The Lord Raglan in Havant

A local pub for everyday folk. I always visit for a beer whilst walking in the area. HSB at the pump

Really good proper pub, we didn't eat, just had some beer. Lovely staff and good beer

Great pub lovely and warm with a great atmosphere

What a lovely pub, great location and plenty of live music, Sunday roasts looked amazing, but I only had time for a bowl of roasties.

Very nice pint , will definitely be back !

Beautiful home cooked Sunday Roast Everything spot on and plenty of it. So much so we ended up taking lots home. Cosy with a lovely open fire and amazing attentive staff. Easily up there with the best Emsworth has to offer. Will be back again

Came in for a Mothers Day roast and boy were we impressed! Arrived early so made the most of the seating area around a log fire, made welcome by all staff and a friendly atmosphere. Between us we each opted for Gammon, Beef and chicken. Pleasantly surprised to have been asked how we like our beef cooked - rare was requested and the most tender, delicious beef was delivered. Thickly sliced Gammon melted in the mouth and chicken was tender Breast meat. Portions were huge, perfectly cooked veg, all trimmings with no extra cost served with a smile. An altogether perfect afternoon - with so much choice in Emsworth for Sunday dinner we are glad we opted for the Raglan and will definitely be back!

We had a lovely Mother's day roast today the food was lovely and plenty of it. The staff we very friendly

I'm not a big drinker and don't go to a pub very often,so before today I'd never been in The Lord Raglan in Emsworth before. My daughter and s-I-l booked it for my Mother's Day lunch and we duly turned up. We liked the lively atmosphere when we walked in, and we had our name on a chalkboard on the table. Warm greetings from the staff then drinks came fast after ordering. Dinner was simply a choice of 3 roasts and a vegetarian option, complete with steamed vegetables and loads of trimmings included. I was staggered to be told I could have the beef 3 ways - rare medium or well done. Chicken would be boneless breast meat, and the gammon would be thick sliced and succulent. Between the five of us we had all of them. For those who can't make their minds up, there is even a choice of all three on the one plate! Our meals came quickly, plates laden with lots of well cooked roast potatoes and parsnip, a huge chunk of stuffing, an enormous Yorkshire, carrots, and a swede mash. As if that wasn't enough, 2 large side dishes of broccoli, cauliflower and French beans between 5 of us were brought out as well! We had ordered a portion of extra roast potatoes, not knowing how large the portions would be, which we struggled gallantly with but it beat us. The staff checked on us for drinks a couple of times and were bright and chatty. I can honestly say I was more than pleasantly surprised and very impressed with the food and service. Hand on heart we will be back!

We had a lovely experience here, great food and very welcoming staff. Tommy served us and went out of his way to ensure we were all happy, including the dogs! Thank you for a lovely afternoon. Highly recommended.

Went for a roast on Sunday 3rd March. One of the worst roasts ever! We had 3 other tables within ear shot of ours, and these other 3 tables all left their beef. Tough as old boots and tasteless. Shockingly awful.

We booked for a family meal at the Lord Raglan yesterday lunchtime, there were 12 of us so this was no mean feat. We are not from Emsworth so took pot luck when booking. The team at the Lord Raglan couldn’t have been more helpful if they had tried and were very accommodating to a family of varying different ages and two dogs! The food was good value and really good portions. We would thoroughly recommend to anyone visiting the area.

Went to this lovely pub this afternoon for lunch. Tom swerved us and looked after us. He and the landlady were v kind and friendly, the food was home cooked and lovely and the whole experience was friendly and very welcoming. We had our dogs and the first thing they did was get them some water. Very much recommend this lovely pub and it's staff.

What a great place with staff that couldn't have been more helpful. Nothing was too much trouble and the food was lovely. It's so good to find a place that puts its customers and their comfort first .. thank you.

Lovely afternoon - Tommy was fantastic and welcoming - our family really appreciated the hospitality… and the dogs too! Would recommend.

