Yew Tree Public House in Havant

Had an amazing meal. Such good value for money and the staff were really friendly. Would definitely recommend it to others!

This is a proper pub. Good food and atmosphere. Fantastic beers. Good selection.of spirits. Excellent bar staff. What more do you want!!!

We stopped here on a Saturday night on the off-chance after seeing their A board outside advertising their Greek night. They had sold out of a few dishes already, so the Greek menu is obviously popular. We both really enjoyed our food and drink, and it was great to find somewhere that serves something different to standard pub grub.

We had steak and kidney puds with chips a thick and tasty gravy, it was delicious. Service was fantastic, place is amazing, a feast for the eyes. Sadly my partners dessert was awful, the ginger sponge was delicious....but the custard was terrible, it looked like it was made with water, it was clear with lumps in it, like the power hadn't dissolved, when we were table checked, we told them about the custard, she apologised, took it away and said she would bring a fresh one, she returned with a fresh one and the custard was the same, we payed the bill and took the untouched pud back inside, put it on the bar, explained why it was untouched, and left, I was surprised we weren't offered a refund for the pud. It won't stop us going again as we everything else was fantastic.

This is the second visit, what a pity! Crab sandwiches with lots of shell and very little crab in them, and worse part loads of margarine type spread, very , very poor, and a basic ham sandwich for my grandsughter5 years old) £5.50! Will never go again

The Yew Tree Pub is very tired and dated looking pub, inside and out, and would do better to have a complete overhaul on its interior. It sits prominently on the main road through Hayling Island, and can therefore attract a lot of passing trade, however we will never go back - as the place is just very tired, unclean and grim on the inside. The food is at best, average English fair ~ lacking style, panache or flavour - we had the Sunday Lunch, which was stuffed chicken (breast stuffed with a sausage and paxo!) ~ the food came out relatively quickly, and it was hot and plentiful - the staff were working hard dealing with the many customers, so clearly I guess their philosophy is ‘if it ain’t broke’ type of approach. But looking around, it is really filthy dirty inside - there is dust everywhere, on every one of the hundreds of trinkets and artefacts adorning every wall.. Including a quite large collection of Victorian chamber pots hanging from hooks. It’s a little disconcerting to think that these toilet implements are hanging where people sit to eat. It’s just a little off-putting. I’m sure that if the owners decided to spend some money overhauling the interior, improving the quality of the food, and cleaning the interior, it would be a winner through and through, even the single card menus were really old and grotty ~ covered in a plastic film. You always know when a place has low standards when your elbows stick to the table, and you sink back in to the very old and tasteless cushions. But it does have potential, because there is certainly the team energy working hard here, and the clientele to support it. But we will never return unfortunately, and I’m sure it has missed a lot of repeat visitors as it is a real turn-off when a place is really grotty inside - gloomy, filthy and dated.

Visit the yew tree while on holiday at hayling island and loved it so much we ate there every day. Super dog friendly, choice of real ale for my husband and the food was amazing , even had veggie pies for myself and bacon and onion pudding one of my husbands favourites with tons of fresh veg, really superb thank you. The interior of the pub is stuffed full of everything from grandfather clocks to chamber pots , it’s like a museum of our past and we enjoyed having a good look at all the items and some of them bought back lovely memories of our childhood. Loved visiting the bird avery in the garden too. Highly recommend and can’t wait to visit again, please don’t change a thing xxx

WARNING!!! OVERCHARGED for 2 meals. Please check your bill before paying. If staff are unable to do simple mental maths, use a calculator. When our meals arrived both were luke warm....not up to your usual standards and the Pub was not even that busy.

The yew tree is a gem, vast menu which includes classics such as meat pudding & liver & onions, to more modern dishes such as morrccan beef , chicken korma & chilli, there’s is something for everyone, huge portions and exceptional value for money. All served by friendly welcoming staff. Returned several time during our stay!

