Brewhouse and Kitchen in Portsmouth - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

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.)

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.

Great night lots learnt and good fun

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.

Absolutely perfect burger with a side of perfectly cooked chips ( I personally don't like burger sauce but I do now) Would give it 6 stars if I could

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 visited in my capacity as CAMRA Brewery Liaison Officer. Although the Brewer was absent (it was his day off) the Manageress was extremely helpful. I enjoyed my pint of Mucky Duck but was sad that my favourite- Black Swan - is no longer being brewed.

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

Lovely meal pre show - really friendly waitress - would return and recommend

We love going to brewhouse when we are in Portsmouth. The service and food was excellent. Would recommend to anyone.

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,

Was not able to book online, phone was not answered. Should have known Decided to walk there and try our luck with a table. Got there at 18.45 to be told the kitchen was shut. No explanation just kitchen is shut. There was an ambulance outside so who knows.

Beer is always great here as was the food last night. Cheeseburger was delicious.

Lovely staff, excellent food and reasonably priced. Will return for sure.

My friend and I visited for a pre-theatre meal. Excellent food….we had burgers and fries which were hot and very tasty. Reasonably priced and a great experience!

I’ve been here recently and couldn’t decide what to have to eat and Inez recommended a chicken burger and it was a great choice, it was so good. Also the beer selection was great 👍

Was here for lunch today and it was lovely. Welcoming staff and Inez helped us to pick good beers. I had tropical IPA and my friend had apa, was very good.

Food initially served was cold. Had to get it replaced.

The food was amazing, went out with a couple of friends cause we wanted burgers we saw good reviews from Brewhouse kitchen and we decided why not. Food was lovely and customer service was brilliant!!

Great beer and food. Friendly staff. Very good

Was amazing my server freya was incredible and looks absolutely gorgeous in her apron keep putting her on shifts

Went here on the weekend to have some food and the staff was so welcoming and lovely , helped me with everything I needed. I had chicken burger and tropical IPA and I enjoyed it so much. Quick service from both sides. Well done guys as it was so busy but you still kept the smile on the faces.

I've heard by someone there's jealous foods, I want to highly recommending to go to this restaurant. On someday if I will be visiting Portsmouth I will be going this restaurant to eat and drink.

Very decent all round. Special mention to the serving staff who were all great!

It was so loud and extremely busy as two local venues were hosting shows on the same night. But it didn't stop staff being friendly and helpful. Food was amazing. Portion sizes were just right.

Nice pub, friendly service, and the food was good when it arrived. Unfortunately, due to a 'system error', our meals didn't arrive at the table until an hour after being ordered.

Can’t fault the food or service but elements to our visit were disappointing. It is dark, which I get is mood lighting but could have done with bit more to eat. Also, toilets were not in a great state, not that clean and had to use again in dark as the one in light had either a leak or wee on floor and other locked. Toilets could use some attention.

The service & food was great & the kids menu was very good I also like the array of different craft beers on offer thanks

Didn’t bother staying. We had booked a table. Went in. Was packed out, stupidly noisy with ridiculous loud music. We could see the one table for two that would’ve been ours, which was right out in a walk way. Couldn’t hear ourselves think. No one bothered to greet us so we turned around and left and went to a much nicer calmer establishment down road

Excellent service from Robin (and good luck in your new career!) Huge portion size!

The food was nice, but let down due to unavailability of House wine, and Bacardi.

We ordered steak (none left) at 5pm on a Saturday really!! So we ordered 1/2 roast chicken less than 10 mins later it arrived one piece was really hot but the breast was stone cold ❄️❄️ So we took it back to the chefs as the service staff where running around like nutters Told them it was stone cold and not happy They refired up another one and sent it back to me Again it was cold but it was slightly warmer than the last one Would I eat here again? PROBABLY NOT!!!! FOOD NOT UP TO GOOD STANDARD!!!! service staff where really polite, friendly, and helpful Couldn't fault them Food I would say avoid when it's busy,As the chefs don't seem to care 😔

We arrived on time, advised staff that we were going to the theatre, waited 45 mins for food to be served, 2 of the 6 of us had "cold" food (should have been hot), we were offered ice cream because service was running late but we didnt really have time to eat it because we had to leave for the theatre.

Very nice beers and very good food will visit again thankyou the meat was cooked just fight

Brilliant day. Out brewing some beer for the first time ever .it was fun

Booked a table for a friend and I prior to attending a show at the Guildhall. We were both very happy with our experience. There was a choice of veggie options and the one I had was very tasty and well presented. My friend had a burger which they said was very good. Our waitress was excellent, she was very busy but was very friendly and attentive. Would definitely return to this venue.

This isn’t quite as impressive as Chester’s branch of Brewhouse, but nonetheless still very good. Not difficult to pick a pint from their wide selection of beers on tap.

As has been stated on previous reviews, the food isn’t bad, but it isn’t great for the price you pay. My wife had Mac and cheese with garlic bread and the portion was small - more like garlic bread with a Mac and cheese dip. My fish and chips were okay, but the piece of fish was small and the batter was only average. The beer was again okay but nothing to write home about. The staff were very attentive and the pub was pretty busy.

Unfortunately this time they didn’t have any Steaks or Sticky Toffee pudding, but George Anson beer is spot on. My favourite waitress wasn’t in either.

