Portman

Est 1778. Rebuilt in 1870. It was the Masons Arms, latterly run by Hall & Woodhouse until their lease expired in 2009. Reopened under new name in 2011, as a modern upmarket gastro, this area apparently being "Portman Village". There is limited space around an island bar, with modernised decor, pale paintwork. Restaurant upstairs and the food offering is a daily changing a la carte menu with some pub classics. Busy enough, but drinkers seem to be welcome. The pub is under the same ownership as the nearby Larrik, Inda Pubs Ltd.
