The Ship Inn in Havant

Fabulous place overlooking Langstone harbour. Great food. Lovely friendly staff.

We were seated at a lovely table thanks to Nina, who was really attentive throughout. We ordered the fish dishes (trout & sea bream) which were lovely. The pub was clean and all staff friendly. Will happily come here again.

Easily my favourite pub on the south coast. Beautiful views, wide selection of draughts including Guinness 0%. Kaelen was a wonderful waiter to our table, and I will come back whenever I’m in the area. Also, fantastic atmosphere for St Patrick’s day! Many thanks

Had a lovely meal there on 10March whilst staying in the area for my birthday. Great place, lovely atmosphere in there and was looked after by the lovely staff member Nina. Would recommend this. 👍🤗

Great coffee and friendly staff. Shame we are missing the fireworks at the weekend

Nice spot by the water. Food is good. Lots of activity nights...

Dog friendly, servers a lovely London Pride .... What's not to like 👍

Excellent Sunday lunch. Nice atmosphere and great views over the harbour from our table. Only slight inconvenience was that they had run out of the pie of the day by 1pm when we arrived.

Great views but if you want an Aperol spritz it's £2 cheaper next door at the royal oak.

Great pub. V friendly staff & good food. We went for lunch & would highly recommend it to anyone you is looking for your classic English pub. Defo go there again.

Wow - this was hands down the most incredible roast we have ever experienced by a mile - the flavours were out of this world & all cooked to perfection. Every mouthful was a pure delight & not one weak item in the whole dish. Everything from the gravy to the meat & all the trimmings. My partner had the beef & I had the chicken. We were in food heaven & had a delicious glass of Malbec to go with it, could not be more pleased & have decided we’re only going to go here for a roast from now on as after that anywhere else would definitely feel disappointing. Great & attentive service to & lovely location on the seafront. Beautifully decorated interior & cosy feel. Thank you

For £7.50 on day 1, I got a sausage bap with 2 sausages and a nice chat with a professional barman called Phil.. Day 2 .. Phil wasn't working😔 There was only one sausage and a ' sorry about that'. When asking the polite, young waiter. He told me that the chef said that 'the single sausage was standard.' It would be nice to see some empowerment as part of Fuller's young staff training, consistency and value for money might also be an attractive offer too. ... day 3 ? (Not sure there will be one) ... I had invited 3 friends for breakfast with me . Sadly 'the sausage bap saga' became a topic of conversation among our group of corporate trainers... Below-par customer service does (still) have a knock effect .. ignore it and join the long line of low quality chains or up your game and make life better for all involved 🙏

The ship was recommended to us, so we expected great things, we unfortunately left underwhelmed & disappointed. On a Saturday evening at 6.30 we were seated upstairs in the restaurant which was really cold. We ordered our starter, after a few minutes the waitress came back & informed us it was sold out, we chose another, again after a few minutes we had the same issue, the staff should know what's sold out before taking orders. The venison was good. The coq au vin came without any 'veg' and the bread & butter was thin rubbery cheap white bread, which couldn't be buttered and tore immediately, at £24 it was disappointing. The Bakewell pudding also lacked enough classic flavour. Overall it was an ok meal, but for 2 people, only one starter, one of us drank 2 alcoholic drinks, 1 soft drink it came to £91.... Sorry to say but Ive had better and cheaper elsewhere locally.

Lovely place - relaxed atmosphere and eating environment. Always lovely food and great views….. doesn’t matter if weather is hot or cold - always a warm Welcome…

Came to the ship today for a lovely dinner was greeted by a lovely bubbly jass.Had the most amazing roast beef which was made by the wonderful chefs Nick and Harrison.

Great pub in a lovely location, staff are always friendly and the service is superb. The food is amazing and Tuesdays are always good as it is poker night with plenty of banter. Highly recommend

My regular pub for the weekly Redtooth poker league. It's expertly run by David, the tournament director, with great support from Mark the landlord. Poker aside, it's a lovely, cosy pub, steeped in sailing history and with great views out to Langstone harbour. I keep finding myself coming back, whether to watch the Euros in the summer, or the fireworks in November. 10/10.

