The RobinHood Inn in East Hampshire

I booked a table in the restaurant for a special occasion. On arrival we were told that there was a half hour wait for food. We were fine with this as we understand it was a busy time with it being the fireworks night locally. What we were not prepared for was the unfortunate attitude of the supervisor when we complained to her about it being an excessive wait of one and a half hours for the food. She did not care at all. She was smirking . The food was very nice. But the supervisor did not care that the lateness of the food caused us to miss the fireworks night locally. We thought 2 hours prior to it was adequate enough. Had we been told there was over an hour to wait for food we would have cancelled our booking. I am sure supervisor will not care but we will not be returning. We can overlook food being late but will not overlook the poor attitude of this supervisor that clearly did not give a hoot and actually smirked when we told her we had missed the fireworks.

Went here on a Sunday for a roast. It was perfect. Plenty of roast potatoes and veg and the food was hot. Definitely going back again.

Got to admit was pleasantly surprised food was really good service excellent will 100% return keep up the great work!!

Amazing Sunday roast, staff attentive and friendly.

We arrived between lunch and dinner so food options were very limited. Service was excellent and food was okay. Prices were typical for the area.

Only stopped off for a drink but service was good and staff really friendly. Will be back.

Really enjoyed our impromptu stop on our way back home. Popped in for a drink and some crisps with the family and ended up staying for dinner! Nice atmosphere, good beer and great food - would recommend.

Booked this for a stopover after a family party, wasn’t expecting much but pleasantly surprised! We had a great meal in the restaurant and they had live music too. As promised the music finished at 10.30pm not to annoy residents and every body were pleasant and willing to help. The only minor negative was the bed was not overly comfortable but was more than made up for by the rest of the experience

Fab ambience and food very busy Sunday lunch times .

Stopped here for 5 nights for work. Rooms cosy and clean. IPad screen larger than the tv in the room tho. Staff very friendly and a great laugh. Food in bar/restaurant was excellent and keenly priced. Good beers. Ample car parking to rear. All set in a nice quiet village.

Had a long August Bank Holiday weekend booked here which we booked in April only to be emailed a weekend before and told the room had been double booked! Beware if you are thinking of booking here or are already booked in.

We were a group of 5 ladies. We'd booked a table for dinner on Monday 5th August 2024. The food was excellent. 4 of us had steak, it was delicious and tender, the 5th had a veggie burger, also very good. The waitress was cheerful, efficient and attentive. The food was well presented and hot. Desserts were also excellent. Prices were competitive. It was quiet as it was a Monday evening but we couldn't fault anything. We will definitely return!

Eat in. Quiet for a Saturday but food was excellent.

Family visit and we were quite impressed. The service was very good, the food was generous and well presented and the drinks were excellent value for money

Wonderful food. Service exemplary. I have had an operation and am unable to use one of my arms. The chef Vicky Burgess cut my dinner up for me and everyone was so kind and helpful. From Stephen the barman and Will who waited our table. There was music in tonight Ricky Zalez is amazing. Awesome voice and performer. Could listen to him all the time.

A stop on the way home for a cold drink. Plenty tables outdoor.

Went with friends for a meal at this lovely pub. We were surprised at how quiet it was for a Saturday night, but apparently, it gets very busy on Friday evenings & and Sundays. The meals are great & very plentiful. In fact, my husband & I decided to share a starter the next time we visit. Which we will. The staff were attentive without being too obvious & and there when we needed drink refills. We all agreed the food was great. Between us, we had main courses of steamed meat pudding, steak, gammon, curry & vegetable curry. So, a good selection. A great experience & one we will use again

Great service and great food, definitely recommend

What a wonderful welcome from everyone at the robin hood. Great rooms and perfect hospitality 🙂

We recently held a wake at The Robin Hood Inn. The food was excellent with a fantastic selection of dishes and so much of it! Tea and coffee were also provided at a table to help yourself. The staff were empathetic and attentive. The choice of music played was spot on and helped to create exactly the relaxed atmosphere we’d hoped for. They wanted everything to be perfect for us. We were so pleased to have chosen this venue. It was also conventionally close to The Oaks crematorium at Havant. As an observation, the food being served to other diners looked amazing! We shall be returning to sample it!

