The Portsmouth Arms, a charming local pub, offers a mixed dining experience. While many patrons celebrate the fantastic food—especially the acclaimed Sunday roast and the memorable fish pie—service inconsistencies detract from the overall enjoyment. Diners have reported issues such as rushed meal collection, misunderstandings regarding promotional offers, and inexperienced staff leading to delayed orders. Despite these challenges, owner Gary’s helpfulness shines through. With cozy ambiance and accessible options for smaller appetites, The Portsmouth Arms remains a beloved spot, though it could benefit from improved staff training to enhance service and ensure memorable visits for all guests.
