For mine and Andy's big night out we met up in The Crown, bottom of Fareham High Street. This used to be the nice quiet old man option, but since the Brass Monkey / Market Tavern seems to not want anyone at all in any more, everyone's in the Crown instead. This meant service was a bit slow, and it was a bit busy and a bit noisy. It used to be the nice option for a Wetherspoon, but now I'm not so sure.
