Best Seasonal Restaurants in Portsmouth

What’s not to like about this pub/ lovely afternoon with friends & our dogs in a nice chilled setting

Stopped for lunch, party of 5. Good service and good choice of food and drinks. Three of us had pizza, the other 2 had pasta, food was hot and tasty, would recommend!

Just a few niggles, with food Ham Hock terrine lovely but pickles very sharp would have been better with sweet pickle or apple chutney. Fish and Chips excellent but all piled on top needed a bigger plate had to eat through fish to get to chips. Cheese Board All the crackers were the same and not particularly good, no grapes just slices of very sour apple and no pickle the gherkin and picalilli from the terrine would have been perfect here. All in All the quality of the food was excellent but 🤷 Also the music that was playing was depressing, a recording of someone doing very bad covers of what originally were miserable songs

The fish soup was great unfortunately the steak was not good half of it was rare and half was medium it all should have been medium rare. It was taken off the bill but I would have preferred a perfectly cooked steak. Pistachio soufflé was as good as it always is but the crumble lacked crumble on top and there was not enough custard Service was very good. Overall it was a shame the food wasn’t great today.

Excellent value. Staff lovely 😊 great music overall nice bar
