Brewhouse & Kitchen, Landport, Portsmouth

Typical Wetherspoons, in what was once the Post Office. Usual range of food and keeps beers in good order. Broken up into different areas, which is nicer than a big room.

Update September 2009 _ Now a Weatherspoon's, but a bit out of the normal Weatersppon's range, not dark & cavernous, but comfortable and quiet. I have always avoided Weatherspoon's because I dislike dark, cavernous, crowded pubs, but this one is out of the normal range, more like a proper pub, which of course it was & is One bar, loads of comfy seating, leather chairs, carpets, bit dark as per Weatherspoon's format, but not gloomy Went in Saturday lunchtime, service was initially appalling, despite being the only customer waiting the two bar staff ignored me. I assume even they were eventually embarrassed by this, and deigned to ask if I wanted anything, I ordered a Pompey Royal as a tribute back to history, it was not as I remembered, but still tasty, I was gobsmacked at only £1.85 per pint, shows I have never used them Found a table, which was uncleared from previous occupants, had cups, glasses and wet beer rings etc left. Moved this out of way and studied menu, one more surprise at low cost of food, ordered ham, eggs & chips for £2.99 This proved to be very good value, on par, in fact beats, The Churchillian one I had at £7.50 on Monday, and the chips were hotter Now, how do I rate it, well done Weatherspoon's for resurrecting this failed pub, even though there are at least 2 more Weatherspoon's in walking distance. I think this may just appeal to those, like me, who hate the large, gloomy format Verdict is, I will go back, 3 stars, well 2.5 really due to service, but not a 2 star March 2009 - closed, but has licensing application in window on behalf of Weatherspoon's, so assumption is it will reopen as some sort of Weatherspoon's
