The Fleet in Portsmouth

Great venue with an unbelievably friendly staff which made me feel at home. Charley was a great help behind the bar, very chatty and friendly! Knew her stuff with the deals and whats good to drink as I aint much of a drinker. The food was also top tier! I'd suggest you to also visit!

Emma was incredible, sorting a birthday cake and fast service all night. thank you :)

Charley was a very good server and served my food very fast,the food was the best quality I've had so far and tasted amazing ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

Had a great evening at this venue, the atmosphere was amazing and I was server by Charley who was very professional and friendly. Will be returning!

Very nice meal. Reasonably priced. Lovely staff.

Standard pub chain pub. But friendly and accommodating. One of the better pubs in town

Emma and the team doing a great job as always. She always goes that extra mile to be welcoming. Great place to watch the rugby, listen to music and have a laugh.

Charley was amazing serving my friends and I on the bar. Quick and professional but so much fun!! Made my night, happy Halloween!

most of the team, exclusively the door staff, ‘Mike and adam’ were extremely helpful when we went to them for an incident that had happened inside the establishment. they immediately responded to the situation and made sure our group felt safe while moving on to the next location. they are the reason we come back here because we feel safe with them here knowing they really care for the guests in this pub. we are all very thankful for your help :)

Popped in here for the first time in many years having moved away. Have to say it's really not the same as it used to be but is still okay. It's a heck of a lot more expensive too, three pints cost nearly £17! Service is as friendly as it always was and there's lots of comfy seats and booths around, as well as a pool table. Not sure I'd return in a hurry because of the price, but it's still a decent place for a drink.

Work lunch venue. Staff are friendly and range of drinks is ok. If you drink real ale there is a loyalty card that gets you a free drink after 8 paid for ones

Nice atmosphere music not too loud 😀

Visited for drinks and food before watching the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra at the Guildhall. It exceeded my expectations, particularly the food. I had a 10oz steak, which was a decent hunk of meat, cooked perfectly (medium rare). Would definitely visit again.

Been coming here for 20 years still love it staff are all very helpful

Karaoke here is so biased, the guy hates you if you go up more than once even if the place is dead

If management could check regularly that the hands and fingernails of their staff are clean it would be appropriate. It's been gross to watch the preparation of the cocktails I've ordered by a young lady at the bar. The fingers and nails looked filthy also using measures for fizzy mixers aswell inappropriate. Place has an unpleasant smell. Not coming back. Thankfully I didn't order food.

Charlie H was very attentive and polite when serving behind the bar. A very friendly and professional atmosphere

Karaoke Monday: Got yelled at by the guy for going too many times when I’d only been up twice prior and lots of other groups had gone up many times before

First visit this month and definitely will be returning! Came for drinks with friends while in the area and not only is it affordable and with a good atmosphere, the bar staff are welcoming and friendly. I was served by Charley who provided amazing customer service with a smile on her face. Would recommend a visit if you’re in the area.

Great food at good prices in a nice atmosphere

Thank you Charley, Emma & James for being great staff, happy friendly and making our evening a enjoyable one. Nothing was too much bother, we’ll be back to see you all soon for our next work gathering I’m sure 😀

Friendly staff, good food and drinks. Love the monthly Latin parties there, and the Garden Parties too 😆

Menu has changed which seems have little left for options/choices of what to have. The Latin parties are amazing !!

Came for lunch with my family and was very happy with the experience. Very children friendly with great menu options. The staff are very friendly and welcoming and very aware of dietary requirements.

Been using this pub for years and currently watching all the England euro games here great atmosphere and great staff

Very friendly. Bar staff were lovely especially Emma and karaoke was absolutely amazing. Highly recommend!!!!!!!!!

Went for a few drinks one night, the bar staff is amazing, emma is amazing, would definitely come again. Very welcoming and friendly

Enjoy coming here but seems a bit naughty to massively increase the prices for an England game which is what the staff said head office told them to do - nearly £7 for a pint. Reason being to cover the increase in glass collecting however you are serving in plastic cups!

Great time at the Tuesday quiz! I come along most weeks and the service is always amazing (Taz is a superstar), food is great and quiz is great fun!

We booked a table for six for 5pm as there was a big event at the Guildhall. It became apparent that the kitchen was unable to cope with orders when we were told a 40 minute wait. We then overheard people at the next table would have to wait an hour. Our meals started to trickle through but the last meal didn’t appear and eventually a person came to the table to say they had run out of my choice but didn’t offer an alternative. She had the cash in her hand to just hand over to refund me. People at a neighbouring table were still waiting when we left and eventually asked for their money back. Why take orders when you clearly could not cope with the demand.

Fantastic bar with friendly staff

Barman called Dillon was on. Made us feel so welcome from the moment we walked in. 10/10 for him

Situated just off the main street. Sold out of Mixed Grill so my colleague and I each had 10oz Rump Steak with all the trimmings. Was served up in quick time, The steaks were spot on and cooked to what we ordered. A very good meal for a reasonable price. The beers were also well kept, no complaints there. The staff were friendly and efficient.. The toilets were clean enough and the beer garden was tidy. Being a Tuesday night, it was quiz night which was very well attended, a good night overall. Unfortunately the pub emptied out straight after and the atmosphere fell a little flat. Would recommend a visit.

