The Old House at Home in Gosport

We went for a local league pool match .

Brilliant little local place. Love to pop in! Never tried any food but decent drink selection, a nice little garden, and it's never too busy or too unfriendly.

Great pub & atmosphere. Brilliant meat raffle on a Friday

Lovely, friendly pub. Landlord and landlady are very welcoming

Nice pub for locals and passers by. Proper pub atmosphere with great staff

Always make you welcome good old fashion type pub

Very traditional pub .. friendly staff and customers

Great pub. Proper old school pub.

this pub stopped serving food about 3 years ago

Visited for the first time today. Lovely Pub, great service from Heather. Will be returning.

A simple traditional pub - two ok real ales, pickled eggs and crisps. Landlord was friendly, and a lively and friendly atmosphere

Visited for a quiet pint and it was a quiet pint. It really looks a little dated when you compare it to some of the local competition. Saying that the staff were polite

Looks like a throwback as you pass and to some extent when you walk in and look around. Landlady was busy serving but looked up and said "I'll be with you in just a minute." Simple thing but rarely practised - my dad would've called it "the mark of a good pub." Landlord and barmaid both came in then and we were served. When the barmaid put my pint of Tribute on the bar she said "I'll just let it settle"; I knew then I wasn't going to get served a short pint and have to ask for it to be topped up. In fact, she poured a measure into a shorts glass for me to save faffing with the pint! These are two tiny things but if you treat your customers right they'll come back. The landlord was prompt to tidy the tables and clean up as soon as people left. Oh - and it was an excellent pint of Tribute, followed deservedly by another. Cheers!

Fantastic friendly traditional well kept little local boozer....very welcoming with amazing tenants and staff ...highly recommended 👌

Great beer, fantastic atmosphere and jolly good old fashioned pub

Good selection of beers and dog friendly.

Clean well maintained place, welcoming staff and very friendly patrons all catering for a more than pleasant experience.

Nice food nice friendly pub restaurant.

Fantastic old school English local pub. Friendly Landlady, Landlord and Hardway regulars. A warm welcome and cold Guinness. What more do you need.

Beautiful roast dinner. 5* would highly recommend 👌

Nice landlord but unfortunately locals made you feel unwelcome....Nice pub but made to feel uneasy amd unwelcome by punters in pub ....xx

Very welcoming pub with great hosts

Excellent pub ran by a great team. Friday meat raffle and great sunday roasts. Always a friendly welcome to all. Would always recommend.

Lovely friendly pub where even a woman on her own wouldn't feel threatened full marks

Lovely pub .friendly atmosphere clean and always happy to see you.

Bit slaughtered lamb on entry but ok once they know u will not trash the place. Tips the bar lady at least a score

Very clean pub, amazing garden and staff very friendly

The pub has a lovely beer garden and inside is good too. Made to feel very welcome by the landlord and staff. Table service was quick and efficient. A very enjoyable evening. Only drinks served at the moment but we were informed starting to serve food sometime in August.

Plenty of tables and well spaced out too. Really good service...... thanks 😊

Lovely atmosphere in old house please visit;

It's the first time I've been there in years... Pleasant place to go Covid19 aware which is good. Couple of Real Ales that's enjoyable.

Brilliant pub lovely staff great land lady and land lord can't make you feel more welcome great at keeping to the social distancing rules great great great 100 stars

Fantastic hosts well run friendly atmosphere and excellently kept beers and lagers.

Nice food, the pub itself is very small.

Yeah its really nice in there now and the staff are very friendly will look forward to going there again

Great atmosphere proper community pub

So happy to see the old house open again and inspiringly rejuvenated, no Juke Box, No TVs, No sport just a busy pub with people engaged and talking, strangers, yes strangers discussing rubbish on great depth, just like a british pub should be. I hope it stays this way.

Very clean, friendly. Food basic but good and hot.

Great little pub. Very reasonably priced homemade pub grub too.

Brilliant hospitality, thank you very much

Had a meal here. Lovely food, and on the table in good time. Would recommend.

