The Inn by The Sea in Gosport

Excellent friendly service all round, carvery was delicious as always with plenty of choices on the vegetable side. Always piping hot too. Been coming here for over 20 years now. Definitely worth a visit x

Always a nice carvery, good selection and the beef is always top notch. Nice little play area out the back for the younger ones. Staff are always friendly and you can have some banter and them not be touchy!

Came for the carvery, was fine but the staff treat their delivery drivers like second class citizens. STAND OVER THERE, ITS READY WHEN ITS READY. Jesus christ

We had our son's 5th birthday here and had a pizza party. Viki H and her team were amazing! Viki was the most amazing party host bringing fun and laughter and enjoyment for all. The whole experience was fantastic and we are so glad we booked our pizza party here. We can't thank you all enough!

Went in for a carvery, price decent paid extra for pigs in blanket , when they came they were pigs in ash !! Roast potatoes were also burnt. Spoke to family members who had visited a few days before who had a great experience with great food so we must have just picked a bad day

Visited Last monday, Girls behind the bar and Front of house were lovely, 10/10 service! Thank you Liv Avina and Tia!

We were staying in Lee on solent, saw this pub very friendly and helpful staff. The food was so tasty and so much of it. Great service. If we go back would go again

Visited for their carvery which was delicious. Service was friendly and efficient. It is popular and busy. Couldn't fault the place.

The food was perfect thankyou to Tyler, Ian and the team. Brilliant service will definitely be recommending and coming back! Xx

I’ve been visiting Stonehouse regularly and it never disappoints. Their freshly made pizza and burgers are absolutely fantastic, always served hot and full of flavour. I have to say, their cheeseburger is probably the best I’ve ever had — juicy, tasty, and perfectly cooked every time. The staff are always friendly, welcoming, and helpful, which makes the whole experience even better. I feel really lucky to have such a great restaurant right in the neighbourhood. Highly recommended if you’re looking for good food and great service!

Had a great carvery with good choice of meat and vegetables at a very good price. Food was well cooked. Friendly helpful staff.

Recommended by a friend as I’m not a local, but the staff are super friendly! I believe the girls name behind the bar was Rhia, her customer service was excellent! I tried the dirty Philly burger & it was so good! Will be returning

Had a beautiful roast carvery as a birthday celebration everything on the carvery deck was cooked to perfection 👍🏻 the young gentleman who we ask for his name Tyler was polite and such a great server ! One of the guests had a burger prepared by Ian and they couldn’t fault it at all ! He’s words absolutely lush ❤️

The staff were so friendly and welcoming. Attentive to us and equally attentive to my dog that we took in there with us. You can sit at the bar tables with dogs but not in the restaurant, which is fine. They brought him a water bowl, and chopped cooked sausages to eat whilst we had our meal and gave him lots of fuss. I would definitely recommend popping in for lunch and if you have a dog companion with you, even more so.

the staff were really lovely and friendly and the food was amazing !! will definitely be coming again !! thankyou :)

The young girl that served us was very nice, I couldn't complain about her at all, but the table was sticky, and the chairs were covered in dust all along the edges. Food was OK. Won't rush back I'm afraid

Viki was very helpful and happy can not fault her and the food was amazing.

We spend quite a bit on food and it wasn’t even nice how do you even mess up chips and all if it was quite gross

I must say I had the honey pork pizza and being a Tuesday 50 per cent off as well .... but with my Pizzas I hit the jackpot...BEST PIZZA IVE EVER HAD and I'm a fussy bu@##r staff very very friendly will definitely be coming back!!! puts the named Pizza houses on our hight streets second best , and i can't believe I'm saying this as well but the Sunday roasts are unbelievable for Sure in Fareham and Gosport and Lee On Solent we have a real gem on our doorstep folks....!

Been going for years now spot on place this April weve had 18th and today a 17th birthday service was brilliant staff were top noth helping us decor for both events was brilliant food and timing was brillant many thanks and happy Easter

lovely service, chloe was very friendly. would defo recommend

Outstanding service, team was excellent. Chloe was really nice. Definitely recommend

Staff here are fantastic. Friendly & helpful. They would go above & beyond. Food was also great.

