E TA left this review about The Dolphin Inn

A small high street pub in a Georgian terrace, a bit of a time warp, currently owned by Enterprise. There is a car park at the side, but there was a locked gate stopping access when we visited. The main bar is quite small, L-shaped, and basic. There are two fireplaces at the front with woodburners, and there is an open chimney at the back in what is used as a games area. The latter has a pool table and dartboard, while there are TV screens showing football, plus gaming machines, also in the bar. The pub dog is lively and friendly, while there are dog treats available to buy from the bar. The pub runs occasional poker nights, live football matches are shown on the TVs, and there is a lively local feeling. One nice touch is a collection of 10 wooden barrels forming a canopy over the counter, each barrel fronted by the Crest of a Navy unit, a nod to the nearby Fleet Air Arm base. One ale on, 6X, which was drinkable but not brilliant. OK to drop in for a swift pint or three but I wouldn't spend a whole evening here.
