About
The Old Customs House sits proudly in Portsmouth’s historic Gunwharf Quays, inside the restored Vernon Building that once served the Royal Navy’s customs office. Today it offers a contemporary pub experience steeped in maritime heritage, with a comfortable lounge, an outdoor terrace that overlooks the harbour and the iconic Spinnaker Tower, and a menu of freshly prepared pub classics and seasonal dishes. Guests can enjoy a relaxed brunch every day from 10 am, a full‑hour bar service until late, and the chance to soak in waterfront views while sipping local ales, wines and spirits.