The waiting staff were very attentive and friendly, however, the food was massively disappointing. We ordered a macaroni cheese main, brisket burnt ends, fries and buttermilk chicken wings. After a couple of drinks each and the compulsory service charge, the total bill was £65. The brisket burnt ends were neither crispy nor burnt. They were chunks of cold diced beef in a BBQ sauce which tasted really similar to canned hot dogs. The buttermilk chicken was just tiny wings coated in BBQ sauce with a few sprinkles on top (was that supposed to be the buttermilk part?!?). The fries were great and the macaroni cheese was nice, but small. There was nothing particularly offensive about the food but for the price it was very underwhelming. The waitress recommended a lager which wasn't on the menu and it ended up being £6.30 a pint which was pretty annoying as I didn't realise until we got the bill, considering the others were £3.95 during happy hour. The ladies toilets absolutely stank and were damp and dirty. Presumably a known issue as one cubicle remained locked all evening. The hand dryer didn't work either. Unfortunately we wouldn't recommend the food but the beers were good, just be careful about what you're being sold.

Despite the night of a Guildhall show and being packed with a warning of 45min wait for food, we were served drinks really quickly and had food on the table within a further 10 minutes after choosing. Really can’t complain, on a busy night we had a warm greeting, great servers and the food/drink was great

Excellent service and delicious food before YMAS gig.

Lovely meal, excellent beer choice and very nice rums. Staff very attentive and very friendly. Highly recommended

Pre show dinner and drinks. Food top notch. Staff attentive and polite.

Booked for pre-theatre dinner. Very good service right from the start from a very attentive waitress. I had fish and chips - some of the chips were hard, but not enough to send back. The fish was okay, but batter could have been crisper. The peas were also a bit hard. My husband had half chicken, but it was a quarter that was served up. All of his accompaniments were nice. Had coffee after which was hot and good quality. I would eat here again, but maybe make a different choice with the food.

Beer good, food not!! Limited menu, not as advertised on website eg wings had no blue cheese! Items not available Quality poor

Came in here for a quick lunch with my son today. Very nice pub great home brew too. Food was nice for a snack service was good everyone very friendly. Will definitely go again when I’m in Portsmouth ☺️

We came for the beer tasting experience and it was a very enjoyable and pleasant experience. Our guide through tasting the beers was a gentleman called Robin who was very knowledgeable, and really made the experience enjoyable and was a great guide! He was a great conversationalist and was very supportive of us exploring the different tastes of beers!

Found a couple of beers I liked, and the food and service were great.

We had a lovely meal, the food and service was excellent. Would thoroughly recommend!

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.

I really enjoyed the pork belly rib & black IPA that the staff recommended - would come again. To anyone else coming here, ask the staff for suggestions and they won't disappoint.

I took a group of 30 for lunch at the Brewhouse & Kitchen Portsmouth - the service was excellent, the atmoshere warm & friendly, the food was was just great - modern with a twist. We would certainly return!!

2nd time visiting and still amazing beer and great food.

Good beer and the food was pretty good too.

Very helpful and professional staff, beer very good, great selection, didnt eat as kitchen was close. Very dog friendly

Fantastic place the food was incredible and tasty. We went for a gin tasting what can I say the lady we had hosting it georiga was amazing she is a real asset to you company you should be real proud of her :) Well definitely be back :)

Micro-brasserie en plein cœur de Portsmouth. Sympa' pour découvrir une de leur bière (ou pas) et manger quelques tapas. La salle est très spacieuse !

The staff did there best but it was busy and so attention to detail was lost.

Interesting beer & reasonably priced food

This was a great way to spend an afternoon with our two older daughters who had come home for Christmas. We book a beer master class with food after. Our host was Robin, who taught us all about the brewing process, the origins of beer, ale, bitter and the different ingredients. We sampled 8 different drinks and I have certainly confirmed what I do and do like. The afternoon was thoroughly enjoyed by all of us!

Great food, great service, couldn't fault.

Had a quick bite on Sunday evening before going to the theatre. Food was good although the full menu was not available. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Nice pub with good furnishings and pleasant atmosphere. Did not try any of the beers but there is a very good selection.

We had deliberately booked a table of 15 for a Christmas lunch together on a Monday hoping for a straightforward meal, what we got was mediocre food (see other postings) and a compulsory service charge for poor service. I definitely won't be back.

Service was somewhat slow but with a full bar to be expected. A party having their xmas party nearby were somewhat boisterous and rude. Food was good, as was the beer.

Gorgeous food, friendly staff, lovely atmosphere, Great location. Will definitely come here again. Such a lovely afternoon thank you

Lovely place with great selection of great beer! A must if you are in Portsmouth.

I was given a Beer Masterclass as a gift experience. Not much you can teach me, I have been drinking beer 40years and know what I like - how wrong could I be! A brilliant tour of the brewers ‘Worksop’, a fascinating explanation of the whole process from the brewer himself, Oli, whose enthusiasm and passion for beers is infectious. A tasting and explanation of half a dozen beers was super, and we rounded it off with a very decent pub meal. The rest of the staff were equally helpful and a huge shoutout for Rebecca in sales who helped me deal with my own mistake in the booking reservation and never once said what an idiot I’d been.

Decent pizzas, beer not too bad, although not a great selection.

Can't quote on food as I didn't eat Lovely comfy pub, being an ale drinker Icwas impressed with the Best Bitter. Staff was very friendly and helpful, giving me 3 different drinks to taste before I settled on the Best. Reminds me of the Glen Affric in Birkenhead but on a smaller scale...and that's to you. Many thanks. I love your pub.

We had a good visit but the place was seriously understaffed for an evening where the Guildhall had an event on. The staff did their best but there was delays in getting served and having food delivered. I cannot fault the staff who tried their very best.
