Brewhouse & Kitchen - Southsea in Portsmouth

FABULOUS SELECTION of BREWED ALE'S and MEALS VAST OUTDOOR SEATING AREA'S.. INSIDE THEY HAVE A CRAZY DISTILLERY BREWING MOONSHINE 😎 AMAZING PLACE FANTASTIC FRIENDLY STAFF I HIGHLY RECOMMEND 😉 6⭐ STAR'S SEE YOU SOON..

The service was amazing, nothing was to much trouble, we were a large party of 13 we weren't rushed, we were constantly offered drinks and helped us split the bill. Food was also delicious, but the service definitely made our visit

Eve served us this Sunday and was very professional and polite. Highly recommended and make sure Eve looks after you! 🙂

Sunday roast - beef chewy, could not cut, poor quality. Beef replaced and slightly better. A very poor meal. This was our second visit both poor will not visit again.

The team here go above and beyond and are attentive, helpful and efficient. I have a very large extended family that gather 2/3 times a year. We are always very well looked after, so we use them for all our get togethers. Thank you to all of the team for another wonderful afternoon 😊☀️🥳

Excellent servive from Kieran, fantastic beer, great location, lovely outside area for the summer :)

Mothers day meal on a very busy Sunday evening. Had good service and the food and drink was great.

I recently treated my dad to the Whisky and Beer Masterclass at Brewhouse & Kitchen for his 70th birthday, and it was an unforgettable experience. The session was led by Jordan, an incredibly knowledgeable and passionate expert who guided us through the origins and brewing processes of their beers. We sampled five unique beers, each paired with a complementary whisky, which were surprisingly harmonious. The atmosphere was lively, with our group of 12 enjoying plenty of laughter and camaraderie. The tasting notes provided were invaluable, allowing us to record details like ABV, ingredients, and tasting notes. After the tasting, we enjoyed a delicious meal from the Academy menu; the chicken schnitzel was a perfect choice after the drinks. Highly recommended for a fun and educational experience with friends or family. Thanks for the wonderful hospitality!

We booked a cosy back of the room table for our wedding dinner in Brewhouse Southsea. We were welcomed warmly and looked after very well by kind and attentive staff. We enjoyed the food, the atmosphere and we were glad we chose this place for our special day. Thank you

My wife bought me and three family members a brewery experience at the brew house and kitchen in Southsea for my 50th birthday on 15 March 2025; it was a fantastic experience. Martin, the master brewer, was a lovely man who kept us entertained and full of beer throughout the day; he was a real gentleman who was very skilled and experienced and showed us rverythingbto do with the making of the beer or stout and Ale. We made a cast of stout, possibly going to be called Aspiring Bell, and I can't wait to go back and try it with my family in April. I would have to recommend the brewery experience to everyone, it is well worth the money and Martin worked very hard all day.

The staff are amazing especially this guy called Callum Martin he knows what he’s talking about, what drink or wine would go great with our food, have been back twice because of him, keep up the great work Callum

Had a great day with head brewer Martin on a brew day experience, which included bacon bap to start, lunch and samples all day. Martin was extremely knowledgeable and friendly which added to the experience. Highly recommend it as a day out.

Very nice beer tasting with Callum. Enjoyed the variety. Good blonde. Good bitter.

Very nice selection of own brewed drinks. Lovely atmosphere and very friendly service from Eve and the rest of the staff. Will definitely be returning!

My wife and I went for a roast before getting the ferry to Cherbourg. Place was busy at 5pm on Sunday and had a good atmosphere. The football was on with the volume off. Service excellent and roast & dessert lovely. My wife would have preferred food warmer but fine by me. Spoilt a little when the volume was turned on for the football later on, and IMO was too loud (I am a football supporter but time & place). Dog friendly too.

I was meeting with a couple of friends here for some food and a couple of drinks Kieran our waiter was very focused and had helped with recommending a larger which I chose the legend craft which was very crisp. Food wise was amazing and Kieran highly recommended the Mac and cheese main and what a great choice. I Will definitely be back

Best burger i’ve ever had. Service was brilliant thanks to the superstar Joel who took my allergies very seriously. Would definitely recommend

Best burger I have ever had Craft beers were fabulous and the waiter Joel was attentive to our every need. The place had a great atmosphere Thoroughly recommend. Amazing

Lovely sunny afternoon. Great burger! Craft beer! Wonderful attentive service from Joel! My life can end now! Erm...it won't...I hope.

