Brewhouse and Kitchen in Portsmouth

A sincere thank you to Paige for providing fab service after a long day in the office. A breath of fresh air. Part of a great team.

Great atmosphere, friendly and helpful staff and the food was excellent. Well done and thank you. See you again soon.

Exceptional service from Jasmine x Fantastic service, welcoming, warm with some great food at good value Worth a visit Thank you so much ☺️

Absolutely fabulous food staff and the pilsner larger, all perfectly balanced. Only issue travelling to Portsmouth We need a brew house in Chichester.

We were really looking forward to this meal as not eaten out for ages. First I ordered a cocktail but an ingredient had run out, so I ordered a different cocktail to be told there was an ingredient missing from that too. I gave up and ordered a beer. Ordered our food, we both wanted a steak but there was only one left. When 70 minutes had passed and our order had not arrived, it transpired the order machine had not transmitted the order to the kitchen. The chef rushed our food through. My medium rare steak came out rare and it was not a good cut of meat so I couldn’t eat it. To be fair on the chef was unhappy with how it cooked and didn’t charge us. On a positive note, the staff were friendly and apologetic. My husband’s chicken was good. All in all a disappointing dining experience though. I know it was a Sunday but it was full in there so the stock levels should have been better

The staff are so helpful and friendly especially the manager! When we had a bit of an issue with the beer we ordered they sorted it really quickly and no issues. We had a great time.

Beer was lovely. The red beer was like licking honey off a butterflies wings.

Eat here regularly before Guildhall events. Food and service usually excellent, and good value. On this occasion, not so good - table booking not on system, then menu choices reduced and prices raised. Chicken wings which are normally excellent were disappointingly undercooked and soggy. Hopefully better next time.

Good food and great beer. Nice location too

Had an amazing time with Bobby, he really knows his stuff and a lot about whiskey too, so much about whiskey and beer couldn’t keep up but thoroughly enjoyed it. Keep it up and looking forward to the gin tasting or rum tasting, maybe both. lol

Fantastic food, huge portions. Lovely place and will be going back.

Follow artfull Dodger best reviews in town..if he says it's great mmh

Lovely Christmas dinner. Shame we couldn’t finish it all! Brilliant service with a smile! Enjoyed the drinks and atmosphere. Nice table where we could be on our own and away from the crowd. Excellent!

I have a lot of time for this place. Friendly and unpretentious. Good food and great beer. Wish we lived closer.

Both my wife and myself had an absolutely great time,we were ther for the whisky/Ale pairing,the guy(Bobby)was not only knowledgeable but entertaining, great night thankyou

Went for a quick pre-show meal, and they did get our food out to us quickly. Unfortunately too quickly as the two Fish & Chips were undercooked and the replacement was even worse. The burgers were great, and the triple cooked chips delicious, just a shame about the undercooked fish, had that been good my score would have been much higher. Great atmosphere and we would give it another try

Rustic bar and good atmosphere. Roast was just warm but was near cold by the time I finished. However it was a good tasting roast and the beef cooked to perfection, and I did eat it all 👍 Service a little slow and had to go to find staff to take order, however they were all friendly.

We popped in post-panto, and - as ever - the place was rammed, loud and boisterous, and yet - somehow - the single chef turns out food quickly, well-presented, and full-of-flavour... and all quickly too... and, when bearing in mind that the menu is large and diverse, we have no idea how he copes: he is a very talented, multi-tasking, fella!

Lovely place, lovely food and friendly staff. Wifi was a major issue for me trying to work though

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.

Was given a rum tasting experience, Bobby and Sophie were amazing, full of knowledge, and very personable. They made the whole experience enjoyable. Will definitely go back for the atmosphere and the food which was exceptional. Can't fault the Brewhouse and kitchen!. Totally amazing.

Absolutely perfect burger with a side of perfectly cooked chips ( I personally don't like burger sauce but I do now) Edit: came again and had the spicy Mac n cheese burger, Hella underrated it was amazing Would give it 6 stars if I could

Saturday night pre theatre dinner table for 2. Excellent service and the meal arrived very promptly. Good atmosphere although quite noisy. Good to able to book on line as it was very busy. Overall a very good experience. I would recommend it.

Good food & service. Unfortunately sweet choice was not available and there were problems with electronics when it came to paying the bill

Fabulous little gem. Great food. Lovely and snuggly when it is cold outside, fantastic historic building with lovely views.

Excellent service, nice busy atmosphere but without rushing us, good food and drink. Will certainly return.

One of my favourite pubs in Portsmouth!!

Very good food and prompt service. Enjoyed our visit

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.

