The Sailmaker in Gosport

Uncle Barry loves it here. The staff make him feel comfortable. He likes to sit in the window seat, S.J makes it an easy process for us. Thankyou

I just want to say Thank you to Daisy. She is such a lovely lady that was always there, behind the bar, to help, serve and joke with us. She really made our evening warm and special.

Daisy at the bar was amazing! She was attentive, smiley and so helpful that she made us feels special!

The food was lovely, the staff on shift were friendly and helpful. We have been here many times and I have only had one negative experience and that was due to one of the managers (they were not on shift this time).

Ola has been a brilliant server. Very welcoming, efficient and attentive. 10/10 we will be back.

One of, if not the first to try the new ultimate ribs and chicken platter! Stunning! Hot and fresh, ribs just melted off the bone. Chicken wings and SF fillet just as good. Have to be honest I didn’t clear my plate but that’s good news for hungry carnivores out there. All served with a welcoming smile and friendly conversation by the lovely Olaa and Jess. Just leaves me to wash it down now with some top notch Inch’s cider. Will come again 👍

Staff always Freindly and with good guidance Always Happy and can be approached Food from Carvery to Main Menu VG Mother in law always has small plate from the Carvery and Yet clears the plate without any problem Wheel Chair Access makes it easy and at the age of 99 Hopefully by May next year at the age of 100 Peggy will still clear the plate Thank You

Awesome. Russ and SJ were very helpful and friendly

Nothing mind blowing, just good honest grub at reasonable prices. My Dad had the carvery but said it was all cold so that's a bit disappointing. My beef lasagna was good as was my wife's chicken and mushroom pie. Service was excellent though, very attentive and all food and drink was brought promptly. We had a great evening after a lot of traveling and meeting friends and family ahead of a wedding this weekend. A thumbs up from all of us and a special mention to Olga, Jess and Jack for looking after us too.

Very welcoming, speedy service and great food. Thank you very much. We’ll definitely book again

Lovely Monday night dinner. The menu has plenty of choices so there is something for everyone. The staff were polite and attentive

A great experience as always, some family members were participating in dry January so we're very impressed with the ranges of alcohol free drinks, they tried the old mout 0% and also the Stella 0%, all meal were enjoyed and left all with full bellies. We shall definitely continue visiting.

Went in to try the free 0% Guinness offer. Wow could hardly tell the difference. Was quiet when I visited but service from the manager Rick was exceptional. Would highly recommend a visit

Sj Brooke Sophie and Georgia what a lovely friendly team. Food was also lovely.

Helpful staff, put issue with large wheelchair in booking comments and we were shown to a table that would have been perfect but for a bar under the table which stopped us pushing the wheelchair in. We were immediately offered a different table which was just right. We weren't made to feel a nuisance as we can be in some places. Service was quick and the food was excellent. Altogether a massively positive experience.

Always friendly staff and the food is of a very good standard with a good and varied menu

Carvery was awful. It was dry n stale. Worst carvery in years. Such a shame as the staff were lovely xx

Had a great meal 30 percent off mains as well great value come here often food is always good staff are very friendly and attentive.

Great service and good food quality. Upon arrival we were looked after by the staff. The food we ordered arrived promptly and was hot and tasty. The steak and Ale pie was succulent and had great flavour. The fish and chips was crispy and arrived with lots of chips as well. Again well done.

We have been going to the Sailmaker since it opened. Originally it was excellent but that standard has not been maintained! Our last four visits have not been good, one time they totally forgot our order, two others were disappointing as some dishes were not available but last night was dreadful, the carvery was not available nor were two other dishes. We will NOT be going back 🤬

Pleasant visit, friendly staff and all options available.

Excellent service. Easy ordering online with lots of customisation options. Friendly staff. Food promptly delivered and quality great. Indoor play area for our 4 year old.

Thank you so much for a great meal. Food was delicious, staff attentive and really polite. Will be back 100%

Despite a busy evening the food and service was good.

Fab pub quiz with Darren! Brilliant host, we enjoy going regularly.

Had a meal and stayed for quiz A good laugh

Pub quiz fantastic well done Darren

took part in the xmas pub quiz which was brilliant, good food and good service

Was not impressed with food which was lukewarm ..staff not friendly at all... everything too much trouble

The pub quizzes run by Darren are awesome, we've been a few times now and will be making it a regular evening out (might actually win one day too!) Thanks for awesome evenings!!

