The Castle Tavern in Gosport - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Fantastic service, huge portions, lovely food :)

Popped in for a cheeky Monday tea.. Possibly the best veggie lasagne and chips with salad that I have ever had. Portion size was perfect, though managed to find room for an apple and caramel crumble. Delicious. Definitely recommended!!

First time here, very happy 5 diners will definitely visit again lovely welcoming and helpful staff thank you

Great traditional pub with great food, good selection of drinks and a great atmosphere. Service was spot on despite being quite busy.

Our first visit but definitely not our last. A warm welcome, lovely staff, tasty food and excellent value for money

Excellent food and always a good range of beers. A pity there is no private outside area for eating and drinking rather than on the pavement.

Old pub with "Sticky" surfaces. Needs modernisation badly I'm afraid. Staff making the most of the circumstances.

Lovely staff and the food was great at a reasonable price

Good beer, quick service, and although we didn't eat the food looked good

I spent a lovely evening here enjoying a good catch up with friends.

Spotlessly clean, very friendly staff...and the home made pie was delicious...well recommended

Five meat roast is lovely with lots of potatoes and vegetables, it was nice and relaxed and just as nice as I remember 😀 Thanks castle tavern. See you again soon

Lovely old tavern really comfy and homely with food to match. The portions are huge and food delicious, feels like a home cooked meal. Staff are really nice definitely recommend.

Great food and prices .roasty one of best around

Really good service and the food was excellent as always really good pub.

Would give it 5 stars if the beer wasn't so expensive. Food is good, mostly home made

Food was Absolutely delicious and plenty of it. Staff very friendly and helpful. Can't praise it enough.

Cold Wednesday night and a nice warm welcome and some wonderful food and service. Very nice will be back again.

Great team, very welcoming and good service, group Christmas meal well catered and enjoyable, would recommend 👌

First visit, very friendly pub, service and food spot on. Reasonably priced. Will go again.

Always a great place to eat and have your xmas meal.

Not too busy…. That’s for a reason 😂

Had a Christmas meal with a large group of friends, absolutely lovely food and good service. Fantastic value for money

To start with I’d like to say the staff were really nice and the atmosphere jolly. We decided to check out the food based on the reviews.The roast dinner my father-in-law had which was beef was a very generous portion the beef was cooked to perfection. The vegetables were a joke basically raw. The Brussels were like gobstoppers literally rock hard the green beans the same not just undercooked literally warm and raw. The so called roast potatoes were anaemic and tasted really odd. The vegetarian burger embarrassingly bad and the beef burger with cheese bacon and fried onion rings very bland and a mess. The burger was tasteless and a very odd colour like it had been cooked dry and sat in water, the bacon cold and the cheese was so cold it was stuck to the inside of the bun. The side salad literally the yellow internal of an iceberg lettuce with a couple of chunks of tomato. It goes to show that never go by the great reviews it depends on what quality of food your use to eating. The food reminded me of school dinners. Then the chips come on seriously you didn’t expect me to eat those surely. We eat our regular and that was definitely one of the worst roast dinners and burgers we’ve ever had apart from the beef and the Yorkshire pudding it was not edible. My father-in-law left all the veg and the so called roast potatoes and none of the salad on either burger was touched it was embarrassingly bad, Shame on you chef! Disappointing experience not to be repeated.

A very welcoming and friendly pub serving good beer and great food. Thoroughly recommend.

Heard lots of good things about their roast dinners and 1st time going there today. Service was OK, my daughter turned over her Yorkshire puddings and were Completely burnt on the bottom and soggy on top, spoke to the waitress and a half hearted apology later and again, more burnt Yorkshire puddings again and roast potatoes weren't cooked properly. Very disappointed 😞

Friendly, hardworking staff. Food is plentiful and very reasonable. Go hungry, as the servings are plentiful.

Really close to the ferry terminal in Gosport. A quiet Sunday evening roast. Huge portions with plenty of al dente veg. Get the child/OAP portions if you don't want to roll out of there. I'd definitely go back.

Tasty food the portion is large i loved the place

Lovely atmosphere, staff friendly, welcoming and helpful. Very busy for food best to book a table , homemade food, lovely variety for all tastes

Good portions and good pub grub. Friendly service.

Parking is on the street. Went there on a Friday night. All tables were reserved, but we were lucky, and a group did not turn up. Once we ordered the food turned up in good time.

I couldn't tell you price, I was a guest with my family, but the food was great and there was plenty of it.

