Old white painted pub with a mini cannon stood on its porch. Quite a long building it is split into two rooms with the toilets between; as we’re in a tiny port village they are labelled Gulls and Buoys and are on the poop deck. Main counter in the right hand room, it is L shaped with a large T-Bar straight in front as you enter, there are three pulls round the corner on the short length. Local brews as labels telling us the distance to the brewery show. Today’s beers were from Monkey Brewhouse ( 3.2 miles), Flack (19 miles) and Island Brewery (9 miles plus ferry ride). A nice woody interior, old beams, panelling and tongue & groove painted cream, a board floor and older wooden furniture make it a neat traditional place. The gents is decorated with maritime charts of the waters outside in the Solent and the whole place is nautical in flavour. We ate here and the service was professional and quick if a little too “gee whizz guys what can we do for you today”, I suspect a change of operators since the very old negative reviews below. Very dog friendly and there’s a beer garden at the back.

I have visited this pub for lunch a couple of times with my small walking group.The experience was not a pleasant one "people skills "are lacking to the point of rudeness.The food was poor too.
Today we decided to lunch elsewhere and just have coffee at The Gun.We arrived after a good walk,went straight to the pub and opened the door.
The greeting from.2 miserable faces was "we're not open"obviously we were a little early but there are ways of doing and saying things.
We did not bother with coffee and won't be returning to this pub for anything
We lunched at The Chequers a bit further along the walk the food was great and the welcome very friendly what a contrast!

Visited here last week. Had been recomended it by friends for lunch. On going to the bar my husband was rudely told to hurry up if he wanted food. We ordered very quickly! Served by a girl who had left her smile behind somewhere. Just finished when we were told to finish our drinks outside the pub as he was closing! Very rude staff, very unhappy customers,would not revisit.