Sunday lunch home cooked and excellent very tasty, hot and fresh. We all had roast beef which was tender and tasty. Staff very friendly Nice pint Will be going back

Food is terrible not worth the money made me feel sick it’s not worth going stay away from here never going back wish I never went

We tried the Yew Tree Inn for the first time today to celebrate our wedding anniversary and being Hayling residents we wish we had tried it before. It was a busy lunchtime but we didn't wait long for our meals and they were perfec, hot, tasty and large portions. Then we treated ourselves to dessert and they were delicious. Such a nice atmosphere in there. Very friendly and relaxed. The whole experience was excellent. We will definitely be returning

My father lives on the island for many years, he and his neighbour drive from West Town most Sundays to eat here, the food has always been good with pleasant service. I visit my father from London every few weeks and this also includes the Sunday lunch visit here. My father has a very tiny dog who accompanies them on every visit. Today our experience was very different, after our food I was playing with dog on the floor and beckoned him onto my lap, a staff member passing abruptly stated no dogs at the tables, I thought fair enough, but on looking round noted another table with a poodle sitting on a chair next to its owner, the member of staff ignored this. We had finished eating and were considering desert and more drinks. I moved my chair 2ft away from the table next to a fire place and the small dog then sat on my lap quietly. The same member of staff came rushing over and very rudely stated she had told me no dogs at the table I apologised and stated I had purposely moved away from the table she continued to try to engage in an argument with me, at which point I stated I would not be drawn into an argument paid our bill and left. Never to return. My father and his neighbour were appalled by the attitude and rudeness shown towards me. They will also never return and will make their friends aware of this unpleasant incident. I was spoken to like a naughty child, disrespected and embarrassed.

Just popped into the yew tree after a few recommendations all I have to say is the food is fantastic. Good portions a good price I will be coming back . :)

We are always looking to try new pub restaurants in our part of of Hampshire and decided to try the Yew Tree, not knowing what we would find. We were delighted with the outcome and will definitely go back. We were welcomed by friendly staff and although we arrived earlier than we had booked, that was not a problem. The menu was varied and we were both spoilt for choice. Once we had ordered, we did not have to wait very long for our meals to arrive, which were piping hot- always a bonus for me. We were both impressed by the quality of the food and the service we received. We will definitely return.

I would like to start my review with a big thank you to all the staff for the excellent experience , food, drinks and service they offered the Friendship group on the 12th Dec . I took 21 elderly people for their Christmas lunch, the food was pre-ordered , we arrived at 12:30 , the starters were served very quickly after everyone was settled , followed by the main course , the portions were huge and such good quality , puddings were followed by mince pies , mints and coffee. One of our members is on a gluten free diet and everything was provided for her to ensure she had the same experience as everyone else. Best ever.

Excellent , we went to the Yew Tree on a whim , and found a real gem, the staff were lovely and the food was amazing. We had the Morrocan Beef which was perfect and the bacon and onion pie. The portions were massive so unfortunately we couldn't finish,the Chips were the best I have had in a long time

Family of 4 had an amazing feast at this Inn, great food, great staff and fantastic prices across the board, a must. Value for money, we are still talking about as I write.

5 star hosts and great food We Booked an evening meal for 4 and was made really welcome on arrival. Traditional English pub serving up great food. Nothing too much trouble wish we lived in the area to use more often. Great place to meet for a drink or a meal any time of the day.

Fabulous friendly pub. Meals are outstanding. Plenty of choice and reasonably priced. Staff are lovely. Looking forward to coming back.

Visited the Yew Tree Inn with my mum and dad. The pub was nice and busy, inside and out But this didn't impact the service. The pub was well staffed. We were served promptly at the bar and our food arrived in a sensible timeframe. We sat outside and tried to move tables. In the process, my dad collapsed. The staff (and other customers) were all incredible, coming to our aid. They bent over backwards to help, making sure that my dad was looked after and safe. The food was great, although my dad felt too unwell to eat, bless him. Well done to everyone at the Yew Tree for being so helpful and thoughtful. We will be back, although next time hopefully we'll leave the drama at home!!

After scrawling the web for a place to eat we came across this hidden gem! Fantastic staff and food serving and quality was top notch. Will be going back 😀

A great find, only had lunch but the food was lovely and reasonably priced. Great choice of menu, good traditional home cooked pub food. Good service and friendly staff. Will visit again when back in the area.

A very enjoyable experience. The staff were friendly and efficient. Food was delicious. We were a family of 7 and brought our puppy, no problems.

Brilliant. So reasonably priced and masses of food. Will certainly be back, thank you for a lovely relaxing meal. Loved the birds in the garden as well.

* staff and locals very friendly. * felt like locals ourselves by the end of the week! * Wish we could have this pub at the end of our street in London. We will be back!!

