Default Gosport - Don't try this one

Landers - we had a party of 12, food was disgracefully bad - undercooked, and mussles boiled to death. Thoroughly unpleasant when we negotiated the bill having sent back most of our main courses.

Not been there for about 12 months but remember it being expensive for what it was i.e. very average food for top price. Unfortunately Gosport is not blesses with many (any) quality restaurants.

When we said we would only pay for the wine, they called the police! Police arrived - and we said it was a civil matter, as we had paid what it was worth. - Fine, the police then searched all the staff handbags for drugs!!!

It was so bad that I went hungry - thats never ever happened before. Baked beens on the boat after....
