The best restaurants in Hayling East Havant South East

Made booking for dinner on website last night for tonght . Got confirmationof booking this morning. . Arrived there. Got jumped at the bar first off, then announced we had a table booked for 8pm. Girl behind bar asked 'do we not know about the food situation?'. Obviously not!! They had no chef! She asked when we had booked, so I told her. She offered no explanation! She did how ever offer that we could order from the chip shop or Chinese next door and eat it in there! Not quite what we had planned. Why were we not informed by email or phone? Eventually found somewhere else to eat.

Good beer, dartboard and a pool table, a few yards from the beach. What more could you want.

The roasts here are delightful and portion sizes are also very generous yet still inexpensive. The bartender (possibly the owner) seems grumpy but is actually very accommodating and friendly once interacted with. The location is a shame since it leads straight out on to the road but that is no fault of theirs. They also don't seem to accept card payments. Highly recommended for a wholesome, homemade family roast.

Delicious..fast delivery...pleasant chap..wish it was nearer home!

Night friendly pub with coastal view but over priced for what you get! Puds at £13 taking it a bit too far. Service friendly bit slow. Wouldn't rush back!

Cycled the Hayling Billy track and ended up here. Field Intelligence revealed ( I asked a couple of nice pensioners :) ) the excellent Mike's cafe. There is umbrella shaded bench seating in the front and a small enclosed rear patio. There are numerous secure cycle stands on the pavement. Coffee was good - nice touch with a little biscuit. Mrs P, who knows about such matters, informed me that the cheese scone was the best she had ever had. This cost me; as she then insisted on a Madri Spanish style beer - 'to wash it down'. Mike was a nice chap. Thank you.

A great selection of ice-cream to be had. Well worth the train journey from the other end just to get one of these. They have 56 different flavours of Ice Cream. It is very popular, so can get busy, but it is worth it.

My takeaway haddock and chips for two was awful: soggy and tasteless batter, with chips that, however plentiful, were insufficiently hot and crisp. I shan't go to The Coastguard again and I advise others to do likewise.

Chips clearly reheated from the night before. Only spent a minute in the fryer before they were served. Tasted like it too.

There staff are very busy and hardworking the food always comes out hot/warm they have a waiting area on the main entrance door they have a menu and opening times

A great little spot for a very good cup of coffee and a snack. Has a little group of picnic tables. The price for the coffee is reasonable.

Called there one evening to watch the football. We sat down in front of the tv ready to watch the game along with other customers. The game started, but there was no sound from the tv, instead there was music playing. I asked at the bar if we could hear the tv, but was told they couldn’t do that as it encourages loud behaviour!! I found this staggering as it wasn’t exactly the quietest pub anyway, we passed this place 2 days earlier and you karaoke been played from here all around the village!!As we couldn’t enjoy the game we decided to leave.

The royal chef recently changed hands and the difference is quite obvious, cheap frozen chips , sweet and sour king prawn with a couple of solid inedible prawns , beef and mushroom dish with very gristly meat, this would have been £32 if not for the 20% discount but at £26 it’s not cheap to eat below par food .

This has gone downhill since the fire.used to get a lovely jacket potato with salad. Now they never seem to have any salad.the potato was very dry and as such I couldn't eat it. The tables were dirty,food on the floor and the seats needed a good brush and scrub. Drab and very outdated now. There is a toilet ,but my god, it can't if been cleaned in months. I'm afraid we won't be coming back. We hoped it would improve over the last couple of years but sadly not.staff were more interested in having their lunch than cleaning. No wonder there was only one other couple in there when we visited.

First time visiting with my family and can't complain. Great service and value when using the kids eat for a £1.