Over the last year we have returned to the lord raglan following a change of ownership. The positive change in atmosphere is amazing and everybody is so welcoming. Tommy is always accommodating and the garden is a special place in the sunshine but equally on cold days sitting next to the fire is equally as special.

Great place. Came on pizza/open mic night. Great food and entertainment. Staff is wonderful. Highly recommend.

Very welcoming staff and very nice outdoor seating.

Bar staff very helpful and knowledgeable

Being new to the area we have been checking out the local pubs, the Raglan is by far the best fit for us. The first time we went there we had fantastic welcome and were soon laughing and joking with the bar staff and customers. On our next visit we were greeted by name which surprised us and even more surprised at the fact that the barman remembered our drinks. It really is a great pub with a lovely atmosphere, live music on the weekend and lovely people.

Friendly, welcoming bar staff yet to try food but looked good

Had some toasted sandwiches, service good but crowd is rough. Very much a locals pub. Staff ok but locals rule. . I hate to say but avoid in my opinion. Shame

2023 and new excellent management. Recommended

Came here for just a drink with my wife on a Saturday lunchtime. We have been here before in the past and sat in the lovely garden but as it was December we decided just a drink inside would be fine. It's a shame in a way that i feel the need to do this review as it is not a moan about bad food or beer but more our observations. I read the previous reviews about a friendly welcome and while our visit was not unfriendly it was not exactly friendly either. Apart from another table with a family on every other customer was sat at the bar and as a former publican I don't have a problem with that but no staff member acknowledged me trying to get a drink and the customers were definitely not allowing any stranger into their space. I eventually got served and the girl was neither friendly or unfriendly and the beer was good. However once sat at a table to enjoy our drinks we couldn't help but notice how the bar area's particularly near the entrance was just soulless and the language we could here coming from one customer sat at the bar was a bit choice so we decided to leave which was a pity really. You cannot stop customers sitting at the bar you can stop the foul language.

Always great fun in this place, especially Sundays with the live mic As long as the landlady doesn't take a disliking to you you're safe!😄 seriously tho, she's fine usually but can give you grief if she doesn't like you! #onlyhonesty #justsaying

Went for a really nice walk and stopped at the pub for a really delicious Sunday roast. Food was really well cooked and the portion sizes huge. Vegetables were perfect and the service was faultless. Many thanks.

Lovely fire, friendly staff, all looked well - except why no-one in the pub? Ordered 2 x lunches, long wait. Had to ask reason for delay and told, just coming. But when it came - awful. Chips looked as though you would throw straight in the bin, certainly not good enough for a dog. The fish was not much better, more batter than fish. We did try to eat it, but no, too bad. So paid and left. Will not go in this pub again.

Just went for a drink but really nice staff

Had an amazing vegan roast dinner by the fire. So much variety of vegetables and the roasties were incredible! Highly recommend!!

Sunday Lunch - They were booked until 1430, so took that slot. We were given a very friendly welcome by the staff. We ordered the Roast Beef lunch which was very tasty. The meal included beef, Yorkshire pudding, honey roasted parsnips, carrots, swede and roast potatoes. The roast potatoes were spot on, crispy on the outside and floury in the middle. On the side was also cauliflower, green beans and broccoli. We would have still been happy without the side of other veg as there was a lot to eat without it. Plenty of gravy also and horseradish came along without having to ask or wait. We ended up staying and played cards by the fire for the rest of the late afternoon. Such a relaxing afternoon. Will be going back for sure.

Such a lovely unexpected great evening. The live band were joyful, and we felt warmly welcomed. One of those random evenings that will be remembered for a long time. Thank you.