Just done a master class with Joel with whiskey and beer and he was fantastic would highly recommend it fantastic atmosphere need to do more

We recently had a meal here with 5 friends who had dined here previously. Joel the waiter was great, I have no idea how he remembered everything without writing it down! Really nice food, nice ale, and great polite service. Thank you.

Pub with its own beer production, offering a list of dozens of different beers. Lively place focused on broadcasting sports events. Cozy interior space and a large terrace and outdoor space, good for sunbathing. The food is only average. When I tried the Mac n' Cheese burger, it was too dry and the various elements of the dish were not clear. The meat pie was good, but the chicken breasts had no flavor and were quite dry. Friendly and attentive staff.

Thanks for the lovely Beer and Whisky paring masterclass, Jordan was fantastic!

Brewhouse & Kitchen in Southsea is a must-visit. Whether you're a beer aficionado, a foodie, or simply looking for a beautiful and welcoming space to enjoy a meal and drinks, this place has it all. The combination of the stunning interior with its gleaming copper brewing vessels, the enchanting garden with its magical lighting and great heaters, and the exceptional food and service makes for an unforgettable experience. It's a destination. I can't recommend enough.

Very popular with Real Ale enthusiasts I would think, a large selection brewed on the premises. Sunday lunch times certainly popular, the clamour of customers efficiently and swiftly dealt with by friendly staff. Food was delicious and expertly prepared. Probably best to book a table but some walk ins can be fitted in. Spacious outdoor area with heaters. You can order on your phone with the QR code or at the bar.

The best burger I’ve ever had, it’s was spicy and delicious 100% recommend

Far to expensive and basically for families and kids👎

Sunday lunch , disappointed as not up to its usual standard, roast potatoes cold and beef tough , cauliflower cheese burned, Yorkshires soggy. 2 of our party of 5 were served 10 minutes before everyone else , so we couldn’t all eat together, when I asked the waitress when the rest of the food was coming the reply was “ you’ve only been waiting 13 minutes “ & she walked off. We’d recommended this to our friends and wished we’d taken them somewhere else.

Went for a Sunday roast yesterday. Despite booking we got there to be told there were only 3 roasts left for the whole day. The food was average, potatoes cold and their ‘homemade Yorkshire puddings’ were nothing but frozen shop bought. I know this as I saw the chef buy them from the shop before my booking and it’s obvious from the picture. Was not worth the money.

My visit was to see the Brewer as I am his CAMRA Brewery Liaison Officer. Martin is always accommodating! I didn’t have any food.

Jordan hosted us for a Beer Masterclass yesterday and she was an excellent and knowledgeable host - we had a great time with some delicious beers to taste 😋 🍻 Thank you Jordan! 😊

It’s simply one of the best pubs in Southsea. The staff are amazing and very attentive they always remember me and my brother when we come in. The beer is out of this world and all brewed on site and the tasting sessions are to die for. I’m expecting to be back in February for more of the same. Thanks guys for making my experience special. Cheers Clive🍺

B&K hosted 17 of us for a meal today. From the start of the booking the team were so quick at responding to emails, super helpful and super flexible! On the day, Nikkie and Kieran were so welcoming, laid back and so accommodating. All meals came out in good time, all hot, absolutely no mistakes. The food was a 10/10, especially the roasts! They even put a candle in my dessert for me! Absolutely recommend this place.

Bit of a wait to get served at the bar. Food was superb - Spicy Mac burger - very tasty - perfectly cooked - scoffed the lot.

Good beer and food. Lovely garden for the summer

Took my Dad to the Beer & Whiskey pairing masterclass which was conducted by the brilliant Jordan who was exceptional and made the whole experience second to none. She was very passionate and her knowledge of both the ales/stouts/beers and the accompanying whiskey pairings impressed us both! I wasn't sure what to expect with the food but it was first class, we ordered the fish and chips and the chicken schnitzel. Highly recommend this place and even better if you are lucky enough to have Jordan as your host!

Just been and had a spicy chicken burger with chips and a craft larger…. Amazing food and a tasty pint to add. Will be back again soon

I just love to sit outside here with a nice drink. Even in winter thanks to the many heaters that are in the undercover area of the mainly sheltered garden.

Great beers and excellent menu - some programs different items that make it a bit special.

Wonderful, the smell of the brewing hops was amazing as we walked in. The pie with colcannon mash oh, my days!!! We all thoroughly enjoyed

We had the Christmas Day meal which was delicious!!! Matt and Alex were so kind when my husband became poorly before the meal . Such genuine lovely people.

