Breezes Cafe in Fareham

Forget the pub - the food here is really very good and they sell beer! The food is freshly cooked, well presented and quickly served. We were four adults and two children and we all chose different dishes ranging rom the quiche of the day to soup, a Full English, chilli, fish and chips ........ no complaints from anyone. Service is excellent. A gem of a place!

We love it here, a bit pricey, but the food is of a high standard We ordered our drinks and food, and our server was polite and very engaging .We sat and watched an array of amazing meals being served. Generous portions, too,and we were so looking for our order! We waited and waited and waited and on and on. After an hour, we had had enough! We didn't make a scene but told our very young front of house that we were not happy with the service,we even paid for our beverages and left.Im sorry, but this was shocking service! The management must take full responsibility! You're taking your custom for granted and basically employing kids! They need supervision and guidance it's not their fault! A mature, safe pair of hands needs to be in attendance to oversee your covers!! It's such a shame

Great place to stop for drinks and cakes. Up from the beach front itself,but there are several useful paths up the low cliffs along the shore. Views over the Solent are blocked by the (currently demolished) Osbourne View pub. Which is going to be rebuilt. Great choices for cake or scones.

We visited here for cream tea. What a delight! We were seated promptly and at a big table too for 3 of us. No table service but after ordering they were super quick with the delivery of the items. Lovely atmosphere, nice staff and very clean! (You could smell how clean it was) Will be visiting again!

Good quality food, nice location and friendly staff.

What a super dog friendly cafe, reasonable price ….good portions… lovely atomesphere well worth a visit …will defo be returning now discovered this little gem.

Unaccommodating and inattentive I can’t eat bread or potatoes so asked if instead of a fishfinger sandwich with chips could I just have a fishfinger with salad and was told that the chef won’t make any changes to menu items so had to go for the brunch and just leave the bread and hash brown - sad and unnecessary waste of food. Wasn’t once asked if everything was ok. When my water arrived it was just in a bottle and I had to ask for a glass and felt like I’d asked for the earth. Will not be going back.

Top class cake , and quality coffee

The only boys I've got in this cafe was when Mrs open the legs and went straight up by a scarf. The only boys I've got in this cafe was when this open her legs

With a couple of other local cafés closing down in recent months, We wouldn’t have been surprised if this venue had become a little complacent. Far from it. Straight up I will say that the coffee used in my cappuccino was possibly the best coffee I’d tasted in months. To accompany my coffee I also had a piece of banoffee pie that was absolutely gorgeous and had clearly been made freshly. The fact That so many people were in there for breakfast mid week is a real testament to how good this cafe is and we will definitely return at the next available opportunity.

The sandwiches and cream tea were lovely, and I would definitely visit again.

Visited for a friends baby shower, the afternoon tea was fantastic. Good value for money too! Cake was delicious. My daughter was a bit sad they had ran out of honeycomb cake after she ordered but we said we would return to try it another time. I would certainly recommend, friendly service, good value for money and great location

Delicious. Best place I've had whatever

I had a veggie brunch. The food was brought promptly, nicely cooked and presented, and very reasonably priced. Recommended.

Lovely little cafe. Only serves food until 2 but does serve cake until close. Probably worth booking on a weekend. Hope to make it in time for the menu next visit, although the sausage roll and banoffee pie were delicious.

Nice friendly atmosphere, staff always helpful, used to have a lovely tea room attached to Titchfield Nature Reserve, unfortunately, Hampshire County Council withdrew their subsidising, property has recently been sold. It's future unclear Further along the shore in Hill Head near the public conveniences, a guy has a mobile tea and coffee service most day, give him a visit you won't regret it

After a long walk we found Breezes and thought it looked lovely. We went but I don't know if it was a bad day but we felt like we were an inconvenience and the server just seemed unhappy. We assumed it was because it was the lunch period. The menu looked good and we were going to get the all day brunch but after slow service we decided to get a drink and move on. Both the younger lady and older lady just seemed annoyed but there was a younger man who I couldn't fault. He was cheery, friendly and was quick with our bill when we went to pay. However, the two ladies put us off enough to not want to order food. It may have been a bad day but it did make us find somewhere else to eat as it gave a bad atmosphere.

Love this cafe. Freshly prepared food. Big portions. Sensible prices. Worth heading in for breakfast.

Love this place..always great food and quantity. The cakes yummy 😋

Lovely, licensed cafe, good service, good food, dog and child friendly and a very short (1 min) walk to the beach.

