Head down to Portchester and you'll find yourself in a proper neighbourhood spot that hasn't been mucked about with. The Cormorant sits right on the water, giving you that waterside calm without the pretension you'd get elsewhere. It's the kind of pub where regulars know the staff by name and newcomers feel welcome anyway—no velvet ropes, no nonsense. The food's straightforward but done well, and the ratings speak for themselves; people keep coming back because it actually delivers.
