Thatchers in Portsmouth

The place draws, mature and pleasant clientele....bar staff so friendly

Booked a table at this lovely bar and restaurant, what a experience. Had a drink in the bar first, great service and lovely atmosphere, then went into the restaurant. We ordered Thai fishcakes and prawn cocktail for starters, really well presented and very tasty, and main course was house burger with fries, and chicken pork pie and side vegetable. Very big portions and very well presented and exceptionally tasty, great service too. 3 drinks ,starters and mains £51 . Great price

Dj plays the wrong style of music for the crowd 😫

Good times to be had by all in their gorgeous beer garden 🍻 🪴 Predominately British Pompey crowd, lovely 🥰💙

I like my Newcastle brown and it's 2 for a £5 during the day but, no food.

Football was on. Barman was excellent. Had a good drink, sweet.

Toilets have been sorted from last post but my have they got a problem with drugs...2 or 3 people in a toilet at one time... Security does nothing.

Great night out and bar staff were brilliant 👏 👌

A good local pub with a good selection of beverages.

Smell of the toilets literally comes out into the pub disgusting watched a couple move because of the smell seriously needs to sort the toilets out vile

Great pub and lovely staff and also well reasonable priced!

Used to have the reputation of the most expensive pub in North End. It is now one of the cheapest. Can't go wrong for a £2.55 pint of Doombar 👍 (03.11.2023). Usually has at least one pump pulled ale on the ready, with most of the popular larger's and cider's on tap, or bottled, in the fridge. A locals pub, which is very welcoming to outsiders like us, who have moved into the area. Just pub snacks, so the two stars on food, isn't really a fair reflection, as the snacks are of great variety and always well topped up. Great local boozer.... Need I say more....👍

It's changed alot not sure if i like it,think someone new is running it now still undersided, got alot of tvs for sports

Hi, this is a compliant directly relating to one of your regulars Ken Gates. A few weeks back he spiked my drink over at The Mother Shipton in Stamshaw. A friend of mine spotted him drinking in your pub happy as larry. I just wanted to mention this as he has EVIL intent and is a danger to us women. Please do something...

Great atmosphere with friendly staff and very good prices , must be the cheapest in the city

I just popped in to see a friend, had a beer not to expensive..

Service a little slow but good atmosphere

The best management in the town has created a fantastic bar

Very friendly staff. Done out lovely. No tvs blaring out. Very clean and tidy.

Nice place, professional staffs. Watched the champions League final and the atmosphere for very nice. Had a good time there

Craft Union pub same as The Leopald in Southsea. Leans towards being a Sports bar rather than boozer but, clean and tidy, friendly staff, two ales normally on offer but Doombar was served today, it was OK. Can be noisy. Deco quite smart.

Could do without the language from the punters, don't need to hear the "c" word in every sentence. No Timothy Taylor Landlord either.

Used to go there before refit ,always liked atmosphere ,which it still has even with change of staff ,Claire is a sweetie.I do miss Elvis sitting at bar but he obvously left the building lol.

Lovely large pub and outside seating, good selection of beers and prices typical of all the pubs in Portsmouth.

Pub has changed hands now and although the beer is cheap it's now full of kids who want to fight unfortunately. Will avoid.

Staff are always welcoming Pub 👀s really good after the huge £ 💷 refit 👏👍👍👏 Karl & his ‘Team’ are OUTSTANDING’

Sound in here!!! Cheap pints staff are sound drink here quite often since moving here and would recommend it 👌

Very nice after the refurbishment.

Brilliant pub....lovely pint....

Significantly better than previous visit some 2 yrs ago. Well done for establishing the pub in North End

We thought we would have a lunchtime drink here. We ordered our drinks and sat down, the pub was fairly busy. There were two people behind the bar serving when a Mac Donald s delivery came in and passed over the bar, the two people then got out their food and started to eat it on the bar. A customer had to wait untill they pulled off the monopoly stickers. Will not be going back.

Beautifully refurbed! Am sat in their lovely beer garden drinking a cider - lush pub! X

Great refit and a nice fresh feeling to the pub. Great service and reasonable prices.

Nice revamp for the area! Was advised about gin and which mixer. Would be amazing if they had fever tree and also some local gins / local bands and events on to make the place feel more down to earth and less like the Clarence. Loved the atmosphere and liked the new staff.

Lovely new interior good music and cheap drinks as well.😃

Had a recent refurb to this pub. Nice friendly atmosphere and drinks at a reasonable price. Has a small garden area. No parking available.

It's so much better now, realistic price's fabulous garden and brilliant bar staff.

Lovely afternoon in the garden 😀

Great refit! Great team heading the newly refurbished pub to be honest… I can overlook the glasses piling up on the bar and none being collected; it’s a fresh team. But INCONSISTENCIES already mean several disappointing visits. On a Sunday they told the whole garden at 1030pm that was it and pub closed. No notification. No last orders. And then the table the landlord had been sitting at was allowed to order again? People get upset about this sort of thing… Weekends open till 12… hmmm? Well sometimes the door staff let you in and sometimes as of tonight at 11.02pm they stop entry. That’s fine there’s enough other pubs open to 12 and 1 around them. The FOUNTAIN is great and Wetherspoons if you really want entry at 12.45pm… but why 11pm some inconsistent nights?? Have a suspicion this pub will get better and better but inconsistency means currently 3 out of 5

Just been done up looking great prices good plus good live act well worth a visit

Great place to have a party and Disco

Lovely pub good food great staff

Very busy, which is nice to see, made a nice break from shopping we only had two cups of tea 🍵 which we could refill again and again, which we did 😀. The Thatchers are on the high Street so you can pop in and spend some time ⏲️ checking your purchases before starting again. We had just been to the Portsmouth Arena. *****.