Good ordinary menu food but disappointing 'out of the packet' Christmas lunch. Two of our party had the Christmas lunch whilst the rest had from the main menu. The main menu food although slightly overpriced was good quality. The Christmas food however was awful. Out of the packet Turkey and bland tasting vegetables. Again for the puddings the ordinary menu puddings cooked quite good but the Christmas puddings, in this case plum pudding was extremely small with watery runny custard. It's clear that this place can do burgers and similar foods well but anything related to a traditional roast dinner, I wouldn't bother.

Nicky managed to find us a table even though they were heavily booked up. Dealt with my daughters allergies very week including finding an alternative dessert for her. Nicky also managed last minute change in plans impeccably.

We came with our friends for the beer tasting afternoon. Joel our host (who we renamed John,Tom :-) ) was great and knowledgeable. We enjoyed tasting all the beers and stayed for food. A great time in a great pub.

First impressions count for a lot. When you approach a bar and all the staff behind it are engrossed in something clearly so important they can't possibly stop talking to greet and serve a customer, when I did get served getting the mulled wine took a few minutes and was ridiculously hot, put on the bar in front of me with zero engagement from the barman and when it had finally cooled enough to drink it did not taste like actual mulled wine is it brought in microwave in the packet stuff? Mulled wine is dead easy to make and keep warm on a bar, people have been doing it for years. Ordered a three meat roast and my partner had a pie with colcannon mash, definitely lacking veg on the roast though the plate did look good, Pie bottom was burnt as if it had been heated in a pizza oven? Overall, it's not bad, but the poor service soured it. Meh.

Visited for Christmas drinks, lovely atmosphere, beers and great service from Nikkie and Lacey. Will be visiting again soon.

Very good night out I’ll defiantly be back again really enjoyed the food and drinks we’ll be beach very soon cannot wait for it

Didn't eat but had a great evening. A good atmosphere

Unlike many other examples in Portsmouth, this is not a historic pub but a modern pub. The interiors are very nice and rustic. Another plus is the partially covered and partially outdoor garden area. The menu offers guests solid “pub food” that should fully meet most expectations. Another highlight would be the beer brewed on site and if you want to go a little further afield in this regard, you will even find an “Augustiner” from the Munich brewery of the same name as a representative of other beers, which is understandably served from the bottle. More on turtlesurf eu.

Great space for social time with friends and colleagues

Excellent quiz on a Monday Night but you need to book.

Fantastic food, delicious and cooked well, great value for money and loved the atmosphere in the pub. Nice to be able to try all the different beers too. Service for me was the let down, I had to ask for the food order to be taken after waiting for 15 mins. Food took a long time to come out and time between starter and mains was too long. Also to be told we had to be out by 3pm, when still waiting for our mains to come out (we arrived at 1pm) at 2.15 pm was a bit rude.

Did the whole day brewery experience with Martin. Breakfast roll, lunch tried eleventybillion beers where the process for brewing each one was explained. Martin made the day with the enthusiasm for his job and we learnt a lot. Highly recommended and great value

Great place to escape Storm Bert!!! Good food and lovely real ales. Would visit again.

Phoned this morning and didnt think we would get a table. Thankfully George was able to help us out and get us in. The food was delicious but the beer is next level. Big shoutout to Eve who was serving for all her recommendations

Great food. Great staff. We loved it.

Myself and my partner participated in the "Beer Tasting Masterclass" run by Joel. We sampled 8 beers over a 2 hour period and got a fantastic narrative throughout, describing each of the beers, flavour profiles and how they are made. Really interesting and very well run. Joel was fantastic and highly recommend the experience!

I and my (grown up!) boys had a fantastic day with Martin (the head brewer) for a brewery experience. From the start, Martin entertained us, impressed with his knowledge of beer, and fully involved us in making a batch of stout, whilst keeping us plied with a variety of beers that he’d previously brewed for the pub. Breakfast and lunch provided. A truly splendid day had by is all. Thank you, Martin, and all at Brewhouse & Kitchen Southsea for a great day! Looking forward to returning later in the month to try the fruits of our labours.

Martin’s knowledge of the brewing process and what he taught us is impeccable. I can highly recommend the brewing day.

Have just completed the brew day with Martin. Can’t speak highly enough of it and him. Involved in the entire process and Martin was a brilliant host. Lookout for the whiskey stout at the end of November.

