What a wonderful pub. Great selection of ales and knowledgeable and helpful bar staff. What more can you ask for.

Country Life Brewery Black Boar (Devon Porter), Marston Moor Cromwell Pale, Buffy’s Norwegian Blue, Hepworth Sussex, Scattor Rock ‘Rock Steady Light’, Oakleaf Holehearted plus, on stills, 2 ciders incl Thatchers Cheddar Valley dry, also Grandma’s Weapons Grade Ginger Beer. Enter to the front room, half wood-panelled, tiled floor, trad seating, up a step (under hop-adorned archway) to fairly tight bar area, esp with a little finger buffet laid out Sat nt for 60th bday, heavy floral paper on upper walls here, and tankards hang from beams. Past bar down corridor with tables & retro ‘70s dumb-waiter, tall wooden pew-like(?) settles to rt , further to tiny snug on left – mirror, old photos, servery from rear of bar. Menu includes steak&kidney pie, mash/peas, £5.25, or steak-ale-mushroom pie £5.45. All beers <£2.50. Friendly young staff, good pub & it would have been sampled earlier in the day but for a Sat opening time of 16:00!

One of my favorite pubs in country. On my last visit there were 5 excellent ales on including some lovely Dark Star Hophead :) To all the staff keep up the good work!

Almightylala - first, an apology. I had written down the meal timings for the Florence, which was the pub above yours in GBG07, so I was wrong to think you do food til 8.30. A mistake on my part. It was definitely the right pub, though, as we had walked half way across town to find you and I remember the address.

What that doesn't alter, though, was that we were told in a fairly offhand way that food was stopping in 10 minutes so we couldn't have any. The jostling did occur, and while I appreciate it may have been accidental, there was no apology or acknowledgement from the person involved.

In fairness, then, next time I'm in Portstmouth I will come in and try your food and hopefully be a bit more positive afterwards.

In reply to ETA, are you sure you've got the right pub as the last two GBG's have not got any food times at all. Also I don't recall ever having a beer on called Copperhead and to be jostled by another customer sounds very unlike this place. Please reply as very interested to find out what pub you did check out in the GBG.
