Best Lunch Restaurants in Emsworth

Very nice restaurant, to which we will return (again as a 2), but... as a minor niggle... 3 hours for 3 courses is rather long, and whilst we welcomed the slow-pace, and the chance to chat, other tables seemed to be rather quiet... perhaps having less to talk about, so... perhaps courses could come out a teeny bit quicker?

Great food and service at a fair price This place is consistently good

Took a friend to lunch and we had a fabulous time. It felt like we were the only ones there. Good place for gossip. Good food and a good selection of wines.

Things did not get off to a great start on a few counts: 1 - The table had a QR code for menu and ordering at the table. But upon using this, the website did not respond. I went to the bar and raised this with a waitress and she said, "yes, sometimes we turn that off", which makes no sense. Why would you just turn that feature off? 2 - So I ordered drinks at the bar in person, and they did not materialise. I went back to the bar after 10-15 mins to query this, and I had to give my order again. I think there may have been a new-starter there, and we all have to learn somewhere, so I did not give them a hard time over this. 3 - The guy taking my food order asked if I wanted to run a tab, which I did as knew we'd order more drinks. But then a waitress said that they don't do tabs, there was some discussion and it was deemed I was not able to run a tab. That's pretty ridiculous to be honest, if you're voluntarily disabling the QR code self-service, then not allowing customers to run a tab, it's just causing customer inconvenience. After this, things picked up and our food orders were taken promptly, the food arrived in a reasonable time, and the food turned out to be pretty good. Putting aside the new starter matter - as it would be unfair to mark the place down due to a training item - the service re. the QR code self-service and not running a tab needs resolving, but other than that, this was a pretty good experience and all of us enjoyed our food and had a nice evening.

Gorgeous pub, staff lovely. Only criticism is the lunch menu. Be nice to have some low carb options , nice salads. Sunday lunch is the best
