I had a three meat roast dinner and my husband had the ham hock. Both meals were delicious. The pub itself is very pretty with a large flowery outdoor seating area. The atmosphere was very relaxed with beautiful views to take in across Portsmouth Harbour towards Portsmouth and Portsdown Hill whilst we ate. The staff are really friendly and welcoming, especially the waitresses Ella, Keira and Jaz. Even though it was busy, they found the time to check that we were happy with our food and to ask if we needed more drinks. I would thoroughly recommend The Jolly Roger.

We had a stag do at he Jolly Roger last weekend. It was a great venue in a fantastic location.We had a buffet for 17, and although we needed to get some more, the quality was excellent. I would like to make special mention of the staff, all of whom were great, friendly and helpful. However, I would particularly to thank the young lady who looked after us. Sadly, I don't know her name, but she was absolutely brilliant and sorted everything out for us. We all had a great night and I can highly recommend this venue.

This was a birthday surprise for my elderly mother, Jasmine made it very memorable, a massive thanks to you. Nothing was too much trouble and despite being the only member of staff serving, Jasmine worked hard to make it very special 🙏

Really lovely chilled atmosphere, wonderful service from our server Jasmine who was really friendly and attentive, making is feel very welcome. Food was really good, we all had the roast which was a brilliant size and quality, only the potatoes let them down slightly but otherwise all very good quality especially for the price.
