The Florence Arms was constructed in 1924 to replace an earlier pub of the same name. In 2013 the traditional public and lounge bars were knocked through, with just an open archway now separating these two areas. Part of the former function room now serves as a dining area. Furnishings are now a mix of high stools & tables and banquettes. Piped music is played and there is a selection of tourist information literature available at the bar counter. The pub's operator offers accommodation at a small number of nearby boutique hotels (see website).

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