user reviews of the Sovereigns, Portsmouth
please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
| Built into the Travelodge complex, Sovereigns represents the very worst kind of chain pub, and is probably in breach of the Trades Desciptions Act. Its sign advertises fine wines, but only cheap plonk and middle-range fighting wine was available. It also offered fun - but for whom? Not the serious pub-goer. In fairness, it offered "Extra cold beers" - this was certainly true of the Sharps Doombar I had, although that's not a good thing and the pint was tasteless and unenjoyable. I didn't try the food, which looked like the standard Happy Hungry Horse-eater fare, and in any case there were 2 people at the bar independently complaining about the quality of their meals. Again, in fairness, the smell of stale chip-fat should have kept my expectations in check. Of the 6 staff on (all wearing their corporate polo-shirts), only one lady was prepared to serve beer. It's convenient for the ferry port, but then so are other places. Not worth including on a crawl. ETA - 29 Jul 2010 06:46 |
| Had a really lovely sunday roast here. much better than the beef eater down the road. Some good quality real beers too. they have some good deals on especially at lunch times. randolf - 23 Jun 2009 19:13 |
| Family friendly pub , good value meals but the portions are not the most generous i have seen . Three real ales on tap , all in very good condition . Attached to a travel lodge , directly opposite the channel ferry terminal . Worth a visit if you are waiting for a ferry with the kids . johnrhynie1 - 17 Jul 2006 18:47 |
| Family focused pub, served good food all day every day. Childrens Wacks Warehouse attached. Wait times on food can be quite high, 2 meals for £10 Monday to Friday-steaks are included in this deal. Food was excellent, staff are friendly and helpful. The.Ginge - 20 May 2006 20:15 |