Food abysmal. Thick suet pud, tasted awful, probably reheated badly in a microwave, surrounding poor quality meat, a few carrots and broccoli, lots of potatoes. Pub guy asked how the meal was and when told he just said 'sorry about that'. Nobody else to complain to. Main course for two plus soft drinks cost £41. Don't go there, plenty of better pubs not far away.

My friend and I had a lovely roast dinner here on Sunday. Dog friendly in the bar area and the staff were welcoming and friendly. I would give 10 stars for the sticky toffee pudding with custard!!! Words cannot express how good it was. I'll be back even if it's just for that 🤣 Thank you.

The staff couldn't be more accomodating or friendly, from being frantic to book on the phone to the man who waited on us! They were so good when we were left put out by another local pub whose online booking system failed and left our party of 10 hungry on a Sunday afternoon. We all had a roast and not one plate had anything left because it was so delicious, we go out for Sunday roast a lot and this was amazing! Thanks so much!

Chegou aqui para um almoço não planejado, foi um serviço rápido,

We had a great lunch today and I only write reviews when the service has been good. Well today its been great. Thank you to Brook and Levi (hope that is your name, had to remember what Brook said!). We were asked what drinks we wanted within minutes of sitting down. Our food order was taken and we were warned that there was a big table that had just ordered so it would be a little while before we got our food. Levi checked on us and said it wouldn't be too much longer and asked us if we would like more drinks. Perfect service, thank you so much. What you guys didn't know is that two of us work closely with hospitality and can be really critical. No faults today. Food good and I would recommend a visit to anyone in the area.

Had a great lunch here today. The service from Brook and Levi was excellent. It made our day. They did everything right and I am so impressed. Thank you both. Food was good too thanks to the chef. Well done team.

Not been here before and we were looking for somewhere for lunch. Managed to get a table, and then we’re just left, staff chatting, my wife had to get up and go and get menus, (and it wasn’t busy) the napkin was stuck to the table as the table was dirty from the previously customer/s. Finally we were able to order drinks and food. Food was very good, when it turned up the poor girl had no idea which plate was who’s and she appeared terrified when we asked, which was which…. Bless her. Certainly the food was the high point to be fair. Would go back for the food. Roasts here clearly very good. Easy to access, parking and plenty of seating inside and some outside. This could have so easily have been 5 stars, it’s just being let down by what I believe is attention to detail, and on our visit the dirty table. (An easy fix, but shouldn’t happen) We didn’t stay so can’t comment on the rooms.

The Robin Hood hosted my mother-in-law's wake. They did a fantastic job looking after our family and friends. Service was first class and all the staff were wonderful. My wife and I stayed in the very nice accommodation upstairs. Highly recommend.

Amazing food and service will return for Sunday lunch looks amazing 👏

Food is good and staff friendly.

This was a lunch for 14 hungry Walkers following a 5 mile walk locally. The Pub were efficient in their service and the food was very good and enjoyed by all. Thank you Robin Hood. Recommended Lunch Stop. Liphook U3A Walking Group.

We stayed here ahead of the great south run and on arrival were pleased as it is set in a lovely village. When getting into the room it was dirty and cold. We enquired about getting the heating switched on and no one was able to help us. We were told “it tends to warm up in the evening” it didn’t. There were hair grips on the floor from a previous occupant and dirt along the windowsills, including dead spiders and flies.

We visited this Inn for lunch today (5th) and had lovely meals. The sticky toffee pudding was outstanding. Served by Scarlet. Who was very friendly and helpful. The food was fairly priced and very good. With no rush to get us out. Will certainly call again.

Booked this hotel online and had to change the dates. Emailed them and then spoke to the manager on the phone who sounded very helpful and assured me there was no problem to change the date. So I booked 4 nights for 20th September. On arrival I was told we did not have a booking, although they did find my email and I had information that would not have been known to me other than having had a conversation. They were most unhelpful and did not try to find alternative accommodation, despite it being evening and we were strangers to the area. All they offered was a cup of coffee! So beware when booking with this establishment. Luckily we ended up in a far better place but only after a stressful couple of hours, which as we are in our 70s and at the end of a long drive from the north , we really did not need.