A lovely breakfast with Santa. Kids loved it and food was great - Thanks Russ. Santa was fab and kept the magic for the kids.

Breakfast with Santa was amazing.. great food and excellent service from Vikkie, Brooke and SJ will definitely book again for next year Thankyou everyone

Terrible service, discourteous supervisor. And not all the food was available for the carvery and only half the meat etc condiment section was empty. Had to wait nine minutes for gravy, while standing in a queue with other people.. When I spoke to the supervisor about the lack of supervision, she just said yes, I know🤦‍♂️ No apologies, nothing. The food was tasty, but I wouldn’t go back again. Poor quality carvery, very bad service.

Terrible service. Slow uninterested supervisor. Poor selection of meat and food on the carvery and almost zero condiments. When I complained to the supervisor, she was totally uninterested.

Nice, well run pub. The menu and food much improved as can be seen by the popularity of the place especially at the weekends. Nice friendly staff too.

Good carvery 😁😁, you no what your getting 👍👍👍

Good venue for a family get together. Good food and drink, well priced. We will be back.

Staff went extra mile with making sure food was exactly how we wanted. Kids foods came out first, which is perfect as they take the longest. Friendly and helpful and accommodating for all needs

Great night out. All staff were friendly and helpful. The food was excellent quality- we had 2 surf and turf, one hunter chicken and one carvery.

We had a fantastic school girls christmas meal today. Rich made it more special today by giving us Christmas crackers to dress the table

Wow what can I say. Every part of my visit was perfect. Served by Rich and Olaa service was excellent and food was perfect. Carvery looked delicious so decided to give it a try. Meat juicy, crispy roast potatoes and fluffy on the inside, veg fresh and can’t go wrong with nice thick gravy. Will definitely be back thanks for a great evening!

Great service, staff friendly food excellent

Decent quality food and excellent customer service

Easily booked online for a table at The Sailmaker this evening. We ordered using the QR code on the table which was easy to do and our drinks and carvery vouchers arrived quickly after ordering. There was a short wait for the server to come back to the counter but there was a good selection of meat (gammon, beef and turkey) and sides (peas, carrots, sprouts, cauliflower cheese, roast potatoes, mashed potatoes, parsnips and potato dauphinoise). I was a greedy b****h and my plate was piled high with a selection of the above, plus extra pigs in blankets and 3 Yorkshire puds 😋🐖🐖 It was all absolutely delicious smothered in gravy with horseradish for my beef and cranberry sauce for my turkey. I didn't quite have room for the last Yorkshire and a bit of mash and a member of staff kindly gave me a couple of paper bags to take my leftovers home to my appreciative mutts 😃 Thank you, Sailmaker ... I'll be back next time my carvery itch needs scratching!

To long cleaning the table and when it was only 4 out of the 6 plates were taken not a nice place gone down hill..

Everyone was kind and friendly and very helpful

Lovely menu, good food but was gutted they didnt have enough meat ect for carverys due to a large party that had booked so was rather disappointed x great prices on food and drink, cocktails are definitely worth the price i was shocked they was in pint glasses x staff more then accommodating

All the staff were friendly and welcoming and delivered great customer service. The food was freshly cooked and very tasty and I would definitely recommend the Sailmaker to my friends and family.

Good good, loads of food, good Yorkshire pudding. The meat was very nice. Nice roast love it. Georgia lovely young lady. I asked for a bigger piece of pork crashing She said ok I then. Then I asked for her name, Later after I finished my meal. I said I would write a review she said Thank you. That would be lovely. Very helpful, very nice, lovely manner about her. Two boys, working down her for a week from Essex. Back to the primary inn to lay down im stuffed. I'll sleep well tonight lol Good job well done.

I personally had a good meal. One person in our party had the carvery, which was a bit dry, but I did think this was a silly choice to go for on a Monday evening. Has the meat been kept warm for a while. Carvery is more of a sunday lunch option when there is a higher turnover

Really lovely carvery dished up by Georgia. Very nice service!

Georgia was really polite and helpful! 😁

It was a nice place. Everyone enjoyed their meal. Very generous portions

Such friendly staff, professional too.