Good food lovely host very nice beer garden good luck

This old house now rings with laughter This old house is fresh and bright This old house has had a facelift And the Management are just right I'm gonna say this house is stronger Ain't gonna walk on by no more Cos the staff are fun and friendly And they've opened up the door So do yourself a favour and go and say hello Cos this old house is open for business And it's a great place to go

Reopened under new owner. Knows how to look after ale's. Genial host, calm setting

A very family friendly pub, with a lovely warm welcoming Landlady and friendly helpful staff. Not to menion that the food is amazing, especially the chips. I can't recommend this pub enough

Excellent pub very welcoming landlady

Chips are amazing. Friendly staff and can't do enough for you. Lovely outdoor sitting area. Will go again

well presented, menu looked good,clean and tidy

Great food, great staff and excellent ambiance. Go there you won't be disappointed!

Wow what a place all new land lords Love it the land lady heather nice lady Ok and norms not bad too lol

First time been here since new management. Lively and lovely atmosphere. Glad to see the ladies have had a deep clean.

It's good to see The Old House at Home back open properly with Norm and Heather at the wheel.

Awful service from a rude, obnoxious barmaid who I'm guessing is the landlady. Short changed us and no apology, then short changed us again. Rude, judgemental comments and lack of basic manners from her. We are new to the area and wanted to try out a local pub but had the feeling from the moment we opened the door we weren't welcome. Only positive about this pub is that they let dogs in. Wouldn't choose to go here again even if all the other pubs in gosport closed.

Support your local! After being closed for a year or more the old house is open again and needs your support. Lovely atmosphere and great ale. Large screen tv and dog friendly 🐶🐕😀😃😄

What a great pub. Friendly bar staff , cheap drinks , good selection of bar snacks. It's well worth popping in for a pint if your passing.

Warm stale Guinness served which I threw away

I am new to the area so thought I would check out some of the local pubs with my partner. On arrival we found the pub to be quite empty but looked like a nice pub. Barmaid was friendly and the pool table is always a bonus. So we thought we would stay. The beer looked flat and the coke came out of a 2ltr bottle (the glass of coke ended up costing more than the price of a whole bottle). BUT my main reason for this review is the ladies toilet. Never before have I seen a toilet so disgusting. The worst part is it's not from misuse, it's from the pub not caring or cleaning it properly. I can't even believe it is allowed to happen. It's such a shame. The pub has such potential if they just do the simple things right.

Cool pub. Open evenings and all day weekends. Quite bar with a pool table. Garden in summer. Good service.

Great to see Old House back open again good beer aa usual and friendly atmosphere

Very friendly, helpful staff coupled with great food served in a lovely old building. We had a warm welcome as we walked in and chose a table near the fire. The fairy lights against the dark oak panelling are a nice effect and brightens the place up (as to the flowers on the tables and windowsills). The food is obviously home-made, so took a little whilecoming but was well worth the wait. We can highly recommend the chicken, ham and leek pie and the chocolate brownie sundae to finish the meal was amazing! Would highly recommend anyone to visit, and we will certainly be coming back next time we’re down in Portsmouth. Thanks

Just like our local at home. Friendly people at the pub where the beer is cold and refreshing. For the short while we were in Gosport, we were adopted by the patrons of this establishment offering suggestions and recommendations of what to do and see. Didn't eat here but the food serving looked and sounded good.

Four of us went here on Thursday 26th October and initially we were unsure as the place was empty at 8.15. However, the Tribute beer and the steak and ale pie is terrific! 😀 The portions are substantial and well cooked with the suet pastry being delicious. Two of us had the pie and we were both pleased with our choice. The other two had lasagne and egg and chips, both generous portions, tasty and good value. Will definitely be returning.

Proper pub and the food is very good 😀 🍺

Six of us went here for a meal and although we have always had really good meals here I have to say we all said it wasn't great this time. The chips were soggy and tasted of grease like they had been reheated. You could barely hear yourself talk in there due to load mouth locals at the bar. We won't be going back there in a hurry.

Called in for Saturday evening meal and a drink. Bar staff extremely friendly, food was absolutely excellent, and the beer good. Had a good chat with the friendly locals. Was made to feel very at home. Will definitely be calling in here for another meal without a doubt. Highly recommend this pub for a visit. You must try it.

Friendly helpful staff with great food, good size portions and good prices. Great place to go for a drink and a chat. No juke box/TV/darts etc. Family friendly.

Good basic food and portions are huge. Good atmosphere too.

Great pub best roast in Gosport

Typical Corner Street pub that serves lovely meals,no complaints

Beers good. Food value for money . bar staff very polite

Nice airy pub. Very dog friendly. Don't be put off by double yellow lines, you can park anywhere. By laws prohibit fines!

