Found this place by accident, having taken a wrong turn. Lovely, bright and airy interior, VERY comfortable ambiance, super friendly and welcoming staff...and one of THE most beautiful young ladies behind the bar. The landlady is quiet special too.
Free WiFi, free car parking in the street and opposite the pub. Decent menu (I didn't eat on this visit). From a personal perspective, there were too many dogs on my visit, but presumably, this will suit many? This venue also has a beer garden. Sensibly they have time restraints on evening closing, thus respecting their neighbours.
Highly recommended.

A proper local that offers all things to all people. We’ve been there for a bite to eat in the garden, a meal in the restaurant area or a quick snack in the pub whilst an informal group of local musicians played tunes together. Staff are always friendly and keen to please, prices are extremely fair and we’ve enjoyed our food. what more could you ask?
A great place.

Superb quality and value food , best burger I think I ever had ( goats cheese) with caramelised onion, proper kaiser roll and great chips , everyone in the group loved their food including fish and chips . Service was a bit flaky ( seemingly normal everywhere post covid ) and the baked Camebertneed some chitney/relish/ cranberry jelly . But overall very very good - we will be back !

What a little treasure. Food is excellent & very filling. All the staff are helpful, friendly & polite. There is a lovely garden with a play area for the kids. Dogs are also very welcome here. We recently had my Nan's birthday lunch here, all 17 of us. The landlady couldn't do anymore 👍
One of my favourite places to eat out. It can get very busy so best to book a table. Highly recommended.

What an absolute gem! We have just had our family Xmas meal and it was lovely. The food was great and a credit to the chefs. Great portion size, although the offer of a doggy bag was greatly received. We were looked after by Tracy, who made us feel welcome and like we had known her forever. We will deffo be back and look forward to checking out the beer garden!

I use to think that you cant have a fantastic meal in U.k.until today.Walking down the streets of Gosport, looking for the ferry back to Portsmouth we get to see the Fighting Cocks pub.And we were talking about having a pint and maybe something to eat. Dont be drag away from the outside look.They have an impressive beer garden on the back and the food was....spot on.Even for vegans(as me) they have some very interesting options.The prices were just like in any other pubs in Portsmouth. And the bartenders were friendly and very helpful..There is no discussion,i will recommend the place to everybody who goes to Portsmouth. Hopefully,one day i will get to come back .

Had a great surprise party here, organised for my wife and I by her parents. The owner and staff were in on the secret and ensured we were clueless about the family hiding around the corner. Amazing food, great atmosphere and friendly staff. We couldn’t want for more. Thank you again from the Hearn and Best family.
