The Sally Port Inn — Restaurant in Portsmouth

This gorgeous old pub is steeped in history and visiting here will be an experience to remember. Not only do they have one of the largest collections of rum in the world but upstairs is @sallyantiques, a huge shop spanning over 3 floors showcasing thousands of genuine antiques for across the ages.

I've been to a lot of pubs & drunk a lot of cocktails in my time but I can honestly say that the cocktails here are truly something else. Their cocktail menu is extensive with something to please everybody's tastes. At £10 each these cocktails are great value as they're all made fresh by hand and are certainly generous when it comes to the amount of alcohol used. The glasses are chilled before they're used so your cocktail will remain deliciously cooled for longer & the decorations used are stunning with gorgeous edible flowers & gold, honestly thought some of them looked too pretty to drink 😍

The owner, Mark, takes pride in his pub & has worked hard to restore it to a high standard but also keeping its historical qualities. The pub is dog friendly & is located just a stones throw from the sea wall. If you get peckish whilst having your drinks then Mark often comes around with a tray of complimentary sausage rolls & snacks 😋

So much right but so much wrong

Popped in while visiting family, we had been advised it was a great pub with a nice atmosphere and no kids running around to spoil things

So far that advice was correct but when we got inside we found that it was cashless.........sorry I don't use cards or apps so would not be able to pay, staff were quite offhand about this so we had no choice but to go somewhere else.

I appreciate most people have cards but I find the best way to budget is to carry cash, when it is spent I know I have reached my budget & there are almost 9 million people without card accounts in the UK so this is disenfranchising so many people, in addition with cash you cannot suddenly find unexpected charges on your bank account as you can where...