Love the Castle Tavern. Never been disappointed. Cottage pie and the roast are a firm favourite. Large portions and great value for money.

Food is great, roast dinner is so delicious

Wow, was so impressed with the food. I had the Beef and Stilton pie it was amazing. My friends had the liver,bacon and mash and they gave it the thumbs up. My other friend had the sirloin steak and also thoroughly enjoyed. We will be back soon!

Open, serving food and a choice of about five roast dinners on a Monday night. Food, beer and most of all service was excellent. Thanks.

Excellent food. Food piping hot. Good pricing

Did not eat here, but we enjoyed our trip over on the Gosport ferry, visited the pub on a Thurs Eve , every table was reserved, so a good sign re food ...A good choice of cask ale, would have liked a local ale during our visit not on ...Young lady, possible the landlady was very helpful , and gave us some good info on local area , all friendly staff ..would recommend a visit . Apparently popular with local Sailors from the nearby marina ..Ty

Superb staff, food & atmosphere would very highly recommend and definitely will be returning again and again.

Just had drinks, nice and handy from the marina, nice boozer 🍺⛵

The staff and service here are lovely. Sailed all day and arrived here (food from 6pm) and was seated (booking may be necessary but we've eaten there and got in every time). The food is excellent, big servings and timely in arrival. Highly recommend the place. There is a discount menu for 2 for £20 with slightly smaller portions.

Good food,portions on the large side.Lovely staff.

A default marina bar great pub food

Haven’t been here since pre-covid. Great to see the place has been done up BUT way venue run a little odd and food not as good as once was. Still a ok place for a crew meal when you get out of Haslar and want somewhere to eat though.

Nice little pub to visit. We jumped on the Gosport ferrie to look at HMS Elizabeth and William in the port and saw this boozer and gave it a go. We never ordered any food so can't really review it properly but I had a look at the menu and it did look really nice

Staff were pretty rude, and EVERY table was reserved for '6 oclock rush' ... at 2pm.

Had a lovely roast dinner 3 people and one person had amazing gammon salad and 2 people had a 5 star burger

Lovely home cooked food great service with a smile and so close to the Gosport ferry Great to meet up with friends and family

Ordered 2 roast lamb to be delivered. They arrived ontime and hot. The lamb was perfect, intact it all was. I used to order from The Inn By The Sea but have not heard enjoyed the last 2 so tried the castle. It was definitely worth the extra couple of quid and they don't used a delivery company. Would definitely recommend them as well worth every penny. Well done!!!

Very generous and tasty pub grub. We had stilton and beef pie with roast potatoes and scampi and chips - both great portions. Few wines by the glass plus beers to select from and specials food menu. It was quite busy so service was a little slow but super friendly. 👌

Great service, staff great, great Sunday lunch.

The best Sunday dinner in Gosport.

Liver and onions superb. £5.10 a pint. Great service and attentive. I've used the Castle for years never disappointed.

Only went in for an afternoon beer, Sat out in the sunshine, and had a great chat with other guests

Reasonably priced good food served promptly. We went just as they opened so it was very quiet.

Very friendly staff and also efficient. Good range of draught beers, lagers and ciders. Excellent food - well above pub expectations.

My boy said he’s mate said I’ve just had the best roast dinner he went and done a job for a man he said I’ve just had the best roast dinner I had to book it really was the most lovely roast I’ve had lovely pub lovely staff was made to feel so welcome booked for next week week to I told my other boy we had a table for next week he said we can’t wait till next week so he went down got a table for 4 They all had a lovely starter and Roast was so excited about the puddings but they was stuffed can’t wait for next week end thank you so much

Great pub for freshly made food from local ingredients. Staff work hard to serve you but it does get busy with sailors from the local marinas.

Friendly, great food service and staff amazing.

A solid pub. It's not a gastro pub so don't expect fancy food but you do get a decent portion at a decent price and it's not all just brought in and microwaved. It's generally pretty busy so the beer is good but getting a table for food can be tricky.

I dropped in with some mates for a quick beer. It was fine.

Tables all had reserved signs on them despite being empty. We were told that was normal however is unusual for a bar!

Amazing sunday lunch, the best i have ever had since living here 12yrs. The veg are fresh, meat is in abundance, potatoes lovely and gravy meaty. Staff are lovely and welcoming. Overall a great experience, compliments to the chef.

Best lunch on the South Coast and good value! Their home cooked pies are amazing.

