A modern style street corner pub that's bigger than it looks thanks to a downstairs seating area. The main ground floor bar is divided into two areas showing that it used to be two separate shops. The walls are bare brick with large glass windows & bare floorboards to give a light and busy feel. On chilly winter days it's nicely warmed up by a stove and everyday there's food from a local supplier that works with a charity to provide food in parts of the globe undergoing food shortages.

Information for this venue is provided by the Portsmouth & South East Hampshire Branch of CAMRA
