π 0.7 miles from Fratton Park
About a 10-minute walk from Fratton Park, the pub is popular with football fans and even operates a third bar on football days, helping it cope with pre/post-match crowds. It has Sports TV so you can catch build-up or other live games, and an extensive garden with its own bar that provides extra space on busy matchdays. Food is served (including a Pizza Rosa offering and kitchen hours across the weekend), which is handy on longer matchdays. A strong cask lineup is regularly available, making it a classic Pompey matchday local, with visiting fans reported as present without issues.
Visited the Rose in June today with my husband , we had a ploughmanβs mine was with cheddar Stilton and Brie , my husbands with beef and ham, all I can say amazing food great value and staff are lovely , the garden is beautiful and will defiantly be returning highly recommend !!!ππ
Had a very good pint of HSB here on the way to football (Hayes v Moneyfeild). Friendly staff. Football on the tv. Of street parking. Portmouth was away, so it wasn't busy
One of the best pubs in Pompeii, regularly four or five ales always in good condition. And a large beer garden. Beer festival Sunday 29 June 2025, it was brilliant. Roll on next year.
Great back street boozer. 6/7 Real ales and a very good pint of Guinness. Fabulously massive beer garden in the summer.
Very pleasantly surprised at the selection of real ale and ciders here. I've driven past a few times but never been in but glad we did. We only popped in for one but the pizza smelled great and the beer festival was busy. Will definitely be back in future.
