De Havilland Arms in Hart

Family and dog friendly, helpful staff and great atmosphere

The pub is generally a nice place to go. Staff are usually helpful and polite and the food and drinks are good and priced reasonably. Toilets are dirty though and there are often lots of empty glasses left on tables. It's let down mainly though by the continous shouting, swearing, and over-the-top yelled conversation from the same group on the last few visits. They are obviously regulars who occupy tables by the door to the garden in the main bar area. As it’s in the centre of the pub it takes over everything. The behaviour is beyond acceptable even for those used to very rowdy pubs and it gets worse as the evening progresses to the point where it is impossible to have a conversation in the bar. We were not the only group to move tables as the management were not doing anything about it. Another group left on our second visit. We stayed but sat outside to avoid it. The De Havilland Arms appears to be a family-friendly pub restaurant but when those mentioned are there, it is anything but. Unfortunately this behaviour starts early on so you might not want to take younger children along. For this reason we sadly won't be returning any time soon.

Sort your garden out. Old glasses, plates and rubbish everywhere. Not a pleasant place to sit! It’s not difficult but it’s like this constantly!

Lovely pub, decor great, attentive and cheerful service from Phoebe and Ben, food was a little on the small side but tasty! Thank you!

Popped in for evening meal. Everything ok But the Rump steak was awful. Complained and was told the mid-sharpen limp of meat , grizzle was how they are now delivered. Apparently ogg to hers have complained but still they charge £23 for “steak”. If you’re going stick to the pies, burgers.

thanks Ben for a great service and Alice x Always a welcoming place. And substantial pub grub.

Wonderfull experience at the de hav, lovely food and great service from Ben

Food was excellent, service was brilliant from phoebe and ben. At the bar service was also very good from liv and alice. such a good experience

Good food, nice staff, good atmosphere(but was a but dark/not much lighting) would also recommend the loaded nachos also is dog friendly(dogs allowed in and water available for them)

We stood at the bar where there was 2 staff. One lady, who I’d think is the manager was doing something with the till. Not once did she look at us or even acknowledge us. She then finished what she was doing on the till, still not even saying hello etc and went and tended to tables. We stood for a bit longer and waited but We walked out after being ignored for so long. Absolutely disgusting customer service

A lovely pub. Attentive waiter, who happily chatted to adults AND the children! Went above and beyond for my birthday. Food was lovely (I tried a piece from each plate as well as my own order 😅) Was lovely to see all the historical pictures and war memorabilia. Would happily return here!

Megan was attentive and polite. Thoroughly recommend on the attention to detail. The food was very good quality and reasonably priced. We had 4 dogs who were made very welcome

Great food and drinks. Welcoming environment with friendly, helpful staff

Poor customer services. Owner bared us simply for complaining about quality of food and rude service. Nothing else.

It is an awful place with terrible service. The food has ridiculous prices. Nothing is freshly cooked; instead, it is heated up. The staff seems to think they are doing you a favour if you can get their attention. You must accept terrible food and service and never raise a concern! It is a chaotic and dirty place. We have never seen more than two people who take orders at the bar and the tables. You could be waiting for ages before someone notices you and seats you. Then, the wait begins for someone to take your order. When it finally arrives, you wonder what you are paying ridiculous prices for. After taking your order, they will sometimes confirm that they don't have the items on the menu. I ordered some sort of chicken which I had to leave because it was stinking. The staff are rude, angry and inattentive. Your feedback is not welcome. You should pay ridiculous prices and be willing to accept terrible service and food.

Cheap food served at ridiculous prices. The place is chaotic and dirty. It is hard to see more than two people behind the bar. The bar staff take drink orders and orders at the table. You could wait a very long time to get a drink and struggle to get anyone’s attention. It is not unusual for them to get your order wrong. The staff if you can get anyone’s attention are rude, unhelpful and unfriendly. The waitress who served us was so angry (probably overworked) that when she brought our drinks to the table, she dropped the glass so hard that she nearly broke it and then walked off! If you are dissatisfied with the service, there is no culture for noting a concern. You should pay ridiculous prices and should be happy to accept less than acceptable food and service. It’s certainly not a place to go for good food and service.

Love my local pub. Fab staff. service and food always. Thankyoy guys

Had a lovely roast dinner here. Food was delicious and staff very friendly. Especially Megan and Mia

Our waitress was Lilly and she was brilliant

Served by Megan and Mia, very attentive and friendly.

Staff are friendly and food comes quickly for kids

Fabulous lunch menu, Jon & Lilly who served us were great. Ideal for dogs and good vibe

A warm welcome. Good selection of beers, wine and cocktails. Lunch menu has a good selection - the fish finger sandwich was delicious. Service is good with a buzzy atmosphere.

Ben served us and was fantastic. Very attentive and professional. He made our night.

Amazing drinks good food. Staff are very friendly towards me. I chatted to this one girl about my personal life and she was so friendly and responsive.

