The Foresters Arms Bar, Pub in Gosport

Reviews

1. Justin Pearce ★★★★★

   The best pub in Gosport. Karaoke twice a week. The best people with a friends atmosphere.

   Edit. In response to the reply from The Foresters Arms. I didn't want to type a paragraph about this place as I try not to leave negative feedback unless it's a really bad experience. Your pub is not the best and your staff are rude, hence 1 star. Despite most of my reviews being in Leeds, I did recently visit friends in Gosport. Unfortunately, we chose your less than fine establishment. Don't worry, it won't happen again. Here's a tip. If you get upset with negative feedback, try doing better or take yourself off Google. Leaving sarcastic assumptions in response to reviews not to your taste is in bad taste. Do better.

   If I could leave zero stars I would. Please don’t eat here if you have had bariatric surgery. You will be met with ignorance and an unsympathetic establishment. I had bariatric surgery two years ago for health reason where I had 80% of my stomach removed. This means that I can only eat half a children’s meal. I have never been denied having this option and I feel that I am not ripping any restaurant off by choosing a meal I can sort of manage. I was not happy that when I asked for a children’s meal and the reason why, I was met with an undecrerionary No. We were a party of 5 and spent a good amount of money, so didn’t see that we were ripping off a business. I of course put a complaint to receive this reply two weeks later after I prompted them on their Facebook page Dear Marshalla Firstly let me apologise for the late reply but I have been extremely busy and as such have not been able to keep up with the admin side of the business. I am disappointed that you left unhappy however we maintain our policy that adults must pay the adult price for any meals you could of course have had a smaller portion but you did not want to pay the adult price as is your choice . If you recall we are very busy on a Sunday which is why we currently only offer Roasts, salads or Pizzas this will change when the outside kitchen is operational at this point we hope to be able to offer basket type meals that may be more suitable for you. In answer as to why we would curtesy check your table when you had chosen not to eat then again it is our policy to ensure everyone is happy with the food they are presented with in order to ensure they enjoy their meals your party conveyed they were happy with their food . Max our manager was of course not happy that you had chosen not to eat anything but as you were not prepared to pay for an adult meal and did not want a pizza, salad or pay for an adult roast she was unable to accommodate you. I am unsure as to why you feel we should sympathise with you as to your predicament was entirely your own making. Julie Daniels I have never in the two and a half years been treated like this. The experience left me in tears. Well done Julie and your team. Next time( there won’t be) I’ll be sure to order and pay for a £20 meal only to eat a fifth of.

   Never again. Went in during the week several times our money was greatly accepted no one in, was passing Saturday about 10 pm thought we would pop in doors were locked managed to get in as another customer came out got to the bar and were told couldn't be served because it was after 10 pm and we weren't in prior. Spoke to the landlord he clarified this was his policy/decision. I can't believe pubs are still picking and choosing customers at wasn't really that busy either. Disgraceful.

   Great local pub. Nice beers and you can take your dog in there too. That's makes a big difference.

   It was alright. Not blown away, just a standard local pub. Reasonable priced drinks, got busy for karaoke too. Definitely more one for local regulars though rather than visitors unless you're bringing friends.
