You don't have to do tricks at the Dolphin

The argument goes, this is the oldest pub in Portsmouth. Either that or the Wellington nearby.
Anyway in the gap before christmas, I slotted in this meetup at the Dolphin old Portsmouth. It was extensively refurbished 3 years ago and is a very good place to have a drink or two. Food served until 9pm.
Easy to find, its opposite the cathedral. Parking is possible with luck along High Street, or bus No. 25 goes past.
