Very rude staff, they wouldn’t even look at you, we had to ask for the menu and after 15’ wait, the tall guy didn’t even come to take an order. It was not busy at that time and he was just standing by the counter doing nothing. Great atmosphere but definitely not going back.

Very disappointed in the duck special of the day, it was not special just two lumps of duck breast, poor value for money. All the roast dinners looked much better value so I would advise keep clear of the specials. When mentioned to the young man he didn't seem at all interested. Shame as everything else was fine.

A wonderful Sunday lunch after the Great South Run was cancelled. We still had a charity run and The Eastney Tavern looked after us in our recovery. The service and food was fantastic and they evening gave a donation to our leukaemia charity run. Lovely place and thoroughly recommended!

We had a table booked for 6 but had to increase to 8 on the morning of the lunch. They managed to move things around to allow for this last minute and was not a problem for them. Very grateful. The service and food was amazing, especially when it was so busy. All food came out together and everyone was very happy. The waiting staff were friendly, available at all times, checked in on us and made sure we always had drinks. A lovely lunch on a wintery Sunday afternoon. Would definitely recommend.

We often pop in for a Friday evening meal and are never disappointed. The meals are to a very high standard for pub food and the staff are always friendly, attentive and cannot do enough for you. My steak on Friday was tender and delicious and we couldn’t find fault with anything. Thank you

Booked Sunday lunch for 5pm of day of Great South run for 3 people over 3 weeks before event as a walk in. All confirmed face to face. Rang today to change to 2 people only to be told they do not have our booking , are full and can do nothing for us! Awful customer service and not what I have come to be used to from the Tavern. Will think twice before eating here again.

I ordered fish and chips 16 quid... as did the lady on the next table, she got a decent (standard) size piece of fish, I waited in anticipation and when mine arrived it was atleast a third smaller... disappointed.... please explain how you manage the portion control....

At last, I'm not from Portsmouth but it's nice to find a decent pub where you can sit at the bar if you want to or go into the decent beer garden, the beer on tap is a good selection and reasonably priced, we went in there on Sunday for the first time and were both pleasantly surprised, also a plus to the bar staff for being friendly and very helpful I for one will be using this pub everytime I'm down that way.

If you’re looking for a traditional pub with bags of character then this is it. Good selection of ales and sprits and the roast dinners are generous and pretty damn tasty. Cosy beer garden at the back and a short walk from the seafront where you can normally park depending on the weather and time of day.

Disappointed to be honest. Used to eat here and was always hearty, fresh and generous portions with particularly good chips in really nice pub Now the Regular fish and chips is £16 so not really a budget option, it was nothing special and on the small side but the small plates £10 were like child dinners. Maybe that’s the cost of living increase for you? Service was alright, no one checked if food was ok and giving people one sachet of ketchup each felt miserly. No other food pubs locally so maybe a bit complacent , then again lots of rave reviews so maybe I was just unlucky

Whilst the Atmosphere, Decor and Service may all be good, the food unfortunately is nothing to shout about. Don't get me wrong, it's perfectly pleasant but just nothing special. Ask for your lamb steaks to be cooked pink and they are totally stumped.

Had our Christmas gathering last night at Eastney Taverns Christmas Quiz night. 12 past and present work colleagues. Fantastic evening, and not at all surprised as the management and staff are always attentive, friendly and accommodating. £15 for a main, mince pies and the quiz. Place was fully booked (and probably months in advance). Food was great quality (as always imo). Quiz was great fun too. Everyone left with a box of chocolates too. When you hear of great local pubs and their demise this place will never join that phrase. It is my go to pub for all Rugby related days / nights as the atmosphere is fun with lots of home country banter during the 6 Nations. When I'm ever asked where I'd like to go / what my favourite pub in Portsmouth is; it will always be the Tav! To all the team, thank you for a cracking night; your hospitality is second to absolutely none!
