poor service

I used to work here many years ago and it clearly has not changed. The management employ rude bar staff who tell you to down your pint or drink in public 2 minutes after 'no more orders' and the standards are as low as ever. The kitchens were always dirty and from the occasional glimpses they still are. As a previous comment suggest all food was frozen, the haddock and cod is also the same thing. The only difference when served is that the lemon is put on top of whichever is destined to be a haddock This is because its too hard to tell which frozen fish is which in the dirty fryer oil. I do not wish to comment on how your crab meat gets to your plate.I will not be returning that's for sure. Its such a shame as i use to be able to trust a sealed keg of beer and now due to poor service, a bad attitude and incompetent staff, i no longer will. Regards.

The Haven Inn has a great location on Mudeford Quay...

The Haven Inn has a great location on Mudeford Quay. The inside is small and dark, in a cosy pleasant old pub sort of way. There is lots of outside seating, from where you can view the crabbing, the Isle of Wight, and generally people watch. It can be a trifle windy outside thought, so choose you day for lunch wisely! The food is fine and reasonably priced. A good choice for a summer pub lunch.

Nice place to go anytime of year. Lots of seating outside with lots of stuff going on around. Gets busy on a weekend but service is good. Nice menu with good selection of food.

Great setting on Mudeford Quay where you can watch the world go by. Popular with all sorts of people and big picnic table area outside but can be windy! The pub is small inside but cosy on winters day with the fires going. Good pub grub with lots of seafood. Welcome pint for walkers and lets dogs inside.
