The Robin Hood has a new GM. Louise and her AGM Kira. Both are absolutely fantastic and really make you feel welcome. Their team all work well together to make the pub a great place to visit. A massive thank you to them all for making our Christmas Day really special. Xxx

The Bear Hotel, situated on the north side of East Street a stone's throw from the centre of this red-brick Georgian settlement - made prosperous by the sale of Parchment and Watercress - is probably the most distinguished and historic place to eat, drink and spend the night in the south Hampshire market town of Havant. Indeed, none other than His Grace the First Duke of Wellington, victor of the Battle of Waterloo, stayed here in 1820 when he visited Havant in order to open the first permanent wooden bridge which linked nearby Hayling Island to the rest of England. The large entrance from what was once the main trunk road linking Southampton to Dover, and the extensive back yard (now used for car parking) confirm that The Bear is the sole survivor of Havant's two, 18th Century Coaching Inns, the other - The Antelope - having been demolished to make way for a dull, 1960's shopping precinct. The Bear is a dog-friendly, 42-bedroom hotel owned by the Greene King Inns pub chain. Their usual range of draught and bottled beers (including my personal favourite, Old Speckled Hen) are on offer in the cosy public bar,, where a roaring log fire welcomes visitors during the colder months of the year. The Dinner Menu includes such old favourites as Slow-Cooked Lamb Shank with Buttered Mash (or even Chips!) for GBP 20:50, or - if you prefer - Beef and Ale Pie with Broccoli and Mash for GBP 14:00. There is an extensive and reasonably-priced wine list, including such gems as Picpoul de Pinet from the south of France for GBP 22:49 per bottle, but the Reds, Whites and Rose's are also sold by the glass in small, medium and large portions. There are a couple of 3-Pin, 240 Volt power sockets in the Public Bar and wireless internet access, although not especially fast, is free-of-charge. The bar staff are, as always, models of friendliness and helpfulness.

We had a family Sunday for a table of 11. Never been before and a beautiful looking place. Arrived 10 minutes early but seated straight away which was great as we had young hungry children with us. This unfortunately was where the good service ended. Sat quite near the waitress station and till we were in prime vision for multiple members of staff (of which there were a lot) and they walked past our table regularly. However we had to ask at every stage… please can we order drinks, please can we order food, please can we look at the dessert menu etc… Even when we asked for the dessert menu they didn’t clear the plates which had sat empty for some time. We didn’t feel particularly wanted and more like an inconvenience. The food itself was ok, never one for high hopes for a mass produced roast I was pleasantly surprised although for the price it’s quite small and ideally would’ve been slightly warmer. Desserts again were not particularly hot but ok. Having not been asked if we wanted more drinks than the original first order we sat with empty glasses for some time. Leisurely is good, but attentive it wasn’t which was a real shame. Not sure we’d rush back.

Really disappointing - and very expensive for the quality they are serving up. We came here after reading good reviews, when we arrived the car park was quite empty on a Saturday night and we should have taken that as a sign. The food is very expensive and incredibly overpriced for the quality - dry and not fresh fish & greasy chips. We left almost a £100 lighter and feeling very disappointed - we could have spent half of this and been more satisfied elsewhere. I would suggest avoiding.

Work Christmas evening meal. Very warm welcome and great staff. Traditional pub food, scampi, ham egg & chips, lamb, guineafowl, cottage pie. Veggie option of mushroom, leek & lentil cottage pie was very tasty. Came with carrots and brocoli on the side which were disappointing. Carrots scraped, brocoli yellowing and on the turn so didn't eat. Honey Hill is a very quiet, dark country road and the pub is about half way down. It has a large carpark. It's in a residential area not near anything else.