Honestly 5/5 experience, atmosphere is great, food is lovely, staff are amazing. Couldn’t recommend a place more :)

Super accommodating, friendly and helpful staff

I came in on a Sunday evening, and ordered their chicken roast. 30 mins wait on food, no problem! Except when the food came out, it was barely hot. The cauliflower cheese was not great. Beef was chewy. I then used the bathroom, it was a mess, the soap and hand cream dispensers broken. Then asked for a takeaway bag and was offered tin foil for a leftover roast? Not to mention the price £40 for two mediocre roasts? Come on?

If they can’t be bothered to clean the tables properly so I can sit down and order a Sunday lunch then don’t bother. I asked them to please clean my table, as it was smeared with grease and ketchup. No problem it can be sorted….so I thought! He wiped it with a small dry tissue half heartedly and just basically smeared the grease in more and walked off! I just got up and put my jacket back on and left. I’ve emailed the manager as he’s just lost a new customer. We shall see if they respond. Really disappointed as I was looking forward to trying a new Sunday lunch venue. You’ll see by all my other reviews that I’m not a complainer and give 5 stars to those who deserve it!

Did the whisky and beer pairing at Southsea yesterday and the lovely lady who led it was superb and the whole experience far exceeded my expectations!

Came for Sunday lunch Nikkie looked after us really well friendly warm and couldn’t help enough great afternoon thanks all

I visited Brewhouse and Kitchen in Southsea last Sunday, with my family, to enjoy their popular Sunday Roast Dinner's. Delicious, hot, plentiful and full of amazing flavours.....really enjoyed it. The only downside was I was so full, I never got to sample the Sticky Toffee Pudding and Ice Cream i had planned for dessert! We were looked after by a lovely team who didn't stop! Constantly clearing, cleaning and relaying tables, serving and checking if we needed anymore drinks. We didn't feel just a number, as the smiles and bits of banter, showed we were very welcome. Please thank: Nikki Jordan Callum We will definitely return and recommend Brewhouse and Kitchen, Southsea.

Had a really great time with Martin during a Brew day experience brewing the next seasonal lager the Vienna lager.

We had a fantastic experience with Nikkie as our gun expert for our Gin Masterclass. Nikkie was extremely knowledgeable and looked after the two of us very well from start to finish. We learnt a lot about gin; how it’s made, how best to serve, ingredients etc. I would recommend to any gin fan!

Thank you so much for a great evening last night, you were a great find recommended by our taxi driver. The food was absolutely superb equally so was the drink. Cannot thank Joel and Callum enough for helping us all get back to the holiday, you were amazing. I could not expect any service like that anywhere else we will be back.

Pretzel was like concrete. Germans should stay away. So none of the outside heaters worked.

We did the brewing day and what an experience it was. We got taught every element of brewing process and actually took part in that process too. A thoroughly enjoyable day and we even got to sample their current range of beers. I would highly recommend doing this and it is well worth the money. Martin the Head Brewer is a great tutor and has unbelievable knowledge of the trade.

Great selection of brewed ale's and meals vast outdoor seating area's.. INSIDE THEY HAVE A CRAZY DISTILLERY BREWING MOONSHINE 😎 AMAZING PLACE FANTASTIC FRIENDLY STAFF I HIGHLY RECOMMEND 😉 6⭐ STAR'S SEE YOU SOON

Firts time at the Southsea site, but the atmosphere was great, food superb, beer really good (Pilsner) and the staff were really helpful and friendly. Couldn't ask for more!

As I was unable to attend a family celebration, I called to request some champagne be provided to my daughter and son in law as they and their guests arrived. The person I spoke to was incredibly helpful, and within seconds provided a secure payment link so I could pay for the champagne. A super easy transaction and a they made it a lovely surprise for my daughter and co. Thank you.

Did the beer masterclass today with Jordan. What an amazing afternoon! Jordan’s knowledge of beers as well as her hospitality made the day! Quality beers coupled with expert knowledge made for a great Saturday. I couldn’t recommend this experience enough to anyone regardless of your beer knowledge or experience

Excellent. Left my phone behind on the Sunday. Noticed just as going into victorious. Husband phoned and they'd already found and put aside. Returned on the Monday to collect. Thank you so much.