Fantastic service clean friendly staff always polite the food is fantastic and value for money as a family of six we definitely recommend it Charley has served us numerous times and she is so kind very welcoming always attentive I would highly recommend this place

Myself and my daughter had a brilliant time here. Fast, efficient & friendly service and brilliant food - we both had scampi and chips. Charley was particularly fantastic, always going the extra mile, above and beyond! The definition of service with a smile. Cannot recommend enough ! Thank you so much Charley for making our visit to the fleet such a wonderful experience

Menu looked OK but despite advertising real ale everyone was off! Went across the road to Weatherspoons.

Great fish & chips! Very cool place with friendly and efficient service staff. Highly recommended.

Our first visit since Feb 2020 after this awful Covid situation. So pleased to still see it roomy and friendly.Some shining stars in the table and bar service. Security friendly after reminding us that kids not after nine pm. All good. Good food for kids and adults all good.. First time back with kids. Staff super busy but super helpful. Great service. Food was good. Update. Visit with three kids. Staff OK but not really engaged. Ordered some chips and asked for the kids colouring set. Something to keep them entertained. Apparently this has stopped. OK not a big deal. But we had to go because the kids were getting bored. This review is given with the acknowledgement it is tough for business out there. Great service on Christmas Eve. Especially by a gentleman who maybe is hard of hearing. Couldn't do enough for the kids with table service and completely understanding the challenges of four kids.

Only had drinks on Saturday night. Bar man needs to learn common sense and courtesy which he lacked in abundance As an older couple we were shocked by his manner . If this what you teach your staff I would tell others to avoid and get quality service elsewhere.

Bit quiet and no volume on the football for some reason?

I ordered big breakfast, only got 1 egg , hash browns burnt, and toast was so hard. Couldn't complain as staff was out the bk

Whenever I come to Portsmouth, my favourite pub to go to is the fleet! They have so much to choose from so if you’re ever unsure of what to order, just ask the bar team what to order as they’re all so friendly! Taz in particular is always a delight☺️ 10/10 venue for atmosphere, drinks and food!

First time here visiting during my weekend away, and definitely will be back, thanks Tazz for making me feel so welcome! A credit to the team :)

Had a wonderful evening, service by Taz was really good. Appreciate the recommendations she gave!

Great pub, live music was good and the atmosphere was brilliant. Great service from the barmaid Charley who was very happy, helpful and a pleasure to be around. Will definitely come back

Came in recently and was served by Charley, she was really friendly and gave great recommendations. Everything was good value for money and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. Will definitely be coming back here!

Surly security bloke said my dog not welcome in a dog friendly pub even though we been there since midday and all serving staff made a fuss of him!! Won't be returning again or my family of 12+every month as we did WAS a Great pub , great staff and great prices

Had the lasagne for lunch. Quite bland and it was tiny! Served in a 6in diameter dish, it filled about half of it. Disappointing.

Had an incredible sever called Taz who was friendly, fun and very helpful. Really enjoyed the live music on Friday and the variety of drink options available here.

Had a fantastic time with my colleagues. Had some dinner and many drinks which was extremely affordable. Taz recommended the sharing board which was absolutely delicious which we thoroughly enjoyed. They also had a great wine selection which we also indulged in.

Great place to come for a drink with mates. Taz served us tonight who was very attentive and helpful.

Was served by Taz today, she was very friendly and helpful, great service, recommendations were great, she went above and beyond, recommend the Fleet. Had a great time.

Came in for food and drinks with the wife and was served by Charley. She was very helpful and super attentive and made the experience great with some brilliant recommendations. The prices are affordable and the entire atmosphere in the venue is a 10/10. Will definitely be returning.

Had a very pleasant experience at the Pub! Prices were really affordable and the vibes were amazing I loved it! I was served by Charley and she was the sweetest ever! Thanks Charley for making my week ❤️

great atmosphere, affordable prices and the service was great throughout. Charley was great all night 👍🏽

The service we received from Charley last night was impeccable, she was so friendly and welcoming and had some great suggestions for drinks. The atmosphere of the venue was great and the food was delicious, props to the chef. Can’t wait to come back!

My first time of being in tthis pub called "The Fleet" and was there due to an ex work colleagues retirement get together. It was a packed place as the Scotland V England Six Nations match was on as well. The atmosphere was noisey to say the least,but good. My friends and I didn't have any food but the constant flow of cooked food from the menu looked good and smelt good as well as it was coming from the kitchen past us through to the customers that had ordered it😋😋. "The Fleet" was obviously a very popular venue in the centre of Portsmouth town centre and easy to get to as we found out as I was the driver taking myself and three friends to this get together from another part of Hampshire. And a great time was had by all.😊👍

Great pub,good atmosphere but can be very noisy if you're going for a catch up with friends

Taz was amazing, made the whole night an amazing atmosphere. Will definitely be returning.