Great hospitality and food cooked beautifully, willl return

Made us feel absolutely welcome and a super family atmosphere. Great food . Wonderful start to our holiday. Thanks Vickie, Ola and Jess xx

brooke, our server is lovely, and food was good and came out quick

It is a good environment and lovely welcome space for big groups, a wonderful place for a group catch up with good food and drinks

Easy and efficient ordering system Carvery was nice

Absolutely awful display on the carvery it looked grubby . The meat was all dried up and most of the vegetables were pretty much the same gravy I could stand the spoon up in it .we had to sit on a table for 8 because every other table was dirty .The service at the bar was ok the it was frankly dire .

The girl who serviced me was so lovely. We really need more people like her in the world. Thank you so much for a lovely experience

Been here a number of times over the years, each time it gets a little bit worse, today was awful, staff rude and unhelpful, the Calvery was a burnt dry offering. Never again see photo, and to top it off had to wait for 5 mins for potatoes to arrive. Come on Marstons this is crap! Oh they won’t let me load the photo. I am not surprised

Very nice food indeed, food lovely friendly staff, a bit pricey but portion sizes to match, rather large, so on the whole very good indeed.

Staff keep you waiting and by far the worst carvery I have ever been to. The meat had clearly been sat there for some time, the beef was as dry as my nans cracked heels and the gammon was as cremated as my childhood dog, to be fair they were probably cooked around the same time. The roast potatoes were soggy and undercooked,the best part of my visit was when we left.

Lovely friendly pup with a great Cavery.

The bar staff are friendly as are the carvery servers. Vicky and Georgia are always cheerful and helpful.

Wow, service from Jess & Ola, simply fantastic. And with a sense of humour and a friendly genuine smile on an extremely busy night. Personal service swhich is SO so rare in pubs these days. Food was stunning. Wow, even down to their salads which are stunning. Well done The SailMaker and staff. Great night out, a hidden gem in the middle of Gosport!! Who knew? Amazing.

Food great. Staff better. Love this place

Very good helpfull staff very good service and good

Vickie was super helpful and very helpful

Not been here for a while but Vickie made us feel welcome much better than my last visit, I might even come back 😁

Great food....excellent service ...from Brooke...and ola. Lovely evening. Thankyou all so much

Great evening. Lovely food. Friendly service. Special thanks to Jack and Charlie

Great atmosphere and staff. Ola and Brooke really made our evening and went the extra mile for our party. Thankyou very much to everyone

Went to the Sailmaker to have dinner after working all day. You can rely on getting a hot meal, and a warm welcome.

Really enjoyed our meal. Plenty of things to keep the kids entertained whilst we finished eating. Cheers Jack and Charlie for the great service! 🤓

Excellent service, ola and brook

Delicious as usual and super friendly staff

Absolutely disgusted to find a 1.5cm lump of stone pebble in my vegetarian chilli. Hardly got an apology More a "we buy this in" I could of broken a tooth as I bit down on it or choked One thing to overlook the uncleared and sticky tables but another entirely to find a lump of rock in your food. Tried to fob me off that it was a piece of hard veg. Errrr no it s a piece of stone Horrendous experience Wont be eating out again for a long time

Lovely pub with very attentive staff

This was our first time at the sailmaker, at first we were a bit unsure of what to expect but when our meals came out we were highly impressed, the food was sooo nice! It’s the first time the whole family have all sat down and eaten every last bite whilst out having a meal! My partner usually moans at every little thing but there was absolutely no complaints! The food was delicious and hot and the staff were very friendly! Will absolutely be returning!

Yum yum. 😋 always a nice meal to be had here . Five stars.

Was here for Halloween party had book a table Highly recommend. Definitely best thing to do is always book a table it was fully booked tonight. My son had a brilliant time. Staff were amazing SJ Jack Chole Jess Brooke and thank you Johnny and Charlie for a Reading kids had amazing time

Very good food, service brilliant, staff very friendly and polite

It was a busy Sunday, but we didn't have to wait long for our table. We all decided to have a carvery, and it was very good and well stocked. We will definitely come back again.

Excellent service! Thank you so much Vickie.

What a great friendly atmosphere! Jess served us and she was really friendly and made us feel at home! Thank you Jess!!!

Fantastic service from Vickie and Lauren. I was served quickly at the bar and both the ladies were very polite. Roast beef was delicious on the carvery and i will not hesitate to recommend to friends and family's

Vicky is absolutely amazing! Such good service I will be returning! Thank you

The food was lovely! We had a roast carvery and the beef especially was so tender! Really lovely meat. The service was warm and welcoming and the atmosphere of the pub was very family friendly. We used the scan code for the first time to order and it was quick and easy and we had no issues. We love coming and we are already planning our next visit