Very warm, friendly pub in a great location. The staff make a real effort to ensure your visit is a great experience.

Called in for Breakfast, this was superb, only bettered by the attentive and friendly service of the wonderful Amy, a breath of fresh air,on a cold and winters morning

Had a wonderful Sunday roast with great service. It was one of the best roast dinners we have eaten out. Katie took time to put my mind at ease when picking my meal as I have a dairy allergy and even double checked with the kitchen after going through the list. Replaced the Yorkshire with extra roasties, overall fantastic service and understanding with eating out with an allergy!

Only purchased drinks when visiting The Ship

We went for the first time last week on a recommendation from a friend. We were able to choose a table from downstairs lovely pub or upstairs restaurant. We went upstairs mainly because of the view over the water. Staff were friendly and polite. Service was great. Had delicious food and were rushed off after so we were able to sit and chat. Would really recommend this pub. For service, ambience, food and location.

Great location, lots of parking, had an issue with my main meal, that was dealt with so very professionally and without fuss. Would 100% recommend.

My husband and I had a superb lunch in the upstairs restaurant on Tuesday lunchtime, with lovely views over the harbour. Nina was our waitress and was excellent at making us feel relaxed and welcome. She was very effecient with our order, very attentive to my nut allergy needs and very thorough in checking for me. My food was brought out first with assurances it had been prepared in a separate area to lessen any chances of cross contaminants. We both had the venison bourguignon, which was delicious. My husband had the sticky toffee mini pudding and coffee, which was very tasty and good value. All in all a thougroughly enjoyable experience. Many thanks Linda & Stephen

Absolutely lovely, the food was amazing and the guy serving us was brilliant. A very lovely place that we need to visit more often 🥰

Lovely food, lovely pub, great location

Too crowded, we decamped to the Langbrook Farm

A beautiful pub in a great location, with helpful staff, though hope we caught them on a bad day. The food was awful across many dishes. I know it's a chain pub, but the food doesn't match the promise of the setting. Great for a drink, and very good vibe.

Food was good. My friends all thought their food was delicious. The only small grumble I had was that the roasted pumpkin salad starter did not have roasted pumpkin in it. It was very hard and tasted raw. Other than that my lunch was lovely. Staff are all very friendly, great atmosphere and gorgeous location.

I made a mistake with dates of booking. Was supposed to be an over night break with my daughter as a gift for Christmas. Next weekend but I mistakenly booked for this evening 🤦🏽‍♀️ We had our weekend with our children this weekend and booking.com would not help us on our mistake. However Langstone harbour were more than accommodating. They upgraded us to suit all. Infact they could not help us more. The staff were amazing and to be honest it was nice talking to human beings rather than an automated telephone selection. Andy was the best and actually every staff member we came across the whole evening were amazing. They looked after us second to none. Booking.com I 100 % can absolutely express did absolutely nothing to help at all. My opinion go direct to places of interest in future.

Had dinner here on the 23rd December, had the festive menu which was great! Beautiful spot overlooking the water. Food excelent, service great

Great dinner. Seated quickly. Phil was great. Sophie got us our drinks in a quick fashion. 10/10 food and great atmosphere!

Great Christmas quiz night. Fab atmosphere and the free food greatly received. The team all work so hard led by Mark. Such great fun 👍

After having eaten here many times before I came tonight and the food has always been great and the food tonight was beyond dreadful. We started with the chefs special chicken wings which were cold and greasy , but I was so hungry I ate them and thank goodness I did as we had the mezze sharer for main course which was brought out initially with the starters and then reheated for the main course inedible!

The fish and chips was succulent. The poached pear was well presented. The ambience upstairs is inviting and the bar has a great atmosphere. We were served by Nina and Sophie; both polite and welcoming. Nina is very engaging and chats with genuine interest. Thank you to the whole team.