Service from Ben was great, would have preferred normal custard rather than dairy free!

Food is so poor, waste of money. Handful of times I’ve been now and just a waste each time

Ben was super accomidating and lovely. Busy atmosphere & great streak

Really lovely dinner, great service by Ben!

Lovely pub, a little quiet but it was a Tuesday night.

Megan was brilliant! Had a great time x

I booked a table on-line for a Monday to take advantage of the discounted food offer price. When we arrived we were greeted at the bar with a friendly smile. We were shown where our reserved table was located and we were asked if we were happy with the table or if we would prefer to choose a different table. The menu choice of food was good and I decided to go with the BBQ chicken meal that I was recommended by the waiter/barman and my friend chose the chicken Caesar salad. Both myself and my friend thoroughly enjoyed our meals and we had no complaints. We look forward to eating there again.

Lovely food and service. Erin was especially helpful and made the evening really memorable

We drove a long way to get to the pub, and it was worth it! It waitress Erin was very attentive. A great evening.

Quite a busy vibrant pub and very popular with locals. The food was ok and our Waiter was very friendly. When we sat the ambiance was very pleasant. Then the music was turned up (way too loud) we had to shout at each practically until we asked the waiter if it could be turned down slightly. The staff were all very pleasant and attentive but do feel there should be a dress code. One of the young waitresses was dressed very inappropriately with her skirt so short it put you off your dinner 🙈

We had an enjoyable evening & meal, and Erin was very nice and friendly. Thanks!

Excellent service. Very attentive. Felt very cared for throughout by Erin. Will recommend.

Came for the first time for a Valentine’s Day meal. Will 100% be returning due to the service and the quality of the food. Megan’s service was nothing less than perfect and led for a relaxing night out. Ben checked on our food and brought a deserts and was a delight to speak with.

Our waiter, Ben, was great and super enthusiastic. The team here are always smiling, positive and we have a great time.

Great atmosphere, friendly helpful staff. Found us a table with hardly any wait when we hadn't booked. Food was lovely and very reasonable

It’s a lovely pub! We dined tonight and were served by Ben and Megan. The service was great, attentive and friendly. We enjoyed the food very much and the warm atmosphere. Will be happy to return.

The food was so lovely! The vibe in the pub is so relaxing especially with the fire burning! Thank you to Ben the bar tender who was so so so nice and delivered such a great service :)

Lovely cozy place. Didnt eat here this time

Megan was amazing. So attentive and helpful.

Really tasty food, lovely atmosphere, and great staff.

Food was lovely and we had the nicest waitress, very polite and attentive would recommend

We came for a group Christmas meal. The team couldn’t have looked after us better. The food was great ( and we had allergies to deal with ). Special thanks to Chloe, Darcy and Iain .

Lovely meal with the family. Nice chat with the table next to us. Happy dog, got a few treats too.

Very helpful waitress this evening

Lovely pub, food is amazing - home made and fresh. Staff are all very friendly and helpful. Had a surprise birthday meal here and from start to finish the staff and food were brilliant.

Lovely well priced food and the barman/waiter was very friendly. We will be coming back!

Great service and wholesome sunday roast ,very enjoyable

Ben served us and he was brilliant. He made sure that we had exactly what we wanted with our food and drink. Brilliant service.

Ben was very cheerful, food was prompt and tasty and service was prompt. Lovely atmosphete

Ben was very friendly and cheerful. Made it a great meal out for a birthday lunch !

Ben was excellent at customer service and very engaging

Lovely food, prompt service too. Very attentive staff too, very helpful. Will go back again definitely. Had pork balls for starter, mushroom chiabatta for main and banoffee waffle for dessert 🍪 adequate portion size. Ben was one of our servers, lovely, friendly & helpful. Great variety of drinks behind bar too. Including alcohol free for those driving Was there for over 3 hrs for a birthday meal, time flew by.

Great staff especially Ben such a great birthday meal

Went for our friends 50th, had an amazing evening, food was delicious and the service was great, we were well looked after by Ben and co, thanks to all at The Dehav ❤️

Lovely food, staff are friendly, nice pub.

Lovely meal, the food was amazing and so was the staff. Massive thanks to Ben for being so welcoming to our Steve 🐦

Attentive service, albeit it was cold in the building, I asked to put a fire on, its a double burner, but that didn't happen. Would visit again though

Delicious food and excellent service.

Great atmosphere, really nice restaurant area, food is great and the service is efficient and organised.

We went as a group of 29 people. The manager was very helpful with the booking, and setting us up in a large area. Menu and food was good and the service was excellent, and I particularly appreciated that the pub was very easily able to take payment from each person individually. I did not use the booking webpage to pre-order the food, but instead provided the manager with a spreadsheet with our choices - this was perfectly acceptable, and the servers coped well with giving the right food to the right people. This was about the fifth time we have come here for our group Christmas lunch.

