Top quality and tasty food+ beautiful price.來Portsmouth的餐廳首選!性價比超高 We ordered: ★🐠 &chips, Ale battered fish with chunky chips 💯 the portion is massive! Never thought I'll enjoy this British classic sooo much 💕 ★Beef carpaccio, with seasoning related to the seafood dish, is very interesting and good quality👏👏 ( better than many beef dishes I've tried in France) ★scallop tartare, fusion with Asian elements, I was not expecting such successful results 👍(So many times Westerners created strange fusion, looks and sounds cool but not tasty at all, they just misuse those ingredients...🫠) We also love the cake: brownies with cherry sorbet. More than 7 elements involved in creating this dessert. Appreciate they put effort on it, all the details spot on. The cherry sorbet was really outstanding😋

Absolutely love the food especially the catch of day on my last visit of the Venue, very friendly and personable service, love the garden , very secluded and away from the wind ! Dog friendly and an independent pub most importantly!!

So far, their fish & chips should be the top one or two I had tried in the UK. But I only travelled to some cities and never searched for the best except that I visited in London. Certainly, their price is in proportion to the price. I think the difference is not double or could be 60 or 70%. Their staff is nice so why did I give three stars? First, I was sitting outside, so they did not have much chance to serve us. By the way, i think they should make the table stand steady on the ground that is not flat. Second, one of the reasons I visited is that they painted on the wall that they have a wonderful garden. I believe it is not the open dining area in the front door. When I asked their staff, smiley, showed us to that open area. Isn't it because I did not make it clear? Language problems? The outside area is noting attractive, so there's no much atmosphere I could have experienced. I may visit this restaurant again, but it should not be the top of my list. P.S. a small fish shop is on the other side, thus it gave me an immigration to link with fish & chips.

Been eating and drinking here for years and tonight’s experience was no different, great location, great service and great food, the new pizza oven is a brilliant new introduction, but more veggie options please. The hidden gem is Camber Wines upstairs where they have an amazing choice of wines. Enjoyed my food and evening so much I forgot to take photos.

Update 10/2021 - 02/2023: All of the below still applies without question, a very consistent restaurant. Great tasting food from a seasonally changed menu. The surroundings are of superb quality, perfect for a lovely slap up meal, or just drinks if you wish. They have an excellent selection of wines with knowledgeable staff to help you choose. It has a very friendly environment and first class service. The outside seating areas (front and back) are most enjoyable in the summer months.

I've been here twice within the past two months with different friend, and spent too much money.... But it was WORTH IT! The first time I came here, we went to the wine tasting experience. It was light hearted, enjoyable, educational, and beautifully finished off with some tasty food. The second time we went purely for food, but somehow bought a couple of bottles of a beautiful champagne from Sussex. Each time we were looked after by friendly attentive team members, and I have no doubt I shall return in the near future.

Great atmosphere. Not always easy to get booked. Food was great. Limited choice for vegans but the vegan pizza I had was great. Top quality wines. Not fully accessible if you can't manage steps.

First time here as not local on honeymoon and had been recommended to eat here. On approaching didn't look like what we thought as loads of people out the front drinking. Guessing you could eat out as tables outside. Once inside a different story, restaurant is lovely not overly big well the part we were in on the left as you come through the door. Amazing selection of wines. Limited menu but something for everyone, the wait is worth it beautiful food and well presented. They do have a specials board. There was a fairly long wait between courses but we don't mind this though one table near us were not so happy. Personal preference I guess we like to make an evening of it if eating out. Highly recommend and the desserts to die for. We will return when in the area again. Gets busy so booking in advance is recommended

Always reliably good. Chose the special this time, turbot with smoked haddock arancini & mussel sauce. Absolutely delicious.

Very nice place to eat! We ate the special of the day and everything was really good. Always ask to the waiters what they suggest here 🙂 I’ll go back for sure.

Just nipped in whilst waiting for the IOW ferry. Had the best pizza I've had in a long time. Shame we're the other side of the water as it would definitely be a regular haunt. If we're early for the ferry again we'll be back.

Very tasty food . Good choice of wine. Friends enjoyed their bream and the seafood pizza. I had the celeriac steak which was good.

Feels brisk, bight and breezy. A wood-fired pizza oven for simple, authentic pizza, but more interesting for its varied à la carte menu. Our choice: Fish of the Day (Sea Bream) and Pumpkin & Maple soup. Excellently prepared, with unexpected attention to detail - wonderful, crisp pan fried Sea Bream, with the contrasting texture of both crisply-fried and pickled fennel to garnish. If the only fault you can find is that the carrots and celery in the mirepoix could have been cut a fraction smaller, then it must be getting close to Michelin perfect! The desserts - Rum Baba and Raspberry Parfait - beautifully presented and quite simply delicious!