Only stopped in for a couple of drinks very friendly Staff lovely old fashion cosy pub Absolute 5 🌟 🌟

Busy friendly local doing good trade on a Saturday

I reluctantly popped in to the raggy with a friend because he said it had changed so much. I'm so glad I did because it has really been turned around, it used to be dark and dingy with no atmosphere but the new owners have really brought new life and such a welcoming atmosphere. It's now a lovely pub with lovely staff and a really nice relaxed feel. Well done to everyone at the raggy and keep up the fantastic work

Lovely staff..Nice size garden..didn't have food..started a stag day there..very nice pub

Well there was a surprise. Popped in for a cheeky breakfast. The double (2 eggs, 2 bacon, 2 sausages 2 hash brown) with fresh tomatoes, mushrooms and toast. Comes in at £11.95. Bit of a wait for the breakfast to be served. However, it was worth the wait. The food was all hot. The tomatoes were cooked through. The eggs were cooked with care. The sausages are from Treagus the local butcher, so we’re a good quality. Davina served with a pleasant smile and attitude. Overall. A good breakfast. Good value for the quantity of the food used.

A traditional pub with very welcoming staff and a great selection beers. In the words of my husband "a pint of proper coloured well kept bitter". We have visited Emsworth numerous times and sad we only discovered this pub today. We willbe back.

A nice garden to sit in and enjoy the warm evening with cold pint of cider and views of the boats Mill pond

Lovely breakfast and not expensive. Lovely staff and the view in the garden is very picturesque.

Called in for a drink bar person attentive, took are drinks into the garden not a pleasant experience very SCRUFFY, old garden chairs and tables stacked in a corner looking like waiting to be burnt on fire in winter ,certainly won't be back.

Nice pub, friendly staff, large garden with views of the boats, good evening entertainment. Pleasant visit

Top spot for a drink with a view. Good selection of beer and the food looks grand.

Visited over the weekend for some lunch. Pub itself could do with modernising on the inside, but aside from that all else is excellent from the food to the service. Prices were also very reasonable. I would go again without hesitation.

Had breakfast and a couple of pints sat by the fire, staff were very friendly drinks and food 10/10

Popped in on the off-chance to shelter from the rain. They sell GF Peroni! Great food - we had halloumi salads, with a side of cheesy chips - friendly staff, quick service and dog friendly - will return x

I’m gluten-free, so they adapted their chips to include a pizza style cheese, ham and veg topping for me - absolutely yummy. Thank you!

Lovely lunch... simple but well cooked basket meals but pizzas excellent.. excellent service ... thanks!

I can not remember such a warm friendly welcome to a stranger for years! I had pre-booked (telephone) a table for six accompanied by a dog. Having been shown our table, one of the staff promptly produced a handful of biscuits with a water bowl; thoughtful. The food was excellent, with large(ish) portions of unpretentious pub grub. Excellent London Pride and HSB on tap, and the Cornish Orchard’s cider hit the mark! Unfortunately, the persistent rain prevented relaxing in the charming garden overlooking Slipper Pond and the River Ems, the vibrant atmosphere though more than compensated for this. We were allowed to run up a tab, (fortuitous with the final tally!) and were under no pressure to vacate the table. The Lord Raglan public house is unique. No fruit machines flashing away, no piped music drowning conversation. Incredibly polite and amusing staff coupled with genial locals. Try it..!

The hospitality, friendliness and costumes was absolutely fantastic. I told the owners I had come over from Australia for a week to visit the Goodwood Festival of Speed and he gave me a free pint for effort. Had a great laugh and breakfast every morning. I told them I’d be back with my family for more. Great place Emsworth and the people are just brilliant. Keep on rocking guys.

I think this has to be the most friendliest pub i have ever been to! It was a wet and windy afternoon and I was staying locally with my mother and 2 young nieces. We stopped at the Lord Raglan to dry off and the welcome we received could not have been more friendly. From the bar staff to the locals! It has a lovely atmosphere and felt like a 'proper' pub! We enjoyed it so much we returned the next day for a couple of pre dinner drinks. Thank you to Tommy and the other bar staff! Keep doing what you're doing! The world needs more pubs like The Lord Raglan!

