The Pub

An old style pub in the heart of Havant

The Robin Hood sits on Homewell, a back street opposite the church in the heart of Havant. The sign in the bar says it plainly: the only real pub left in Havant, with Fuller’s cask ales, Gales country wines and a great atmosphere.

Inside it is all beams, dark wood and a fireplace, with red gingham seats along the wall and hand pumps lined up on the bar. There are two televisions for the sport, a dart board that gets plenty of use, and a pergola-covered garden out the back for warmer days.

Regulars describe it as a place to chat and have some down time. It is a taste of the country in the middle of a busy town, and dogs are welcome.

The Garden

A sheltered garden in the middle of town

Picnic tables under a timber pergola, climbing greenery on the old brick walls and barrels full of flowers through the summer. Bikes lean against the wall and the guest ales are chalked up by the door.
