The King's Arms in Havant

Never reviewed anywhere before but have to say the food, quality, cleanliness and ale were excellent but Molly was the star!

Lovely food, great interior, lovely staff

Great staff food was very good.

We had a lovely lunch there today

Had a lovely romance dinner there and lovely the evening lovely food 🫂

Cosy pub. Nice local beer and ciders.

A very nice pub with a good atmosphere considering it was a Wednesday night. We ordered the fish and chips and Bang Bang chicken. The food was delicious, first class and very good value for money. The garden was a good size with plenty of seating. I would visit again and have no hesitation in recommending to others.

Lovely pub great staff didnt have any food so can't comment on that but will be back.

Lovely food , great service, very helpful staff

We stopped without having booked and found a lovely table in the garden, no problem, and our two dogs were welcome. We ordered two medium roast dinners (one lamb, one turkey). The food came out very quickly and we were reasonably impressed. Everything tasted good, and we appreciated the large pots of sauce and the large jug of delicious gravy. We did however feel that the amount of meat provided was inadequate - only two slices for a medium meal seems a bit mean.

First visit to the kings arms, food was good as was the service very friendly x will visit again x

Fantastic pub lovely garden with pods to sit in. Super clean. lovely staff,wish we could of made the Tuesday STEAK NIGHT next time in Emsworth we will book a table can't wait.

We would love to thank the fantastic Landlord and staff here our 1st visit, we brought my wife here for her birthday, after a long days walk we had a fantastic Roast which tasted amazing and we had a great dessert too, the staff were welcoming, friendly and nothing to much trouble they even helped out by bringing my wifes surprise birthday cake out, thanks to them all for a fantastic end of day making memories, and as some of us are Stagecoach Bus 700 drivers we will defo be back x

Thank you to Gavin and all the staff for the efforts they all went to when hosting our family members ‘celebration of life’ this weekend. The food was really tasty and plentiful, and you all helped to make it a special day. Highly recommend this lovely, traditional pub, and we will be back!

Staff friendly, beer good, nice garden , food was excellent, mushrooms start, and liver and bacon main, totally faultless, definitely going back

Had lunch here for my Dad's 89th birthday and there was a really pleasant atmosphere. The serving staff were prompt & friendly, the food was nice & hot. I had the nut roast which was delicious 😋. I was really impressed with the overall experience.

We went for Tuesday steak night and the steak was delicious. We didn’t have to wait long for the food and the service was great, very attentive and smiley. We will defo be back for food to our new local.

Always a friendly welcome and lovely food, the gardens are perfect for a drink in the sun.

This is a lovely traditional English pub. We stayed for lunch and were not disappointed. Food & drink was great. Staff were very friendly. I will definitely be returning. Thank you for a lovely afternoon 😍

This place is amazing fast efficiant service, food quality is top notch. We were so pleased and it was a pleasure to eat here 😊 While I'm here how about you doing me a kindness by Googling my full name Colin James Poulter, I record and produce my own original Electronic music, check me out and maybe buy an album or a couple of tracks 👍🏻

Funniest crumble I have ever had rest of the meal OK.

We were recommended to eat here by friends who spoke very highly of the food and we were not disappointed. We arrived half an hour early but were attended to straight away by very friendly and attentive staff. I was very impressed that we were able to order the small Sunday roast lunch, I had lamb and my husband had turkey. All aspects were very well cooked, the potatoes were crispy, the vegetables done to perfection including the cauliflower cheese. We shared dessert of pineapple rum cake with mango sorbet and orange set cream. It was all delicious and our experience was enhanced by Molly our server who took the trouble to ask our names as we chatted to her and remembered them when we left. All in all a perfect lunch on Easter Sunday.

Great pub! Friendly, good food, nice garden

Excellent. Last here a number of years ago. Standards have been maintained! Attended yesterday on 'steak night'. Food expertly cooked, decent portion size, warm plates, friendly and professional service. Definately good value.

Great welcome as a walk in for a light lunch. Manager (I think), carried beers to table. They have tables reserved for drinkers, which is a welcome change from the norm. My chum had prawn sesimi toast which looked and tasted super. I had whitebait. Good beers. Genteel clientele on a Thursday. A refreshingly well run pub.

