Bars in Romsey

“Did the roast beef on Sunday 30/03/2025. The roast beef when piled together was the same size as one roast potato. Absolute rip off. Great staff, lovely venue, children's portions.”

“Lovely locals pub with great beer garden.

Well advertised bands listed for both Friday and Saturday nights”

“This experience set us on a quest to stay in more Coaching Inn Group hotels. We’ve since been to those in Romsey and Welshpool.

Rooms: Well upgraded except they need proper double glazing.”

“This was not our first choice of venue, but we would definitely go again. The food was well cooked and lovely, the atmosphere was really relaxed. The staff were very polite, attentive, and helpful! ?”

“We had originally planned to dine elsewhere, but we’re so glad our evening had taken us to The Bear & Ragged Staff. We hadn’t made a reservation and the staff were quick to seat us. The staff were all so lovely and very friendly. The service was brilliant. And the food, the food was absolutely beautiful! When it came to ordering puddings, my in-laws went for ice cream. As a joke my partner suggested to jazz up their ice creams. We were not disappointed at all, their plain ice creams came out with a variety of fresh berries and strawberry sauce too. That, had absolutely made our evening. Thank you to all the staff at The Bear & Ragged Staff, we’re looking forward to dining again with you very soon.”

“Really good roast, loved the beef. Good service, friendly people and a nice atmosphere.
Great for kids, lots of stuff to do. Fin (10yrs old)”

“Beautiful quintessential pub in Romsey! Loving the quaintness of this English town in Hampshire. The staff and owners are an absolute delight and very welcoming. A beautiful location to enjoy an afternoon beverage and meal. Happy to make a cocktail as long as you know the recipe they will accommodate if they have ingredients.”

“Here last night for a team meal and had such a great experience. The service was excellent from start to finish — the staff were so friendly and welcoming, which really made the evening. The atmosphere was relaxed and cosy, perfect for catching up with everyone. Food and drinks came out promptly, and it felt like nothing was too much trouble. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a pub with genuine hospitality and a lovely vibe. We’ll be back!”

“First time eating here. The wife and I both had a turkey, ham and leak pie and it was delicious and the daughter had burger and chips which she enjoyed. Took awhile to come out but was worth the wait. Downside was the group of lads, one in particular, talking and swearing loudly, totally unnecessary with children in earshot.”

“Been 3 times now for Sunday roast and must say it’s amazing food really tasty with good selection of fresh vegetables and service is tiptop well done”
