The best restaurants serving British food in St Faith's Havant South East

In the middle of the Meridian Centre is this lovely oasis of peace and quiet. Very restful and unhurried. Plenty f time to read the paper, wait for a friend with no danger of being hurried out the door. Why would you rush when the food is so good?

The food was superb and 1st class polite service we couldn’t fault anything would highly recommend, a little hidden gem

Good lunch, friendly table service.

Lovely themed cafe in Havant. Close to the shopping centre in a quiet location. Takes you back to the 1940s during WWII when the past generations of the Great Britain really knew what hard times were about! Tea and food is good quality and reasonably priced but it’s the lovely staff that make it. Definitely worth a visit.

Quiet pub for older persons

Having previously had a good experience, my 90 year old mum and I went for lunch. We ordered prawn salads with falafel and humus from the menu. The last two items were missing on our plates, but when queried we were told that nobody ordered those so they didn't have any! We asked for an alternative and were given half a slice of bread each! I then found a hair in my salad, but when I reported this, I was told that the kitchen staff had dark hair so it wasn't theirs! I was too stunned to reply! Then I was told we couldn't expect a refund, because the hair wasn't theirs. I explained we didn't want a refund, just an apology. Never again!

Staff are so brilliant and helpful and are.so.attentive for your needs and it seems that nothing is to much for them Adam the owner is always smiling and willing to move tables around if the group is larger than 4 and j would defo recommend this cafe to anyone in havant . It is situated right opposite the havant park and is next door to iceland

This nice, friendly well run café, that we visit when we can, proved today that the staff are willing to go that extra mile when something's not quite right by doing everything they could to resolve the situation, this involved a refund which was organised without so much as a quibble, and their sense of fair play has ensured that we will be back. You cannot fault them especially the lovely manageress. 10/10 every time.

it was very good and i enjoyed it it was a good day out and the meal was very good. The sausage cheese bean slice was excellent. the staff are very polite and helpful.

Me and my party went here for Christmas Day lunch, from arrival we were greeted show to our table , drinks , the service was amazing, the food was gorgeous, especially the baked Alaska, well done to the kitchen staff for a great Christmas dinner and to all the waitresses/waiters for making our Christmas Day lunch special, Great communication with the manager, for asking any questions for the day 👍, Would recommend this Thank you 👏👏👏

Love that dogs are welcome and there's a doggy menu too!

Only purchased drinks when visiting The Ship

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.

A real gem. Lovely tasty food and a big selection of alcohol free drinks including gins and beers & mocktails. Which is great to see because not everyone drinks alcohol. Had a lovely evening and the service was fantastic, friendly helpful staff. Will be returning.

Usually busy . I've been several times recently as I like the atmosphere. Good prices, quick service.
