Old House at Home

The Old House at Home. Famous as the Oldest Dwelling House in Havant. Havant was destroyed by fire in 1760. The only buildings left were the church and adjacent cottages which are now known as The Old House at Home. This charming pub was built in the late 17th century. It has many interesting features including the two main beams in the lounge bar which are purported to have been recovered from the Spanish Armada. There is also the Bear Post which once tethered the last dancing bear in England. The Old House at Home has retained all the charm and conviviality that can only be found in a traditional English pub.
