    Had the governor's roast which has all three of their meats as well as a few sides. From best to worst: The beef was quite nice The vegetables and cauliflower cheese were tasty The yorkies were leaning on the too crisp The pork belly and pigs in blankets were pretty burnt. Sorry for the terrible picture but it's hard to take photos of dark things in dark lighting. For what it's worth, there is gravy on the plate and the meats are darker than that. Very disappointing. Not sure how the cook did not notice that the pastry on the pigs in blanket had charred. I don't like wasting food but I really couldn't. I Food took quite a while to come out l. Service was friendly. They did ask about the food during the meal and I brought up the burnt food. Perhaps I phrased it too politely because nothing came of it. They also asked how my food was during payment and I didn't feel like complaining then.

    Always a fantastic time had at King Street Tavern. Portsmouth’s only genuine smokehouse 🤤 I’ve even been told that the vegetarian/vegan options are good, but let’s face it… I’m here for the meat!

    Spotted this gem of an old pub as I walked to go to a nearby record shop and had to have a pint. The tiling is exquisite of pubs from a time gone by so it's nice to support old local pubs. The door was open but I was told they didn't open for another 15 minutes, they wouldn't let me sit and wait so i had to wait outide. The interior was nice and still quite traditional with the wooden panels and brown paint. There was a selection of 4 ales and 5 mainstream lagers. Barmaid could have been friendlier and more welcoming/enthusiastic but she did put my phone on to charge which was nice. The free WiFi didn't even reach my table in front of the bar and there was very little mobile phone signal. She later explained with it being a listed street their was no under street wifi cables so they're reliant on a satellite. I'd definitely like to go back, perhaps in the evening when it would be livelier.

    Booked a group meal for Saturday night. There were a few problems initially but the staff were amazing and sorted everything out. Was an absolutely fantastic evening. Food was delicious, more than we could all eat and we took some home. Ales were very nice as well. 100% recommend if you like great food and ales with a lovely atmosphere!

    Second time I've had bad service and running out of meats. Had our booking an hr later then we had booked for and one member of staff wasn't that interested in sorting it out. Thank God for the one member of staff (dark hair and Guinness top, didn't get her name) she tried her hardest to sort it. Then she had to come over to tell us there were only certain meats (bless her as she felt so bad for us) however we could have all the meat on the most expensive meat platter !!! Funny that , have deffinalty been put off going back again