We had a lovely experience here for my 27th birthday. We had the Bottomless Pizza and Prosecco and it was lovely. Our server Vicky was so funny and welcoming she definitely made the experience 10/10. Definitely would recommend, I loved every minute

It always makes me laugh when they ask you to remark on the service at a carvery pub. You help yourself so if you don't like the service you only have yourself to blame my 🤣🤣 I used to like breakfast here on a Sunday morning.

Have enjoyed the breakfast here a few times now and never been disappointed. The food is delicious and there’s always plenty of everything, service is great too, always friendly and helpful.

As a pub I can imagine it being a nice little place to have a beer or a drink with some friends but the food is awful. Everything from the carvery was overcooked and or bland, the gravy was like water with a few gravy granules sprinkled in and the burger was almost inedible. Will not be dining here again, it's a shame as the waitresses and front of house staff are lovely, attentive and genuinely care. It's clearly a problem in the kitchen, maybe they don't care enough? Not well trained? Not sure, shame really.

Not very crowded when we went for breakfast. Excellent food and as much as we wanted.

Used to come here quite regularly but this was first visit in while I ordered a burger and it was awful the colour of it it looked boiled and it tasted off I took two bites and couldn't continue it, when the sever asked I said it was disgusting and got and oh sorry took the plate and never came for the others so had to leave and get food for myself elsewhere. Another small thing that was disappointing is kid menu stating fish goujons when they are just fish fingers luckily my son loves them but the name is deceiving, after loving this place so much in the past this visit left us extremely dissatisfied and confident we won't be returning.

Try the food breakfast all you can eat. Book a table. Take your pet.

The food is amazing everytime we go there the manager and staff always has a smiles on there faces and they are all very polite and will always ask how we are and make you feel welcome the manager knows mine and my sisters order and takes our drinks to the table why we go and get our food and would highly recommend to any1 x Came for dinner tonight 1/4/25 and the food was amazing as always I had a carvery my partner had pulled pork burger and my daughter and then we had pudding after and Tyler made my sundea with extra love lol and the staff are all lovely and can have a laugh xxx

Nice budget pub restaurant. Food was good quality, pricing was very, very competitive. Drinks, service and venue all good. It was relatively busy, especially for a Tuesday evening. Catered well for adults and children.

We visited for Mothers Day, we all had carvery even our 6 year old. It was very busy, Food was exceptional, plenty of it kind, friendly staff will definitely be back.

We had a mother's day carvery and dessert, easy to order on your phone if like us you found that move convenient than queueing, really enjoyed my carvery and sundae, had the breakfast before and now the carvery and enjoyed both, might even try the pizza sometime 😀

We went for bottomless pizza and upgraded to cocktails, all cocktails made on site, pizza was so good, had a great evening. Vicki looked after us so well, never an empty glass, would definitely recommend

Lovely friendly team. Tracey is super friendly.

Clean, fast service, with good food and good portions

Top place to go for breakfast. All you can eat. Price is great. Great quality. And consistent 👌 MAKE SURE YOU BOOK A TABLE. it's a busy place for good reasons

Had lunch 20/03/25. Excellent service from all the staff. Clean and well organised. Food was hot, well presented and served with a smile. Everything we had was excellent. We will be going back. 3 people, Inc a veggie.

Visited with my parents. The food was wonderful and great value for money, especially the pizza which was much bigger than I had expected. Booking a table was simple and we were seated with ease. The staff were friendly and welcoming. Will come again

We had Breakfast so not only a few people at that time.

Lovely roast carvery been here a few times

We went for Sunday Carvery after a hectic few days. The meat was lovely and tender and all the veg freshly topped up. The staff were friendly too and we really enjoyed our late lunch. Thank you

Nine of us had breakfast, food was good value

Place was very busy when we arrived, which while can be annoying as a customer also shows how popular this place is with everyone. Buffet breakfast was just as yourld expected and enjoyed all i had. Service only lost a star as there really isn't any. You get told to order at the bar, which you do, and that's the last you ever see of anyone.

