Went past today, scaffolding up & exterior being repaired & painted. I do not know if this means pub will reopen or just become offices / flats. One to keep an eye on

Update 10 Oct 2009 - now open again, until January. I was informed that it will open until then, the Wheelbarrow will then be refurbed & reopen as a bar / restaurant

At present it is fairly sparse, very few seats & tables. two hand pull bitters, Ringwood & London Pride, pool table & that's it

Down to 2 stars from 3

Update 7 Oct 2009 - reported to be re-opening, next time I'm in Southsea I will check it out

Feb 2009 - Shut & boarded up, in control of Punch Taverns according to note in window

March 2009, now open again, hooray. Went in Sunday lunchtime, only recently reopened so limited beer, in fact only Pedigree on, but it was a very nice pint

Rumour is the site may be sold for devolopment, but in the present credit crunch times this may be far in the future now

Useless fact, Peter Sellers was born in house over the road, worth visiting just for that

Update Aug 2009 - Closed again, and according to Portsmouth Pub News web site it will not be opening as a pub again
