The 'other' pub in the spice island end of two, but this one is secreted amongst the moorings and boat stacks rather than the touristy bit. It is however more pub-like than the other two and has a couple of nice traditional rooms with tiled floors and glazed partitions as well as the obligatory mass of tables on the dockside. Another Fullers pub, with various beers from their range. Sadly the eponymous bridge (visible on the sign) has long since disappeared, so access is round through Old Portsmouth.

A pleasant location sandwiched between two small docks, paved outdoor terraces each side being possibly the best choices on a sunny afternoon where an old boat has been parked. Excellent floral displays too, inside there is a generally boarded split level area with some quarry tiling too. some wood panelling and old style leaded windows. Various areas but all are interconnected. Fuller's beers so obviously in the area once a Gale's house, Pride, Seafarers, HSB, Oliver's Island and a Gales badged Redwood, new to me. Expensive, can't remember exactly but £4+. There is an old ship driving thing which makes a bit of a row with a charity charge for messing with it. Not bad but the Spice Island is busy and touristy when the sun is shining so pick your day accordingly.

A nice multi-area’d Fullers place in the Camber docks quayside with nice views (shame it was dark, really). Leaded windows were of note. A nice panelled room off to the right was where we sat. Having had a few by this stage we inevitably noted the old hand-crank ringer bell, so chucked in the 50p for charity and gave it a bit of welly a few times to annoy the other patrons. Noted as dog friendly. Just three ales on from the Fullers stable, Jack Frost (decent nick), Pride and HSB. Expensive in price though. Overall, this is worth a look-in if crawling the vicinity and I imagine it’d be well-worth pitching-up on a sunny summers day. 6.5
