Once consisting of two separate pubs (the other being the King & Queen) until being knocked into one by former owner Whitbread in the 1980s, the Ship Anson is a popular pub and draws its custom from both locals and visitors alike. The large, single bar room is divided into distinct areas and features much dark wood. The Ship Anson is very close to the tourist attractions within the Historic Dockyard, as well as Gunwharf Quays. Well-priced food is served all day.

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