Alfie provided a 1st class service. Everyone on the table was delighted with the food and we planning our next visit.

Had a lovely carvery. The staff were very helpful and explained how it would all work. Will definitely be back for a pudding.

Bob&Babs would like to say many thanks for a lovely breakfast at our favourite table.

Lovely roast dinner had here, good choice of vegetables, all well cooked and devoured. Great atmosphere and polite staff Recommend

Absolutely fantastic value for money. Amazing breakfast at a great price. Highly recommended.

It was busy in the pub, we had a dog with us and were happy accommodated in the garden. When our carvery was ready we were called. Advied them we were Gluten Free and a gluten free mug if gravy was provided food was lovely and staff were brilliant. Would recommend.

Staff lovely and polite, went above and beyond, food was tasty and the meat was presented well, the veg and potatoes were all fresh and not dry and the food area was very clean. We had a dog with us which wasn’t an issue, the que system for the carvery was brilliant, we will definitely be visiting again.

Really enjoyed the Ultimate Sharer and Hot Porker Pizza. Plenty for 3 to share.

Some staff friendly, senior staff just looked past you.

Visited 24/2/25. Great food and not expensive. Lovely staff and manager. Great service. I would highly recommend it to anyone. I will be going their again soon.

Great food friendly and welcoming staff as always

We visited Sunday lunchtime, 3 adults, 2 children. Crayons and colouring for the kids. Great Carvery, meat, especially the beef was gorgeous. Friendly, happy helpful staff.

Very nice food great staff very friendly alway checking if your alright and that your enjoying your meal would definitely recommend very affordable

The welcome is always friendly. Improve the cauliflower cheese it is always rock hard in this restaurant

Great food, atmosphere and staff. Highly recommended!

Arrived just before 6 and shown to table next to noisy ice cream machine when it was half empty and we could have been sat elsewhere. After 15 minutes no one had been to the table to take any orders for food or drink. Ordered via the scan code on the table, about 6.30 we were eventually told we could go to the carvery. After ordering via the app it still took an extra 20 mins till we got our drinks.

Had a very nice meal with family and friends.

nobody was waiting in line for the carvery which we was seated in view of , but told to wait till we was called to get our food. 15mins later (carvery getting cold and not topped up) we was called to get our food. staff must have been on a tea break as was standing around talking during this time. food quality poor and gammon very fatty. would not visit again

Great self serve breakfast with all the normal ingredients but it can get really busy and sometimes the topping up is behind but can't fault the set up nor the quality . Friendly service and they will do their best to fit you in if turning up without booking but highly advise booking.

Sunday carvery with 3 adults and 2 kids.As we are new to the area we were looking for a venue for lunch with family.We tried Inn by the sea as we had heard good things. Our visit was great from start to finish could not fault the food or service.Also great value.My wife is disabled and found she could access the venue without problems.So you come highly recommended and you have gained another customer

Quality and choice of food plus friendliness of staff.

Service great food lovely. Place needs a refurbishment as very tatty now

Pizza party package. The kids had a wonderful time creating their own pizzas. Vicki's engagement was brilliant with the kids. All had a fun time.

For a few years we'd been put off going to the Inn-by-the-sea for a sunday roast because it's a carvery, and our experiences of carveries elsewhere have been long & slow queues, cool & uninviting veg or empty veg dishes, and messy counters. We gave it a try a couple of weeks ago and found that it was well-organised with tables called to the carvery at their booked time with no queue, a good selection of fresh & hot & tasty veg, and clean counters. Food was good and tasty, portions were adequate plus (in fact for that reason we regretted ordering starters), service was good, staff were happy, friendly & obliging. We visited again this sunday - all very much up to the same standard. We recommend

The staff were so accommodating and fun especially Vikki who was doing her best with a team of super young and new staff. The food was lovely too

A good all you can eat breakfast, doggy friendly 😋

Chloe did an a fantastic job on the breakfast menu ,very satisfied, thank you

Best in Carvery in Gosport, great staff, great food and even better drinks thanks Inn By The Sea🤩

Food was great, enjoyed the carvery. Will definitely be back.

