Quick info
About The Rose In June
On Milton Rd in Portsmouth, The Rose In June is a pub that holds an annual beer festival in late June, with an outside bar set up in the garden for the occasion. The bar keeps several real ales on, often four or five, alongside ciders, so the festival builds on what the pub already pours. In the kitchen, stone baked pizza is cooked to order, and garlic and Parmesan chicken wings sit alongside it. A ploughman's lunch is served with a choice of cheddar, Stilton and Brie, or beef and ham. Football is shown on the TV, and the large garden also hosts other events through the year.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often single out the stone baked pizza, cooked to order and served in the large garden, with garlic and Parmesan chicken wings also earning a mention. Close behind is the real ale, with four or five ales on and one pint of HSB praised, along with ciders and a well attended beer festival. Ploughman's lunches with cheddar, Stilton and Brie or beef and ham are described as great value, and several call the prices good. Staff come across as friendly and welcoming, and the garden, often used for summer events, gets repeated praise. Reviewers also describe an old school pub with a good landlord, football on the tv, and a busy but comfortable crowd after matches at Fratton Park. No recurring complaint appears, though one visitor notes the pub was very busy on match day yet service stayed good. One reviewer says the pizza smelled great while popping in for a single drink, and others plan to return for next year's beer festival.

“What a great find… fresh stone baked pizza cooked to order. Unreal taste and quality. All served outside in family friendly pub garden. Outside bar an added bonus. All staff friendly and welcoming… special mention to David (pizza chef) and Lucy. What a wonderful way to spend a sunny Saturday… get yourself diwn there!”

“One of the best pubs in Pompeii, regularly four or five ales always in good condition. And a large beer garden. Beer festival Sunday 29 June 2025, it was brilliant. Roll on next year.”