Lovely little place with amazing home made cakes

Considering that this is a very popular venue we were somewhat underwhelmed by the “Breezes Brunch” we ordered. The sausages were dry and tasteless, the fried eggs were solid and the chunks of granary toast were buttered sparingly for us before we received them. The bacon was good, the tomato well cooked, the hash brown was wonderful, the mushrooms were well cooked, if dry, and the beans were piping hot. The sachet of tomato ketchup was the most generous size I’ve ever seen in an eatery 40 grams! The wait between ordering and the food arriving was about thirty minutes. Unfortunately we had finished our generous pot of tea for two long before the food arrived. Looking at other customers’ food we’d wishes we’d ordered something like a jacket potato that looked wonderful and the cakes on view were fantastic to look at (no room left to attempt to eat one though!) We will give Breezes another go, especially as it is dog-friendly, a rarity around the Gosport/Fareham area.

Little gem in Hill Head, across the road from our favourite pub The Osborne View (to be rebuilt). A lovely cafe, with an upstairs, it has a seaside vibe, light and airy. We both had a delicious sandwich, which to call a doorstop is an understatement, was made with really nice fresh bread, and they did not skimp on the filling, served with a small sideboard salad and crisps. Really good value. Will be visiting again soon for an afternoon tea, but I've also heard their breakfasts are very good, so give it a visit at any time of the day, I'm sure you won't be disappointed! #suppportlocalbusinesses

Update. Disappointed. I checked they closed at 4 when I arrived. At 15.29 i was told (politely) they would now shut at 15.30 so I was unable to finish my work 🙄 Although open for coffee n cake, I was told "the kitchen closes at 2pm" so there is absolutely nothing savoury available. Not even a sandwich or a filled roll. It transpired there were a few sausage rolls and the one I had was yummy 😋 This place is always friendly and relaxing. Unfortunately I was hungry today and when this happens again, I need to go somewhere else for savoury food if its after 2.

Top marks...(Almost). The food is delicious and the service comes with a proper smile. They also cater for dogs which is really important to me. He has sausage and biscuits.

Beautiful food with a good atmosphere

The first visit was lovely, tasty food and accomodating staff. However, I've been on 4 separate occasions since, during main lunch service times and they had stopped serving hot food each time for undisclosed reasons so the journey was wasted. I recommend trying to call ahead otherwise you'll probably be wasting your time, it's a nice enough place but I'm not rushing back for this reason.

You have to book for Sunday breakfast as it’s such a popular venue. We were there for 9 o’clock and had a cappuccino while we chose what to order. We chose the vegetarian avocado on toasted sourdough which came with tomatoes on the vine, sausages, strawberry and raspberry plus carrot strands and salad- altogether delicious. As always the staff were helpful and cheerful. A super start to Sunday.

Food was lovely staff were very attentive but unable to interact with customers as they seem under pressure and constantly monitored.

Had a late lunch. The food was good and the service was quick. The café is full of seaside artifacts. There is outside seating in an attractive courtyard.

On a recent visit, I was sat across from an old gentleman 83 i think he said, a delightful cheery chap. And he said how lovely the decor was and wanted to take a few photos, memories he said, he first visited this cafe on the day his wife had been cremated 3 years ago. So this day, the chap took some photos and I believe a member of staff may have been in the photo. He was ordered most rudely, by a female staff member to stop taking photographs and to delete them with immediate effect. The old guy, was visibly upset by this outrageous attack. To the point of repeatedly apologising and saying he would delete the pictures. The male server thrust the bill in his hand, (he hadn't asked for the hill) and was told never to come back. I went outside when he left and he was shaken beyond belief and was jot feeling well. What sort of staff does this to customers?. I for one will never go back, and I'm sure he won't either. I am disgusted..

Great atmosphere and very tasty food. Portions were big enough

A really lovely great to look at cafe, inside is quite unique, and you have space to move, not packed in like sardines. Menu good, varied, and reasonably priced. We had a seafood platter, ham egg (cooked to perfection) and chips, and a coronation jacket. Water was available. All the staff were friendly too. Only one toilet, but it was clean. Tables could have been cleaned between sittings a bit quicker, I would definitely visit again. Importantly the cafe allows dogs on a lead, so great if your on a coastal walk.

