Loads of seating including sofas, can get a little tight around the bar when its busy. The DJ in there on a SUnday night is usually very mellow and soulful and really creates an atmosphere. They've now got a nice outdoor space as well with some tables and parasols and a barbeque.

The pub does good food; lots of specials on the board including fish and pint/half pint prawns etc. The service can be slow if they're busy. They have lots of tables and happily reserve for you. Some dishes were excellent and probably deserve a 5/5 score but others although fine didn't hit the mark and were really 3/5 so I've gone for an overall 4/5. They seem to serve food all day every day. Car park by the pub is small but you can park further along the road and take a short walk back if it's busy. Nice friendly place.

Is a bit of a dive bar as it doesn't serve food, have any acts playing except a DJ on weekends, and has the standard assortment of drinks. Does need freshening up and better planned seating arrangements with a proper scrubbing down, but one cannot help but come back week after week due to the awesome clientele, great music and good beer.

A pleasant surprise after visiting the Portchester Castle on a rainy day, just outside of the…read moreCastle. Our group of 7 decided to stop by for lunch. Couple of pints to start, the meal ended up being the best UK meal we will have for our entire week of Goodwood, FOS trip. The Fish and Chip was very good. Fresh, tender, and juicy. It was by far the best we've had on our trip. Almost as good as the one I've had at a small fishing village, Fife, Scotland. The highlight was the pot pie. It was falvorful, tender with lots of meat and veggies. If there's one more thing I might add, is the you English know how to make fries, "Chip"!!!!. Hot, crispy on the outside and tender inside.

The Cormorant is a fine pub with a full menu. It is also one of the closest restaurants to…read morePortchester Castle, so it probably gets a fair amount of tourists stopping by for a bite. and that was us... I got a pint and some lamb & mint pie, which came with a side of veggies and mash. I don't have a huge frame of reference for traditional British pub cuisine, but I was quite pleased with the lamb and mint pie (though was sad that my first choice - a daily special of a pork pie, was already out). http://www.yelp.co.uk/biz_photos/9oufq6AA6lwUbdOFoIjo-Q?select=VzMck6ZCGDOXUGbvE9JDpg My wife was happy with her burger, which came with a slice of British style bacon, and a big pile of chips. http://www.yelp.co.uk/biz_photos/9oufq6AA6lwUbdOFoIjo-Q?select=KEI72xhCqOFsrb5MPmBzEw Our local friend got the Cajun chicken served on a sizzling platter of veggies, and also came with a side of mash. Since my local friend knew that Cajun and Mexican are kinda the same in England, having slightly blackened chicken on a sizzling plate of fajita veggies fit the bill. The side of mashed potatoes was uninspiring in taste but made up for it in volume, while my side of veggies seemed to be prepared in the way that British veggies are stereotypically cooked: overcooked to the point of blandness but edible. Good food, friendly staff, reasonable prices (and they have a "credit crunch" menu and a kid's menu as well) If you're looking for food near Portchester Castle, this place will fit the bill well. and if you're looking for a pint of ale, they have a good selection at the bar.
