The Drummond Arms, Portswood

This is a pub I missed last year as I didn't know it existed. Anyway, visiting today. Five pumps, one is Old Rosie cider, one is not used, one is turned round, and the other two are Ringwood. Does food from Thursdays onwards. Veggie curry and a pint of Ringwood, should be OK. The Ringwood Old Thumper is not fresh, but is drinkable. The food takes an age to arrive.

L shaped room with pool table at one corner and a TV at the other with the main door in the middle. A typical local boozer with several customers on my visit. A little larger then the average back street local, and a little cold.

I came again, and wrote a full and decent report on the place, but lost it in an internet glitch, and then was so disheartened I didn't want to write it up again. Comments were about the helpfulness of the staff as regards the meal I had, and that the pub accommodated both students and the general public to create a warm and genuine locals pub.
