful chap having a Christmas meal with his family who was able to help, otherwise I doubt we would've been able to get in. For some reason we weren't able to order through the Greene King app on the day, which was a bit annoying, so we had to go up to the bar and order. Most of our party had fish and chips whilst a couple of us had the chicken and ribs combo (myself included). I was really disappointed with the food I had here. The ribs were okay, but the chicken was horrible, cold, dry, and had a bit of a chlorine taste to it. Chips were a bit cold, and the corn on the cob was freezing. The fish and chips looked quite good, and those who ordered it seemed to enjoy it, so that may be a safer choice if you are brought along here with your family against your will! They had sports on and the beer was good, so it might be a good option for that, however in the local area there are better options for sport and beer, such as The Village Home Pub.

Awful awful awful. From the disgruntled greeting of 'sticking us on the balcony' to burnt garlic bread starter after 30mins wait (what kind of chef burns garlic bread) to waiting another 45 minutes after returning the burnt starter to receive a cold kids meal, two burnt bitter tasting steaks, and two staff members clearly ignoring us and serving two other waves of customers after us first, without even an apology for the delay or a sorry for the disgusting meals they served up as food (all the food for other tables flew out). My 8year old now has a tummy cramp from the beef burger that you had to re heat, garnished with a tiny bit of manky old lettuce from the bin or another plate. I wanted to leave and get a Chinese, wish I had gone with my gut instinct but when you have starving hungry kids and wife you try and bear with it so they can eat. Been in here two or three times to eat this year always decent, different staff tonight and different 'chef' presumably, certainly a different outcome. Only decent honourable thing was the barmaid refunded the whole meal and was apologising, but would much rather have eaten properly for the money without the risk of food poisoning my family. Disgraceful, and absolutely no need for it or the arsey attitude of a waitress, and a waiter who belongs on a building site, staring at you and gobbing off all around, but can't do he's job of a check back on a table. Fuming aint the word if my nipper is rough all night and tomorrow, ill be coming straight back down for words.

Awful food, disgusting facilities, dirty and cluttered tables, forgot meals from our order as "chef has thrown away the batter", table not ready when booked, toilets disgusting, staff rude and inattentive

Nice pub diner ...food is good and the place is friendly.... good selection of beers

We had our Christmas meal at gosport it was the best Christmas meal we have had everyone was happy we came on the 15th of December we will be back soon.

Friendly staff. The atmosphere was very much Christmasy. Big enough inside and pleasant outside in summer. It's easily accessible by drive if you're not local.

Lovely space to meet up and spend quality time with family! I'd love it if the had some large round tou le for bigger groups as I always feel like I've only spoken to half the table.....

Food and service was fantastic, as a walk in they found us a table even though lot were reserved, staff polite and levels about right, oderers of food delivered in 12 mins inc steak

Not been to harvester 4 ten years. It has improved

Banging place only been a few times but the foods good

Lovely place to go with the family for food or if you fancy a great night out with friends, staff are always friendly.

Lovely family meal here, good value for money, friendly staff

Had our Wedding Anniversary meal there, and received excellent service and a bit of humorous marriage guidance after i got my wife's order wrong. Needless to say the staff rescued me.

Just had lunch here. Didn't have an alcoholic drink but coffee which was great. Food was ok and what you would expect from this type of establishment e.g. scampi lasagne, burgers etc. There are steaks on the menu as well. Would eat here again I think.

Not a fan of the latest menu, not many options for my son as he isn't a huge burger fan or beef eater he would always have a chicken tikka masala which is no longer on the menu so he had to just have 2 starters and chips , there is and has always been a very long waiting time for the food to be served and then it's hit and miss if you get the whole order and then have to chase it up, BUT the food is nice when u do finally receive it.

Not ideal for a romantic meal but fine for a family celebration it was a bit noisy for us because of the sports bar section. The food was very good with the steak cooked just as we wanted it

Amazing birthday meal with friends was lush thanks

Highly recommend great food and brilliant service by Kayleigh

Great value, nice food, friendly service 😀

Consistently great food, friendly pleasant service, and newly refurbished so is clean and modern. Been there a few times since the refurbishment and so it's busy but if the food might take longer than usual they'll let you know when you order which is fine as the food will be hot, tasty and incredible value for money.

So much has changed.New menu, beautiful decor and surroundings. The staff were excellent at their job, extremely courteous and friendly. Only complaint that we had, was with our daughter kids food! No care or thought had gone into it. Well priced and well worth it though.

Had a bacon burger. Sadly overcooked. Very dry and hard. Shouldn't be hard to cook a patty surely!

Been in the past and been a few times since the refit , brilliant place, toilets very clean overall experiences great food, can thoroughly recommend , skillets are brilliant

Other than great food and staff toilets are very clean to a high standard and hand dryers are brilliant, good time all round

The food is great staff are very friendly and helpful and polite

Great family meal,amazing food ,very well looked after by the manager Claire ,highly recommend

Fantastic experience, greeted by Claire who I believe is the assistant manager, great food and friendly service 😀

When myself and my wife went for a meal, claire was very welcoming and accomodating and has a great team working under her

Havant been to this place for many years as I had such a bad experience in the passed last week myself and a few work colleagues decided to pop in and have a meal for lunch. What a different experience food was great and good value for money we was served by a lady called Claire who went above and beyond will definitely be visiting again soon Well done

Greeted by Claire with a warm welcome ,food ordered was exceptional and ver quick ,5etars all the way and definitely return very soon

Wouldn’t order the chicken .. day 2 of throwing up.

A very warm welcome, extensive menu, and fair prices. An enjoyable lunch and I will return! Thank you so much

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

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 👏

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

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

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

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.

Brilliant staff. Brilliant food!

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

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

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

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!

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 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

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!
