About this Pub
Why it's great for Matchdays
A practical matchday stop: the pub advertises TV sport including TNT Sports, so you can catch live football pre- or post-game. It’s on New Road in Copnor with bus routes 14 and 19 listed nearby, making travel to and from Fratton Park straightforward. There’s also a sizeable beer garden that can accommodate groups meeting up around games, and cask ale (Sharp’s Doom Bar) is regularly available.

Great experience and wonderful staff. They had pool table, darts and music selection. Highly recommended.
Since I moved to Portsmouth, this has been one of my locals, always a welcoming place and the staff are always friendly and welcoming. They have a greaat sense of community and what you don't see in many public houses nowadays,,, a bar billiards table!!
What a super pub/hotel. We booked one night only fearing lack of entertainment in the area , but totally wrong and wished we had stayed 2 nights. Rye has loads to offer in way of different individual shops. The venues to eat are enormous..around every corner something for everyone. The rooms are unique and sufficiently up to date as much as possible bearing in mind the age of the surroundings. Wow the breakfast ! Fantastic let me tell you. With a limited amount of space they certainly make the most of it. Varied menu means all ages and people types can be satisfied here. The Restaurant Manager held all aspects together and every wish is met with calm expertise. Thanks you will see us again.
Great pub.
Popped in on a Sunday afternoon. Asked for a dry rose, was offered zinfandel which is sweet. Ordered 2 rum and cokes, the mixer was diet so tasted gross. Will try again in the summer as the garden looks really nice.