Great option for pre show dinner if going to the Guildhall or New Theatre Royal. Good pub food at reasonable prices and lovely staff

Hard copy menu didn’t match that of the online app, disappointing I couldn’t have my first choice! Otherwise a nice pre gig meal & drinks

Craft beer was excellent, my husband loved his steak and our burgers were very tasty. Servive was lovely and prompt. Thank you ❤️

Really great place - so good we booked a second time

We enjoyed our pre-theatre meal

Food & service & ales all good, but I really hope that the linear queuing for the bar (starting a metre and a half away from the bar!!) wasn't pub policy, and that it was just a madness implemented by some demented customers

Great place. Definitely book in advance as it way busy! But despite not booking they squeezed us in and we had a lovely pre-show meal. Hats off to the chefs too... We were sat opposite the open kitchen and they were working super hard getting all that food out! Also, the beer is lovely of course (I had the IPA)

Great night lots learnt and good fun

Have never eaten here before and we were really impressed with the whole experience. It was a Saturday night, very busy but the staff were so helpful and efficient, very friendly and observant. There was a young man who was particularly helpful and provided such good service. The food was delicious and well presented - highly recommend the place.

Georgia, our gin sherpa was really knowledgeable on the gin history and the tasting experience was great fun. Will recommend 👌

Georgia our hooch slave for the evening was fun, interesting and a delight to be in the company of Him tasting experience highly recommended

I booked a gin tasting for my sister's birthday, Georgia was our gin guide, she made it really fun. Good value for money, thanks for a good night 🤩

We had great service throughout our family lunch gathering today and were so impressed with young bar supervisor ( blonde hair, so sorry I did not catch his name) who even came over a number of times to check if we would like more drinks etc. The lunch/work space offer of £10 for a meal plus unlimited soft drinks was also excellent. We shall visit again!

Fantastic staff, service & food, cannot fault the place!!

We booked Brewhouse after a previous visit and weren't let down. The chicken schnitzel burger was great, service too and atmosphere was as you'd before a gig at the Guildhall

We have not been here for a while and was pleased to see that it was still the same. Good choice of drinks and food. Friendly staff. Best pub in the area.

It is a very busy venue, with the staff run off of their feet, but - crikey - they do put in a shift, and somehow maintain a smile throughout! The chef - just one fella on his own - somehow coped, and was getting out a very diverse menu on time, and at a great quality, and... he also knows how to flavour food, as - for example - my innocuous sounding mac-and-cheese with shiitake mushroom was an absolute flavour-bomb! WE all blooming well loved it!!!

Such poor service on a Friday night. Must be some issue with shortage of staff, but really better to prioritise serving to rearranging the glasses.

Very glad we'd booked as the pub was pretty full of diners. My Wife enjoyed the BBK Burger and my Pie & Chips was accompanied by plenty of gravy. Many thanks to the staff and in particular the attentive young male Waiter. Coming back - we always do!

Very much enjoyed our lunch. Excellent service!

Never been here before, the food came out hot and tasty. We've never seen a chef work so hard. We'll definitely return.

Helpful, friendly staff. Great choice of food (the Bang Bang chicken was delicious) & drinks.

Excellent service from Jasmine, the atmosphere was good, the food was ok and the local brews could have been a bit more interesting.

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

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

Great food en good beers! Beercan chicken was very good. Tried some different beers and they were all good! Nice atmosphere

Good pub type bar. Welcoming and good range of beer.

Found this place as was going to a concert at the Guildhall and wanted a place close by, great choice it turned out to be. Excellent food, great beer and excellent service.

Served very promptly. Drinks and food served in a timely manner which was great as we were going on to see a show. Staff really friendly and efficient. Very happy.

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.

A little dark to eat, but when food came it was AMAZING!! 😋 Thoroughly recommend the Krakauer Bacon Frankfurter. £14 very well spent. Pre-Guildhall dinner did not disappoint 💖💙🙂

The food was absolutely delicious, staff friendly and helpful. Would happily return.

Not a good ambassador for craft beer. Probably the worst craft beer I have ever tasted. Dead, too warm , tasteless and cloudy when not meant to be.

We did the beer tasting experience at Portsmouth Guildhall. It was a lot of fun and we tried a range of beers. Food was good. Highly recommend!

I visited in my capacity as CAMRA Brewery Liaison Officer. I spoke to the Brewer and received the information I required. During my visit I enjoyed a pint of Mucky Duck.

Great place to eat, good food, very nice steaks and all cooked as requested. I would recommend.

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.)

Fantastic Nacho starter, not just plonked on a plate, it was beautifully presented and tasted amazing …. possibly the best nachos ever!! Fish and chips were great too!

