| No problems, cheap booze does encourage some bozoes, but that apart staff are friendly and ale is sooo cheap. Good as part of a pub crawl as my bladder cant handle the long walk to the toilets! odbod - 25 Sep 2012 11:10 |
| Went in this pub over christmas with friends from work, we work local so not too much of a walk and we had a great time, the cocktails 2-4-�10 AMAZING, the staff were really nice as well, considering we only went in there for 1 or 2 drinks we ended up staying all night. (wife not happy) sorry spoons, you got the blame. lowlife - 21 Jan 2012 12:39 |
| Visited Saturday afternoon, 14 Jan 12 as part of a CAMRA pub crawl of Fareham Town centre. It's a Wetherspoon pub, so you get what you get from a Wetherspoon. The staff seemed friendly enough and the ale was competently kept, although the selection was a bit of a disappointment (I'm not sure whether the management have much choice over that). What they had, they kept well. This is a big pub and was fairly busy on Saturday afternoon. It suffers, like many Wetherspoon pubs, from a lack of "pub feel" and I think might have the longest "walk to the loo" I've come across in quite a while. If you're expecting a Wetherspoon experience, you'll not be disappointed. I you're expecting a pub, you will be. Usual Wetherspoon menu and those that had a meal were served quickly enough. Seems a decent place and the barmaid and customers at the bar were pleasant when we arrived as a group. Pub seems to be old, and has some nice nooks and corners with pleasant fittings. Just what you'd expect from a "proper pub". Good atmosphere on a Saturday afternoon and definately has a "local pub" feel. A short walk from the main town centre and close to a lot of shops. They had Sharps Doom Bar and St Austell Tribute on sale this day, both of which seem popular in Fareham. I had a pint of Tribute and although I think I was unfortunate to get it slightly beyond its best, it was still quite drinkable and worthy of a 2 on the CAMRA Beerscoring scale (for those that aren't familiar with CAMRA scoring, this isn't a criticism of the overall quality of the ale they sell, just the single pint I had - "2" is an average score reflecting a "Competently kept drinkable pint but doesn't inspire in any way'). I didn't try the food. They sell a good range of normal pub food and at a decent price - �4.95 for things like pie and chips, fish and chips etc. They have a special of "Two for �8" which is very good value for South Hampshire. I will go back here to sample the beer on another day as I get the feel that I was just unfortunate that the beer had gone past its best - hey, that happens. If I'm there at a lunch time I'll try the food. There're a few pubs in close proximity in Fareham and the Clinkers is fairly close to a large Wetherspoon, but seems to be holding well against that competition. The Clinkers is a proper pub and worthy of a visit. sleepy_meerkat - 15 Jan 2012 15:16 |
| Been using this pub since it opened. Great for real ales with friendly staff to serve you. Strict on IDs which can upset yougsters who arrive without any and can become abusive. I can only surmise that some pubs are not cheecking IDs. Great place for meeting friends and is popular for family meals. timfire - 8 Jan 2012 09:31 |
| Nice friendly pub, good beer lots of choice and a real must for the real ale enthusisast. Like the pub because the management tolerate no trouble or rowdy behaviour therefore its a nice place to go for a quiet meal or drink. Its nice to go to a pub where you are made to feel welcome and you know there is going to be no trouble. Cannot speak too highly of the place v169fbk - 7 Jan 2012 20:45 |
