The Flying Bull, Rake

My wife went there recently for lunch with her girl friends. They meet once a fortnight and try different venues so have some experience. They report that the food was appalling as was the offhand, truculent, service. Never again!

The Jolly Drover, Hill Brow

This is a most underated pub. There is a good selection of real ales and the food is incredible value and the portions huge with seven or eight vegetable per platter full. With virtually nothing 'bought in' it's all freshly cooked - superb. It's advisable to book at busy times but don't go if you're not a Pompey fan. It's mine & my wifes favourite pub if we're both thirsty and starving.
