Toby Carvery Hilsea, Hilsea, Portsmouth

A modern timber-framed barn-like structure dating from the 1990s with a central brick chimney, previously called The Green Farm after the farm that used to be here. There is a large car park at the side and a small, tidy paved garden area only really useful for smoking. The interior is high-ceilinged and has a lot of cobwebbed structural timbers on display, failing to give that authentic rustic feel. The young staff were pleasant, the clientele were fairly civilised and the food was as good as could be expected given the quality of the ingredients, well cooked and well presented. There was annoying muzak, gaming machines and mute TV screens to distract us. Ales on were Tribute and Doombar, both in OK condition. It is good at being what it is.

Stayed here at the Inn keepers Lodge next door during May and agree with everything Micheal Wright has written. The Carvery was plentiful.From 5pm it filled up quickly to catch the cheaper price.After the rush had gone it was a nice place for a relaxing drink. Pleasant staff
