A lovely pub! Went in for a few leavers drinks for a colleague andt6he décor was nice, easy to park up, polite staff and dog friendly!

Busy very traditional English pub. Great atmosphere. Roast was the best, absolutely delicious and large portions. Good value for money. We will definitely be back 🤩

Went here after another local pub was closed on new year's eve, and boy was it worth it, a big shout out to the staff and regulars who made us feel very welcome. Staff were fantastic, and the music and dancing that followed were epic. Fantastic night at a welcoming pub. We'll be back.

New years eve, totally brill loved it

Great local pub with decent beers and pub food - Sunday lunch is outstanding value for quality and quantity

Lovely local traditional pub - very welcoming atmosphere

Stopped here for lunch on the way to Lymington. Glad I did a bit of research looking for a proper pub with good food and friendly service. Proper steak and kidney pud here.

Good tasting beer just a shame there were kids in there fairly late running about

Sunday lunch was very good. Tables sticky and could do with a good cleaning. It was a bit noisy by loud men at the bar.

Very nice pub, great atmosphere, felt very welcome, the food was just right for us, love all the Deco so many interesting things and kids and dog friendly. Would defo recommend

Lovely Sunday lunch lots of fresh veg roasties were good and lots of gravy, my only criticism was the beef was overcooked i like mine pink but there was lots of it and very good value for money

We came for a meal tonight to try the new menu and support our local, omg it was amazing the presentation was second to none, we would recommend it to anyone.

Hadn't been there for years. Still a very nice pub.

Consistency is the key word here. Yes, there are better restaurants but the minted lamb shank Sunday roast at The General Havelock is ALWAYS good

Love coming here great local and great Thai food Thursday to Saturday, spent lots of time down here during the summer as has a great garden too, landlord is decent

Stumbled across this place looking for something to eat at 4pm, a tricky time. We got lucky, big time. It was a Thursday and that meant Thai-day at the generals. We had the duck tamarind and the green curry. Wow! I know it's a cliche but it was the best Thai food outside of Thailand. Have to go back and bring friends. Shame it's limited to Thursdays and Saturdays. Great selection of beers on tap too. Maybe the food on other days ain't so bad either?

A party of 4 enjoyed a great get together on Monday lunchtime. Ribs all round, well priced and so tasty

Great local pub great food and all the staff are so friendly and great food

Beautiful historic pub with a lovely garden .The staff are all very friendly with excellent customer service .The roasts are excellent and plentiful ,I have had the beef and then the last time the lamb shank .Looking forward to trying the Thai as have heard this is delicious too .

Great friendly and dog friendly local. Thai food on Thursday and Saturday is excellent. Smashing team and a good pint. Worth supporting a good local.

A go to for their Sunday roasts!

Awesome Sunday lunch at an awesome price! Service and atmosphere were great! We will be back! Make reservations ahead of time if you don't mind hanging at the bar or giant garden while waiting for a table

Love this place. As a new local my Husband and I thoroughly enjoy coming here and now more often.

Fabulous pub but there’s some random weird stuff on the walls and a lot of stuffed animals.

Best pub in town, good garden, good beers, good food, good people

Been in for our first and unfortunately last roast the service was brilliant shame about the meal my roast beef came out with a slab of well over cooked beef that was as tough as boot leather on the top almost covering the veg. A very small amount of gravy.

Went for a roast dinner with 6 other family members. Booked for 3pm and pre ordered ahead. Our food came out at 3.45pm. All of our veg was Luce warm. Not once did we get asked if everything was ok. Had ro ask for dessert menu then to get told sorry but there are no desserts today. You have thought this would have been mentioned when I had booked and pre ordered. Very disappointed

Great pub and lovely food. On Thursday and Saturday they have Thai food. It is amazing. The service is always great, they have a beer garden and car park. Attached is my duck thai curry takeway from there - last Saturday. 10/10.

It's a lovely oldy woldy inside the pub which is lovely, not too many parking spaces, benches / chairs and tables outside is a bit tatty. Staff lovely

A quaint, quirky establishment that embodied the "local pub" vibe. Inside there were several taxidermy features, vegans may not be keen, and friendly patrons sat at the bar making conversation with us and each other while drinking their drinks. Despite the crowd at the bar not needing to be served, the staff were quick to notice us though and we were never left waiting. They were serving Thai food while there, had the Pad Thai whilst my friends had small plates, the quantity to cost ratio was definitely in my favour as I spent less and left full, whilst they fought over the last spring roll. Would recommend giving the pub a go if you enjoy supporting local business.

This is our lunchtime pub, very friendly staff, food is good and a nice choice of beers. Resonable prices.