Family birthday meal with my children & grandchildren. Amazing Sunday lunch, hot, plentiful & great service. Children & gluten intolerant catered for. Always has some lovely specials, save room for a pudding, they are great too.

A welcoming flexible pub that had to deal with my changing the numbers for the Sunday lunch, but all accepted gracefully. The food was above average, I ordered Lambs liver cooked rare, and that is exactly how it came - delicious. The others has the roasts which welcomely came in three sizes - small, medium and large. Adding to this was the HSB beer. Thanks for a good time.

My local. Initially you may consider this a biased review, however, this establishment is more a home than just a pub. The landlord and staff here over the years have always been kind, considerate and caring. Always attentive to their customers and serve amazing food. This is an incredibly friendly pub, with a great set of locals. People who are all dear friends. If you are in the area and looking for a swift drink, then this place will meet your needs; a decent range of drinks with plenty of space, especially during the warmer months, as this pub boasts not 1, but 2 gardens. If you looking for a decent meal, then this place offers it. Great meals from a great chef. Catering for quick dishes, full meals and traditional roasts. If you're looking for a local, where you can join in and spend time with the community, then you can find no better place.

Excellent Sunday Roasts, delicious desserts. We have had Sunday lunch here twice in December and taken visiting friends. I can’t fault the Sunday Roast, it’s as good as my husband’s and he is a really good cook. The desserts are restaurant standard e.g white chocolate crème brûlée, with raspberry mousse and tiny cinnamon doughnuts. The service is efficient and friendly. And for me the ‘snowball Christmas cocktail’ was really fun and marked the start of Christmas celebrations. Thankyou to the team for your friendly welcome and consistent standard.

I was with 10 friends for lunch today and all selected a different choice. Everyone commented that the 3 course lunch was of exceptional value, perfectly cooked, presented and served. There is nowhere better to have this experience in a pub. The Landlord and Staff make sure everyone is pleased and comfortable with their experience.

Best meal out I've had for a long time have recommended it already

Having lived in Emsworth for 30 years I’ve never actually eaten here until tonight. What a find. Great pub, fabulous food, attentive staff and wonderful atmosphere.

Nice spacious areas,friendly staff,lovely seating areas inside and out, beer garden. Lovely decor.

Went for quiz. Great fun, good format. Quiz master and bar staff very friendly and welcoming.

Excellent place really good atmosphere friendly staff and fantastic food I highly recommend the Sunday roast

We went for meal on 7th September I had lasagna and chips the chips were not nice at all what ever the oil they cooked them in was horrible the garlic bread was just a piece of bread squared with bit garlic on the bread was tough boots the lasagna was very hot my partner had scampi and chips and peas the scampi was not hot the peas were hard and the chips was cooked in oil so we was not please with this meal disappointed it was all poor

Barman was welcoming, our first time there sat in a pod in garden lovely sunny day 😎 will go again and try the lovely menu 👍

Eight of us sat down for Sunday lunch, staff were friendly and food arrived quickly. Roast Beef was cooked to perfection! Desserts were on point too and generous portions. Would definitely return.

Lovely spacious garden with 2 sections plus pods for seating. Welcomes dogs. Must be popular as by 1.20 the roast lamb was sold out. Opted for beef which was served slightly pink. Yum. Massive homemade Yorkshire pudding, yum!! Extra gravy and separate cauliflower cheese, lovely. Definitely would eat here again.

Very friendly and meals are very reasonable and yummy

Probably the best food for miles, not our first visit but never had a bad meal, never average either, always excellent, good quality food. Good choice of specials that change every week along with a menu that is completely different from your run of the mill pubs. We had bang bang chicken, grilled trout and pan fried stone bass supreme. Service is always excellent and very welcoming. Highly recommended

Vibrant Gastro pub. Full of lovely people creating a friendly atmosphere. Staff efficient and warm. Great choice of drinks and lovely food.

On a horrible wet "summers" day I had a birthday lunch with my family , 4 of us and my little dog. A really good choice, we all had something different and each meal looked and tasted amazing , I had liver and bacon , it was absolutely delicious, the others had trout, fish and chips and the vegetarian option of moussaka, followed by lemon cheesecake and sticky toffee pudding ( well it was my birthday) .The portions were generous , the food hot and delicious , the service excellent. The weather was awful but this pub has a lovely garden for when the sun does make an appearance. Will definitely be returning.

