The Ship And Castle

Had a lovely meal for four of us last night all the staff were fantastic especially the lovely lady manager will definitely be back

Cracking pub, background music and the food exceeded expectations! Amazing portion sizes and reasonably priced. Staff all friendly and extremely attentive. Will definitely go again.

Nice and quiet, when other places around the Historic Dockyards are busy. Food wasn't bad, not the best, but certainly passable and reasonably priced. Pleasant and polite and friendly staff. And the pub is child friendly. Voir le carte

My friend and I came here for a meal after watching a movie. We decided to share the Broccoli and Mushroom Teriyaki Stir Fry, which was enough for both of us and very delicious. We were informed that there would be a 30-minute wait for our food when we placed our order, and our meals arrived within that time frame.

Visiting Portsmouth this week, and having had a bad experience the day before at another pub, my partner and I were a little dubious at the quality to experience in the area. How different! The reception was great when we walked in, with a smile and a happy hello! Food was lovely, and nothing was a trouble for the staff. So much so, we had a return visit!

We all had the carvery towards the end of service today. The food far exceeded our expectations. It was freshly served, of excellent quality and very tasty. There was a varied selection on offer and the meal was excellent value for money. All the staff were very friendly and delivered a high standard of customer service. Oh and the desserts were great too! Thank you everyone. Voir le carte

At that point we walked off as well to a find alternative dining venue for rest of week.

Situated close to the historic shipyard, this pub offers great views of the harbor. We arrived just in time for food on a Sunday night at 7:30pm. The staff were friendly and quick. There was a group of intoxicated patrons who were politely asked to leave, demonstrating responsible alcohol service. The food was tasty and reasonably priced. Although the pub could use a refurbishment, it did not affect our overall enjoyment during our visit.

We came in this bar-restaurant with our five children. 5 minutes after our arrival, a man comes and abruptly and furiously explains us that our children must not seat in the bar because of the law on alcohol (they were just standing a moment in front of the tv of the bar). We explain that they will seat with us in the restaurant part and it will be ok. Next, the same man comes and tells us, furious, that our baby can not move and that we would be ashamed to be such parents. Angrier and angrier, he tells us that he does not want us to come back in his restaurant. Maybe, we would better take our baby on ours knees but we tell ourselves that it is a shame to welcome so badly a family, with repr... Voir le carte