Dirty smelly furniture tatty to say the least food service very slow fish and chips worse I’ve ever had very over cooked asked for children’s meals early waste of time barmaids having private conversations while costumers waiting toilet disgusting go to this pub at your peril

Lovely friendly atmosphere, we only stayed on the island for three nights and ate here for two. The food was wonderful and plenty of it, lots of choice too. Nice quaint pub with friendly and helpful staff. We will definitely come back again.Denise, Ray and cocker spaniel Molly

This is what I would call a proper pub, cosy where friends and family can meet for a drink or a meal. It’s a good size with plenty of tables and outdoor space, and the food is great, well cooked home made food with lots to choose from and large portions.

I took 27 people for lunch at the Yew Tree today , the staff were very friendly , patient and the service was very good. We had pre-ordered and the food was served very quickly, the choices ranged from the 2 course meal, roast pork with pots and veg followed by strawberry cheesecake and cream, ham and chips, fish and chips, pate ploughmans, cheese pie , sandwiches and lamb chops , followed by cheesecake, crumble and ice-cream , the portions were amazing and the quality was 5* , many of the guests said they would be returning with their families , some said they would like to go back for Christmas lunch. I would personally like to thank the staff for their support from the beginning of my original request to todays service . Absolutely amazing.

We visited the Yew Tree 3 while staying a week on the Island. We just popped in for a drink but saw other people’s food and decided to stay for dinner. Yum yum food was delicious. I had the steak and kidney pudding, ploughman’s and lamb chops, my husband had chilli & rice, steak and mushroom pie and chicken bacon and leek pie all were great good size portions and good value would defiantly recommend it. Service was quick even when busy, plenty of tables outside area nice . Well worth a visit.

Terrible food, drink, service and atmosphere.Ordered Sunday lunch, took 40 mins to arrive ( we were told up to 30 mins upon ordering) and was eventually plonked on our table without cutlery or any mention of the fact we’d need to go to the bar (from the garden) to pick this up ourselves. The food was as basic as you can get, with beef slices just a few mm thick (think sandwich slices), supermarket roasties, and instant gravy. Didnt try the veg it looked so unappealing. No yorkshire pud or anything extra. I would have been sad to pay £5, however this was an extortionate £11.Also ordered a coffee at the bar, and was told I could go back to the table to wait for it. 25 mins later it came out. Small cup as if it was a filter coffee, but this was basic instant coffee. Very disappointing. Now I know why the nearby Maypole pub was fully booked, and this was freely available! Avoid at all cost.

We enjoyed a great evening meal, staff are friendly helpful and generous in their outlook. Food was lovely with a very tasty gammon steak accompanied by good chips and vegetables. Prices are very reasonable for both drinks and food

My husband and I are staying at the Langsdowne Quay Hotel and wanted to go out and have a nice home cooked dinner. This pub did just that, we had a really lovely steak and mushroom pie, mash and lots of veg. Would definately go again and would highly recommend.

Absolutely lovely meal great staff very polite definitely going back for a meal and drink again plus they have plenty of parking and a lovely beer garden

Went to the Yew tree Pub Hayling on 27 August 2021 order scampi and chips arrived cold an over cooked

We were a cycling group of 20 hungry people who arrived at 2pm. They served all 20 of us in very quick time (the first food coming out in 10 minutes). We didn't have anything special - sandwiches/ploughmans etc - but it was all fresh and excellently received. The gardens were lovely and the beer good. ALso, the staff were very attentive. Nothing but compliments from us

we stopped in here on our way out of Hayling Island. the pub is very dark and dingy. My wife and I both ordered the haddock and chips and we were very7 disappointed. The fish was like the type that you would buy from a supermarket and put in the oven on a baking tray. It was mainly batter and the fish inside was grey not white. the chips also tasted like they were oven chips. We would not recommend this place at all.

Have visited the Yew Tree a few times and generally had the various pie options. Unfortunately came to conclusion that they value quantity over quality.Was talked into visiting today as was Mother in Laws birthday and according to my better half she liked the place.Cut a long story short I had possibly the worst overpriced burger I have ever tasted. £11 for a burnt, dry and tasteless burger. Told who I assumed was the manager and got a blank look and absolutely no response.Last visit.

