Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Sunday Lunch - They were booked until 1430, so took that slot. We were given a very friendly welcome by the staff. We ordered the Roast Beef lunch which was very tasty. The meal included beef, Yorkshire pudding, honey roasted parsnips, carrots, swede and roast...potatoes. The roast potatoes were spot on, crispy on the outside and floury in the middle. On the side was also cauliflower, green beans and broccoli. We would have still been happy without the side of other veg as there was a lot to eat without it. Plenty of gravy also and horseradish came along without having to ask or wait. We ended up staying and played cards by the fire for the rest of the late afternoon. Such a relaxing afternoon. Will be going back for sure.More

Well there was a surprise. Popped in for a cheeky breakfast. The double (2 eggs, 2 bacon, 2 sausages 2 hash brown) with fresh tomatoes, mushrooms and toast. Comes in at £11.95. Bit of a wait for the breakfast to be served. However, it was...worth the wait. The food was all hot. The tomatoes were cooked through. The eggs were cooked with care. The sausages are from Treagus the local butcher, so we’re a good quality. Davina served with a pleasant smile and attitude. Overall. A good breakfast. Good value for the quantity of the food used.More

A traditional pub with very welcoming staff and a great selection beers. In the words of my husband "a pint of proper coloured well kept bitter". We have visited Emsworth numerous times and sad we only discovered this pub today. We willbe back.

I can not remember such a warm friendly welcome to a stranger for years! I had pre-booked (telephone) a table for six accompanied by a dog. Having been shown our table, one of the staff promptly produced a handful of biscuits with a water bowl;...thoughtful. The food was excellent, with large(ish) portions of unpretentious pub grub. Excellent London Pride and HSB on tap, and the Cornish Orchard’s cider hit the mark! Unfortunately, the persistent rain prevented relaxing in the charming garden overlooking Slipper Pond and the River Ems, the vibrant atmosphere though more than compensated for this. We were allowed to run up a tab, (fortuitous with the final tally!) and were under no pressure to vacate the table. The Lord Raglan public house is unique. No fruit machines flashing away, no piped music drowning conversation. Incredibly polite and amusing staff coupled with genial locals. Try it..!More

I think this has to be the most friendliest pub i have ever been to! It was a wet and windy afternoon and I was staying locally with my mother and 2 young nieces. We stopped at the Lord Raglan to dry off and the...welcome we received could not have been more friendly. From the bar staff to the locals! It has a lovely atmosphere and felt like a 'proper' pub! We enjoyed it so much we returned the next day for a couple of pre dinner drinks. Thank you to Tommy and the other bar staff! Keep doing what you're doing! The world needs more pubs like The Lord Raglan!More

I have visited this pub when I am staying with my son in Emsworth. It is a real community pub with an eclectic mix of customers of all ages. There is often live entertainment especially on Friday evenings. The staff are always friendly and efficient...with the new management of 6 months turning the trade around successfully. The pub is open for breakfast between 7am and 11am every day. I have had the breakfast twice and it is well worth it with good quantity, quality and price. There is a good choice of ales that are well maintained. At the rear of the pub is a large south facing garden down to the water with plenty of seating. I am looking forward to returning to The Lord Raglan.More

Popped in for Sunday lunch and a pint,what a gem of a pub Clearly more a local than targeting moneyed visitors and all the better for it It had a fire lovely Not sure if the woman that greeted us the landlord or not, either...way it was a lovely friendly welcome that made us feel relaxed right away It's a fullers pub and the London pride was served spot on. SUNDAY lunch or basket meals today Had medium sized Beef and small chicken , potatoes were brilliant , both came with Yorkshire and stuffing, veg, today was cauliflower cheese, carrots broccoli,steamed cauliflower and cabbage. Only minor criticism gravy could have been thicker , but I realise that is personal taste. Cost was really reasonable. Wish we could have stayed longer , we will be back !More

Had lunch here with friends on Good Friday. New owners from just before Christmas so I guess this was their first sunny lunch and it was pretty busy. The food is classic pub grub, burgers, lasagne, jacket potatoes etc and all at very reasonable prices.....We'll definitely be back.More

I was meeting a friend at the Lord Raglan, he was running laterso I went in on my own which is not always a nice experience in a village pub. This pub is different though, I was welcomed as I approached the bar and the...barman (the viking) started conversation with me and I felt welcome straight away, within a couple of minutes I was completely involved in the chat and banter and felt like I was a regular. A really welcoming pub with a great atmosphere.More