Worst food We have ever had. I was embarrassed as we took friends and the food was inedible and not what we expected. The bar lady was surly to say the least

Stayed here a few times now and what can I say? Lovely village, friendly people, elegant and stylish rooms, comfy beds, beautiful food, amazing staff that go above and beyond and the owners Lee and Michelle are fantastic hosts, they make you really feel at home. I will always stay here whenever I am in the Portsmouth area. And also the biggest plus is the bar selection. Brilliant thanks guys!! Vinni May

Staff were very pleasant. The food was ok. I guess as it is in such a lovely area I was expecting something outstanding. Just seemed very expensive for a basic roast with carrots, cabbage and peas. The cauliflower cheese had to be paid for separately for £3.95 and the roasts started at £12.95, I think we had to pay more for the beef. There was nothing wrong with our dinner,but in my opinion, expensive for what it was. I would go back as maybe it was an off day.

Found ourselves in Rowlands Castle again so stopped by for lunch - delicious gluten free chicken, leek & ham pie on the specials board which we both opted for. Arrived quickly, hot and with mashed potatoes and fresh vegetables. Didn't need a pudding though would have loved one. Discovered from their website there is 25% off on Mondays and Tuesdays (if you quote their code) so we popped over to treat ourselves. I had the steak & kidney pudding with new potatoes and fresh vegetables which unfortunately was barely warm - I drew this to the attention of our waitress who remedied the issue without question and a fresh meal arrived piping hot - it was absolutely delicious My husband had lasagne with chips and salad garnish and thoroughly enjoyed it. Again we were both too full to try a dessert - good excuse to return for a further visit.

Visited here for a family birthday meal Sunday lunch time . I am coeliac and I was disappointed at the lack of choice that was available. This pub needs to get with the times . We go out to eat quite a lot and a lot of menus have everything marked up with GF on things I can have. Some places even have a separate GF menu. I had a roast and provided my own gravy. All of are food was very nice and the staff were lovely. Service was good .won't return tho.

I came here for one night and what a night it was, the bed was very comfy the room so clean fresh and shiny. The boss lee was incredibly friendly and was very welcoming. I would go there again and again. And if that was not enough the English breakfast was freshly cooked and hot. If you wanna place to stay then you need to try this place. Thank you

Had a really lovely evening. The food was very well presented, I had salmon for main course absolutely delicious and my husband had sirloin steak which was cooked to perfection and the best he had tasted. The staff were excellent especially as it was a...

Having lived locally for many years this was the first time I'd visited the Robin Hood. We enjoyed a delicious Sunday lunch with very quick service. Ample roast roast, Yorkshire pudding and fresh vegetables plus cauliflower cheese. We opted for the fruit crumble and custard for pudding - the best I've ever tasted - I'm guessing home made and never had one as good. We will return.

Nice lunch the other day. Menu has a wide choice. The staff and service was really good. Reasonable price. Food was lovely. I’d definitely recommend a visit.

Having been to this pub many times over the years for food and drinks I’ve always loved it. It was always such a lovely village pub to visit with friends and so different to the pub next door which attracts a ‘different’ clientele. Sadly over...

We enjoyed our meal here a lot. Service was quite slow but it was a really busy night so really not their fault! My salmon was delicious and served hot with plenty of vegetables. Everyone else I went with enjoyed their food too. I'd definitely...

Fantastic beer-battered fish and chips, well presented and really tasty. 2 for 1 offer on Fridays in November is amazing value and the conservatory restaurant is beautiful.

Absolutely appalling- don’t bother going to this bar. Don’t want to take your order even though you’re happy to order a full meal. Disgraceful.....

Probably the best Pub Roast I’ve had in many years. Some pubs really struggle to produce a decent roast, happily the Robin Hood doesn’t struggle, they are absolute masters. The beef was cooked to perfection, and plenty of it, potatoes, yorkshires and veg were also...

The new chef was great in helping us choose a meal with no gluten and the Lamb Shanks we had were delicious. Would certainly recommend themTables were well spaced and staff served us wearing masks. Service was quick, efficient and very friendly. We felt safe and comfortable

We thought we'd try somewhere different for an Eat Out to Help Out evening....wished we hadn't. We were greeted and taken to a table that was sticky! We then ordered our starter and main course. We waited 25mins for the food to come out and the starter appeared with the main courses. The main courses were put infront of us, with no cutlery or offer of sauces. I had to go and find a member of staff to ask for this. No one checked our meals were ok while we were eating. On finishing, no one acknowledged us and we waited 25mins before I had to ask for our plates to be cleared away and if we could order a desert.All of the above is a shame as the food was really nice. They really let themselves down. I know they were busy but if they couldn't cope with the volume then they shouldn't have booked all of the tables.

