This year, for the first time, I went alone having lost my fiance last year to cancer. I felt a bit uncomfortable going alone, but the staff remembered me and made me very welcome, thereby making the whole experience bearable, and actually quite enjoyable. It is located close to all amenities, including the backyard, and I hope to stay there again in December when my son finally comes home.

Anniversary Dinner I had House pate & toast which came with…read moresalad leaves, tomato & cress for a started, nice, as the toast was thick, too much pate for the size. Husband went for the breaded mushrooms, 5/6 & garlic mayo with salad leaves, like my starter. Mains we both went for the sirloin steak, homemade chips, tinned garden peas, garlic friend mushrooms & a grilled tomato. Husband was bit disappointed as he felt the char grill was too much for him & was making the steak taste a bit bitter. I went for a pepper sauce, not as peppery as I would like, but it did calm the char grilled flavour down a bit. No dessert was absolutely stuffed. A few tables reserved & a 50th Birthday celebration also. Friendly staff.

My favorite part was the bar and the employees. I felt very comfortable and at ease casually enjoying our food and drinks. I'm not sure if they still have it, but there was a pear cider, and a tequila beer called desperado. I really enjoyed those. Might I add the bar scene is quite lively after dark, and I recommend this place for all times of the day!

They have standards pub food such as fish and chips, bangers and mash etc. Th quality is good if not outstanding (don't expect an upscale gastropub as you might find in London). The atmosphere is welcoming and loud. We had two children with us and they did fine. When I am in the UK I really enjoy the pubs. We just don't seem to be able to get these right in the US although some of the new microbreweries are getting close. Anyway the ship and Castle is a good place to have dinner after visiting the exhibits at the Portsmouth Historic Dock complex as it is almost next door.
