| Reasonable pub. But the prices are far too high - £8+ for a large spirit (50ml in total) and a dash! I know no other pub, anywhere, charging these prices - and the food is very average - with students and agency staff serving. mandraker - 25 May 2012 22:51 |
| There seem to be plenty of good pubs in Portsmouth, so why this one made it into a recent GBG is a mystery known only to the local CAMRA branch. The building itself is nice enough from the outside; it would make a good museum or even a top-end restaurant but it's not got the ambiance of a pub at all. Then again it's a strange pub where Pimms seems to outsell beer. Speaking of which, I promised myself I wasn't going to complain about prices again, but £3.60 for 3.6% in a tied house? Come on... djw - 25 May 2012 22:16 |
| Only place in Gunwharf where you can get an ale but tremendously expensive. Pint and a glass of rose came to near 9 quid the other day - that hurts. 'Beer garden' has heaters but is surrounded by the high brick walls of the shopping centre. As another poster mentioned, best used for the occassional pint whilst shopping rather than a place worth visiting for itself. gravedigga - 7 May 2012 14:22 |
| Nice food, though portion could be better for the price. £6.30 for one glass of wine is ridiculous ! Get real. Would have stayed longer but not at those prices. Debbies_Star - 21 Jan 2012 19:33 |
| I don't agree with all the over reviews...yes this is a Fulelr's corporate place but it's slam bang in the middle of a shopping centre (all be it a nice shopping centre)...what do people expect. It is a bit pricey but it was cheaper than The Victory over by the station. Never eaten here so cannot comment on the food, 5 Fuller's ales on tap and i had a few Bengal Lancer's which were excellent. Staff were okay, but it's a place to stop for a drink or 2 while wandering round Gun Wharf Quays not a pub you would spend hours in. Visit yourself and make your mind up. lezford - 7 Dec 2011 18:53 |