The food was excellent. However the service was terrible. We sat for 10 minutes waiting for menus and our drinks order to be taken. Other people were coming in after us and were seated and given menus straight away. We would not go back.

Lovely menu and great service. Served in good time and nice ambiance. Very well managed with sanitiser, distancing etc. Highly recommend.

Every year we visit the UK and have a get together with family and friends at The Robin Hood. Good beer, good friends, great pub. Nice outdoor area for a smoke. Ladies loo is well kept. The staff is friendly. Nice atmosphere at night, but nice for lunch and a pint too. Parking can be a bit of a pain, but knowing where the back entrance is will help with that. Looking forward to spending time at The Robin Hood on our 2020 trip which was supposed to start May 21, but is pushed back to an undetermined date in the fall due to COVID.

We went here for a Sunday Roast - and WOW it was amazing. The staff were very friendly and the food was amazing. Great choice, certainly a great amount of food and it tasted wonderful. Really good value for money. I will definitely be returning.

I can’t help but feel that the very recent ‘disgusting’ review might have nefarious motives as my experience today couldn’t have been further from their awful account of the Robin Hood. New to the area and first time here! Friendly welcome with a warm and nicely decorated bar area (that allows dogs!) and a much fancier looking restaurant space. Fairly busy in the bar when we arrived, managed a nice high table in the corner. The woman behind the bar was incredibly kind (to my dog, which is always a winner) and helpful. We had two roast dinners for £25 and we couldn’t finish everything because the portions were very generous! Nice meat, loads of vegetables, great Yorkshire puddings and fluffy roast potatoes. Every member of staff we encountered was friendly and helpful. We will be back soon! Highly recommend this place :)

This place is I Disgusting saw a rat coming from the kitchen I was so ill after eating here Staff and landlady are so rude Really expensive Please don’t waste your money hereIt’s dirty it smells of fat and urine Please Avoid at all costs

Disappointed by our christmas meal on Saturday evening.I had the beef and it was so dry it was not enjoyable.I think one meal out of 5 was acceptable.Staff very friendly but food was not good.

Really great place to stay , friendly staff , amazing food , rooms clean and very well looked after , could not fault will definitely stay again 5*****

Excellent variety from the pubs blackboard.Food was tasty and sensibly priced.One member of staff-a woman probably in her 40s,looked totally out of place,in as much as she had clearly gone to great lengths to perfect a really off putting 'hard/aggressive' look,complete with long straightened and no doubt extended blond hair-certainly not a 'Rowlands Castle ' look-much more a Portsmouth appearance!

I booked a room here at fairly short notice. What a gem. The room is amazing. Went down to the restaurant for evening meal and again all was perfect. Restaurant was quite busy but no.major delays.Breakfast was superb. I asked for my eggs a particular way and they were cooked perfectly. All staff, especially the lady that looked after me at breakfast were an absolute credit to the establishment. It will certainly be on my returns list.

Enjoyed two night stay.Great cooked breakfast with good quality ingredients and lovely evening bar meal. Friendly staff and clean comfortable room.

Not cheap or expensive but it would have been great to have tablecloths as the table surface was very sticky.

Years since we have been to Rowlands Castle so drove through looking for somewhere to eat. We stopped at The Robin Hoods Inn and had an amazing meal. The lasagne was the best I'd had in ages. The steak and ale pie looked delicious too. The staff were lovely and the dining area was beautiful. Will definitely go back when we are in the area. A 10/10 for great food, lovely staff, and a brilliant pub.

Ample parking at rear. Pleasant outside sitting area overlooking green. Dog friendly (water and treats offered unsolicited). Pleasant ‘user friendly’ staff. Easy level entry at front, but one step up from rear car park and to toilets. Restaurant tables attractively laid with sparkling glasses although tables quite close together. Service a little slow but acceptable as we were not in a hurry. Food very good - generous portions presented in an ‘uncomplicated non-fussy’ manner. Home made lasagne generous with meaty filling served in individual dish with large side salad of mixed leaves. Warm beetroot and feta cheese salad with garlic bread.

