Very very good food. I can vouch for the maple and bourbon wings! Delicious and it was prepared quickly. Reasonable pricing for the oldest pub in Portsmouth. Great atmosphere all-round.
You cannot beat the Sunday Roast at The Dolphin! Firstly it’s huge, with loads of meat, veg, potatoes & gravy. The extra stuffing & pigs in blanket are well worth it & if you ask nicely, the lovely Tracy will organise some cranberry sauce, no matter the meat you choose. Highly recommended for Sunday roast lovers!!!
Nice location, food just ok. Chips poor quality, but at least my drink was only £1.50 thanks to the meal deal. Dog friendly, but boy can you smell it. Overall, disappointed with the meal, but probably ok to drink there if you can tolerate the doggy smell and riff raff.
Lovely pub & nice food, were out of skewers & coffee machine broken but nice nonetheless. Dog friendly & little water bowls & water available but were out of doggy treats that were advertised when we went. Been here a few times in the post covid era & still a nice pub to visit & old Portsmouth is a nice area to visit.
Great pub grub and hospitality. Good pint of ale - Landlord to wash it down with. Post event visit was a short walk from Southsea common and so welcoming of our GS dog too. Thanks.
Dog-friendly gem with great food and a very decent pint. Add to that ample street parking and views of the cathedral and you've pretty much got it all. We'll be back!
Recently suffered my second poor experience in a matter of weeks at a pub which I have frequented for a number of years. Attempted to enter for dinner with my child on Friday evening and was met with an abrupt barman who instantaneously made us feel unwelcome, making me disappointed that a once loved venue has turned into the sort of place which makes you want to stay away. All in all a very disappointing experience and I sadly will not be going back.
Excellent food. Superb staff. Guinness lovely.
Not a great experience … booked a table for 8 in the restaurant , to be told there was a function on there were 8 people, the bar area was packed and loud, a Christmas crooner was belting songs in the backdrop of World Cup football. One dinner had to be sent back as it was cold, manager was exceptionally rude - we won’t be back!
Arrived at 9 p/m with around 12 colleagues. No warm welcome, bar staff surly. Quiz was on and loud! The quiz finished and the pub emptied except for us. Football sound was then on and commentary so loud you couldn’t chat. Asked three times if sound could be turned down to be told they didn’t have any control over it. I estimate we brought in a good £150 worth of custom. Customer service was non existent.