What a friendly pub! Was soon as we walked in, the bar staff brought water and biscuits for our dog Chester. Then chatted to us , and made us feel so welcome. Tommy, on bar duty then pizza duty was a delight. Helpful, friendly, we returned the following day because we enjoyed it so much . Thank you everyone at The Lord Ragland.

Popped in for breakfast great food, great value and lovely atmosphere! Would highly recommend

Found this pub on a short Saturday morning walk from Westbourne to Emsworth. After seeing the waterside garden we decided to give the breakfast a go… best breakfast ever! Top quality food, brilliant price and all cooked to perfection✨ Beautiful location and unlimited tea and coffee too! Really was a perfect start to the day. Very dog friendly place and nice cosy atmosphere inside the bar area. Staff were lovely and made us feel very welcome. Looking forward to going back soon😊

Great atmosphere, nice friendly crowd enjoying good music 'what's not to like'!

Nice place to enjoy weather if no raining 🙂

I have visited this pub when I am staying with my son in Emsworth. It is a real community pub with an eclectic mix of customers of all ages. There is often live entertainment especially on Friday evenings. The staff are always friendly and efficient with the new management of 6 months turning the trade around successfully. The pub is open for breakfast between 7am and 11am every day. I have had the breakfast twice and it is well worth it with good quantity, quality and price. There is a good choice of ales that are well maintained. At the rear of the pub is a large south facing garden down to the water with plenty of seating. I am looking forward to returning to The Lord Raglan.

Popped in for Sunday lunch and a pint,what a gem of a pub Clearly more a local than targeting moneyed visitors and all the better for it It had a fire lovely Not sure if the woman that greeted us the landlord or not, either way it was a lovely friendly welcome that made us feel relaxed right away It's a fullers pub and the London pride was served spot on. SUNDAY lunch or basket meals today Had medium sized Beef and small chicken , potatoes were brilliant , both came with Yorkshire and stuffing, veg, today was cauliflower cheese, carrots broccoli,steamed cauliflower and cabbage. Only minor criticism gravy could have been thicker , but I realise that is personal taste. Cost was really reasonable. Wish we could have stayed longer , we will be back !

Great live music from Hardcase 🎤🎶

A lovely traditional breakfast, great service.

Lovely cooked breakfast - good quality items. Very well needed after a night on the schnapps

Lovely traditional English breakfast. Great service.

Had a lovely cooked breakfast there this morning. It was a lucky find, as they said they have only started doing breakfast in the last few weeks. Really good food and price, staff friendly and welcoming,

It has a lovely garden over looking a millpond to sit,eat and drink.

Great pub atmosphere and very lively on a Sunday night. Wonderful live music and friendly staff. Beautiful pub garden

New management, new menu, and still one of the largest gardens in Emsworth. Lovely pub

Ordered beef lasagna, got vegetarian. Beef and ale pie came as chicken and mushroom (no mushroom!), he had dropped the last beef pie on the floor. The pastry was too hard to cut, the peas and chips were cold. The 2 cappucconos had hardly any flavour only one had froth and cups were only three quarters full. Altogether £35 wasted.

Nice events but can get very very busy when got live events on. But good

Lovely people great pint and excellent food

Really. Friendly people and amazing food

Had lunch here with friends on Good Friday. New owners from just before Christmas so I guess this was their first sunny lunch and it was pretty busy. The food is classic pub grub, burgers, lasagne, jacket potatoes etc and all at very reasonable prices.. We'll definitely be back.

What a lovely welcome! Fantastic house wine and a lovely atmosphere. Young couple making a real go of a village pub and smashing it. Can’t wait to chill on a Sunday afternoon by the fire again

I’m hoping we caught them on a bad day but after an hour and a bit wait, our chicken and chips arrived. We were order number 5 on a sunny bank holiday and those with later numbers waited much longer. Our friend’s enquired about their food after an hour and a half and their order had been lost so they cancelled. Food wise, it was a disaster. Afternoon in their sunny garden however, pretty good. It was busy but not that busy, it was certainly quieter than most pubs would be under similar circumstances, I think they just need some more staff and a more reliable ordering system.

