Emsworth, Hampshire · 18th Century Inn

The only waterside pub in Emsworth

Backing right onto the moorings of Slipper Mill Pond, The Lord Raglan has been pouring pints at the water's edge since the 1700s. Well kept cask ales, honest food, a garden made for summer evenings, and live music that fills it.

The Pub

Three centuries at the water's edge

The Lord Raglan is an 18th century pub tucked away on Queen Street, its garden backing straight onto the moorings of Slipper Mill Pond. Step through the door and you will find low ceilings, a real fire, a dartboard, and a bar known locally for keeping its ale properly.

The pub takes its name from Lord Raglan, a trusted member of Wellington's staff who was injured at the Battle of Waterloo and later became Commander in Chief during the Crimean War.

With Goodwood and Fontwell both nearby we are a favourite with racegoers, and everyone is welcome here: children, muddy walkers fresh off the shoreline path, and dogs most of all.

Garden & Music

Emsworth's secret waterside garden

Locals call it the best kept secret in town. Follow the passage past the bar and the pub opens out into a flower filled garden that looks straight over the water and the masts of Slipper Mill Pond. On a sunny day there is nowhere in Emsworth quite like it.

Through the warmer months the garden becomes a stage: live bands, DJ sets and barbecues under the fairy lights, with a friendly crowd that keeps coming back. Follow us on Facebook for what's on.

At the bar you will find well kept cask ales, with regularly changing guest beers alongside the house favourites, plus lagers, ciders and a solid wine list.
