Coal Exchange
About
The Coal Exchange is a historic pub in the heart of Emsworth, beside the harbour and a public car park on South Street. Owned by Peter and Dawn and part of the Fullers Smith & Turner Group, it offers a friendly, cosy atmosphere with a real log fire that warms the lounge in winter and a sheltered beer garden that invites al‑fresco dining in summer. A roster of award‑winning real ales—including Fuller's London Pride, Seafarers and HSB—has earned the pub a spot in CAMRA’s Good Beer Guide and the title of Pub of the Year 2005. Whether you’re looking for a relaxed pint, a family lunch, or a festive Christmas menu, the Coal Exchange’s traditional charm and attentive staff make it a favourite among locals and visitors alike.
