Opened in 1992 on the site of Portsea Island's last working farm, this pub/diner and adjacent Travelodge is a popular eaterie for both locals and visitors to the area. The main bar is situated in an impressive space reminiscent of a tythe barn, with a riot of timber work forming the substantial roof space. Among the timbers are some particularly old examples, presumably rescued from elsewhere. The floorspace is split level and furnished traditionally. Framed black and white photographs of bygone Portsmouth hang on the walls around the raised deck. Piped music is played and subtitled television news is shown. Quiz and gambling machines are available and there is an ATM located towards the end of the bar counter (withdrawal charges apply). Drinks prices are very reasonable, as is the extensive menu, available all day, with customers able to dine in the main bar or opt to use the separate restaurant. There is an outside patio area and large car park.
This Pub serves no changing beers and 2 regular beers.
