Requested be closed with reason - Other: Harry Crumble says: Pub has a request to be opened with comment - The building was recently refurbished, and recently reopened as "The Goat". It now trades as both a student pub (they're strict on that rule, it's only for students but they still call it a pub) and as a Pizza parlour.

This was a student-only venue and pizza restaurant, obviously the former site of The Royal pub. It was owned by the people behind one of the student houses a little further away from this "pub". They put heavy emphasis on "students" and wouldn't allow anyone who wasn't part of the University of Portsmouth into the building; which is why this venue didn't last that long. The owners gave up and sold it to developers who I believe are converting the building into a convenience store.

Two reversed handpumps at 4.30pm on a Saturday. 30 second stay so not much to add. L shaped,there was a dartboard. No beer running up to Saturday evening shows a lack of care to me. Wadworths signage outside.