We have just visited the ship at Langstone Harbour for a family dinner time meal and we all had the Haddock and chips .We can all say it was the best piece of fish we have ever had nice crispy batter and lovely white flakey fish.Service was excellent and to make things better a table with views across Langstone Harbour a wonderful couple of hours with good beer and food thank you all at the Ship Langstone can honestly recommend a visit you won’t be disappointed

Delicious meal, friendly service, good vegan and vegetarian options. And very tasty prosecco.

Great service and fantastic meal 👌

Fast friendly service. Hey while I'm here go search up my full name on Google "Colin James Poulter" and maybe buy an album 😁

Good service, nice decor, car park isn't the best, and £7 for a pint of beer is disappointing and well above the average for the area. I only had chips, they were nice, I can't comment on the other food.

Great place! Came here tonight great atmosphere live entertainment was great too! Very pleased overall will come back for sure!

The food was absolutely fantastic at a reasonable price, and the staff were great, service a little slow but only because they had many tables to manage. Very cute and cosy pub and would absolutely return.

A cosy, warm and friendly pub that brings a country feel so a vibrant town🇬🇧🔥🌲🍺 -Lots of parking -Lovely views of the harbour, even better in summer. -Plenty of seats, up and downstairs. -Log fire, which gives off a very authentic feel. -Bespoke food which is beautiful. -Good selection of drinks

Great food, great prices, great staff. Just go!

Great night at the quiz night !

Their breakfast roll with sausages is excellent, their coffee is good too.

Passed the pub on the way to Hayling and thought we must go and eat there so we returned a few days later … very warm welcome, food was great and atmosphere too. Parking a little difficult as it’s a popular spot, some cars were also parked too far from each other and if parked closed you can get many more in.

Went to fireworks display Lovely pub Good atmosphere

Great location. Great views. Atmosphere was good. Service was pretty poor. Was stood at bar on arrival for 5mins no idea where staff were? They had run out of alot of food on the menu. What we did order was ok but way over priced....no greens with the pie and no sign of cavolo Nero with the venison.....instead frozen peas!! £36 for this, you decide. Waitress went to get me some mint sauce, maybe to the local supermarket as she didn't return.

As this pub is about 1/2 a mile away, it is my ‘local’. Been here a number of times for family celebrations, morning coffee and for do’s, such as the raft race. Staff really lovely. But the best thing is the canvas tent they have erected to protect you from wind and rain so comfy to watch the tide come and go. Food ok but limited choice for me. At busy times the wait is long. Loads of people here when the weather is nice. Provides duck food and treats for doggies. Nice

A favourite pub of mine. Not the cheapest but always a great atmosphere and reliably good food. Great selection of beer and wine. Would highly recommend.

Very disappointing. We've eaten here several times in the past and a nice atmosphere, the food was always great, Seems to have gone downhill a lot lately. Our last meal out was the worst we've had anywhere in a very long time. They don't seem to actually cook anything in house anymore, we spoke to the manger who confirmed that it's bought in frozen and that we weren't the first to complain. The Pie of the day was completely tasteless, the mash was cold, had a skin on it and had a very odd dry texture like smash..... The two mouthfuls of Cabbage were ok, the gravy was bland and tasted like bisto. The belly pork was a very chewy and grizzly bit of meat.. This is not a cheap meal out, in fact it's probably the most expensive locally and miniscule portions.. We won't be going back again, even Weather spoons food trumps this and it's a fraction of the price.

Worst food we ever had. Roasties were a disgrace. Waitress rolled her eyes at us when we had the audacity to ask for cutlery.

The pub is absolutely gorgeous, great atmosphere, very clean and spacious. You have lovely staff. We were served by Nina who was brilliant, very friendly, chatty and helpful. I lost your card otherwise I would have commented sooner

First time customer at the ship and I really liked the atmosphere the food and the excellent service. Will definitely go there again.