Donde puede conseguir buena comida a un precio muy razonable, la antigua casa en casa que es donde. Gran cena de asado 8 libras. 50. Estado aquí tres Domingos seguidos, y recibimos una cálida bienvenida cada vez.

Este parece ser cada vez un lugar frecuentado nuestro almuerzo de domingo. Nos han bajado un par de veces girando para un almuerzo tarde unos 2 30 y han acabado de los asados. Llegar allí un poco antes. Llegamos allí unos 12. 30 ayer. Había un flujo constante de clientes. Opción de ternera, cordero, cerdo o pavo. Inicio verduras cocinadas y encantador esponjosas roasties. Espacio para dos de nosotros y yo siempre tome un perrito bolsa. Todos caliente y sabrosa. Sin duda lo recomiendo. Su entorno no, pero el personal es amable, los baños están limpios y el servicio bueno.

I love going here and am a recent convert. The rear garden is small but perfectly formed and is great if you like the sun. The burgers are very good at £9 odd, though cheaper are available and they also do two dishes for £14 though I have not had these. Lovely clean loos for a pub, nice staff, great food. What more could we want. Keep it up !

I have reviewed before, I didn't complain about the quality of the food as it's always good. My point was that a lot of dishes mainly the roasts had always sold out. Went in this week for a roast and saw that they now have a Sunday menu with only selected meals on it. What a result! Everything available, delicious roast dinner for me and a scrummy burger for my hubby. £7.95 for each meal, absolute bargain.

We have been to this pub on numerous occasions now and the food has been good and of generous portions at good valued prices.

A friend and I work close to the old house and I have to say we are addicted to our lunches. Every week we say that we are only eating out once a week but the food is so good and the staff are so friendly at the old house we just can't help ourselves and end up eating out most days.Food is reasonably priced and portions are huge! Definately makes our working day feel shorter.

Recently visited here with friends for a bite to eat late one Saturday afternoon. Was greeted with a very warm welcome by the staff. Choices on menu was great and we all finally opted for a burger each. Got told might be a slight delay due to amount of customers in. Honest from start which was good. Food was lovely, everyone enjoyed their burgers and they looked good! Not thrown together like some places. Will defo go back!!

The food was excellent, big portions small price, the burgers were amazing. The staff were brilliant with the children, we will back very soon

not been here for a while and surprised to see one or two low reviews.... this time there was 6 of us all friends..2 of which hadn't been here before. we ordered a lovely Sunday lunch, choice of lamb, beef, pork or turkey at £7.95!... we had amazing big yorkies and an abundance of vegetables, followed by homemade sticky toffee, crumble puds and sundaes. i have to say not one of us was unhappy with anything! great food, friendly chatty staff who make you feel extremely welcome, no matter how busy it is someone will always take the time to see if everything is ok .. if you need any sauces, extra gravy etc. personally i couldn't recommend a better Sunday Roast anywhere!

After reading about this place we tried the food and it was lovely. As always my partner had steak and ale pie (creature of habit) i had the salad both meals were lovely the steak and ale pie was the best he had eaten in a pub. The salad was nice and fresh. Would highly recommend this pub.

Have visited this establishment several times & each time the staff are friendly & polite and the food is great . If you like good home cooked food in a lovely setting & great value for money. This us the placeJuleskir

I had the suet crust pie and to be quite honest I can see why it's empty. I have never had a more disgusting meal offered and charged 8 pounds fifty to eat that pile of crap in fact I left it. They served chips that were soft and greasy the suet crust pie was in fact covered with a bisto type gravy/sauce that was salty and resembled play dough and way to salty.The chips were placed on the plate with the care of an orangutan in fact I ate the cold peas well you can't mess them up well can you???????I believe the place needs a good clean like clean off the weeks of grime from the table we was sitting at, and may I say less chatting more work for your wage would help and a little attention to detail.By the way I do know about catering as ex royal navy and more maybe call in someone who knowsThankyou derek

Brilliant food great sunday roast excellent service and there home made burgers are too die for i definitely recommend *****

Me and my wife and family have eaten here on a number of occasions and always had a great experience the food is second to none and always had very prompt service and the staff are always very pleasent and nothing is to much trouble and have recomended to friends on a number of ocassions 5 stars

Great night made to feel very welcome meals are great value for money. Lovely location on this side of portsmouth harbour friendly local pub highly recommed

