Harvester The Great Salterns Mansion, Portsmouth

Well described below, this impressive Georgian house is still being misused as a Harvester. The staff were not helpful, and there was no real ale. The interior is rather over-modern, tacky almost. I would love to come back if a different business could take this over and operate something more appropriate the surroundings.

Large mansion overlooking Langstone Harbour, although the layout doesn't seem to maximize the potential opportunities. Once you enter via the impressive front staircase, you find the main restaurant areas off to the right and the bar to the left (which is open to those eating or dining). However, if the weather is good, the tables in the rear beer garden and on the first-floor decking terrace overlooking the water offer good views. No real ale, unfortunately, so made do with a quick keg 61 Deep (badly overpriced at £2.05) before moving quickly on.
