Micro brewery serving a good selection of non commonly available drinks.do not expect bog standard lagers etc. Good food as well,but a small menu. Good staff nice setting ,enjoyable place to eat and drink.

Unusually, we experienced poor service this time. Lots of confusion about table booking, drinks order amd deposit refund - no fault of very new staff, more a lack of management oversight. Food and atmosphere great.

Firstly, the food was very good. The bacon/chilli Jam burger was great. The service however was way below what you would expect. Taken to the table with no explanation of how to order, ordering at the bar took 15 minutes+ to get served when the line had barely 4 people in. Open concept kitchen with a chef that wouldn't stop whistling obscenely loud was insufferable. Even if he did make a nice burger.

None of the food was fresh and even the chips were poorly fried/heated. That says it all really. Floor was sticky, although I’m sure it’s a nice place for Sunday afternoon drinks and watching a game of football

Exceedingly over-priced for a far below average place. The place isn’t that clean, the food was terrible, especially considering the price. The waitress forgot multiple items and was nowhere to be seen for the majority of our meal. Back to the food, 5/9 of our party became sick after eating here, the place should be ashamed and frankly closed down they’re that bad Will never go back

First choice wasn't available so I ordered nachos with side of spicy mushrooms. I let the server know that I didn't want any chillis. When the meal came up it was covered in slices of red chilli. It was taken away, and returned too quickly for anything other than the chillis to have been removed from the dish and given back. Once I started to eat I realised that there were also lots of green chilli slices, I picked these out. Chillis give me an upset stomache nothing worse. In the current climate it was worrying that my request wasn't adhered too and could have far more serious consequences for someone else.

Very poor service from the bar maid this evening - unpleasant to a lady customer who enquired about their wine and was undecided what to drink. When the customer asked for a small sample (as good craft beer houses allow), the barmaid flatly refused and didn’t explain why. Needless to say the customer left and didn’t purchase anything. I was appalled at her treatment and I won’t be returning here again. (I had previously thought it was a decent enough place but clearly I was mistaken if they can treat anybody like that.)

Outstanding service; our server really knew her stuff about the beers available, hugely impressive. We were a party of five and had a range of dishes including wings, calama ri, bacon fries and more; nicely cooked and went well with the range of beers we enjoyed. Note that our price range was inflated by our indulgence of the IPAs over 4hrs, easy done.

It was a rocky start to our experience Booked for 1700 Ordered drinks but they didn’t have the beer my husband wanted Then told that the chef was busy preparing a buffet so no orders could go into the kitchen for 10 minutes or so Eventually at 1730 we could order and the good when it came was good .. hence the mixed review We were there at 1700 because we needed to be elsewhere at 1830 so no time for what we wanted I have no problem with a restaurant which doesn’t offer food until 1730 but not when it confirms your booking for 1700 For that reason I cannot really recommend

I come here very often and always happy with the quality of food. However, I’m disappointed with the bar. The menu states some cocktails come with seasonal fruits or a slice of orange. Ordering Pimm’s lemonade, I’m told they don’t have fruits… Ordering Aperol spritz, there is no orange. As a result, the cocktails looks poor for the price. Also, it would be nice if waiting staff put their hair up at least in pony tails when serving food :)

We’ve eaten here a few times over the years and always been good. However this time I came in before a show at the guildhall, we asked about food times due to the show (they have a sign saying let us know if you are going to the theatre) she said there’s no current wait, and that everyone in there was going to the show “so we should be fine”. After 2 of us choosing the “beercan chicken” we were then told it was off the menu. I opted for the schnitzel instead, asking if they could use BBQ sauce , she said they’ll bring some on the side. Food took 50 minute wait (we were planning to be in and out in 1 hour- 90 minutes). The 3 other people ordered burgers and food came at the same time. My schnitzel followed 5-10 minutes later, minus any bbq sauce I quieted it by they just seemed confused, so I left it. It was evident it had been over cooked by its colour. But when trying to cut through it, it was so tough I couldn’t. The whole piece was hard. No staff had come past the table since dropping off the food so I walked to find someone. I explained and they offered to cook another, but I said I didn’t really have the time. They did say if they had another already cooking they could potentially bring one out. The waitress came back to my table and took my food, advising they’ll take it off the bill. They never came back. I never had any food, so I went without dinner before the show. We were never offered any more drinks (after ordering initially) no staff came to clear the plates. The table next to us couldn’t flag down staff to pay their bill, so both us and the table next to us went to the bar and queued to pay. That was that! We paid up and I left hungry. Had we had more time I would have spoken up more, but at this point it was too late and we needed to get off. Disappointing as I regularly go to a number of different brewhouses. They seemed quite low on staff, and wholly absent through the time in there, Hopefully this was just a one off but I won’t come back to this one,

Some friends and I went for the Christmas bottomless brunch, Staff 10 out of 10 they were great! Attentive, postive attitudes and smiley.. the festive brunch. It was okay. Nachos were good, the potatoes were nice, but the turkey bites a little dry, and - the wrap- it’s a little bit bland and dry - it could do with a little seasoning and a gravy dip would be the perfect finisher! The cocktails - lovely all of them!!

Had a lovely brie and cranberry panini and cappuccino from here, but unfortunately staff quite distracted by justeat orders, didn't get any form of greeting when walked in, had to wait facing someone's back until they were ready to turn around.

I have been visiting the Poppins Café in Cosham occasionally for many years. What I like about the place is the consistence of what you get… If you like the food, they serve you are sure to get the same time and time again. It is quite a large café and can seat lots of people. The staff are always extremely polite and attentive. Your food order is delivered in a reasonable time. If you are arriving by car there is some free parking (1 hour max) close by, which is good. The spaces are limited so it is a bit of a lucky dip. I will continue to visit from time to time. Some of my reviews may seem unforgiving but I come from a time when everything was not “Awesome” and “near enough was not good enough”. So, if I say something is “Excellent” that is because it is somewhere better than most others… and well worth considering visiting. I hope this review was of help, please consider following my travels & reviews in the autumn of my life.
