Always a loud and rowdy pub on a Fri/Sat night. Average prices. I've had the roast before and half of it tasted microwaved. Thought I'd give it another go. Went in and I was the only person waiting at the bar then a group of 4 walked in and the barman served them first. Bit annoying. If you prefer a personal experience then visit nearby Fawcett Inn or Phoenix they are better pubs.

Great friendly atmosphere. Staff friendly and happy to help.I had the pie and chips which was delicious and alot of filling and gravy inside. The onion rings were really good also. The Mac and cheese maybe a little small but we were really happy with our food and drink and all round experience.Highly recommend

Good selection of alcohol and large garden. Probably won't come back for the roast dinner as I have had better elsewhere.

Nice place for a beer and a bite, unfortunately we had the misfortune of the chef leaving after we had ordered which meant food took 2 hours to arrive and with little ones who were hungry it wasn't great, food was of good quality and we did enjoy what we had. Other than that I would recommend and I would be willing to give this pub another chance as I've heard it's a great place to eat. Garden was of nice size with plenty of seating

Not been in here for a while, but after a busy weekend working we thought we would pop in to grab a bite to eat.Seems they had ran out of a lot which was fine as discussed when ordering.Chicken wings came out meant to be coated in hot sauce and asked for extra hot sauce on the side(didn’t mind paying) they was dry and was just like eating normal roast chicken, and no pot of hot sauce as they used the last putting on our wings. Which seem to have none on anyway.Trio of chips, all came out cold, 2 of the 3 was wrong sauces and 1 came out was meant to be sweet potato but done normal fries instead, had to wait a further 10 minutes for them to come.Service, no knife/ forked brought out, asked for tissues as again none brought out… went away and forgot, started to serve people until I went and asked for some. Then brought out what we needed (food nearly finished, from what we actually eat)Left a fair bit and left as it was shocking, wasn’t even busy.Will not be going back any time soon.

One of my favourite pubs in Portsmouth. Serving a great food menu and good selection of beers and wine. It also has a large rear garden to enjoy when the weather is suitable.Also it has regular social events including live music on Friday and Saturday nights regular quiz nights. If you live or are visiting Portsmouth I can highly recommend this pub.

We had a bite to eat and a few drink in the beer garden. The food was good. I was drinking Neck Oil, which is OK for a mainstream pub.
