Welcome to The Pubs of Emsworth

 
For a small town of rather less than 10,000 inhabitants, Emsworth, tucked away in the south east corner of Hampshire on the shores of Chichester Harbour is remarkable for having nine pubs although, only a few years ago, there were fourteen and in 19th century there were 30 pubs and beer houses in the village.

Of those that remain four are free houses, four are owned by Gales (now Fullers) and one by Young's.  Between them they serve a wide range of beers from breweries all over the UK.  All but one serve food and each has it's own distinctive character.

This website outlines the history of the pubs in Emsworth and describes the character and attributes of those that remain,  each  pub is rated on a scale of one to five taking into account its overall characteristics.