They did an amazing authentic Thai cuisine on the night we went, and I just want to say that it was amazing :). Coming from a British pub it was such an amazing day and experience

Lovely chill in beer garden of a friendly pub

Good old style pub. Staff welcoming, had Thai meal, very nice

Really friendly owners and staff, we felt well looked after the whole time. Classic pub food, perfect as a stop on our long drive.

Great Sunday lunch, would highly recommend their roast dinners. Roast and mashed potatoes, 6 different veg, Yorkshire pud, meat of your choice and gravy. Delicious food and great service what more could you want!

Beautiful old Pub. Thai food seemed a bit out of character but was cooked to perfection.

Gorgeous staff great atmosphere

For a Sunday lunch with the family the Havelock is a big hit. Traditional pub offering a Sunday roast menu. Great value, generous portions, friendly service from all the team who genuinely care. All plates cleared and supplemented with a good selection of beers and well kept ales.

Great pub with nice vintage interior and lovely garden for a sunny day.

Went to the havelock after a chairboys win and had some lovely Thai food, only served Saturdays and Thursdays. Wonderful food and great atmosphere, go to this pub!

Best place to be! Come is it for yourself 😊

In for Friday lunch, first time since covid. Staff friendly and efficient. Beer as good as ever. Had the steak and kidney pud, absolutely gorgeous. Be back soon. Yeti.

Gorgeous minted lamb shank sunday roast

Lovely,Friendly atmosphere nice pint .Went for Sunday lunch ,Proper food, Real roasties, none of the fake deep fried one's. The veg was cooked to perfection, My wife had the Beef and I had the Chicken,plenty of both,can not find fault .DEFINITELY RECOMMEND. Thanks for a lovely experience.

Friendly welcome, great landlord,staff,. Ales , customers,. And food

More than a 'local' pub. Great family run pub with awesome food and great staff. Could not reccomend it more for a pint after a walk in the Chilterns or a family gathering for a Sunday roast. Try it, you won't be disappointed.

Brilliant, this is an excellent pub with very helpful staff. We went there as a group of 8, popped the money behind the bar and sat back and relaxed. We gave a nod when we were ready for the next round and it was ready to collect each time without fail. Some of us ordered food, it arrived lovely and hot and delicious. This is one of those rare pubs where they take care of you and the banter is good. Highly recommended.

Nice quiet place to drink. Friendly clientele and Landlord.

Been out working Sunday morning just poped in quiet lunchtime ordered beef Sunday roast whit all trims. Food was farst plate was min warming. Got one long carrent. 2small potatoes.

So this is thr first birthday outside of loxkdown. You served a seriously good Sunday lunch. The portion size was out of this world. Then I am not surprised. The food 8 get has always been good Lovely local with great food

Love this place. Friendly staff and great decor

After not visiting here for a few years for a Sunday roast ,we remembered how good it used to be so thought we would visit . The service was very slow ,the roasts were ok but certainly not the high standard of how we remembered . We would of ordered dessert but with almost an hour passing with us looking at the remains of our dinners sat there we all lost our appetite ,we had to ask for the bill otherwise we could of been sat there waiting even longer ..We were all disappointed such a shame

Went with some colleagues to Pub on 5/11/2021 for meal as we thought we wanted to try some where half way between all of us. Staff were very friendly but when it came to food. one of my colleagues asked us all how is the fish fingers in his baguette were burnt on the inside as well as out! The starters that we had were ok but that apart from the drinks was the best part.

This is a gem of a pub! The food is plentiful and they serve a delicious Sunday lunch with a generous portion of meat and vegetables for a very reasonable price. There's also an extensive range of Fullers ales on draught. Full marks from me. 👍

Friendly family run pub. Cosy and efficient service. Nice happy staff. Nice place to go to for a casual drink after work

Good old fashioned pub. Not many left. Fun bar person, great pint of Guinness. 💚

Local pub, if you like drink or two will be fine. Stay away from food, cheap quality burgers, not worth your time and money.

The pub is slightly off the beaten track but it is certainly worth a visit. General Havelock helped quell the Indian Mutiny, and he was a great hero in Victorian Times. Ryan served us and we were happy with the real ale, our service and we were delighted to be able to sit outside, where there was plenty of seating and a covered area as well. The main roast dinners were priced from £9.50 to £12. Chicken, Nut Roast, Pork, Beef and Lamb Shank in mint of a Red wine sauce. Extras were Cauliflower cheese, Yorkshire Puddings and Roast Potatoes. Children’s meals were priced at £4.75 for nuggets or fish fingers, or £5.50 for a roast. The pint or two of Seafarers Ale that I had, slid down a treat. We decided not eat a desert but the apple crumble and custard looked very good.

Great local family pub, staff & management. Well kept beer and good pub grub.

Really unique old fashioned pub, friendly, great range of traditional ales(Fullers), good food and fascinating decoration. Nice sized garden with marquee and comfortable indoor seating. Car park to rear and on street parking.