Good beer and reasonable hot food , sandwiches leave a lot to be desired so go for a main course. Service okay but we found it depends who you get at the bar , one good one miserable

Have been talking about trying the Yew Tree for Sunday roast for some time as the pub always looks busy so would assume the food was good. Big mistake. Having arrived early evening around 6pm the list of food unavailable was very long and there was only one roast dinner option, expected possibly due to the weather being nice and the fact that it's holiday season, however when we came to order we were told that what we had chosen was also not available, tried another option, again unavailable. Decided on two lamb roast dinners and were told there would be about a 30 minute wait. Totally okay for what we thought would be a nice roast dinner, however 30 minutes later the roast arrived. Tinned or possibly frozen veg microwaved, peas, carrots and green beans. Lamb you could not see on the plate for the thick stodgy gravy covering it. Very thin slices. The only time I have seen 'meat' like this is from microwave dinners/ packets of frozen meat and deep fried potatoes (yes deep fried), with no Yorkshire pudding. At the price they are charging it's attractive to holiday makers as it is slightly less expensive than some other local pubs, however what they are serving falls way below standard Sunday roasts so does not really warrant the £11 price tag

Spent the morning at the beach stopped for lunch . Husband had chicken ham & leak pie . I had ploughman’s . Food was amazing in both quality and portion . Will definitely be back again.

Really helpful staff and great pub food - tasty hot and reasonably priced! Vegetarians well catered for too. Nine of us are and all were impressed.

Hadn't booked a table but was welcomed in with our dog to have dinner. Food was great and the staff were lovely, a very nice garden outside at the back looked very inviting too. Car parking available.

Not wanting to sound too old school but the YT once again delivered great food, great service and somewhere to sit back and enjoy!

Nothing wrong with the pub, and a friendly barman just felt a little dated although we didn’t use it but the outdoor space looked great!

went there with friends on Sunday, the roast diner looking like it was all frozen food reheated and the pork was very salty, the Sheppard pie looked and tasted like a microwave meal from icelands, would not recommend this pub to eat, all food was microwave meals put onto a plate to look good, also all have been ill today.

This was a large and friendly pub with good Covid security and a large garden. Staff were friendly and welcoming. WE enjoyed our drink in the garden

Lovely pub, proper old school with great staff. Me and my friend had jacket potatoes...huge and lovely.

Worst ‘roast’ dinner ever.Popped in to the Yew Tree after a day at the beach. Really fancied a roast dinner and the pub looked nice. I’d much prefer to eat at an ‘independent’ as opposed to a Wetherspoons and the like so thought I’d give it a go.Firstly, I was unimpressed by the COVID measures. Or lack thereof. Was asked to sign a track and trace Register, with no sign that the pen was disinfected between users.Very few signs to encourage patrons to socially distance and no one sticking to the one way system, but I digress. Was handed a laminated menu, which again, I question whether it was sanitised.Saw a roast was on the menu for £10 so I was happy. My son, who wasn’t starving asked for a bowl of spaghetti. Seeing spaghetti bolognaise on the menu, I said ‘no problem’ Went to the bar to order. Was told the roast was pork... no choice on other meat but ok, hadn’t had pork for a while so why not! Asked for a bowl of plain spaghetti, no bolognaise, only to be told ‘oh, we can’t do that’ which obviously made me wonder how things were prepared if you can’t separate a bowl of spaghetti from a dollop of bologanaise!!! Food came out after about 10 mins (more alarm bells) and I was devastated. The meat was drowned in glutenous gravy. Lots of meat yes, but covered in a flavourless gravy. Disappointing. ‘Roast’ potatoes. Had not been roasted but fried in the deep fat fryer. Yuk.Tinned peas... grey and cooked to death, with no flavour. Carrots. Unpeeled and boiled within an inch of mush. Cabbage. Cooked fine but no flavour. Stuffing ball... just paxo and water. No actual sausage meat. I love a roast dinner and was utterly shocked by this. Truly awful. Left without eating most of it. Have come home and cooked myself something edible. Which I should have done in the first place and saved the money.Beautiful pub with great character but utterly utterly let down by their Sunday ‘roast’ Won’t be going back. Not even for a drink.

We came here after an afternoon out in Hayling with friends and our children, stopped at the Yew Tree after not wanting to wait for a table at another pub- so glad we came here! It's a traditional pub so no light and airy decor but the food was home cooked and delicious! I had the chicken, bacon and leek pie with chips, and my husband had the steak and mushroom pie. My four year old finished all of her spaghetti bolognese (high praise indeed!) and the other kids in the party really enjoyed their meals too. My friend ordered a salad and it looked epic! Well worth coming in for food if you like traditional pub grub. I'm still thinking about those chips....

