About

The Lady Hamilton Portsmouth first traded as “The Nags Head” as a public house in 1716. Closing in 1920 the pub then became a wine merchants supplying the Royal Navy. The premises then became a bookshop which was part of Gieves & Hawkes who incidentally made the uniform that Lord Nelson died In.

In 1992 the building was then purchased by Bill & Rose Scott who converted it back to its former glory of a public house.In 2014 Bill & Rose retired and the building was then sold to Lim family. After a mini refurbishment the pub now hopes to once again continue to serve you one of “the best roasts in town” with many of the former staff back in the kitchen!

The Lady Hamilton Portsmouth bar is stocked with premium beer, ciders and 2 guest ales on the handpull.

Bed & breakfast accommodation is also available with stunning views across The Hard. Being based in The Hard means that the Lady Hamilton has many advantages; it is easy to get to, close to Gunwharf Quays shopping centre and a stone’s throw away from some stunning harbour views.

The inside of the pub has a very quintessential English feel to it – a throwback to days gone by for punters.

Don’t be fooled, however; this restaurant has all the flair of a modern public house. According to many of the locals, the roast dinners, available every day, are absolutely divine, with a complete selection of meats and veg piled onto the plate, it will leave visitors feeling very satisfied indeed; if it takes your fancy, wash it down with a craft ale or two afterwards.