Just come back from having a carvery and I must say the service from the guy working there was exceptional. Very impressed. Thankyou

Fantastic service by Dan and the rest of the crew. Food was good. Will definately be back

Great value food with excellent service.

Lovely carvery at the special offer price of £6. very fresh

Went today for a Sunday roast with my partner... and not only was both roast dinners perfect , meat cooked perfectly vegetables perfect Service and staff polite and respectful.Well done by all at Inn By The Sea will definitely be returning for Sunday Roast again soon ... 10/10. John Earl.

Great value carvery, staff are always really friendly. We really enjoy visiting here. The breakfast is also very good!

Best carvery we have had for a long time

We visit weekly on a Tuesday and the staff at Inn by the Sea are always so friendly, efficient and professional. We visited on 7th Jan for our son's 18th birthday for dinner and everything was fantastic as always. Thank you to a great team for always welcoming us.

Great place to eat when we want to get together for breakfast or main meal. Great value food.

Shame about the Blue Bottles flying around... That's the best thing about the place

Veggie roast carvery, don't be fooled into thinking you get a veggie option, it's just vegs, a disappointment, otherwise the food is lovely

Went in for our first time out Christmas dinner as a family, it was excellent and we all had a great time, the wife is already talking about doing it again. Well done & thanks to all the staff.

Christmas Day, party of 12, absolutely brilliant from start to finish, lovely happy relaxed atmosphere, staff were all cheerful & helpful, our waitress Vicky went the extra mile for the 4 young children in our party, food was fab, the lovely proprietors Tracy & Ian both checked on us, we enjoyed it so much we booked for next year on our way out :0))

We visited on Christmas eve pre booked for a birthday celebration. It was half empty, the area where we were seated was dirty with food on the floor. Carpet and tables were sticky. The carvery was extremely disappointing with watery tasteless vegetables. Roast potatoes were dry and hard. No one came to check on us or clear our plates. It was less than festive and will not be repeated.

Excellent place to enjoy good food and environment

I enjoy the food so much I had my boxing day meal here every year

We booked for a family festive get together. There was 30 of us mix of children and adults. I can honestly say it was a real pleasure, we pre ordered our food which was ideal and this was checked again on the day. The food was lovely, all the staff and service was brilliant and Tracey the manager was an absolute pleasure to deal with from start to finish. Would definitely recommend this to anyone for a get together and we will define back. Thank you!

Brilliant food, friendly staff and good pricing

Great carvery. Staff were awesome too.

Always have a worm welcome from the staff when we walk in,Never have a problem with the meals, the staff are always happy and helpful,the landlord and landlady are wonderful people

Had the most amazing time at inn by the sea yesterday - Staff were incredibly welcoming and Tracey and Vicky couldn’t do enough to insure that we all had a fabulous night out at the Robbie Willams tribute act. (Hope there will be another one) We had a 3 course meal as part of the Christmas menu and can say it was outstanding. Food was hot , delivered well presented and tasted delicious- table of 10 people very happy. Must say best chocolate fudge cake ever 😊 Thank you to all the staff especially Tracey - you have started the Christmas season off for me very well 👌

Absolutely amazing Service by Tracey and the team as always, fantastic breakfast, amazing 3 course meal in the evening and fantastic entertainment by all involved 10/10

Another great meal served by lovely friendly people. Always have a banter with Tracey.

Thankyou to Ian, Dan and Sam. For wonderful service and good food. Very friendly and made our party of 5 very welcome. Thankyou Inn by the sea lovely carvery.

Great carvery. Welcoming staff. Friendly atmosphere will return again soon

Han a lovely meal for my birthday and a good laugh. Thanks to Viki, Liv and Jamie for making my birthday extra special