We visited The Kings Arms on Sunday with 2 of our friends to have a Sunday Roast but was pleasantly surprised with the starter options. We had the starters, 2 Lamb Tacos, Squid, 2 Onion Bharji's and Chicken Wings. They were beautifully presented and tasted amazing. Staff were tentative, happy and friendly. Thank you.

Too hot for a Sunday roast so all of us opted for a mixture of starters. Lamb Tacos, Chicken Wings, calamari, Onion Bhaji. Amazing mixture of flavours. Great service and friendly atmosphere.Well done Gavin the friendly Landlord and Head Chef Marcus! We will be back!

A nice pub, with character. Garden is very big.

Superb meal and very friendly staff. Really didn't know which main course to choose but went for Bang Bang Chicken (recommended by the kitchen) and it was delicious!

Nice attentive lass served us, tasty food

The service was lovely and definitely made the visit worth it. Lovely staff! The food was okay. It was pretty bland and nothing special. Overall, a decent visit.

Lovely staff, looked after our family group really well. Nice food.

Excellent pub, staff friendly. Food good.

Had a really lovely meal here. Staff very helpful and friendly. Not so sure I like dogs wandering around while you're eating??? Also quite noisy. Not a great deal of parking.

What a great find! We had dinner at the King's Arms this evening. The staff were very friendly and the pub obviously has a lot of regulars as it was buzzing by 6pm. The food was really tasty, served quickly and was very good value. They said they hoped we'd visit again. I said we would although I'd need to, and would be happy to, have the same meal again as there was only one vegetarian main. They said just call them beforehand and they'd be very happy to give me some options. I'm glad I mentioned it. We'll definitely go back.

Lovely food , and nice service.

Nice pub, good steaks on Tuesdays. Parking available and a big garden at the back

Wow fantastic lunch. Had battered cod and chips the best I have ever had the fish was succulent and the batter crispy not soggy. Nice atmosphere. Friendly helpful staff. Would highly recommend and will be going back again

Brilliant service staff very polite and friendly food is beautiful and puddings to die for

A great atmosphere in this dog-friendly pub. We felt welcome and looked after from the start. Gluten-free dietary requirements were double-checked, which is so important for an anxiety-free meal (kudos to the chef), and our disabled dog was accommodated without fuss. We both enjoyed our choices from the specials menu. Lots of flavour and ingenuity. We will definitely visit again.

Lovely pub with good grub most definitely made fresh and to order. Service was superb and I like how they had a small area for dining at one end of the pub. i would most definitely recommend the food here. 👌

Good roast had by all and nice liver and bacon too

Nice beer good outdoor area with covering and heaters. Friendly welcome

Great night out with some old friends, really enjoyed the company of special people tonight, must do it again soon!

Christmas meal there last week and it was lovely. Do do visit quite often, never had a problem , the food is usually very good, and staff and the ‘boss’ are great!

Enjoyed....landlord a character 👍

Dined here while staying just outside the village. Lovely small and welcoming pub. Good, honest food cooked to a high standard. I had the beef pie which was full of tender meat and my husband had the belly pork, both cooked and well presented. Good value for money. Very friendly young ladies serving behind the bar. Most welcome pub on a frosty and cold evening in December. Would definitely recommend but would also book a table which can be done online and confirmation email promptly returned.

We have eaten at the Kings Arms twice this month and had a very good experience on both occasions. The first time we enjoyed a beautiful lamb and mint pie with the best crispy chips I have had for a long time. Service was friendly and efficient. The second time we had Masala mushrooms on toast as a starter, this was absolutely delicious. My husband enjoyed the lambs liver and I had to have Scampi so I could have the wonderful chips again! The young lady who served us was lovely and so patient with one of the more elderly members of our party. The Kings Arms is now one of our favourite places to eat in Emsworth. Good food for a sensible price.

Good ambience, nice gales beers. Delicious aroma of food, didn't try any.

Delicious lunch, thank you to you and your team.x

We've recently started going for the pub quiz on a Monday. It's great fun and the staff a very friendly and welcoming. Also being a dog friendly pub is a bonus!

This is a generally nice pub, we had roasts. The deserts were very pricey for small portions, but delicious. Overriding food costs are clearly making an impact.

