Extremely disappointed with this bar / restaurant. They are advertising on their website and on a large blackboard behind the bar that they have a daily Happy Hour for cocktail. Upon arrival and asking for a cocktail the bar manager without any sense of apology informed us that they were not doing Happy Hours or had cocktails. Strange when the bar was fully stocked with every spirit possible. Their prices were on the high side for drinks, the bar had zero atmosphere and unfriendly staff. Do not waste your time driving or walking to the ends of Hayling Island. Without doubt misrepresenting what they sell and their services.

An unannounced pop in whilst out on our bikes. Stunning place and team plus greeted and served amazingly by the whole team. The interaction throughout the whole time was brilliant. We had a mixture of sharing plates as wanted to share, they were delicious! we had, Mac n cheese with Parma ham Camembert Melting brisket pot (our favourite ❤️) Halloumi Calamari Plus a cheeky cocktail - paradise pot. This place is stunning for the view and experience and we’ll be back very soon 👏👏👏

Lovely starters & main - moules & frites were very good, pizza and fish & chips too. Cater for allergies too which is great. Dessert wasn’t so good - supposed to be homemade vanilla bean cheesecake but disappointed as definitely doesn’t taste like vanilla - it’s pink in colour & very difficult to distinguish what flavour it is. If it’s not what is advertised on the menu, then staff members should make us aware before ordering!

We have been coming to Hayling for 30 years and have eaten at most places on the Island, including Drift. We had just returned from 2 weeks in Spain where we ate out most nights but I have to say this was by far the most memorable and most tasty dish that I have eaten this summer. The Seafood Bucatini was simply delicious. The 3 other dishes were also great, as were the cocktails, as was the service and the atmosphere. Highly recomended.

I've known about "Drift" for a while, just never got around to going. It was worth the wait (and worth the effort locating it!). The setting is wonderful on a pier in a marina if you like yachts. Maybe too many yachts if you don't. We hit Drift for a late lunch on a week day so it was quiet. That also meant that we got the table of our choice, by the window, and the service was instant and second to none. Drinks arrived in a moment, we had plenty of time to chose, and both settles for a light-bite with sides to share. I only discovered halloumi earlier this year so I'm still enjoying the novelty. Rather than the usual "chilli jam" which can be overbearing and disguise the taste of the cheese, Drift served them chip sized in a thick rich tomatoey tomato sauce with a side salad. AJ had a bowl of prawns and chilli something and lime. We shared a garlic flatbread the size of a pizza and a side of fries. And then we had a magic moment. Were these actually the best chips we had ever eaten in 60+ years. After a moments pause we decided that they actually were. The best chips ever. Just one grumble. It's hard to find, hidden the far side of a housing estate and could do with a "Yes this really IS the Drift Restaurant" sign at the marina entrance because we almost turned back. Thank you Emily for looking after us so well, N & AJ

After a long sunny walk on Hayling Island Beach we stopped off at Drift for lunch. Emily and Cam were brilliant hosts, great service, super helpful and friendly. We had pizza, fish and chips, and pasta with coke, wine and a few ciders. The halloumi side was v tasty. A friendly, bright and spacious atmosphere. Keep up the great work works.

My wife and I had a long weekend off work and decided on an impromptu visit to Hayling Island. Once there, and after a walk along the front we decided to look for somewhere for lunch and a quick Google search for places we could see (to check reviews) we decided to give the Olive Leaf a shot. Plenty of parking next to and behind the establishment and a welcoming entrance. Upon entering we were immediately welcomed with a friendly smile and a warm greeting. Asking for a table for two we had plant of choice and plumped for a window table. Shortly after our requested Lattes were on the table and we given plenty of time to order. After looking at the interesting menu we were both drawn to a Special on the board of Hog Roast Pie..... Sounded interesting and different. Food was served in good time and oh my word - what a well executed and delicious dish! A cold Shandy to wash it down and a lovely Cheesecake to finish. Overall a decent lunch and at a very reasonable price. The staff were great and I would definitely return and recommend. Well done Olive Leaf.

I purchased a couple of pastries, including a sausage roll and a cheese and onion bake, and to my surprise, they were both stone cold. I understand that there can be fluctuations in temperature, but this was more than just a slight drop—these pastries were downright cold and unappetizing. It’s really disappointing when you’re expecting a warm, tasty treat, only to be met with something that seems like it’s been sitting out for far too long. It’s not the standard of quality I associate with Greggs, and I’m sure many customers feel the same way. I hope you take this feedback seriously, as I believe that ensuring your pastries are served warm and fresh is crucial to maintaining the high standards your brand is known for.
