The Eastney Tavern — Restaurant in Portsmouth

Been a few times recently, it's a traditional pub and the interior is lovely and really want to like it here more than we do. We've been served by the same person who is abrupt and unfriendly, maybe different if you're a regular I don't know, since so many people say they're treated well. When we went with family and ordered food they were hostile when we questioned a difference between what was written on the menu and what arrived in the plate, and I saw a member of bar staff rolling her eyes at my partner at the bar when he asked about where the baby change was.