Absolutely appalling treatment from the staff!!! My uncle took a photo of the cakes and accidentally got the girl in the photo by mistake..before he could delete as he knew it was wrong a lady from the kitchens came storming through the café demanding he delete the picture.. now bare in mind my uncle is 85 yrs of age.. can you imagine how he felt.. he was beside himself!! He apologies and deletes the photo to then have the bill slapped on the table demanding he leaves and as he leaves the very rude young man say ‘AND DONT COMEBACK!!). My uncle has now been having heart palpitations and has not been well since the incident.. HOW GOD DAM RUDE ARE THOSE STAFF.. Would never go back there again and suggest nobody else does!!!.. they don’t deserve any customers after their actions.. not the way to deal with a poor 85 yr old !!!.. You should all be ashamed of yourselves!!!..

Popular cafe with an intereting seasonal food menu. Best to reserve a table at the weekend as they fill up fast when they start serving lunch at 12:00.

Great little café, great menu and service, and staff all really friendly and helpful

Great food and great value. Cake was awesome too!

Enjoyed a delicous lunch there , it is clean with reasonable prices, dog-friendly, good staff and serves great chips , brekfasts, home-made soup, delicous sandwiches.

Came for breakfast with friends, good coffee and we enjoyed a breakfast bap

My wife and I have just had lunch at breezes, we had the Charcuterie sharing platter - baked camembert, selection of deli meats, rosemary and sea salt focaccia and antipasti. This was outstanding quality and presentation, would thoughly recommend. Thank you Nicky and your wonderful team.

Good food and friendly staff. Close to the beach. A little pricey but worth it!

Tasty food and plenty of it, friendly service. Good value for money 😃

Great vfm Quality ..great service .

A quick visit on the way to Titchfield Haven Nature Reserve. A hidden gem! I recommend this lovely café. We will definitely return. Cosy atmosphere, staff are lovely, delicious food, good portions at a very reasonable price. I had the Breezes Brunch (basically an amazing breakfast) and my wife had the Chilli, which was very tasty and had quite a kick.

As good as ever, if not a little costlier. But worth the extra.

What’s not to love? Great location, great food, friendly staff and dog friendly.

Cozy cafe with good food and friendly service.

We are local and visited for their festive afternoon tea. It was fairly busy so we waited a while for the food to come out but I think the sandwiches were freshly made so we didn’t mind. Fabulous assortment of sandwiches, cakes and scones. Good quality bread, fillings nice and the cakes were excellent! Far far too much food so we took some home. Definitely recommend. It would have been nice to be able to specify for example no salmon, I’ll have say ham instead (one of the other fillings, not something completely different) and the butter was spread extremely thickly so I would ask next time for much less. These are small points but would make a difference and maybe something for the cafe to consider next year? However, we both thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon and will definitely be back next year for another!

Booked a Table for 6 for 12.30. It was on the 29th and appeared to be full. Turned up on time and stood by the sign requesting to wait to be seated soon joined by loads of other people. We did not mind waiting as it was quite busy but it took at least 5 mns for any of the waiters to acknowlege us and only when my husband said" May be someone will come and speak to us in a minute". At that point the mature lady waitress finely spoke to us and said we would have to bear with her as they were very busy. Eventually we were taken to our Table and told that the service would be quite slow and she appeared very stressed. In all fairness the main course came quite quickly and was well prepared and tasty. However the young male waiter taking our desert order was rather uninterrested and a member of our party described him as aggressive. He did not even bother clearing the Table before bringing our pudding and we had to push our crockery to one side . We were overall disappointed by the poor service resulting in our opinion from poor training and bad organisation.

My third year having the festive afternoon tea here and it’s always excellent. A lovely variety of flavours and great attention to detail. We always come away with some cakes we couldn’t manage but that’s all part of the fun and prolongs the experience. Can’t fault this experience and looking forward to next year.

Went to this lovely cafe at HillHead for Christmas brunch and it was lovely. You get a 3 course brunch plus a cold drink and a hot beverage included in the very reasonable price. The staff in there work ever so hard and are always seem to go the extra mile to make your dining experience enjoyable. It's also dog friendly too for well behaved doggies. We've been there several times just for a coffee or a takeaway drink but this was our first time we've eaten there. I can't fault anything or anybody who works there in this lovely little cafe. Well done to all!

Lovely little cafe, even better that it's dog friendly and you can buy little dog meals for them (biscuits & sausage) The cooked breakfast were nice and staff very helpful.