17 of us visited for dinner and drinks and everyone was hugely impressed by everything about this gem of a venue

Great location, and very pleasurable beer gardens. I would recommend trying the Pipers Sea Salt and Cider Vinger crisps. Go to the bar and ask to speak to Tall Tony and say Miles sent you. He'll see you proper.

Lovely evening with family celebrating our wedding anniversary staff very friendly food amazing, thank you to Matt for accommodating us, great communication highly recommend.

Only had a drink but busy and vibrant and lovely sitting in the busy garden. Loved the little beach shacks. Totally recommend Just been back again to Brewhouse & Kitchen for a beer tasting and burger deal. Absolutely delightful. Great beer, all different ones and fabulous food. Totally recommend 5 years on. Lovely staff and ambience. Visited again with friends. Sat in the sunny garden drinking cold cider and eating Mac and cheese and garlic bread. Lovely, food , ambience and staff all great.

Great evening to celebrate my birthday. Food was great. Thank you

Visiting Portsmouth for the weekend and found we were staying just around the corner from this gem. Visited both Friday and Saturday, very dog friendly which was important to us, and the reserved table on Saturday was spot on. Friday was busier than Saturday. Food was flavoursome and good value, although the chicken on the ceaser salad was v dry and overcooked The biggest issue was the gents loos 😱😱 they are atrocious and way too small for a pub this size a real flaw in such an outstanding pub.

We went to the Brewhouse as a family of 6 (4 adults and 2 children) and found the staff to be very friendly and helpful,I had the beercan chicken which was delicious and moist, someone had the chicken schnitzel and found the breadcrumb coating to be a little over cooked, the other 2 adult meals were the bang bang chicken and again this was delicious. The 2 children had the macaroni cheese from the kids menu and they both enjoyed it, what happened is it got served in a skillet and came to the kids by the waitress holdi g it i a tea towel where it was so hot, what I would suggest is you're serving something like that to children maybe in a bowl or a colder plate that way there would be no chance of the young children burning g themselves

The team helped me to book out an area of the pub so I could have a party for my partner, great communication throughout! A lovely pub, great garden, tasty food and generally good vibes. I'd recommend it to all!

The "house" burger was a bit below parr, over cooked and way too much relish etc

Excellent food and staff, will definitely visit again soon

Great pub with a lovely garden and a great selection of beers

After previously having an excellent roast . We were very let down by the quality yesterday. I'm guessing by the time 3.30pm, we were given the last scraps left from the lunch time roast. It was like it had been warmed up in a microwave with bistro granual gravy . Left extremely disappointed.

A reliably enjoyable experience for family and friends 👍🏻👍🏻

Great place staff and food. Expensive jäger bombs (£6) but great home brewed pints. !!

Booked meal on Sunday 28/7/24 for four adults.Diners need to be aware that they will add a discretionary service charge of 10% to the bill without informing you.One of our party was about to leave a cash tip,into we inspected the till receipt.Very sneaky imo.

Large outdoor space which was very chilled with plenty of sun in the evening.. no waiting at the bar and quick service... was pleased :D! (Tuesday)

Jordan was amazing… very knowledgeable and friendly 👍 would definitely recommend this experience… x

We visited for the Brewery experience day. Martins knowledge and enthusiasm was spot on! We had so much fun getting involved and had many great beers to sample. The food was lovely as well. Cannot fault the day and cannot fault Martin. Thank you so much! Definitely recommend.

Really great pub. Busy and buzzing. Good atmosphere. Food portions disappointing. Ordered bacon fries. £8. Turned up and was very small and lacking ingredients.

Nice food. Nice drinks. Nice seating areas. Some outside seats are a little far from the tables, but most are fine. Been twice, very nice.

I can't leave a zero star review but a prominent shouted southsea hospitality venue has no tonic water? Really? Please read, digest and sort yourselves out. No excuses. Poor management/ownership

Martin is a legend! (Magnus) We went for the brewery experience having won it off a Christmas raffle for my fathers birthday. Warm and friendly welcome, great vibes very relaxed. We were given a bacon roll for starters, and a brief introduction then we cracked on brewing! Ive never encountered someone with so much knowledge in brewing and he was super in-depth and answered any questions in great detail. Absolutely amazing. I felt safe and comfortable the entire time. We were given complimentary beers included in our experience, which were so lovely. However it did make the cycle back up portsdown hill all the more challenging. We were then given lunch and I had the fish and chips which was super yummy, the chips were fab and the fish was perfect. We were given 2 free barrels of beer with our experience which I’ve just recently tried and it was excellent. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone.
