Bold Forester in Portsmouth

Lovely ladies serving. Pub was empty as early. I took a 96 year old lady who thoroughly enjoyed her food and nearly cleared her plate. Food was lovely so thanks to chef as well. She loved it. Thank you. Will definitely come again.

Greene King pub that is very well run. Great atmosphere, good food, good drinks selection and friendly staff who work hard to make sure everyone enjoys. Great pub.

Really friendly pub. Nice atmosphere. The staff are lovely. The bar is really pretty and well laid out, giving it a look of an old fashioned sweet shop. It attracts a good mix of people and has a comfortable welcoming air to it.

Sundays food orders ‘til 9pmJust starting with that because it’s what I wanted to know before I went. Some places do only snacks or less after Sunday lunch times.Had an amazing time here. My personal negatives would be that it was slightly too warm and slightly too dimly lit - but that’s just what lots of people want in a pub on a cold night!The place is nice, clean, different areas with different feels, but it was the staff that made it. Never less than focussed on you the customer and what you want and expect. Not one interaction felt rushed or insincere.The food was consistently one little step up from my group’s expectations. Cooking, seasoning, presentation all gave us little ‘ooh’s. This is standard pub food done to restaurant standards. Someone thought underseasoned, but I dislike salt and black pepper so they had the choice to add and I wasn’t overwhelmed.6 out of 5 give these people your business.

Amazing pub, my missus accidently forgot her handbag and the bar lady caught up with us as we were walking to give my missus back her bag!Absolute gem! Great for live music too!

Nice place 1st visit. We was surprised with the price of 2 double rum and cokes seemed bit over the top - £14 otherwise nice layout of pub and garden outside was good

Heat food, spotlessly clean and cheerful staff. Very welcoming when to my 4 legged friend with a dogy bar with treats and water

Best this place has ever looked, great food, friendly staff and dog friendly! V important. Also enjoying all the different entertainment they have to offer. Can't wait for the summer!

Good outside area and amusing quotes on walls. Doggie friendly.

Food was reasonably priced and good value for money. Staff are helpful and friendly team.