The food was amazing, all staff very friendly, great atmosphere, for a Wednesday evening.... will be visiting frequently from now on.

Food excellent with helpful range of portion sizes for the roasts

Great food, friendly service. Enjoyed a relaxing time in the garden.

An ok, but not great family dinner was had here. There are a reasonable selection of meals as long as you don't want vegetarian! My biggest issue is that everything is very highly salted! I had to send my first plate back as the fries were completely inedible due to the quantity of salt on them. A replacement was provided but I made sure to specify NO salt at all to be added to them but even so the burger was still very salted and not really enjoyable. If you're the sort of person that likes high blood pressure and super salted food or just tip the salt cellar up without tasting your food then you'll probably like it here. But I'll probably not revisit in a hurry.

Just popped in for drinks after a four and a half mile hike. It was busy, only a bench was available to sit on. Good range of ciders and beers, lots of gins. The food smelt great and the menu looked good.

Great food and friendly staff. Highly recommended.

Incredible food, nice pub atmosphere and delightful staff made lunch amazing! Thank you, I would recommend to anyone

Perfect lunch,best fish and chips around and service was lovely too Planning to go back soon with some more family

My favorite place to drink in town. Good selection of drinks, food is really nice and the beer garden is the best in town. The staff are also super friendly and helpful.

Excellent roast Sunday lunch and the puddings were great too! Very pleasant and attentive staff. Will return 😁

Lovely traditional pub. Great food, atmosphere and superb staff.

Been today for meal. Only go when on hols about 4 times a year. Was served by kev the bar person. Very welcoming and friendly. Had 2 medium Sunday dinners plenty off meat great roast potatoes yorkshires and veg enough for two and Bailey beagle will be back this week.been back today sat in the garden had 2 wraps from the lunch time menu. Excellent felt sorry for the girl behind the bar was on her own and had to do everything. She still managed to smile and give a good service be back when next on hols

Good shaded garden plenty of room

I was in the KA yesterday and there may have been a second person complaining about the price of coke. The one I saw seemed to be quite assertive (perhaps unintentionally and not appreciating how they were coming across) towards the girl serving the customer who appeared be having a go at the young woman for the price of the drinks and continuing to loudly voice their displeasure as they left the bar. Even in a busy bar I was able to hear and therefore take notice of him. Pub staff have to put up with a load of old rubbish from people every day for poor pay. Cut them some slack I say and give them break. In my experience as a reasonably frequent customer of the pub that member of staff is excellent

Superb event! Outstanding music! Well organised! So, so grateful of the cool drinks. Big outdoor grounds with shade. No parking so you need to walk 😆

Wow I've heard that the King's Arms, in Emsworth, is open. Gavin has some new attractions for us this year. He has a Ginger bearded man. A tattooed Chef. A blond bar person who has a smile for everyone. 😁

Nice location we only had a drink bur enjoyed the pub and views

Biggest pub garden in Emsworth with a nice big tent too!! No sea views but lots of outdoor space and friendly staff

Only had a beer with my son...but seems very popular. Can't wait to eat here

Staff were welcoming and lovely. We only had a drink there though.

Have had 2 meals here and I can say it's some of the best pub food I've had in a long time. Would fit perfectly in a top restaurant with it's presentation, heat and freshly prepared taste. Plus on top of that the service by all is impeccable, even down to having check backs. Highly recommended for all.

Great food ,excellent service pleasant staff.

Good all round pub. Beers, food, atmosphere and staff all very good. Always worth a visit.

Great pub with enourmous garden

Vegan roast absolutely delicious, and lots of lovely gravy yummy, service very friendly and relaxing. There was 16 ladies in our hen party and everyone was really pleased with there meal, highly recommended, 😋

Polite, friendly staff and lovely food. Definitely a good place for Sunday roast.

Best beer garden in emsworth. Food is great. Gavin the landlord top fella.

We went here with friends for a Sunday roast, the food and service was brilliant..

Good service , excellent meals with a good choices of food and drinks. Also kept very clean and tidy, plus a very good beer garden, But not forgetting the friendly manager & his staff. Would recommend for sure.

Excellent traditional pub with a good selection of beers. Large garden to the rear. Friendly staff.