A great evening with dinner, drinks and then quizzing. The food was lovely and the service at the bar from Emma was great.

Nice food at a decent price witha lovely atmosphere.... the beer garden is excellent and they shoe most of the football here

Me and my friends came here for the pub quiz and Taz really made our night, she was very friendly and accomodating

Came to Popworld the other day with some mates and had an amazing time here!! After being served by Emma on the bar once, we just kept coming back to her because she was so lovely, helpful and really friendly to talk to x

Very nice place and very good service from Charley

Very accommodating, friendly staff

Nice pub, breakfast was pretty good.

Lovely venue. Very affordable food and drinks with friendly staff and service. Overall experience was brilliant, likely to recommend and would definitely return. 5*

A great pub. Very spacious with a nice outside area. Staff very pleasant and efficient. We had dinner here which was excellent value with live music always welcome. However only had one Ale on draught which was John Smiths. No real ales or bottled ale on offer which is a shame.

We visited 30 th Jan 2024.we had a lovely meal.food order was great didn't wait to long.staff was nice and friendly. Place was clean and tidy.the plates are warm so it keeps your meal hot while eating.i had a rump steak and my partner had fish and chips.

Came in last week, and I would like to premise this by saying the staff were cover from another site, but the food was lovely and the staff that served us were very friendly and polite, unfortunately food took a long time to come out, I’d put this down to the chefs hi knowing what they’re doing, but when it arrived it was amazing and we all enjoyed it, special thanks to the manager who was helpful through out and the gentleman who covered from the dockyard

Cheap food. Good atmosphere. Nice central location.

We were absolute drunk menaces and Charley was an absolute angel and served us so well all night, lovely atmosphere here! 1 star for food only because we didn't have any!!

Always come here with my partner and the bartender with blonde hair and glasses who we tipped was kind and cheery thoughtful of our children bringing them over items which we didn’t even think of - which is definitely different from anyone else anywhere else we have been. We will continue to come here as we have been doing two years in a row . Recommend to families and people who just want to have fun.

Pay extra for extras in burger 99p for 6 small mushrooms in my burger. Christmas menu and you barley have any of the products. Staff that confuse customers when listing menu items they do not have. Very limited menu considering its 2 days til Christmas and people don't want to cook.

Staff good, food good if we are in Portsmouth again we will return thanks to all Robbie

Food and service was good, I'd go back again

Really nice pub great service and the food was amazing. Will be coming back for sure

First time here. Good atmosphere, really good food. Will definitely be coming back 💜

3 bean burger TOPPED with nachos!!!! The picture speaks for itself; I think I counted 3 beans 😂 struggled to find the nachos!

Food is standard pub quality, but great options that aren't necessarily what you'd expect. All the employees are friendly and helpful, and there's a nice friendly atmosphere. When they're struggling to get staff in, food can take a while, but that's also pretty standard. One of my favourite haunts.

Very decent pub. Very decent food and a lot of alcohol at reasonable prices, including, of course, various beers, including craft ones. A perfect place to watch sports with friends, but also to spend a nice evening.

Came here on a Saturday, wasn’t too busy. Food is standard, we tried the subs which are pretty cheap! There is a pool table for £1 which is good. Nice beer garden as well.

Delicious food with a range of options, good drinks and pleasant space with comfy seats.

Amazing service!! Quick and super friendly staff

Fab time at the fleet, really great drinks and fab venue!! Did a gig here ages ago, really great live music!!!!

Shows the rugby world cup, relatively expensive drinks but decent anyway

Lovely atmosphere, quite spacious and reasonably priced. Would recommend, if you looking for a place to spend the night or somewhere to stop on a night out

Rikki came out to bring our food and made the experience feel very wholesome. All of the bar staff and the managers made us feel very welcome and worthwhile. Aaron the manager also cracked a few jokes

Friendly staff and great atmosphere

The real ale was not good at all. Tried both and left! Could not have drank another pint of it.

Had burger. Chicken was just battered, bacon burnt to crisp, the cheese was plastic, lettuce drenched in mayo. Chips were cold

If we fancy a pub lunch, then this is our go-to pub.

Good veggie options. Good pricing. Would recommend

Nice place to visit, with a nice outdoor garden area, hardworking and friendly staff, food is always served in a timely manner and to a good standard ☺️.

Don’t come here, staff are scum bags and only want your money, we when here spent over £100 and was told we only had 5 minutes to drink are drinks, pub was quiet so they wanted to close early go elsewhere

Took our grandchildren out for a meal. The youngest loved the dessert.

Food here is pretty good, slightly above pub standard and the prices are fair but do seem to change randomly which can be confusing. The small plates are good deals and £2.49 for 10 onion rings is definitely a steal. I also like the pub quizzes they do here, but it's not so much a general knowledge quiz when 60% of the questions are football related.

The food is pretty standard good-value pub grub. The atmosphere varies quite significantly depending on when you visit. Usually very quiet during the day but can get rather busy indeed during the evenings - especially when there is an event on. The staff are usually helpful but food can take a while to arrive and there has often been some confusion with orders.
