Saying this is a large pub is an understatement... maybe they should call this Publand to really grasp the enormity of the place in comparison to traditional London pubs. I was a little disappointed that they didn't have Boddingtons in any form so a Guinness had to do.

A pleasant surprise after visiting the Portchester Castle on a rainy day, just outside of the…read moreCastle. Our group of 7 decided to stop by for lunch. Couple of pints to start, the meal ended up being the best UK meal we will have for our entire week of Goodwood, FOS trip. The Fish and Chip was very good. Fresh, tender, and juicy. It was by far the best we've had on our trip. Almost as good as the one I've had at a small fishing village, Fife, Scotland. The highlight was the pot pie. It was falvorful, tender with lots of meat and veggies. If there's one more thing I might add, is the you English know how to make fries, "Chip"!!!!. Hot, crispy on the outside and tender inside.

The Cormorant is a fine pub with a full menu. It is also one of the closest restaurants to…read morePortchester Castle, so it probably gets a fair amount of tourists stopping by for a bite. and that was us... I got a pint and some lamb & mint pie, which came with a side of veggies and mash. I don't have a huge frame of reference for traditional British pub cuisine, but I was quite pleased with the lamb and mint pie (though was sad that my first choice - a daily special of a pork pie, was already out). http://www.yelp.co.uk/biz_photos/9oufq6AA6lwUbdOFoIjo-Q?select=VzMck6ZCGDOXUGbvE9JDpg My wife was happy with her burger, which came with a slice of British style bacon, and a big pile of chips. http://www.yelp.co.uk/biz_photos/9oufq6AA6lwUbdOFoIjo-Q?select=KEI72xhCqOFsrb5MPmBzEw Our local friend got the Cajun chicken served on a sizzling platter of veggies, and also came with a side of mash. Since my local friend knew that Cajun and Mexican are kinda the same in England, having slightly blackened chicken on a sizzling plate of fajita veggies fit the bill. The side of mashed potatoes was uninspiring in taste but made up for it in volume, while my side of veggies seemed to be prepared in the way that British veggies are stereotypically cooked: overcooked to the point of blandness but edible. Good food, friendly staff, reasonable prices (and they have a "credit crunch" menu and a kid's menu as well) If you're looking for food near Portchester Castle, this place will fit the bill well. and if you're looking for a pint of ale, they have a good selection at the bar.