Very good prices and tasty food, I had a roast and not the best I had but by far the best value for money... friendly staff who squeezed us in

Great traditional food, large portions so most people will struggle with 3 courses. Wide selection of beers. Very pleasant bar staff.

Good pint. Dark inside which is a shame on a sunny day. But a good down to earth traditional local.

Great food and service best roasts in Gospory

We had our first Trident Rally of the season and got several recommendations for the Castle Tavern, they were well founded the food was great service was excellent and staff were lovely. One of our members said it was the best pub meal they had ever had and he's 86 so has had 1 or 2 in his time. Big thank you to you all for a great evening 😁👍

Cracking Sunday lunch,apart from the sprouts

One of Gosports friendly pubs...Full of the yachty fraternity...

Verity and staff are always a pleasure to talk to, and the food is always wonderful.

Not been in for a few years but met friends for supper and in the best possible way, it's still very much the same. The sailors pub, buzzy atmosphere and plenty of laughter. Basic food menu, wholesome and big portions. Only gripe was no parmaesan cheese when you have spaghetti bolognase on the menu.

Fantastic Sunday roasts -Oldie size which is ample & reasonably priced Middle size Caveman size with 3 meats. always delicious with plenty of vegetables

Fantastic food and lovely staff

Good pub food, tasty, big portions 🙈, good atmosphere, friendly staff. What more could you want ❤️

Best roast dinner, best value, exceptional staff

Never had a bad meal . Staff are always pleasant. Size of portions are big. Recommend this pub

Denied service due to my disability and reliance on my PTSD Assistance Dog. Was part of a Veterans Support Group booking for an Xmas meal. Told they only accept Guide Dogs. I offered to show them the Equalities Act 2010 guidance regarding Assistance Dog access rights (always have it saved on my phone) but was told they only follow their guidelines. Distressed the other wounded veterans that were going to dine that night but management were not interested in discussing the issue. Not veteran friendly and do not support or adapt to the needs of disabled persons. Very disappointing in a town with such strong military connections.

Beautiful Christmas dinner. Lovely staff. Well recommend

One of the nicest pubs in Gosport. I went there for my Christmas do and the food was good. It's also close to the Portsmouth ferry if you want to pop over to the Gunwarf marina development etc.

Great food good value for money fantastic staff.

Took 7 girls for our Xmas meal and as always it was excellent. Service was brilliant and meals beautifully cooked we will all be back soon. Best pub meal in Gosport j

Returned to the Castle for the first time since moving out of Gosport. I wasn't dissapointed, the food was delicious, I decided to miss the starters and have a mixed roast. The portion was generous and I was too full to choose a sweet. Will be back again soon.

Really nice local pub with good selection of ales and beers, what looked like an excellent menu (we didn't eat but plenty were) and I'd definitely return.

Takeaway Sunday Roast..... Superb good value tasty quality food, will definitely have again, cannot fault food or service!

Good beers on tap, food also is good. Popular for those using the marina next door. Due to this getting a table for food can be challanging

Very friendly staff and management. Keep it up guys.

First time here, very nice food and great quality for the money. Staff are very friendly and welcoming. Highly recommended 👌🏻

As always the food was delicious

Have been coming to this pub for years now, lovely Sunday roast, can't beat it :)

Best Sunday Roast in the area. Never fails to impress and our go to place. Lovely staff and great atmosphere.

Staff are very helpful and friendly. Food is lovely, freshly cooked and large portions. Good selection on menu. Certainly not just pub food Would recommend and return.

Lovely roast lamb dinner for me and my daughter,fast and friendly service.Def recommended

Just had a quick pint lovely atmosphere freindly staff

Great food, and very nice prices. A few outdoor tables for nice days or evenings. Friendly, local clientele.

great food either eating in or home delivery. always look forward to having a meal there ;)

Great food at a great price. Good English pub fare.

Although appearing to be very popular with diners, this pub continues to look like a traditional public house with a decent selection of real ales and lagers, beside ferry port. Very clean and comfortable with efficient bar staff. Could be challenging for impromptu drinkers to simply pop in and get a table inside though, as most inside tables had 'reserved' signs placed on them, and were set up for dining (presumably for diners coming later in evening as none were occupied when I visited at 5pm), with only a few non-reserved tables made available in corner for those just popping in for a drink. Plenty of seating outside on street though, if weather is clement and for customers who don't mind smell of cigarette smoke.
