Traditional Weatherspoons pub in typical modern building. Usual good selection of beers at competitive prices. Friendly staff with the usual Weatherspoons food fare.

You can't deny the price vs. the quality of food and drink you get but this place needs a reburb like you wouldn't believe.

Had a great evening with my friend who cannot drink fizzy drinks, when I enquired about what drinks they have fizzy free. I was kindly told what was available and even brought us some samples. All round polite staff and great atmosphere 👌 pricing is good on drinks not so much on food but that's usually the way with wetherspoons.

Came here after wanting some good pub food. I used the app to pay for the food. I went to order a curry and as I went to pay it said that it was out of stock. I went back and it said it was still on the menu which was disappointing because I really wanted the curry. I ended up getting a chicken wrap which was good but not what I wanted. I'd come back if they had everything on the menu as stated.

Not quite the experience I was hoping for.Popped in for a breakfast while waiting for my car to be repaired at a nearby garage.The pub itself looked nice from the outside but rather shabby once inside.I found a quiet booth as didn't want to be close to others due to COVID. Several customers were not wearing masks when walking from their table.People were smoking just outside the back doors and kept leaving the door open so smoke wafted in. A patron had to complain to staff to get the door shut.The online ordering facility was quite good apart from the option to have decaf tea was missing, so I had to ask at the bar before ordering. Kind of a waste of ordering online as it took longer than if I'd been able to just order at the bar.The service however was quick and the staff were very nice and polite.When the breakfast arrived it looked nice and although it was edible it was in my opinion below par and a little greasy.Sadly I can't recommend this place and I wish I'd gone to one of the other cafés in the area.

WELL IF I COULD RATE THIS PLACE A ZERO! I WOULDabsolutely appalled with the staff here I had came here for breakfast on the 10th of jan at 11:08am to come for breakfast with my COLLEGE friends to enjoy a nice breakfast so I thought until the rude manager who accused us of being 15. When my friend is 18 in a few months we was asked to show proof of ID and oh god when we tried to she refused where it was a photo I’d of a driving license we was told we couldn’t eat our food we had paid for my friend almost went hungry until the manager kicked up a fuss in front of EVERYONE well I was so embarrassed let’s just say she humiliated us in front of everyone SHE ALSO HAD CALLED US SNEAKY as we tried to order my friends food via the app when her breakfast got brought if she told the waitress to take it back after she had paid DISGUSTING BEHAVIOUR 😡😡😡😡😡😡

We went for breakfast on Sunday day morning. Tables were clear, clean and tidy. We had ordered, and eaten most of our food in under 40minutes. Staff were friendly and helpful, free hot drink refills were a bonus.Eggs benedict was really tasty and small breakfast was more than enough for me.Gave 4 stars some of the Xmas Dec's(in November) were a bit worn looking and feels like an old man's pub when first entering. Otherwise lovely food and staff and clean. Thank you

A typical Spoons branch with local knuckle draggers on the piss. Although the staff were friendly and knowledgeable, the large breakfast was served quickly and was hot. Good range of real ales when visited.

·

No a bad pub. Had a small beer garden out back and staff was friendly.

The staff in this pub were excellent. I enjoyed a pleasant evening meal served promptly on their application by Lydia who is a credit to the establishment. The following morning I enjoyed an al fresco breakfast outside again with excellent service. The pub is located in a quiet pedestrian precinct in Cosham and is large and spacious. Well worth a visit