Each year I arrange a Christmas party for friends and neighbours and this year we decided to have a lunch rather than a dinner as most of our friends are retired so no problem in attending lunchtime festivities. Breezes is usually closed on a Tuesday in the winter but Nicky kindly agreed to open the restaurant for our private lunch. As always Nicky produced a superb menu with the option of two or three courses followed by mince pies and coffee. The food was fantastic with most choosing the lamb shank for main course which was very large. Starters and deserts were also delicious. Nicky organises things so well with a spread sheet of people’s pre-orders so it’s never a problem for people to pay individually or as a couple with drinks included. Nicky is also good in choosing staff so Eli and Sam gave us excellent service. A wonderful Tuesday lunchtime!

Really pleasant cafe serving good quality food.

Just had an excellent fish finger sandwich for lunch. Super friendly staff who were very helpful to ensure our dogs were settled 🙂

First visit to this lovely area after a walk in and around the Meon shore. Had a breakfast, first class ingredients in an attentive comfortable environment. Restaurant is split into areas, dog friendly in the front part. I thought it was good value for the quality of the food. Breakfast menu until 11.30 I think but a good varied menu otherwise. Will definitely return. Car parking at rear, said it was for the boozer opposite but don’t think it’s particularly monitored, otherwise on street parking too.

Just had a lunch break here with my Wife n Niece (she was asleep though!). I had the brunch with 2 of the biggest best sausages ever put on a breakfast! The cream tea was spot on and milkshakes amazing (try the Biscoff). The Afternoon teas looked really good someone next to us had ordered one. Dogs are allowed they even have a small food menu for them! Kitchen stops at 1400, but cakes are available through till 1600. With the tea party in Lee closed now this is a ideal alternative. Parking is for the pub opposite but plenty of space along the road.

Great location with fantastic food 👌👌

Highly recommend. Lovely food, reasonably priced, and attentive staff. Will definitely be back again soon.

My wife and I met at Breezes 8 years ago and Nicky always does us a special meal on our anniversary. We have a special table upstairs and we feel very spoilt. This year we had halibut on the bone with a selection of vegetables followed by a superb fruit with white chocolate sauce desert. We finished with liqueur coffees. Our only regret is that we can’t come here every day for a fantastic lunch. I have a birthday celebration here in a couple of weeks and I’m sure the food for my 30 guests will be just as delicious. Thank you Nicky for all the trouble you go to and superb food with delicious sauces.

Very pleased with this little place: good food and drink very reasonably priced, friendly and helpful staff and very accommodating of our baby. Big thumbs up.

Go here quite regularly, nothing but good quality food, all your typical farm shop style sausages and bacon on the breakfasts, you can't go wrong. Good coffee and every single meal you get here is pure quality. And top it off its Right near to the beach, so you can go for a beach walk after.

A long wait which was fine if the food was good. Ordered 2 x bacon toasted sandwiches and specialty asked for butter - served with spread. Returned. Came back with butter still in wrapper and hard. The bacon now cold. Very disappointing.

Just got a take away cream tea, now sat on the beach in the sunshine , lovely 🙂. Thank you very much Sarah and Jordan.

Waited 40 mins for a breakfast and Eggs Benedict, breakfast was bad, burnt toast and plate full of water from poached eggs. Eggs Benedict was ok, but toast soggy from the water from eggs. Expensive for what it is.

Excellent coffee and cake. And thats all you need to know!

It's an ok Cafe but expensive for what you get. I spent 13 on a coffee and a bacon and egg sandwich with added hash brown and i got one but it was little. two bites and it was gone could do better there was no flavor but the granary bread was decent

Never had a bad breakfast here. Staff always pleasant and helpful. Very clean. Highly recommend

Great food and good value. Minor point. A bit tight on the baked bean portions (Very small container).

We had full English and pancakes, quality and taste was disappointing. Service, coffee and location was good.

Lovely coffee & pancakes after a dog walk on the beach.

I brought my friend to Breezes for her 1st visit and she loved it, as I knew she would ...she said she would make sure she visits again too.

Superb lunch, fairly priced, generous portions with artistic presentation. Peaceful atmosphere and friendly staff make this a true gem .

We booked for 12:30, but had to change this to 1:30 - 2, at which point we were told there would be no hot food available, only sausage rolls and cake. By the time we ordered, ie after 20 mins, there were no sausage rolls, and only a small selection of cake. Very disappointing. I wouldn’t consider sandwiches or scones, cooking, and wonder why these were not available. Perhaps if you do not intend to offer anything other than what is left of your cakes, you should show your closing time as 2 and not 4. Have never come across this sort of lack of service in any other cafe, especially one that advertises afternoon tea. Very disappointed Breezes management.