The Yew Tree was a place I loved going to as a child so I was looking forward to going back with my own child and partner. We weren't sure if we needed to book, so took the risk and turned up. Most restaurants at the moment are explaining the processes and any changes they've made due to COVID, however there wasn't any of that when we walked in. We were just told to find a table. I was a little shocked when I asked for a highchair to be told they didn't have them. We have a 2 year old that had to sit on an adult chair, but could easily get out of the chair and kept climbing up onto the table making it quite stressful for us as parents. It wouldn't have been as bad if the kids park was open, but it was sectioned off, which confused me a little seeing as all the parks are now open. The food itself was nice, but I wouldn't come back here with my toddler again.

We went tonight for dinner as always been a favourite of ours Won’t be going back anytime soon I don’t think they got the memo about ‘social distancing’ *People queuing at the bar to order food and drink in the sane way as before Covid * No screens or PPE for bar staff * Children playing in the garden in the post area * Not one table was empty - inside or out Food was still good Just not a very Covid friendly pub

Delicious home cooked food with friendly, warm and welcoming staff. A lovely beer garden perfect for enjoying a drink on a summers day.The Yew Tree is a traditional pub with a homely feel - a perfect venue for a quick pint, a casual catch up with friends or a family meal out.Highly recommend this pub and particularly the triple layer chocolate fudge cake!

There was three of us sat at a table in the garden and we were just sat there talking and a member of staff who we believe is called shamy decided to take the youngest member of our groups drink away as he is only 17 at the time of writing this and made horrible comments as he walked off bearing in mind he had a meal in front of him too so it was totally legal as one of the adults with us brought it for him so there was nothing wrong with him having it and it was only half as well honestly felt like there was no need for the comments made and hope next time we go (if there is a next time) hope the manager speaks to the member that served us and hope he has better attitude towards the younger customs at the pub next time

Stopped for a pub lunch. The staff were friendly, the food was ok and quickly served. However the pub was rather old fashioned and needed ‘a face lift’ and some tlc. Where in the 21C are you only allowed to pay for anything with cash only too!!

Stopped for early evening dinner with kids, first sign should have been that I needed to go to the local cash point as no cards accepted, I mean time to come out of the dark ages.I have had better burgers at a market, and my kids pizza was an ice land basic which managed to be cremated. Not recommended.

Lovely dog friendly pub. Excellent food and a very warm welcome. Perfect for a family meal. We always try to visit here after a trip down to Hayling Island .

Having eaten at the Yew Tree with my husband and friends I decided to bring the group of elderly people along from the club I run in Fareham, there were 15 of us. The speacial of soup, roast beef and mince pie and custard was really popular but not for all, others choose , prawn salad, steak and kidney pudd, liver and bacon, scampi and sandwiches , most had a pudd. All of the elderly people were treated like VIPs , the food and service was excellent. How this pub manages to offer so many choices is beyond me , we have never had a poor meal here . Please keep up the good work, we will be back, such a lovely place.

Been using The Yew Tree Pub for about 15 years now, GOOD BEER - GOOD FOOD, Bill the land lord and his lovely staff, will make you WELCOME, dog friendly. Only Problem for some, Pub is CASH ONLY, But well worth it Carol in the kitchen doe's some great home cooked meals, try it and see, I am sure you will NOT be disappointed, it also has a POOL TABLE, Happy eating

We have now eaten here three times over the last few weeks , the food has been exceptional on each occasion, we've had sandwiches, fish & chips, salads and today we had chicken & chips served with gravy and 3 different types of veg and steak and kidney pudd served with the same veg as the chicken, everything was piping hot and delicious, the menu board is extensive so much to choose from and nothing is expensive. A real must !! just remember its cash only or else you will be very disappointed.

This is a must for all the family, great food, great prices (cash only as with many other establishments on the island) great food, great service and staff. Going again this weekend.

Started badly by someone 'abandoning' their car in the middle of the busy car park, so it made parking for everyone else very difficult....extremely selfish....Eventually parked only to go in to find they only accept cash, which no-one carries these days.So waste of time.Maypole were very accommodating and we had a pleasant meal there paid for on a card.

This is a proper traditional pub much loved by our family for some time. The gardens are extensive and the resident pig a definite bonus for us when visiting with young ones .... the menu is extensive and the salads (in my opinion) are the best available on Hayling. Everything is priced very reasonably and you always feel value for money ... just one helpful thing they've always been 'cash only' which we know and are prepared for.

