The Havelock Tavern - (Near , South East)

4 /5 Pip Ryan: This is a lovely pub. It is very friendly. The vibe is relaxed and welcoming. The service was excellent. We both ordered the fish and chips. My husbands was fine. Unfortunately, my fish was cooked in oil that was not hot enough to crisp the batter. It was soggy and unappetising. The chips were perfect. The serving of my glass of wine was quite scant in light of the hefty price tag for a sauvignon blanc.

5 /5 Lisa Bagshaw: We were a large group of 16 and we received exceptional service, our waiter was friendly and efficient. We pre booked our meals which added to an effective service. When the food arrived absolutely blown away by the beautifully presented meals. This was then topped by incredible taste and flavour of every meal. Can’t recommend enough, as you will not be dissapointed

5 /5 Puja Rana: Went with our kids for a Sunday roast. They have a kids size portion for the roast! The service was amazing and friendly and the space is rustic and really lovely. Food was good- not the best roast Ive had but was still very good. Cute neighborhood too!

5 /5 Susan Dolan: This was our first visit and would definitely return. The food was delicious, all 3 of us had the cheeseburger and fries. We also had a sticky toffee pudding and chocolate moose bomb, all of which were tasty and good value. We were lucky enough to be served by Alfie who is an absolute credit to the business. He was so friendly and engaging, a joy to chat with. The gentleman behind the bar was welcoming too. A great, cosy atmosphere.

5 /5 Won Ko: When I was planning my trip to London, I was searching for a place with a great fish and chip. I came across this place, and its good rating and review of the dish made me want to go. The iconic cobalt blue tile wall exterior caught my eye from the outside. Several people were sitting outdoors with beers, and I saw strollers with babies. That cued me that this was more of a local restaurant. Intrigued by the outdoor space, I went in and was welcomed by the beautiful interior. It was quiet and empty, but it was also earlier in the day. The cream wall juxtaposed to the sea blue was pleasant and aquatic, giving it the island country vibe. It was met with dimmed lighting, wooden furniture, a fireplace with chopped logs next to it, and other objects that told stories. There was a backyard where people could sit down (see video), but we decided to sit indoors to hide from the blazing sun. It felt like I was in a fairy tale, though I am sure many people in London find this interior a normal part of their lives. We ordered two beers, a London Pilsner that the bartender or owner had recommended, and a cider of some sort (I cannot remember the name), along with a Scotch egg and fish and chips. The beers, though fine, did not particularly stand out. Perhaps I was anticipating something mind blowingly different for my first London experience, leaving me wanting more. The Scotch egg was great; it was nice to try a food that I have never tried before. Meat covering an egg then deep fried? What is not to love about it! The fish and chips was a tad disappointing. It lacked flavor, which was probably why they gave three sauces, and tasted a bit earthy or muddy. I think I was expecting a well seasoned fish situation instead of having to put sauce on it. The chips that came with it, on the other hand, were hot and crispy, which was great. The bathroom was big, but I almost hurt my ankle with a misstep (though I think there was a sign), so I would be careful. With great service and ambiance, I am confident their other dishes would be equally great. I would happily return to try more of their food; it truly felt like a nice place to be, and I will certainly be back.
