The lamb shank was the highlight for me. It was huge and cooked just right. I really appreciated how fresh the ingredients tasted. Just a heads up, the portions are very generous, even the starters.

Busy Friday night and the staff still kept things moving smoothly. Good service when it&#39;s packed.

Really enjoyed the vibe here, very lively. Our waitress was spot on, gave some great advice. The 2-for-1 cocktail deal was a nice touch &ndash; the old fashioned I had paired really well with the spicy chicken starter. Solid spot for a casual drink.

Great late-night spot. The bar staff really know their stuff, and the cocktails are spot on. Good vibe with the music.

A handy place to pull in with the EV. The vegan burger was decent, and I had a pint while waiting for the car to charge. The high ceilings and big windows made it feel quite airy, which was nice.

Love that they let you mix ribs and calamari with a salad.

Popped in for a quick lunch. The burger was spot on, and the proper chips were really good &ndash; proper crispy outside, fluffy inside. Had a pint of the local ale with it, which was just right. Solid lunch.

Decent portions, cooked nicely. The staff were friendly and kept an eye on things without hovering. It was a solid, pleasant meal.

Staff were really nice. The Thai curry had that proper kick to it, just like I remember from trips. Fish and chips were decent too, crispy outside. Solid spot for a casual bite.

As a coeliac, I felt safe here. Bryony really knew her stuff, explained the kitchen&#39;s allergy procedures clearly. Got the gluten-free fish and chips, no issues. Quick service too, which I appreciate.

First time here. The steak was the best I&#39;ve had, period. Cooked perfectly, incredible flavour. That&#39;s all I needed to know. Will be back for that.

Stumbled upon this place and now it&#39;s a regular stop in Portsmouth. The atmosphere is just right&mdash;cozy and relaxed, with comfortable seating that makes you want to linger. We&#39;ve enjoyed everything we&#39;ve tried from the menu.

The drinks list is a real highlight. They had a lovely house-made ginger beer and a couple of interesting seasonal cocktails. A nice touch for when you&#39;re not in the mood for wine.

Great decaf espresso martini here! The bar staff really knew their stuff. Beer selection looked solid too. A nice, quiet spot for a proper drink after work.

Stopped in before the ferry. The food was good, solid value. They even brought a water bowl for our dog, which was a nice touch. The house red was a bit simple, but it did the job with the pasta. Would pop in again.

Got a Sunday carvery table without booking, lucky! Portions are huge, the beef and pork were really good. Roast potatoes and cauliflower cheese too. With the senior discount, it&#39;s a steal.

Took a group of 9 for Sunday lunch, kids included. Staff handled it well on a busy day. Good amount of space, not cramped like some places. Food portions were generous, decent choice. Parking was straightforward.

Came for lunch before the rugby. The Six Nations special menu had an Italian burger with pizza toppings. Honestly, for the price, the portion was a bit on the small side. It was tasty and cooked well, but I was still a little peckish afterwards.

The Sunday carvery is such good value! Perfect for a catch-up with friends, loads of options and it&#39;s all kept fresh.

A lovely local pub. The staff are so friendly and welcoming, which makes it a really comfortable spot to unwind. We enjoyed a couple of drinks and a game of darts. A nice, easy evening out.

Cosy traditional pub, good for a casual meal. Had the fish and chips - decent portion, batter was crisp. Service was efficient, got my order quickly. A solid option if you&#39;re in the area and want a straightforward pub meal. Nothing fancy, but reliable.

Great spot to watch the game! The vibe is lively but not too loud, so you can actually follow the match. Staff were really friendly too.

Found this pub while looking for a Sunday roast. It was quiet, which was nice. The roast beef was cooked well, and the pint was good. Service was efficient. A solid option if you&#39;re in the area.

The bottomless brunch experience was fantastic! Marcus provided exceptional service, ensuring our drinks were always topped up, and the food prepared by Adam was delicious. Highly recommend this place for a fun outing!