Not much to say about it except we're very unlikely to return. Dark and dingy surroundings, dirty tables and two large dogs, one of which we were warned was very nervous and to approach with caution, lying in front of the menu boards. Further put off by the pub only taking cash with a limp explanation that the card machine signal was poor on the island. Strange that everywhere else we went accepted our debit cards without problems. The food, a salad, a lamb shank and a minced beef pie just acceptable but nothing we could say was worth going back for or recommending to others. Would have given it 2* but the extra was for the pleasant waitresses.

Life saver as when we visited a local Tapas bar on a Sunday evening after booking we were informed that meal service is not on Sundays, tried the Barley Mow but kitchen was closed. The Maypole was closed so in desperation tried the Yew Tree circa 20.30 to find the restaurant served till 21.00, what a relief. The whole pub is adorned with old antiquated amusing items and the food was very good. Thank you as this was a lovely end to the evening.

Lovely little pub only had sandwiches but we went there 2 days running as it was nice sitting in the shade in the garden. My only criticism is they only take cash, no credit or debit cards for some reason.

A really old fashion, traditional pub with a nice Beer garden and PIGS in a sty! The food is really good and the staff are helpful and friendly

Stop here for lunch to be greated at the door by a sign, Cash Only.....who carries cash these day, went to The Maypole instead.

Called in for lunch and had a mixed cheese ploughman's and a ham ploughman's.Both were excellent.Staff polite and friendly.Only downside,cash only.Drinks a bit expensive but an excellent pint of beer,which was well worth the price.Would use again if in the area.

A previous reviewer says it all really ('Take it or leave it'). Unpretentious pub – rather gloomy interior looks to be unchanged for years (and cleaned only slightly more often?)

Lovely atmosphere and great service. We didn’t eat but the food looked amazing. The beer garden is large and has the benefit of an aviary and pigs!!

Seems a nice, local, friendly pub with good food, from the smell. Very Olde World with quite dated furnishings, but nice garden with animals and birds. Ladies loo definitely needs refurb!

Approached this pub but had to turn away as there was a sign on the door saying they don't accept debit or credit cards. I find it amazing that a hospitality business operating in 2019 expects people to still carry enough cash to be able to pay for drinks and meals for the evening. Investing in a card machine would result in an influx of customers for this backward thinking establishment.

this is an ok pub that's serves good wholesome food with very little style and a take it or leave it attitude, they only take cash, you have to order and pay for your food at the bar. 4 main courses were ordered and two were rated good and two were rated ok, the roast pork and the game pie were good, the two lamb chop dinners were ok with the chops being rated as a bit tough and chewy, two spotted dicks were ok .the roast potatoes were excellent

A regular watering hole, this place has never failed us. Very quaint, but surprisingly good food.Get there early on Sundays as it is very popular. One thing to remember is that it is Cash only!

Have been to this pub many times while visiting relatives on Hayling. Great traditional pub with good traditional food. Do not expect anything posh and you will be fine. Good value for money, the food always tastes great and there is a good menu to please every one's different taste's even vegetarians.

We had a lovely cooked meal, chicken , fish and chips and meat puddings they were all fresh and delicious , large portions . The pub is old world with dozens of gozunders (chamber pots) . Lovely lunch , the bonus there are animals and birds in an aviary in the garden . Lovely for children . The only drawback is they only take cash

We found the pub welcoming and had a great night. As the other reviews said watch out you need cash with you.

Took my family here . well tried too , asked die they have a table for 4 Adults and 4 children , The lady behind the bar Immediate pipe up WE DO NOT HAVE ANY HIGH CHAIRS HERE PLUS THERE IS AN OPEN FIRE YOU WILL HAVE TO KEEP AN EYE ON THE KIDS , WALKED OUT THOUGHT MISERABLE OLD BUGGER no attempt to make us feel welcomed Not children Friendly at all.

Having read recent reviews we went here apprehensively only to be very pleasantly surprised.

My husband and I went there for lunch on my birthday We had the best Haddock ever, it was in a crisp thin beer batter and as white as the driven snow

Good ales beers and largers ,big menu,typical pub grub , very satisfying , lovely garden , and animals

The yew tree at hayling island is a warm friendly inn. A good selection of beers, wines,and spirits and a great food menu to choose from at reasonable prices,it also has a very nice beer garden. Highly recommended.

