An excellent pub with well prepared meals, particularly the Sunday roasts. A wide selection of drinks are available. The naval bric-a-brac is amazing, which helps create a good ambience. Naval personnel often meet their families in the Ships Anson for a family get together. Sports are shown on the TV screens which is really good when you can get the table next to the log fire in the middle of winter! Well worth a visit and keep it up!

Went away for a weekend to bognor and had a trip down to Portsmouth. Saw this bar and thought we would have a look just to have a drink. The pub has to be one of the most spotless pubs I've ever been to. The staff were fantastic. We even ordered a bite to eat and the food came out piping hot. Can't fault it at all. Exceptional place to visit.

Love this pub. Love the atmosphere the history. The Naval focus. Very patriotic. But…… the food is 1/5. The chicken BLT (6.95) came with little chicken and NO bacon. Ordered chips. (3.25) Came in a small pot so got about less than a dozen chips. 30p a chip!!!!!. 😩😩😩😩. Must be portion control. Sent the sandwich back. Staff said do I want another. Yes of course. I already paid. They were sorry but nothing else. Come on Green King. I know customer service is rubbish in the UK now but get your head out of the sand and pick your game up and be the pub chain that is better than all the rest. Stop cutting corners. It’s a shame. A lovely boozer spoiled by terrible food. It’s all in the detail. Stop employing snowflakes and get professionals in. Take pride.

We ordered a variety of meals, when they came out they were cold and asked for them to reheat or recook them, when the waitress came back out she said that the meals wouldn't be any hotter that was as hot as they could make them. I have cooked in many establishments and would never let food leave my kitchen if it wasn't piping hot. We asked for another portion of chips to keep us going and all they did was put the cold ones back in the fryer, when they arrived they were very greasy. The atmosphere was great, bar staff and manager couldn't have been nicer and we got a full refund. The attitude of the kitchen staff was appalling and wouldn't consider eating there again and don't recommend to eat there. I don't think the chef can have much pride in his job to let food come out like that.

The bar staff were super friendly the pub was decorated beautifully for Xmas, it was lovely and warm. Not wanting to be so crowded in Gunwharf we booked for lunch and drinks. Definitely recommend the pub if you are visiting historic dockyard or gunwharf.

So my husband travels around the south on business, I am lucky to accompany him on rare occasions. We came to this pub as he loves it, so I went straight to the loo, while he got the drinks. To my surprise on entering the Ladies, I was welcomed with a sweet scent, followed by decor that resonates quality and appropriate decor for the time period of maritime, naval with a twist of modern. Apart from that Ladies, every cubicle was not only clean, but spotless, ok, this is at 19:00 but this pub is open all day... let's say remarkably cleaner than a lot of chain public houses! To add to this the history resonates throughout the bar area into one of the most patriotic public houses I have had the pleasure to drink in.... pay this pub a visit!!

Booked a table here for lunch on a Saturday it was very busy! Standing room only. It’s more a bar for drinks than a restaurant. If you’re wanting a nice atmosphere for a chat and a drink this is not the place for you, as it was so noisy that you can’t talk to the person sat across from you. I had the Christmas roast dinner. It was poor. The meat was 2 slices of sandwich meat you hand one powdery potato quartered. A mountain of Brussels (15 or more) I’m not a fan of Brussels which left the plate empty. It’s not table service you have to go to the bar to order but I couldn’t get anywhere near so we gave up and went elsewhere. My friend had the pie which they said they’d enjoyed and someone else had fish and chips which was good enough. We didn’t wait long for food at all which was surprising seeing how busy it was. Sorry but I will not be returning.

We were on a long weekend break at Hayling Island, and this pub was just down the road, so we went here for our main evening meal (twice)! As a party of 9, we booked for the first time and were seated at a lovely glassed topped cartwheel table. Ale, wine and coffee are good and a menu for all tastes. Waiters/waitresses lovely and service prompt. A very relaxing experience. Plenty of parking. Reasonable prices. Recommended.

Avoid. Power hungry doormen. 'Attempted' to visit for 1 drink before getting the boat with my brother and father, after a matchday in Portsmouth. (Like we do every time we visit!) on Saturday the 9th Nov' @17:40. Unfortunately didn't get a name. Doorman singled me out and let my family in but not me, saying I 'look like I've had too much to drink' and wouldn't be reasoned with and 'didn't believe me when I said I'd had a 2 pints with lunch 4 hours ago. I LEGALLY COULD HAVE DROVE. Couldn't give me a genuine reason other than based on my natural looks, which I find very offensive. I gave no reason whatsoever to have thought this. Guy couldn't even keep a straight face whilst talking to me. This put a real dampner on the day for me and is still annoying me today. Hope action is taken, though I can’t imagine it will be. AVOID.

Update Your request for details as follows; The chicken was grossly undercooked and was not fit for human consumption. There were multiple main ingredients missing from both our food orders. In summary, there can be no excuses for such a blatant disregard of food hygiene. Furthermore, the absence of multiple ingredients from food orders is not acceptable.

Having spent the best part of 7 hours travelling from Sunderland to visit Portsmouth and the area, my partner and I went to this pub for some well required food. What a disappointment! Having literally just walked through the doors and looking for somewhere to sit (and my partner looking at what to drink), it wasn't encouraging to be barked at by the staff demanding to know what we wanted to order, them huffing and puffing when we couldn't answer immediately. After finding a seat and re-approaching the bar, a different member of staff continued with the same 'couldn't care less' attitude. Drinks ordered successfully. Food less so - I was informed after ordering the chicken that there wasn't any, on questioning what alternative chicken options there were, was told salad. Yet I managed to order katsu chicken burger. Which was overloaded with sauce to a sickly level. Steak for my partner to be cooked medium, was responded with 'we do pink or well-done. That's your only choice'. Well done chosen, and was it well done - practically cremated! We couldn't eat the food due to them being particularly unpleasant, despite the cost. On leaving, a staff member asked if we had enjoyed our meals (what do you think, you're clearing up our almost full plates!) When we said the meals didn't taste very nice, the response we received was 'ah, oh, ok. We've heard that before'. Didn't even try any damage limitation! Though I guess by our accents, they probably thought they didn't need to try for our return custom. They would have been stuck if we'd moved to the area! Shame.

Initial good visit marred by piss-poor customer service. Popped in on Sunday with the family for a quick bite and a couple of beverages after attending the King's Theatre Open Day. Initially impressed having not visited Porters in a while. Experienced marred by Chef's fiddling the stock by cutting portion size. Minor issue... Menu said 6 chicken wings specifically and was served 5. On raising with the server however the response was poor. "Chef's changing the spec" is not a noteworthy excuse when the menu clearly states something else. Server didn't fixed the issue (clearly under the guidance of misgyided Chefs). Manager also did not attend to fix the issue... unclear as to if they were actually informed. Dissapointing response to a small service issue that could have been easily solved... just lead to frustration. Shame as food was good and bear choices excellent... won't be returning however as just can't trust the menu will be honoured. Suggest patrons check what dishes include in detail before ordering and paying.
