Andy Dinsdale – Gosport pubs: G & D and Emma’s

Simon: You didn’t have a favourite Submariner’s Pub 

Well I guess the G and D is always the one, the George and Dragon that everyone goes to ‘cos it’s sort of walking … you come out of Dolphin, go over the Bridge and it’s the one straight opposite you, but I guess even as a Submariner’s run ashore, you tend to come out of Dolphin, go over the Bridge, go to the George and Dragon to start with, and then you’d probably get the Gosport Ferry across to Portsmouth and go into Portsmouth.

Simon: Did you ever experience Emma’s?

Emma’s? Yeah, absolutely, and everyone does. People went there and as I say, I guess it was the George and Dragon, if you were going to stay in Gosport, you’d go to Emma’s. If you’re not, you’d be over the water somewhere else in Portsmouth.