The Yew Tree is a lovely quaint pub /restaurant. The menu is huge and is written on a board. No menus on the tables so you have to stand up and decide what you are going to have. My meal was good and the size of it, large. You definitely won't leave hungry. Prices are average. The main downside is no credit cards, cash only.

We went back to this pub after 15 years and found the food was good but the tables were still sticky, and many bulbs were needing replacing in the lamps, with so many ornaments on shelves and it being quite dark in places it looks like the place could do with a good spring clean, there was too much to choose from on the menu, it could be made much simpler, but the food was ok.

Great place, if you want traditional old fashioned pub with great food, good for family's with a great garden

The pub is nicely situated & looks very inviting from the outside, your stereotypical ‘country pub’. A large car park & garden at the rear with some animals at the back of the garden, pigs & birds from what I saw. Upon entering the pub it was clear that cleanliness wasn’t high on the list of priorities, the place is need of some major renovation, the toilets were horrible, very smelly, not somewhere you would want to visit pre dinner. We had booked. Not necessary, there were plenty of free tables. Dinner is ordered & paid for in advance. Be warned CASH ONLY . They do not accept credit or debit cards, very odd in this day & age. I ordered the sirloin steak & my partner the chicken korma, there’s. nothing flash on the menu, just what appears to be good, home cooked familiar dishes. My partners korma arrived, it was not korma, it tasted like a very poor attempt at homemade either that or sweet & sour sauce which had added coconut milk, we weren’t sure, asked but couldn’t get a clear answer. The steak was standard pub grub, 8oz, chips, peas, mushroom, tomato etc, it was however cooked perfectly, otherwise I would have given a 1 star review. We ordered sweets, bread & butter pudding & syrup sponge, these were just about ok but had clearly been microwaved to with an inch of their life possibly with the custard at the same time as this was bubbling on the plate as it arrived. On a rather negative note my partner was very ill later that evening and has put it down to the korma and given the state of the pub’s front of house I can only wonder what back of house is like. Go have a beer in the lovely garden, avoid the food.

7 people and 2 border collies. We had lovely meal in the garden with lots of space around us. Children blissfully happy in the play area and watching the pigs etc. No hurry, served hot fresh food - not gourmet but family food for everyone. We had to pool our resources as cash only but would recommend a visit, whatever the weather.

First of all you need to be aware that they only accept cash in the pub.

Looks lovely pub....great beer garden. Food crap! Had burger and it was literally a think burger in a plan roll (no butter or salad garnish) and a slice of processed cheese. Mac cheese was awful...processed sauce! Didn't eat it and would not go back. Its a shame because it looks so promising from the outside.

Greeting of "You'll have to hurry" was followed by "No, we don't take cards" --- followed by rapid exit, ghastly.

Stopped off with a friend on leaving Hayling island. Presentable enough and very cosy inside. Surprised by the "cash only" sign as many people only use cards these days. Ordered 2 cheese ploughmans but got 1 cheese and 1 ham. Generous enough but the food was fairly average. Price was fair. No menus available on tables so had to choose via the large chalk board on the wall. Ladies toilets were very small and the available soap was well in need of changing.

Leaking roof - water went on my husband's t-shirt (he mentioned it to them and they said they knew about the leaking roof)!!! Water leaking above one of the lights, which is dangerous.

My family and I stopped by the Yew Tree on Sunday 27th May, on our way home from Hayling Island. The staff are friendly and very helpful. The facilities itself could do with a spruce but if you look past that you will have a lovely meal!!

Having eaten here last October and had a reasonable meal, I had no hesitation on paying a return visit. However of our 2 meals one was totally inedible. The lasagne had obviously been reheated and was rock hard. My Haddock and Chips was perfectly acceptable. A near bye diner complained that her chicken was 'cold in some places and hot in others'. We both received a refund with no quibbling.

My husband and I have eaten here a few times now. The staff are very friendly and the food is good home cooked food, at a reasonable price. Don't be put off by the decor which is tired and in need of updating. Make sure you have cash on you as they don't take card payments

Standard of food excellent with decent portions. Staff friendly and welcoming. Just ensure you have cash as there is no card payments.

Have eaten here many times standard of food very good always hot and decent portions. Always friendly staff.

Don’t be put off by the outside on a rainy day! It’s a lovely pub. Calm, quiet and a locals pub. Generous portions and perfectly good food. Proper wooden tables and chairs. Nice open fire and warm throughout.