Our family visited and had a wonderful experience.We had delicious starters Moules Mariner,spicy chicken wings and baked Camembert.To follow the new chef created an exceptional monk fish dish with asparagus and other delicious vegetables,the cauliflower cheese was particularly impressive.All the roasts were lovely with crispy potatoes.Dave and the staff created a delightful time for us all.We will be back soon.p.s. desserts were a plus too,chocolate fondant!!

Had a great weekend here. We booked in advance and stayed overnight in one of their newly refurbished rooms. Our room was quite small but clean and pleasant. We had an evening meal and stayed in the bar drinking until closing time. Breakfast was included in the price and we had a fabulous full English. Everything for us was great. Great staff and manager, Dave. We’ll be going again next year!

It's our third time staying at the Robin Hood. Every time has been very enjoyable, clean and comfortable rooms,food lovely, staff lovely especially Dave. Dave is a real character that likes to interact with his guests. See you next year, Sue

Been for Sunday lunch at this pub three times. First and second time I was very impressed lovely staff and very nice food and not over priced. However my third visit was appalling, the staff were clearly wanting to go home and the food was awful. My starter was lovely but a bit slow. Had the beef roast, very very tough because of this I didn’t eat it. No one came over to ask how the meal was so I ate the potatoes and veg and left the beef. When I told the waitress at the end she said she would tell the chef. Nothing else came of this, don’t really like causing a scene as it ruins the mood but I won’t be returning any time soon which is a shame as like I said the first and second visit was lovely.

Three of us had been out for a country walk and thought it would nice to pop in for Sunday lunch. I can say it’s the worst pub I’ve been to in a long time. It wasn’t very welcoming at all. Service was very slow, I appreciate they were busy but never apologised. I did see another review saying the lady behind the bar could have smiled, I totally agree. After we had just eaten my friend had a funny turn and fainted, the only person that we need to thank was a very kind gentlemen who rushed over to help. No concern from the staff. No one knew why she was poorly and they didn’t seem very bothered we will not be going back and I will definitely not recommenced it to anyone

Visited here for Mother’s Day with family. Was a little disappointed I wasn’t told there was a set menu we had to have as I hadn’t told family members this so a little embarrassed.

This was our 2nd visit. We came about four weeks back and had a lovely night and really enjoyed our meal. That was the reason we returned but this time had the complete opposite. The meal was terrible and certainly wasn't worth the money. The woman who was behind the bar could at least smile and when she went to front of house I thought she was rude. The waitress although she was very polite and sweet didn't have a great deal of knowledge regarding the menu and had to go back and forth to the kitchen. Anyway we won't be going back.

Lovely evening meal. Amazing scallops, I’ve never seen scallops so big! The whole meal was delicious, the nicest steak I’ve had in a long time. Nice atmosphere! Paul Connolly is a terrific chef.

Visited with the family for Sunday lunch. Friendly welcome and service great. Food excellent. Fresh vegetables and not overcooked. Husband commented on succulent chicken. Vegetarian options too. Despite being quite busy no delay with the meals arriving.

9 of us had Sunday Lunch yesterday, very impressed with the staff, food and service.

My husband and I popped in for dinner this evening and what a find! We had the whitebait and scallops to start, followed by a delicious ribeye and daily special of monkfish. Everything far exceeded expectations, so much so we even went for a cheesecake too! We would highly recommend!

There is a VERY talented chef in this kitchen. The beef was exquisite - tender, full of flavour, cooked to perfection, and generously portioned, and "all the trimmings" were perfectly cooked too. Proper Yorkshires, and the most amazing gravy - not the thin, watery stuff which so often accompanies roasts, but the perfect consistency and absolutely delicious. One of us had the pork, and said it was the best she'd tasted and the crackling was perfect. We were served by attentive staff, with just the right amount of humour added. The ambience was excellent. We will most certainly be back.

Visited the Robin Hood which has just had new management. Really friendly, excellent service and well presented meals. Ideal for a special night out

Booked a table for four, several weeks ago for Christmas Eve. Today received a call to say kitchen closes at 4 pm!!

29 of us went here for a Christmas party. From beginning (doing the booking) to the end (saying good bye to us at the end of the meal) it was a great experience. The staff were really helpful in taking the booking and helping me organise the event, making sure the menus and choices were all right and accommodating last minute changes.