Stopping out of town and looking for somewhere to eat and good beer. We came across the Brewhouse and Kitchen and could not fault the service in here. The food is amazing and their home brew beers are a real treat. Big shout to Adam and the staff who looked after us all night. Definatly recommend

Amazing find, great service, great atmosphere great food and beer spot on

Lovely place, friendly staff and good beer but £6 for 3 churros is a bit steep

Brewhouse & Kitchen is a perfect example of how to do things properly! A great selection of drinks (their own and guests) Brilliant service. Very personable and engaging. The food was also excellent! I had fish and chips and couldn’t finish it all….it was a monster! Great job. Highly recommend here for drinks and food! 👌😝

Lovely team, professional and welcoming. Food (roast dinner) was cooked really well, but too much thyme (personal taste) for me and the hubster.

There was a group of 8 of us for a reunion. 2 of us come one monthly basis. It's a great pub staff are always helpful and friendly

Food was absolutely amazing! We won a voucher a few months ago so had never been before but will definitely be back again. We've been recommending you to all family and friends, staff were lovely and friendly everything 10/10 thank you ❤️

Had lunch with my family. Great selection of beer and food was great

Good not great chicken over cooked and dry service was lazy and slow wasn’t asked if we wanted another drink wasn’t offered dessert and then added 15% service charge to the bill no way was we paying that will not return

I have stopped here a few times, while in Portsmouth. Service is always very good and polite. Nice atmosphere and will visit again.

Great staff and tasty beers Burgers are great

Wir sind durch Empfehlung unseres Gastgebers dorthingekommen. Die brauen eigenes Bier und das war vorzüglich.Gegessen haben wir BeerCanChicken.Das war wirklich sehr gut , sodass wir am nächsten Tag direkt wieder dahin sind . Diesmal habe ich DryAged Steak zu mir genommen , es war sehr gut, zu einem Preis von 21 Pfund , wirklich sehr anständig. Sehr loben muss ich noch das Personal , sehr aufmerksam und freundlich. Hervorheben will ich noch unsere Bedienung welche auf den Nahmen " Karolina " gehört hat. Sie war eine echte "Perle" Rundum zu empfehlen!👍👍

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.

Good solid tasty food and vast selection of beverages tea and coffee good venue along guildhall walk

I didn’t eat this time, but the staff were exceptional and so was the beer!!

spur of the minute choice for dinner when collecting daughter from University, for a monday evening there was quite a few people in there due to a conference being held in the university, but that didn't impede our enjoyment, the food was very good, my rib-eye steak was wonderfully tender, and it had a great chimichuri sauce with it

Food lovley , service was exceptional , freindly , attentive, no waiting around , would deffo come again

My daughter and I went here for the Gin tasting Masterclass. Georgia who was our host for the time as excellent. We had 5 different Gins and all the history about them and about Gin in general. It was very informative and to top it off we were given a Double measure of our favourite Gin and also food at the end of the experience. It was thoroughly enjoyable. Thank you Georgia for being our host.

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

Always Amazing food and outstanding service

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 :)

Previous visits have been better! 2 hot chocolates served just warm and rainbow salad very lacking for the price! Just a few roast veg and hummus. When asked to add chicken there was none available although still serving chicken burgers. Staff pleasant.

big fan, tasty beers, all of the employees have piercings (maybe it is part of their uniform) and the girl with the bob is a real catch

Just finished a beer experience tour with Ollie, had an absolutely fantastic time. Beer is fantastic, especially when you learn the process behind it.

Here night before our ferry crossing, 6 of us food was perfect and great beer too. Super service too

Terrible service when asked for compliments walked away then she came back and never asked how my meal was and just picked it up and took it away I suggest they learn to ask folks if they happy with meal that way I could least had chance telling them personally but manners was well bad here

The full day beer making session was fantastic...a great social event... Oli looked after us brilliantly and the food and beers were excellent... thanks

We came here for a drink, food and a Gin masterclass. The welcome from all staff was friendly; the venue was extremely flexible about the day. We were introduced to the Roof Terrace, which was wonderful and ate up there. The Gin Masterclass was generous in "samples" and Georgia who ran it was enthusiastic, fun and knowledgable. We could have stayed there all day and all evening. Recommended.

Great service! We had a party of 8 and requested that we needed the food quickly as had somewhere to be in 1 hour. They more than delivered and the food was great quality

Lovely atmosphere, nice drinks and hidden garden terrace. Definitely recommend getting the bbq chicken wings they was incredible

Myself and daughter had a roast dinner which looked lovely and a decent size meal unfortunately it was cold, returned the food and was given a much smaller roast with hardly any vegetables which was disappointing.

Great pub with great beers and food
