Perched on Portsmouth’s only hill, Portsdown Hill; The Churchillian offers some of the best views across the city. Under new ownership, it’s entering an exciting new chapter. Chris Vaux, a local landlord already known for The Dolphin and The Shepherd’s Crook, is bringing fresh energy and independence to the pub, updating the menu and overall experience, all whilst keeping the character that makes it so special.
The menu is packed with crowd-pleasers, from Traditional Fish & Chips (GF) and Steak & Ale Pie, to Fajita Chicken with smoky spice and chilli-lime drizzle, a colourful Mezze Platter (VE, GFA) and the hearty Classic Ploughman’s. There’s something to satisfy everyone, whether you’re looking for a comforting lunch or a relaxed dinner with friends.
Drinks are equally impressive, with a carefully curated selection to suit all tastes, ensuring your visit is just as enjoyable at the bar as it is at the dining table.
All of this comes with the bonus of incredible views; one side looks out across Portsmouth, while the other stretches over the rolling South Downs, blending city skyline and countryside calmness. Whether you’re stopping by for a drink with a view, a casual lunch, or a sunset dinner, The Churchillian is ready to welcome you with a warm, friendly and an excellent independent-pub experience.