Absolutely fabulous.food was amazing . wonderful staff .couldn't recommend enough if you are looking for a venue for a great Christmas party.the staff of beechwood house thank you for giving us a truly wonderful night.

Had a midweek meal at the Robin hood, Tuesday night is curry night, this was a great choice, curry was great, portions were good plus all the extras included, Dogs are aloud in the pub side, our Dalmatian Ernie felt at home, service was very good, and seems are really friendly pub. Will return more often as our daughter has moved in the village.

We had booked a table for 3 people on a Friday evening. We arrived on time and ordered a bottle of white wine whilst we waited for the menus. The wine arrived with a comment that they had run out of wine coolers. We waited for some time before asking for the menus. After ordering we had an excessively long wait for our food. After a week at work most people want their food to arrive in a reasonable time. Our main courses arrived some 90 minutes after our arrival. At one point we were told that we would be the next to be served. When the food arrived it was attractively arranged and my vegetarian dish was good We were all too tired to be bothered with desserts or coffee. It was a pity that the good food was let down by the excessive wait.

Ate here on Thursday 8th November at lunchtime. Restaurant wasn’t busy. I had the rib eye steak. Hubbie had the lamb shank. Both were delicious. Service was really good too. We will return

Popped in for a meal with the family but we were late and the restaurant was closing for a few hrs, both chefs Neil and Steve where happy to make some lovely sandwiches with lots of extras for us all, that’s what I call service and it came with a smile, really enjoyed it.

We went to the Robin Hood last Friday for their 241 fish and chips offer. The restaurant was quite busy but we were soon served large fillets of cod, lots of triple cooked chunky chips and peas by a friendly waitress (Jane). The fish was perfect and in a light crispy batter. Overall the meal was excellent value at £6.25 each.

Stayed in a B&B; in village, chose this pub as it looked pleasant and served 2 for 1 fish and chips on a Friday. It was plentiful and tasty. Staff are very pleasant and friendly.

When we received a flyer through our letterbox advertising 2 steaks and a bottle of wine for just £30 on any wednesday during October we thought there must be a catch. But no, there wasn't ! We each had a good sized sirloin (tender and cooked exactly as we had asked for) together with lots of chunky chips, onion rings, field mushroom and a bottle of easy drinking and pleasant French merlot.

Spent a great evening here with family, we all enjoyed our meals. Previous reviews had said about portion sizes, I can only say definitely prefer the quality over quantity. Also enjoyed the ales. Great evening.

Been many a time. Food always tastes great. Lovely rustic but modern atmosphere. However to be expected to pay nearly £16 for 2 small squares of pork belly and a blob of potato while jealously watching my friend eat his cheaper but much for fulsome meal was somewhat disappointing. Even my partner said her meal could have done with a bit more veg for the price of it. Felt a bit deceived by the menu description. Sounded a lot bigger when you read it. Have never publicly complained before and maybe wouldn’t have done if both meals were £8 each. Manageress took on board constructive criticism professionally and very kindly (stating herself she didn’t know why chef’s portions were so small) refunded price of one of the meals. Didn’t appreciate Chef trying to stare us out through kitchen window more than once. Which maybe shows he cares and will learn. Happy to catch his eye. Sensitive soul bless him. He could have come out and apologised in person if he wanted to. We wouldn’t bite. Would go again.

Plenty to eat. Well cooked meat. Crispy roast potatoes and 6 vegetables including cauliflower cheese and red cabbage. Everything nicely presented on the plate. Friendly service. This pub is local to me, so I will be going again.

In years past this pub offered good meals for a good price. We often went down on a Friday for buy one get one free fish and chips. Horrified when we returned recently (August 2018) to find not only do they not do that anymore (fair enough) but that a fish and chips now cost 14 pounds each! For a pub in Hampshire thats ridiculous. Especially as they forgot to season the batter on the fish. The other thing that really needs to change is the total lack of any soft furnishings, curtains etc in the dining area which makes it seem like a cold drab area. Plus the noise levels are way too high as the sound reverberates around the room. Very difficult to hear conversations. Perhaps they should invest all that money they've made on the most expensive fish and chips ever on a few curtains and rugs..........