I enjoy playing darts, however I have gained no knowledge of how I play darts in this pub! Does this use a dart board?

Love this pub! Friendly staff, good food nice atmosphere.

Always good.sunday dinner a must

A great pub to grab a beer, drink with friend, and even a nice cup coffee in the morning. amend please, try the Sunday roast, it's great

Amazing place. Food, hospitality, environment. There's nothing I can compliment more. If your in Portsmout go here. Nuff sed.

Lovely homely pub with great food and service

Good for drinking. Great food. Lovely atmosphere friendly landlord and staff.

This place does awesome OAP roast dinners on Weds lunchtimes. Staff are very friendly.

Fantastic place to see a band like Simple Men.

Group of five made welcome in the bar for Sunday lunch, as access to dining tables at rear was restricted. Beautiful meal and good hosts.

Superb music fantastic beer fantastic all around brill... .

Bar staff really friendly and music fab. Shame drunk locals frequent here!

I visited here with my husband for Sunday lunch, we both had a roast beef dinner, this was cooked perfectly, the beef was tender and moist, and the vegetables cooked perfectly. The staff were friendly and helpful. We would definitely recommend to others.

OK pub but can get busy. Live music can be noisy if wanting to just chat. Good beers.

Very welcoming, and lots of humor, in short, go ahead, the prices are completely reasonable, come and relax with a pint and play darts while enjoying a superb sunny terrace.

Great Portsmouth pub with a unique style, almost good live music at the weekends. I would recommend.

Very friendly really good for a few pints.

Service quick and friendly by lovely smiley staff. Great live bands sometimes with a brilliant atmosphere

Unfortunately, I don't have any photos. We went there from quiet Southsea, through dirty and neglected Fratton and the restless, even off-putting Nord End to the concert. I won't tell you who played. I don't know what their name is. We were invited there by a drummer who was our neighbor until recently. The concert was worth every moment spent there. And to keep my throat from drying out, I drank a very good cider called Thatchers. The price will certainly discourage fans of Friday night drinking, so the pub does not require additional protection. Moreover, most of the clients were young people around 50+. Similar to charismatic musicians. I recommend.

Staff really friendly, Food very good and dogs welcome. Would recommend.

Nice bar and lounge on The London Road. Good value food and drink. Cosy and relaxing.

Its a quite Thursday afternoon not many people in but we have Dawn serving. A handsome lady who is a very good barmaid and friend of many years.

Christmas dinner very nice Busy as you like Staff working really hard Drains were having problems and the smelling like hell.

Lovely people and entertainment

I was here on a Friday night,good atmosphere,not over crowded.

My new local boozer, made to feel very welcome

Wonderful light breakfast. Super staff.

Excellent breakfast and a super traditional Sunday roast. Great value

Nice bar called change since I was last in there

Live music... Friendly atmosphere.. cheep beers..

Bit expensive for the other places cloe by but ok

Great place beer a little on the dear side by pennies something most night. Music weekends

Landlady was a little rude & tried getting us out asap even though we still had drinks. Spent quite a lot over the duration of the night, won't be spending money in there again

Great pub with nice garden in the middle of North end

Relaxed atmosphere and a super little breakfast for £1.99. Wednesday is Midweek Roast Day. Not to be missed, but be early at 12 noon!

Lovely place great atmosphere, Food good All staff welcoming warm and friendly.

Food good but plates could be hotter also staff who take orders should let customer know about the specails bar staff are great,Dawn is the best.

Good honest pub. Fortnightly quiz.

Great friendly atmosphere, the place to go for live music in Portsmouth.

Went in to this pub which i have always liked...waiting for my son and daughter in law to meet me. The lady was cleaning up glasses..which i did not interrupt,however despite it being empty at the bar, she kept her back to me and wandered up the bar to talk to the other bar worker and clients and totally ignored me.. after feeling an utter fool I eventually left to wait out the front for my son. We did go back in when my son arrived and were served straight away by the man behind the bar. I do not want to feel unwelcome in a pub as a lone woman and I am not adversed to going into a pub alone usually but this experience made me feel very awkward. If you want to own a pub or work in a pub...please make people feel welcome! Its important in hospitality. I will not return because I never want to feel like a burden or a pain in the backside. Such a shame for what could be a lovely place to be.

Nice pub. Friendly staff and no trouble.

Music...food...drinks...ambience..mood...all you need for a Friday night!!!

Brill pub. Tommy saved me a lovely curry tonight as was working till 9pm and took my left overs home. Lovely friendly staff. Also they do a brill roast. An always have things going on and brill bands.

Very friendly place to relax and have a drink serves good food also

Good friendly local. Entertainment weekends. Excellent Sunday Lunches

My wife and I have not had food here yet but it does look good. Staff are very friendly the Guinness is good.

Excellent venue been there for couple of gigs. Great music theme decor, staff are friendly and helpful. Recommend it.

Friendly bar staff & a good atmosphere.

Love it, love the staff, love the bands!!👍👍

Great pub good food and great hosts

If you want a I pint or two, just an easy going pub ! Not a bad Sunday roast either!

nice pub to have a quiet drink and a chat

A good local and lively Pompey pub. We usually go on a Friday night because there is a live band on and a good atmosphere.

Best breakfast in town , lovely friendly staff.

A very nice pub, staff was friendly. Garden was very pleasant.

A friendly place I have never been a fan of pubs this feels like. Home

Hands down the best Sunday Roast in Portsmouth. Great choice of beers and the lovely Thatchers Gold!