Love this place. Lovely refurbishment. Lots of space and people are super friendly. Garden games for kids are really sweet too

Very friendly and welcoming staff, also helpful when making our food and drink choices. Really enjoyed our meal with friends.

We are lucky to have a fantastic pub on our doorstep and regularly visit with our daughter. The food has very much improved over the past few months and as always the atmosphere and staff are great and accommodating to families.

Very friendly and welcoming staff, also helpful when making our food and drink choices. Really enjoyed our meal with friends.

Great food, great atmosphere and really friendly staff.

We had a celebration meal with friends, and ate off the seasonal celebration menu. The food was great, service excellent, with names used from the preorder to ensure everyone got their order abd the dietary requirements were correctly catered for. Atmosphere was nicely festive. A lovely lunch out with no pressure to clear the table for a sharp second sitting. Thanks to Ian , Darcey and Chloe for looking after us so well.

Marvellous food went with 14 people for a Christmas lunch the food was hot and nicely served in fact the food was too much to eat

A Christmas party, 20 people. Excellent service, food was amazing. Highly recommend this venue. Their new menu is great.

Liv my server was simply fantastic. The pub needs more staff like her 😘

I stopped here quickly to charge my car while on a trip to Bath. The space is cosy and nice. Looks old, but I guess that's the point of vintage 🙃 The coffee wasn't bad, I had a Cappuccino as you can see.

Fabulous place! Loved how dog friendly it is too - water bowls and treats for each table. The food was hot and fresh and the table was spacious for 9 of us. Will return asap!

Like the Christmas decorations, the girl with a fat ass and blond hair think it was Liz or Liv was very patient and welcoming. Staff was friendly and good came quickly was very impressed with the sticky toffee pudding

Lilly is my favourite member of staff, she lit the fire when I was cold and gave me a cuddle to keep me warm.

Liv was fantastic.. super service with super smile

Lovely food and to be able to have a roast late on a Sunday, after a busy day of diners, was great. Fantastic service too from Megan.

Lovely supper with my little boy

Two great roast chicken dinners - very friendly service and dog friendly

A lovely dog friendly pub. 3rd time so far. Great time every time!

Great meal at the DeHav this evening. Ben and his staff have been very attentive producing great service throughout the evening. The food (2 x Tanglefoot Pies) were very welcome, of course justified with the inclement weather conditions 😜. Great evening, thank you!

It was a great night with a lovely atmosphere and service was lovely thanks to Lilly.

Stopped in here on a Sunday for lunch after walking the dogs around the nature reserve. Dogs are welcome inside but we sat outside as it was warm. We had the Roast beef, and Roast chicken with a side platter. Food was delicious, couldn't fault it. Staff are very friendly and welcoming. Price average. We will definitely be back.

We're very lucky to have this as our local. Liv and the gang are #1

An amazing place that makes you relax and just enjoy your time. Always felt welcomed. Just amazing

This is the best pub food we’ve ever had, and we don’t say that lightly! Service was amazing, atmosphere was beautiful and the vegan options were plenty :)

Lovely atmosphere and well decorated. Our server Lilly was attentive and friendly. Would recommend.

Love Liv, she is great, always so friendly and my dog Bobby is always happy to see her. The best local around x

Honestly the best local pub/restaurant. The team are amazing and so personable. Special mention to our favourite bar maid Olivia, best bar man John and Iain who is by far the best manager the Dehav have had x

A superb pub; right on our doorstep. Welcoming and warm environment and made even better by the bubbly smile of Liv. For Liv, nothing is too much trouble; friendly and tenacious rolled into one, an asset to Hall & Woodhouse.

Awesome. Service and food amazing

Lovely friendly pub. Food & coffees have always been great and the welcome given by Iain and his team is particularly good. It’s definitely a place to return to.

Liv Morgan the best bar staff in Hampshire.

Decided to have a Sunday lunch at the pub. As always the staff and service great. Had the Camembert and wife had the Roast Chicken which were delicious and then both had the Sticky Toffee for dessert - Again, very good. Highly recommended.

Busy when we went but not helped by the few empty tables not having been cleared of glasses, etc. and cleaned. My wife and I had to clear our own table and 'enjoy' our drinks next to other people's crumbs. Not helped by the three people on duty wasting their time chatting behind the bar rather than doing their jobs. Seriously unimpressed. Should have taken photos, I'll remember that next time....

Outland Stout and Chicken Wings were outstanding 10/10

We decided to try De Havilland Arms after passing by a few times and being curious about it. We visited in the mid-afternoon, and it was fairly empty, which we thought was fine. The bar staff were friendly and helpful, so that was a positive start. However, the food was disappointing. After a 20-minute wait, the Double Stacked Beef Burger I ordered wasn't worth the £14.75 price tag. The bun was dry and slightly hard, the burgers were overcooked, and the filling was minimal. For that price, I expected much better quality. While the service was good, the food quality just didn’t match up. I gave it a try, but unfortunately, I don't see myself returning anytime soon.
