The Portsmouth Arms Public House, Basingstoke WHERE IS IT? This is a delightful looking pub situated very close to the M3 (junction 7) in Basingstoke. The pub was built next to the Hatch Warren estate. The first time it was built, shortly afterwards it caught fire and burnt down. I think it was caused by an electrical fault. The pub was then rebuilt and opened for a second time around July 1997. As you travel along Cliddesden Lane, you come across The Portsmouth Arms, which has a nice, fairly large, green grass frontage surrounded by a simple wooden fence. WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE? There is ... more

It's not a nice place to be when busy, lots of nasty types and since the landlord left even more seem to be making it there local. You know the type bad ... more

I have been to this pub a few times and found it ok, nothing special. The Portsmouth Arms misadventures in 2010. The ex landlord was almost run down by a punter on purpose, the Police were involved. Bar staff argued with a punter and had glasses thrown at them. Police were called. A lot of fights according to a member of staff there and some staff appearing high at times. Great shame these things go on in any pub, unfortunately this one cannot escape it's past at present. A new brush perhaps. Hopefully that would solve the problems here and allow it to move on ina more stable fashion. It ... more