Always get served a lovely roast plenty of veg and great lamb! Tried others around gosport & Fareham but always come back here. Really greavalue for money

Went with a party of 12 including 3 children under 4. Food was exceptional 4 adults had roast dinner and excellent value for the money vegetables were pipping hot, if there was one criticism the gravy could be a touch thicker. 3 other adults had the French burger and these were superb, one other had a mixed grill to die for one of the best I have seen and cooked to perfection. One other had haddock, new potatoes and salad and the piece of fish was large overal I oulet recommend this for a sundaylunch, staff very pleasant we booked to ensure they new how many were coming. I believe the other reviews are slightly unfair as food is excellent, good value for money and will go back again

Came here after looking on TripAdvisor for good pub food in Gosport. Totally lived up to its 5star, amazing size portion, we choose the messy burger £8 and ham egg and chips £8 both meals fully enjoyed, staff cheerful and helpful, will be using again for a good pub lunch.

Love the food here but the last 3 Sunday's we have gone in for a roast and they have none left. They lost a table of 4 3 times because of this. Why? Cook extra and do bubble and squeak the next day, but not to have the basics is madness. They do lovely good if you can get it.

I have only started eating here again in the last 12 months or so as there was a time where the menu and quality of the food really dropped but I am really pleased to say that owners/management listened to feedback and completely turned it around. The food is delicious,home cooked and amazing value for money. There were 10 of us tonight and every single one of us enjoyed our meals. 10 out of 10! It was my son's birthday and he has recently joined the Navy and said he will be bringing the rest of his class down for one of the epic burgers they serve! Thanks for a lovely evening.

Popped in for Sunday lunch, table was booked in advance. Delicious with tasty veg, tender beef & plenty of it. Nice gravy, potatoes & Yorkshires. 2 things were a bit disappointing .1. Only beef selection left even though table was booked in advanced & it was only 2.30 pm.2. Price of bottle of white wine £19......ouch !

Really delighted that we decided to give the food in this pub a try.The staff were very friendly and helpful and smiles aplenty. Felt very welcome and relaxing. The portion sizes were enormous and I have to admit that I was beaten by the chips! I wholly recommend you try this pub out for food, it's tasty, wholesome and extremely good value. We will certainly be going again, but if I am intending to have the mixed grill, there'll be no need for a starter! Lesson learnt...

Have visited this public house on a couple of occasions friendly staff and amazing pub grub food. Good portion sizes value for money will definately be returning. Well worth a visit

We have visited this pub several times for food and have always been very impressed. The new barmaid (Claire) and the chef (another Claire) are always bubbly and friendly which helps us to relax after a long day at work. The menu is full and varied and the food is of a good quality, is very well presented and there is plenty of it. I would definitely recommend this pub for food but would advise booking if you plan to go on a Sunday. We were disappointed to be turned away one Sunday as they were so busy, but it certainly hasn't stopped us going since.

This is a small friendly pub with really good food and great service. We had Sunday lunch for six and between us had three different meats, beef,pork and lamb. All three meats were generous and served with lovely, fresh, seasonal vegetables and Yorkshire pud.. There was the offer of both more veg and gravy should we require it. We were served and looked after by Karen and Ashley who were both a credit to the pub. I didn't catch the name of the lady chef but she did a brilliant job. We will definitely return.

Visited today with family members.Two had the Lamb Roast. A large meal, properly home cooked.Two had the stuffed chicken from the specials board. 2 clean plates and 2 happy faces.One had the mixed grill. How one person can eat that much amazes me!OK it's not Michelin Star but it is bloody good and ridiculously good value.Will we be back? you betcha!

After being away for a long time, I didn't know that the old house served food. ....... well very pleasant surprise I've been to many other establishments locally and to be fair the staff here were warm and friendly. Very accommodating. The food was brilliant cooked to perfection. I had lamb shank with mashed potatoes. My husband had a "burger " wow what a recipe that it wonderful food and people will certainly be returning and recommending

nice to see the return of the famous black stack on the specials board!! this has to be one of the best meals they do!. a new burger menu too...wow. we enjoyed another great family meal out and left feeling full and very satisfied, great food, great service, great pub!

Lovely pub with equally lovely staff. We came in for a light lunch of sandwiches which were fantastic. They come with chips and salad too...we were very full and satisfied. The atmosphere is nice the staff are very friendly and helpful. Dogs are also welcome and they even have dog treats!... very welcoming.will be sure to return.