Exceptionally friendly staff. Special mention to the Landlady who was our host for food. So attentive and genuine. Not overbearing and went over and above to cater to us. Hearty food that doesnt break the bank. Shall visit again when we are next in the area. The beer garden will no doubt be great in warmer weather. Quite a lovely view from the garden over Emsworth Harbour.

I was meeting a friend at the Lord Raglan, he was running laterso I went in on my own which is not always a nice experience in a village pub. This pub is different though, I was welcomed as I approached the bar and the barman (the viking) started conversation with me and I felt welcome straight away, within a couple of minutes I was completely involved in the chat and banter and felt like I was a regular. A really welcoming pub with a great atmosphere.

Worked here before, now I'm happy to come in as a customer! The new landlord and lady know what they are doing! Great pub!

Fantastic to have this pub up and running once more. After several ridiculous appointments as hosts the new landlords and bar staff are doing an amazing job

We were warmly welcomed from the onset by the landlord. We were visiting the area for the weekend. We had googled local venues with entertainment on a Sunday night. This place had Molly Scott ( featured on the voice UK ) signing. Wasn’t disappointed and the drink was great. Thoroughly recommend a visit. And thanks all 🙏👍🏻

I visited the Raglan as a one off for a quick pint to meet some family. I had a pint of HSB which is my normal tipple, it was such a nice pint and nice atmosphere we decided to stay for the afternoon. A proper pub with well kept beer, I will definitely be returning.

Had a recommendation from a friend and would 100% for back! Service was amazing and the food was great! Awesome cocktails to the menu and it would be more thelan 100%! Thank you Harriet for your fantastic service!!

Visited with friendsNice pub Food very very basic Ordered 4 meals One with chips 3 with mash came out 3 chips one mash By the time it came back our friends had nearly finished theirs,not good Thought it was expensive for what we got Sorry won't be going there again

The pub was full and the staff very welcoming. There was a lovely atmosphere which is thanks to the new management. The food was delicious and service was amazing. They couldn’t do enough. We hadn’t planned to, but was stayed all afternoon.

We had an absolutely amazing time at the Lord Raglan, the food was amazing and the service was fantastic. I'm so pleased that the pub now has owners that are running it properly, it has been hit and miss over the years but the new...

Lovely inviting pub with great food.

Great place for local drinks, band nights are good, new management are very nice and friendly. I just hope no one ruins the place with trouble and the wrong groups.

We booked in for our work christmas meal and loved it!! The staff are delightful, the food was delicious and the atmosphere was cosy and friendly. We loved the big open fire.

Amazing Food and Great Service Last visit date December 2020 Always a pleasure to visit, caters for all ages, young and old. Different entertainment every weekend, great summer BBQ's and great value for money. An amazing family-run pub. One of my favourite stopovers, however since my last visit this has changed ownership. I will post further reviews once the opportunity arises to visit.

Went here 21/10 - great band and great atmosphere considering the NEW management had only been in place a few days!! Hope they manage to keep the place going as it's such a good pub. Really wish them good luck and hopefully, we will be...

Live music tonight. Great beer garden with views over the Mill Pond

Visited this pub on a lovely lunchtime and apart from a few people in the garden it was surprising to see it empty inside. Upon ordering it quickly became apparent why it was empty. Food took almost 40 minutes to arrive and then a 15...

Went here Fri 08/07/22 - Music Night. Great night and good have live music back in the pub - hope it works for the new management - they had a good start. Great atmosphere and fantastic band. Great outdoors part too - good harbour views.

Great pub under new management. Thoroughly enjoyed a live music night on Friday, I understand this will become a regular venue. Oh, and then there’s the view across the pond, lovely place to spend the afternoon, thanks for looking after my phone!

We did not eat but the food looked fantastic, we willbe going back.
