The Trooper Inn

Very good.

We used to use this pub regularly for both drinks & meals & even chose to have our wedding reception here when Hassen owned it. It was such a great place with a warm welcome & a regular dining experience for us. The place was very quiet for Friday evening at 20.30 with no one eating! Unfortunately this evening after dining in Portsmouth where we had booked thankfully as it was so busy, we decided to stop off at the Trooper to look at the menu to book a family occasion. After the trip I needed the loo & as I know the place I went to go to toilet & left my husband to order the drinks. I could hear the barmaid saying to my husband where was I going to which he replied she needs the loo. Her reply was normally, people order drinks & ask first!!. After we sat down my husband said she wasn't very happy to which the bar person thumb signalled to my husband asking if everything was OK, then proceeded to call my husband a Tw*t infront of the whole bar. To say I was gobsmacked is an understatement!! We drank our drinks whilst she stood fuming behind the bar. We left not willing to return & certainly would not recommend.

Very disappointed The pub was closed so you can not get a drink or a meal on Mondays or Tuesdays. I managed to stay in this hotel without physical seeing a single member of staff as there are non on duty. You get given a door code and a phone number. When I made the booking it was not mentioned that the whole place is closed. This is not local to any pubs or restaurants, they are at least a 10 minute drive to get a meal. Even breakfast was help yourself with no staff present. Would I stay again, No.
