We ate at the travellers joy on friday and saturday. Quite a large group of us. The service from Joel and his team was second to none.. nothing was too much trouble. And the food was top notch. I cannot recommend this place highly enough. We will definately be making a return visit very soon. Lynn Milsom x

I came in with my wife for a late sunday lunch. The front of house staff were amazing, the two young men really catered for us. The food was exceptional and the chef came to our table to check that all was ok. I asked for the chefs name and i think it was Kris. The whole experience was great. Will definitely eat there again.

Even though it is my local pub, I will not be visiting again. The interpersonal skills of the head barmaid are lacking to the extent that it can be construed as rude. She should not be in a customer facing role. Definitely a place to miss.

We had our first visit today. The area is separated into two areas, one being dog friendly. The menu is small, but does cater for vegan and gluten-free options. The drinks arrived promptly, the food however took over 40 minutes to be served. When it was finally served, the food tasted great, but was merely like warm. At no point did anyone check in with us to advise about the delay and to offer an apology for the long wait.

Had an excellent lunch here today. Place is under recently new management. The rope grown mussels came in a delicious chilli, Lime and coconut sauce The fish pie was delightful. The liver and bacon lovely. Just a small note. The starters and mains got a bit confused. All my fault, but rather than take one main back to the kitchen while we ate our started, they gave the liver and bacon away to a local and prepared another for us. Excellent service and care and attention to quality. Highly recommended.

A Hidden Gem in Emsworth! I recently visited The Travellers Joy in Emsworth and had an absolutely fantastic experience. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, with a charming, rustic décor that made me feel right at home. The beer selection was impressive, featuring a variety of local brews that were both refreshing and flavourful. I particularly enjoyed the friendly and attentive service from the staff, who made sure my visit was perfect from start to finish. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, The Travellers Joy is a must-visit for a relaxing and enjoyable pint. Highly recommended!

Great service, friendly and swift. Under new management who are evidently masters at what they do. Wish they had offered smaller portions for the teenagers in our group but the fact they could choose from main menu and not just a roast is great for us. Couple of things missing from the menu like tomato juice and banana ice cream but they’d only been open 3 days when we visited. The cheese cake was drool worthy, can’t wait to return and try every other dessert on the menu!

Day 3 popped in for a a pint, new landlady comes out and gives everyone a little bowl of olives, thought how nice. However, me, older local chap stood at bar totally ignored.

A real shame that service was extremely poor when the food was actually alright. Attitude of bar maid/waitress was appalling regardless of the wait on food which appeared to be near on 45 minutes to an hour, the waitress should not be so aggressive. Real shame she spoilt our first time experience at this oldie worldie pub. Will not be recommending or visiting in future.

So a group of four popped in for lunch today. The wait was ridiculous. One meal came out and was eaten then after that the 2nd meal was eaten. Waited another 20 mins and asked for the next two meals and was told plating up. One of our party went into to get a couple more drinks and waited 5 mins and had to call the pub to get someone out. When the bar maid came out she was polishing of some food. We then waited longer and asked for the food again and the bar maid was very aggressive and rude. If we were communicated too this would have defused the whole situation! What has happened to customer service these days!!

My daughter and I had the Sunday Roast which was very good and my young granddaughter had a burger from the kid’s menu. We all enjoyed our meals very much and I was really pleased to see that they had the option for a smaller portion. I think this is such a good idea as not everyone has a huge appetite and it saves unnecessary food waste. The staff were pleasant and obliging and the service was good too. All in all, a very good experience and I hope to visit again soon.

Had to take half home it was so big. The steak burger was the best I have ever had and came with a lot of chips and Mexican Chipotle sauce. I thought it was 1,000 island so found it a bit hot for me but very nice though. The garlic cheese bread was also fantastic and a good sized portion. Washed down with a lovely refreshing large glass of Pinot Grigio wine. We have been here a few times over the years and it never disappoints.
