The Osborne View, Fareham

Oh dear. To begin with, once you enter the car park you cannot get out unless your buy. The exit code is printed on your receipt. One was spikes on the entrance to a car park? Not a good sign. And so it pans out.

I had popped in for a swift half while I ordered a takeaway from across the road. I walked in and found one of those desks at the front where you wait to be seated. I was under the misapprehension this was a pub and I was asked if I wanted a table for one. I replied, 'no, I would like a beer' and was told there was a table on the far side of the pub. I pointed out I was quite happy to stand at the bar and was told that was OK if that was what I wanted. So, I stood at the bar and ordered a half. £2.05 for half of an average bitter. It was clear that drinkers are not welcome so I poured it down and left.

The whole place has a vibe of 'we don't want you, we want your money'.

In one word? AVOID