Lovely location, average food and very long waiting time! We waited, for a single course meal, about 1:30 hrs. We were told by the waiters about waiting time but it went above and beyond what we have been told. And we have been charged for drinks we didn’t t order … not a big deal compared to the wait! As per the food what we ordered was about average, lower in quality vs a year or so ago unfortunately (the best was the fish and chips for my children, with the gnocchi and bass being OK … chips are great so if you look for pub grub (sandwiches and burgers or fish and chips probably you get really good food … ). The car park is a pain as well, with car parked badly and limited spots as it’s used by non-clients as well. On the plus side the location is great and that’s what saves it!

It started good but that's were it end one of the staff very rude

A great atmosphere, dog-friendly downstairs and welcoming helpful staff. The food was beautiful and nicely presented and hot too! We’d return there anytime and loved the open seafront and a good walking path to take the dogs for a walk.

Lovely location. Friendly staff. Dog friendly too.

I highly recommend . The dinner is delicious and service is perfect especially with Nina she is amazing. Thank you so much .

The food was fresh and delicious, and the best part was that the Nina recommend us “delicious starters”. Thank very much .

Called in today at approx 3.30. Always a diffictult time to order food but not here. They serve good food all day and we had delicious sausages and mash. Thank you for your great service.

Very nice pub with good views over the water. My haddock and chips was good quality as was a steak sandwich. Good selection of beers available and had brought in special Oktoberfest ones.

It is so easy to drive past. I'm so glad we stopped. Eating upstairs is well worth it for a special occasion with amazing views. Brilliant staff.

Friendly staff, delicious food, nice atmosphere. Good service. Loved the option of a mini dessert and hot drink.

Nice restaurant. Excellent food and good service.

Beautiful food, generous portions and very friendly and attentive staff. We had a lovely meal here and would certainly come back.

On a beautiful Friday early in October I had a nice fish and chips and a pint of ale on the terras, after having enjoyed a short sail trip near Hayling Island. I had been here before during summer and gladly came back here, before heading back towards Dover to catch the ferry back home. Later that day, I was driving past London and realized that I left my coat at the terras with my passport in it. A short call to The Ship Inn, it had been found. One member of the staff, Mark, offered to drive towards me, so I did not have back all the way. We met about halfway, saving me about 2 hours of driving. Mark did not want to receive anything for this extraordinary service. Many thanks Mark! You literally went the extra mile(s) for your customer.

Catered for my dietary requirements, gluten free burger buns and vegan cheese options. Tasty food! Recommended!

Nice venue with great views across Langstone Harbour. Excellent service and very good food. It's a large pub so despite a big car park, finding a spot at busy times can be tricky.

A fabulous pub on every level. Keith is brilliant and all the staff were lovely; going the extra mile for my mum's birthday, much appreciated. Delicious Greek Meze, beautiful setting and wonderful atmosphere. Thank you 😊

Thank you for a lovely meal today and such friendly staff. All of them had a smile and a pep in their step. Mina was our server and couldn’t have done more for us.

great location old haunt on road to Hayling Island and adjacent to the water at Langstone Harbour

Not sure about all the unverified reviews but this was the worst food experience of my life. A simple wrap… smoked salmon and cream cheese. Words fail me that the kitchen and waiting staff could actually deliver this to a customer. Shame on you. It actually made me sick!

Fantastic views across Chichester Harbour can be had from this gem. Very old pub managed by Fuller's, so expect great beer. Lots of parking. But be aware, it's so nice here it can get very busy.

Good location very pretty. Young team took a while to get served as team were talking about when they finish. But they are all young can understand why

A 50 minute wait for a dinner for 2 on a Monday night to eventually be treated with canteen food! Very poor quality and even worse value! These meals were clearly put together by someone who has had basic training. In contrast the staff were very welcoming & lovely plus the atmosphere was decent!

