Harvest Home, Portsmouth

The Harvest Home has existed on this site since at least the middle of the 19th century and is remarkable in that it has retained the same name throughout its life. Dominated by loyal customers from the surrounding terraced streets, the Harvest Home is a basic community local, with live music or karaoke offered each weekend. Darts is played and there is also a jukebox and gaming machines. BT Sports is shown on television. A meat raffle is held at 4pm on Sundays. The pub has an original fireplace located at one end of the room. A series of black and white prints of Hollywood film stars and American entertainers is displayed above the bar counter (and in the games area) and there is also a small number of brass plaques, appearing to commemorate former regulars who have departed to the great pub in the sky. A heated patio area can be found on the south side of the pub, along with a small car park - and there is an additional small garden at the rear.
