Reviews
"Recently suffered my second poor experience in a matter of weeks at a pub which I have frequented for a number of years. Attempted to enter for dinner with my child on Friday evening and was met with an abrupt barman who instantaneously made us feel unwelcome, making me disappointed that a once loved venue has turned into the sort of place which makes you want to stay away. All in all a very disappointing experience and I sadly will not be going back."
"Nice location, food just ok. Chips poor quality, but at least my drink was only £1.50 thanks to the meal deal. Dog friendly, but boy can you smell it. Overall, disappointed with the meal, but probably ok to drink there if you can tolerate the doggy smell and riff raff."
"Very very good food. (I can vouch for the maple and bourbon wings!) Delicious and it was prepared quickly. Reasonable pricing for the oldest pub in Portsmouth. Great atmosphere all-round."
"Lovely pub & nice food, were out of skewers & coffee machine broken but nice nonetheless. Dog friendly & little water bowls & water available but were out of doggy treats that were advertised when we went. Been here a few times in the post covid era & still a nice pub to visit & old Portsmouth is a nice area to visit."
