Emsworth Restaurants

Fat Olives

A real fun place, presided over by Lawrence Murphy, who thrashes the stoves, and Julia, who does just about everything else. History does not relate anything about the former fisherman inhabitant of this converted cottage quite near the Quay, but one likes to think he would have joined in the fun with enthusiasm.

• Cuisine(s): Modern British, Seafood
• Avg. Cost Per Head Lunch: £20.00, Dinner: £41.00

Restaurant 36 on The Quay

Formerly a haunt of smugglers, the inn has now become ultra-respectable and it is doubtful if its former habitués would so much as recognise it, much less appreciate what it now has to offer. Standards are high throughout and though a meal is pricey, it is a small price to pay for such wonderful food.

• Address: 47 South Street, Emsworth, PO10 7EG (Map)
• Cuisine(s): British, Modern European, Seafood
• Avg. Cost Per Head Lunch: £29.00, Dinner: £63.00

Spencers Restaurant & Brasserie

Another contribution to the movement which is beginning to make Emsworth look rather like Ludlow-sur-Mer, but which still has a long way to go in sheer weight of numbers. You eat smart in the upstairs restaurant or more informally downstairs in the brasserie, which seems much more fun.

• Address: 36-38 North Street, Emsworth, PO10 7DG (Map)
• Cuisine(s): British, European
• Avg. Cost Per Head Lunch: £15.00, Dinner: £43.00
