The India Arms, Portsmouth

Oh no, went to the neighbouring pub last week and found this pub is no longer an Indian! It is being re-furbished as an Italian. It appeared to still have beer on the bar (Pedigree) but we didn't go in to try as it was still bit of a work site.

The Royal Oak, Langstone

Unfortunately I have to agree with the last couple of postings. We went there on a warm Saturday evening and of course it was busy. There was only 1 person serving drinks (slowly and bad beer measures) and the food wait was down as being 45-60 minutes and it took all that time and some. The starters, 1 cold pate, took over 45 mins to come, the 2 main courses arrived eventually after 1 hour 20 mins and a complaint to the landlord. The table next to us sent their cold
paella back for further cooking.
It's a great location, but we won't be back again after this, our 2nd disappointing visit, I'll visit the Ship next time.