Had a lovely Sunday lunch with the family, food was amazing and the service was excellent. I would definitely recommend.

Great staff, good beer and nice beer garden

Proper local pub with a good beer selection

Very friendy welcome from the staff and really good food and beers served. A good old proper pub.

Started coming here in my lunch hour with my friend from work it is our once a week treat Tasty pub grub.

Had a lovely lunch, extremely reasonable, very friendly & attentive staff, will be visiting again.

Absolutely love this little pub, it’s just down the road from my workplace so we come here often for lunches and drinks after work. The staff are always so friendly and welcoming and there’s a good atmosphere. The garden is lovely in the summer and definitely worth a visit. Drinks are reasonably priced and their food is great value for money and always really tasty. They currently have salt and pepper chicken in bbq sauce on their specials which I would definitely recommend. Overall a lovely little local pub which I love to visit regularly and would recommend to anyone in the area!

Friendly welcoming staff who provided an efficient lunchtime service. Nice calm atmosphere and food was lovely

A very nice place to drink Marc the landlord is very nice and helpful x

First time I every been there and landlord I believe called Mark welcomed us both explained the app and told us how to set it up. Very friendly pub. People were friendly to landlord was talking to his customers like they were his best mates. Toilets and garden was very clean and tidy glasses were cleared away as soon as staff saw them empty highly recommended for a local community pub well done to the landlord and his staff

OK. Real ale, good food, close to work 😁

Nice old style pub with plenty to look at and a friendly feel

Nice pun with lots of parking and lovely beer garden.

Lovely, best Sunday Lunch Around

Great pub, good selection of beers, relaxed atmosphere, good Sunday lunch👍👍

Really thoroughly impressed with this pub. Seated, ordered via the app. Drinks arrived quickly and food followed soon afterwards. Great value for money. We will definitely be back!!

Lovely country pub ,great food,great garden.

Friendly staff and lovely garden

Staff are very friendly, it's a beautiful place to visit.great covid measures in place, very peaceful and tranquil. Excited to come back.

Marc was very accommodating to our request for a last minute takeaway Sunday roast, even though we were a bit late thinking about it! We had one beef, one chicken and one minted lamb shank (undoubtedly the star of the show). Very much enjoyed by all (including two small children), obviously home cooked, top quality, value for money and delicious. Upon collection, my wife was greeted outside to save her having to leave kids in the car (and for Covid-safe reasons, of course). Would definitely recommend and will return.

Very clean pub. Landlord/Manager very friendly and welcoming. Well kept beer and staff know what products they are selling. Don’t eat in many pubs but food looks good and plenty of people eating. Prices high but governed by Brewery.

We were staying in the area for a few days to visit national trust properties and prior to our trip looked up pubs in the area and the General Havelock sounded like a nice friendly pub that did home cooking and not a chain we were not disappointed we visited twice during our stay and were pleasantly surprised by the lovely warm welcome by the manager Marc. The food was very good and reasonably priced. Would definitely return again if in the area. Thank you Marc and all the team you are doing an excellent job in very difficult circumstances

Had a takeaway roast dinner. Ordered the chicken, pork, lamb and beef and was throughly impressed. Portions size was good, would recommend and will return. Perfect for a “lazy Sunday” when you don’t fancy cooking. Only negative was the lack on Yorkshire pudding however I can understand why it was missing as would of gone soggy. Overall would strongly recommend.

Wonderful place and very friendly staff. Food was scrummy and atmosphere was very chill

Great Sunday takeaway roast, had the beef which came with a beautiful Yorkshire pudding. The gravy was amazing too and lots of it to go round :-)

We love this pub. We're fairly regular customers, and love the friendly staff, food, drink and that they're dog friendly.

Lovely Sunday dinner had the beef out a choice of chicken , pork and lamb shank. Meat nice and tender and veg all very well cooked, nice big Yorkshire on top, would of preferred a couple more roast potatoes rather than mash. For pudding we had sticky toffee sponge and a syrup sponge very basic but very tasty. Good vibe in the pub and very good on sanitizer and social distancing rules.

An amazing Sunday lunch (good quality, decent portion, well priced) with great hospitality. Honestly felt more like being at a family members house than a pub. Shame we live so far away or we’d visit more frequently. Keep up the good work guys.

Great staff all safety measures applied first class

Lovely traditional pub. Felt very safe there under the current regulations. Had the Sunday roast, generous portions and very tasty. Friendly staff. Would recommend a visit.

Has the feel of a country pub in a suburban setting the folk are friendly and the beer excellent.

Great local pub, fully socially distanced, great app for ordering food and drink. Really good service.

Just had a pint Very nice Pleasant garden Great name for a pub When's the renaming