Clearly pushing to be a place of choice to book near the beach and RSPB area here. Clean and tasteful beachy decor to greet you. Staff attentive and keen. Bit disappointed with the attitude on the menu to allergies and intolerance. Felt a bit hit and miss and not valued as customers because of this even though they did offer to swap some items like bread it ended up being without the salad and fruit that standard breakfast option had... Needs more thought IMHO or not keen to go again. All cooked well and no complaints overall. Everything felt to me like it needed that last push to get to five stars. Well done though and for most people perfect I am sure.

A lovely little place with an excellent full English, not cheap but really tasty.

Just a bit below average. Grubby toilet, odd arrangement for ordering outside that requires you to walk round to a window at the front to order food, paying immediately, then repeat to order desert, repeat for coffee. no waiting service.

If you're hungry & looking for a breakfast of champions, I would recommend the Kitesurfers breakfast. It is absolutely delicious and worth every penny 😋

Brilliant tasting brunch,but very slow service.

I've visited Breezes in the past and enjoyed the food. I decided to pop in after a long walk to pick up some cake to take away. I noticed on the chalkboard it said large slice for £3.75 so I was looking forward to a naughty treat when I got home. The cake was whole and when the server lifted my slice and put it in the box I couldn't help but say 'that's a large slice??'! It was a disappointingly small slice, she simply said they were pre-cut to that size. I did feel shortchanged. The cake (banoffee pie) was very nice but it was gone before I knew it. Maybe change the chalkboard to a 'slice' so people don't get their hopes up!

Friendly staff on the takeaway counter

Went in for breakfast and was very disappointed the staff weren’t friendly or helpful the service was very poor we even had to ask to order our food and drinks. The food wasn’t great either, overall I wouldn’t recommend to anyone and will not be going back

Nice cosy part upstairs. Good coffee and Gluten Free cheesecake at Easter was a winner.

Excellent food great service and nice atmosphere

Service quick, allowed dogs, food came out quick, was tasty and filling and great value for money

Best cheesecake I've ever eaten, bar none

A few weeks ago I went around to quite a few different cafes with a friend to have a catch up. I've got to say this was my favourite of the day. The staff where friendly, the price was well and the food was amazing. I will definitely be coming back. Thank you 😀

Excellent Kitesurfers breakfast, top quality food at acceptable prices

Nice place food good... You have to book though, which for me is a bit pretentious for a café. Would be nice to be able to drop in after a walk!

Lovely cafe, with great food. Deliciously hot, hot chocolate and 10 out of 10 for putting my adult hot milk in a latter glass rather than a kids cup like so many places do. We will be back again

Great breakfast venue, make sure to book a table to avoid disappointment

Went for brunch today. Lots of empty tables. Waitress did not enquire about my visit, more interested with the clipboard rather than engaging. Very disappointed with service. Quite clearly flustered so I left without any concern by staff.

More often than not, over several visits, we have been made to feel an inconvenience. Staff have seemed more keen to talk to each other behind the counter than attend to customers. Yesterday my friend was made to feel inadequate for being by herself. She left.

Loved our tea, sausage roll & Bakewell cake, very tasty & a great location set back from the sea front. Friendly staff who are chatty & welcoming. Awesome collection of cakes, great to fill a hole after a brisk walk by the sea. We will definitely be back when next in the area. Thank you.

They were very busy on a Sunday lunch and you'd need to book to get a table. We didn't, but they offered takeaways. It was quite slow (25 mins), which they did warn us about, however when they came the fish finger sandwiches were excellent: a great hunk of farmhouse bread, lots of fish, nice chips and a fresh mixed salad. The beach is 2 minutes' walk.

Not happy about waiting to be seated, only because there was a lot of staff pretty much ignoring us for ten minutes, bit rude! Other than that it was worth a visit.

Always good food and service,. Dog friendly too which is always a bonus. Nice dog menu of Cumberland sausage and biscuits and only£1, great value.

Great sausage rolls and good coffee

Really nice refuge close to car park on way to the beach. The photos of the area that are used as decor are really amazing. Very friendly team serving you lovely food. The large bowl of soup kept us fed for the whole day.

Friendly, fast service, great food and coffee. The inside is prettier than the outside.