Unfortunately the food didn't match the beautiful view. We ordered a burger and a ciabatta sandwich. The burger was Luke warm and a bit soggy and the ciabatta was rock hard(inedible). We were waiting for the staff to check how the food was, they didn't approach the table until we had left. Would not recommend 😕

Fantastic location and a reasonable sized car park although at 11.30 on Monday morning the car park was full even though the pub was not. By the time we tried to order at 11.40 we were advised lunch service didn't start till noon and we couldn't pre order. When 12.00 arrived I ordered the smoked salmon and cream cheese sandwich with cucumber and dill garnish served with chips. I was advised that there was no granary bread available, even though it was the start of service, so I agreed to brown bread. 30 minutes later the sandwich arrived. I wish it hadn't. The bread was stale so much so I thought perhaps it had been toasted but as the butter was not melted that could not have been the case. Then the contents...dollops of cream cheese with a few chunks of smoked salmon that was so tough it tasted like it too had been left out on a plate to air dry. 2 slices of cucumber no dill. Needless to say I left this disaster. When the waitress came to collect our plates she said everything ok, I said obviously not pointing to my uneaten food she smiled. I said that it wasn't funny and explained the problem she said oh can I get you anything else. As if. We explained we had ordered hot drinks. After waiting 15 mins, no drinks so my companion went in to query and the person behind the bar asked if she was sure she had placed the order!!? She assured the bar person she had not only placed the order but paid for it. So the order was re-placed and after a further 10 mins a young waiter appeared we called him over as he couldn't find the table, he apologised for the delay saying he was rubbish at making coffees!? He was right, my decaf latte was barely luke warm and my companion's hot chocolate likewise was not hot. If you want a good setting for a drink and you aren't in a hurry the ship is fine , if you want good food and competent service avoid like the plague.

Great roast, nice views over the bay.

We just popped in for a drink. Very happy friendly staff. Beautiful setting. Next time we are passing we will definitely pop back for food.

We had one of the best fish suppers. Beer battered haddock and chips was well cooked, fresh tasting and a good size. The tartare sauce was thick and creamy and we loved the crushed minted peas Staff were friendly and the service was really good. Lovely views out towards Hayling Island. Would definitely recommend.

Only stayed for a quick drink and a bowl of chips, but found the pub to be very pleasant and in a beautiful setting, even though it was pretty grey and gloomy on the day we visited. Hope to go back and stay for longer very soon!

Very busy, fair choice, though slightly disappointed with food. Good outlook over the water.

Fabulous, venue,people, entertainment, especially Welda and October amazing xXx

Nice pub with sea views and a shore line walk

Lovely pub by the water. Large outdoor seating area which is great for sunny days and it also has a tented area to the side. The sandwiches are nice and they’re not shy on the fillings. Definitely worth a visit if you’re local.

Had a great breakfast here while the kids went crabbing off the shore. Great spot with beautiful views. Great drink selection too. Car park can get very busy and food service may be slow when busy, but worth a visit.

Great food although it took a while to come,

Excellent service and food Good prices and varied menu choices What's not to like.... Very relaxing and will call again

Lovely food and great service. Very nice Welcoming atmosphere. Jana, was very efficient and very helpful explaining all the menu options specifically the gluten free options .

Not the cheapest but good service and a nice atmosphere.

Came for the monday night pub quiz, great selection of beers and food options. Ben, the chef, made a gorgeous burger and broccoli gnocchi. We’ll definitely be back next week !

Fantastic pub with friendly staff. The food was great and the beer was cold and tasty.

Great pub with great views, staff were very good.

Great for crabbing with the kids when the tide is in.

I don't know if everyone here was having a bad day or what happened but we got moved about half way through our meal, given a pickled salad that looked a week old, charged £3.99 for a chicken nugget with said salad and also charged £34 for 3 drinks which was a bit of a joke, 10/10 would recommend if you love being mugged off

Lovely spot. Had a great ploughman's. Lovely spot for an evening meal.

Pub is lovely, but would pass on the food next time. Took my wife and 3 teenage sons - once the right burgers turned up (after 3 attempts) they came with mouse portions of chips and nothing else (no coleslaw, no salad). The burgers were very tasty, but had to feed my sons when we got back home. Not really the expected outcome after spending £16-£19 on each burger meal in a pub...

Gorgeous location on a beautiful sunny day. Food was well presented, very tasty and suitable for big appetites. My mum enjoyed the smaller plate which was more than enough. Fantastic!!
