Pub for Sunday

The Rutland Arms, 205 Francis Avenue, Southsea, PO4 0AL.

The Rutland was built as a hotel shortly before the turn of the 20th century and was another pub designed in a brewers tudor style by A E Cogswell. It was originally a Pike Spicer pub and eventually ended up in the hands of Whitbread. The large one-bar interior is divided into two distinct areas, with comfortable furnishings. A small selection of quality ales is served.
