   Lovely pub/restaurant and food was superb. Was let down by the lack of decoration for Valentines night though. A few crepe paper hearts. Music was good though and service wonderful.

   POOR. Booked on a sunday, for OBVIOUS reasons. arrived, seated, menus given to us - only to THEN be told they’ve run out of roasts. I completely understand kitchens run out of things but if you’re a gastro pub and you run out of ROASTS on a SUNDAY. I 100% think you should let bookings know. Complete waste of time, is a shame as looked nice online.

   What a little gem of a place, the food was outstanding with excellent gluten free choices. Huge portions, we would have liked a dessert but was so full up we couldn’t manage one. Beautiful restaurant with fantastic staff that made us feel very welcome.we will definitely be returning when we visit southsea again.

    We booked via Open Table but the team who greeted us were not aware. We were offered 2 tables which were both away from the bar area which we wanted. The server said she’d be back to take our order but we ended up going to the bar to get drinks after 10 minutes. Our server didn’t return so we pulled a waitress over to take our food order. Our food arrived within 15 minutes however there wasn’t any cutlery on the table so we waited another couple of minutes for that to arrive. We requested sauces, seasoning and water for the table. The sauces arrived but the salt, pepper and water did not. The food was presented well and quality of produce seemed very good. For the price I’d expect to have a more attentive experience.
