Awarded the top 3-star Sustainable Restaurant Association
accolade and winner of Best Food-Led Pub Group by the
Restaurant Magazine, Heartwood Inns is renowned for its
seasonal, fresh menus, extensive drinks selection and
friendly teams who create a real home from home experience.
There are currently 23 Heartwood Inns throughout England and
14 Brasserie Blancs, all part of Heartwood Collection. The
extensive refurbishment will create a charming and welcoming
local pub with cosy snugs and local beers, an airy dining
space to the rear and new extension leading onto a beautiful
enclosed terrace and landscaped garden.
The pub with rooms will feature 43 unique bedrooms to
welcome guests from further afield to enjoy visiting the
local area. Initially planned to be called The Rope &
Anchor, the pub with rooms will now be known as The
Ropemaker. which continues to reflect both the heritage of
Emsworth and the key role that pubs have played for
centuries in the local area. This change reflects our
consumer research into what overnight guests may be looking
for when they visit the area and we wanted to ensure our
name best reflected our location, a short distance away from
the harbour.
Set to open in summer. Heartwood will be working on an
engaging launch plan and speaking to many in the community
as we look forward to getting to know our new neighbours. If

Editor: At the time of going to press the planning
application APP/23/00630 to remodel the front of the hotel
was still being considered. A number of residents and the
ERF have expressed concern about the reduction in parking
spaces at the hotel and the increase in the size of the
dining capacity (up to 200 covers).
