Chit Chats Cafe in Portsmouth

First visit to this place. The food was fantastic, the service was first class. Definitely will go back.

We eat here frequently, great food

The food was excellent, and so was the service.

The food was impeccable! I'm indian and the food here was very well prepared and yummy!

Food was really nice, service was really good too

Definitely the best curries! Lovely surroundings and friendly staff. So glad Krishna's are back in MV so we can enjoy our fave curries with a shorter journey time.

Wow! Total transformation of the Roebuck Inn in just 3 months. The pub is beautiful, the food is absolutely amazing and the owners give us all an object lesson in how to run a great pub and restaurant. The welcome is always wonderful and all the customers seem to be returns, greeted like old friends. A real family atmosphere but you need to book WAY in advance. This is a seriously popular place.

Had a really delicious meal this evening with family. After visiting earlier in the week with friends. Decor and atmosphere excellent, food even better than when they were at The White Horse. Made to feel so welcome by a lovely host as always. The food is the best Indian food ever!!

The very very best.. Incredible food service and atmosphere

Top quality food and very reasonable costs.

Finally someone has made this venue work!! What a lovely Indian restaurant, easily the best in the area. Amazing food and service 👏

Was good pub for walkers. Now nicely done up and the home for Krishna Indian Restaurant. This is the family run business that used to be on the A32 into Gosport. That was really excellent and the best Indian I have ever been to. We will see if this is still the case. Meanwhile it still has a good garden with tables.

Excellent food and friendly attentive service. We all agreed it was the best food we have had for a long time.

Krishna’s at the Roebuck in at 55 I have loved Indian food since I was around 12 I have eaten in probably 50 plus different Indian restaurants over the last 25 years including some of the Well known London restaurants such as Benares in Mayfair Chutney Marys Verraswarmy’s Krishnas is right up there with the very best had around 4 meals there now all been awesome service is great very friendly good advise on food selection. The quality of meat seafood etc absolutely first class Great decor and nice pub garden. I have recommended it to friends family all have loved it. If you go I guarantee you will be a regular. It has been voted best food in Hampshire on OpenTable it’s not hard to see why. Good value for the quality of food. Lots of free parking. 100% recommend

Fantastic all round. The Biriyani is the best!!

We had a delicious meal here last week!! I love the bright decor in all the various dining areas, with an outside terrace and a large beer garden too. Plenty of parking is really helpful. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Highly recommended! It does get busy - so make sure you book a table! They plan to do B&B's and Takeaways soon too! Fantastic!!

Was visiting to carry out repairs to the gas system, Spotless kitchen, chef insisted I had some lunch, and I have to say it was the best curry I have ever had! Will defo be visiting next time I'm in the area with the family for a sit down dinner :)

Came here for a birthday meal it was amazing. Staff were amazing and even though we hadn’t booked they managed to find a table for us in the restaurant. On the contrary to what you may think it was around £50 for two of us with samosas popadoms and obviously two amazing curries. The jalfrezi was absolutely amazing complements to the chef whomever it is. Definitely will come again!

Delicious food…👌🏼 good service 👍🏼

Great food and well kept local ale

Dropped in for a drink walking along the old railway from Wickham. Very nice pub with a nice garden.

By far the best Indian food around! Great atmosphere, lovely staff and the food is second to none! Will definitely be coming back!

Recently turned into an Indian gastro pub. Absolutely delicious food - love the food from the tandoor oven and great naan bread! Good service too.

I can see why it's called the best Indian in Hampshire, best Indian I have had outside of London! Lovely staff too, diamond of a find!

Out for a dog walk along the meon trail, and saw a sign for the Roebuck inn, went in for a coffee, ended up eating a fantastic tandori king prawn curry. Would highly recommend this place as the food and service is great.

Excellent, totally transformed the place , lovely atmosphere , great food and drink 1st class

Newly refurbished as a pub / Indian restaurant. Ordered a couple of starters while enjoying a drink in the garden. Lamb chops and garlic chilli chicken were both delicious. We will be back. Well worth a visit

Nice Pub popped in for a couple of drinks.

Popped in on a Sunday for lunch. I had chicken tikka. Lovely. My wife had buttered chicken with rice. Most excellent. Only thing concerned about was poppadoms, for 2 people Had 3 half's. (Most odd)!

Really enjoyable lunch. Pleasant atmosphere and attentive staff. It’s a good example of a British pub that retains a traditional feel but meets modern standards.

Amazing pies 🥧 Loved the food, and the service was excellent. Thank you 😊

Our first visit, After having a lovely walk along Wickham,We stopped off for a bit of lunch. Lovely clean pub, welcoming from the young lad. Food OMG!! The Lamb pie absolutely delicious & a good portion, when our food was brought out the gentleman saw we had a dog, Then returned with a big bowl of water & some treats. Would definitely recommend. Look forward to returning.

We ate at the Roebuck Inn after hearing about their pies. They didn’t disappoint, they were absolutely delicious. You choose your pie then a selection of different choices of sides, including 3 types of mash. I needed gluten free and there was a big selection of pies and other food available. The staff were all very helpful and friendly… we’ll definitely go back.

Lovely food at a reasonable price will be returning regularly. Staff helpful and kind

Really lovely country pub. Went with family after a big walk around the local forest. Food excellent - big portions, very well presented and really tasty. Priced very reasonably too. Very welcoming staff and our (muddy!) dog was made to feel very welcome too. Looking forward to a return visit soon.

We stopped for lunch. Great food, freshly cooked. Great service.

A regular stop off for a coffee whilst dog walking. We had Sunday lunch this week, which was delicious. Very friendly staff.

Great freshly cooked food, friendly welcoming staff. And dog friendly 😁

Nice friendly place to drop in during a walk. Very accommodating.

Very happy we stopped off here on our walk around the area. The staff were very pleasant, lovely location and very well presented. The vegan curry was great and a well sized portion for the price, my wife also very much enjoyed her omelette. I would definitely recommend this pub.

A nice pub with many beers on tap. Friendly staff with clean and welcoming inside. Well priced, 5 hot chocolates for 15.00. Very large with huge marshmallows. I would recommend more signs near the walk path(old rail road) as we would not have known about it, if it wasn't for a friend remembering about the pub from years ago.

Provides a great lunch at a very rentable price with good staff who serve a good menu

Great pub with lovely roasts and pies. Good, welcoming service. Dogs allowed 😁.

A nice cosy pub to visit after a long walk. Guiness from a can is not ideal. A smile also would have been nice.

Christmas Sunday lunch with friends. It was fantastic ! Thank you all for wonderful service.

This gorgeous pub/hotel was recommended to us by a work colleague who had spent her wedding night here and what a wonderful find it is! We had a family reunion with family travelling all the way from France for Sunday lunch. The staff and owners could not have been more welcoming, attentive or kind. A fact I thought was rather telling was that it was a wet, windy & muddy day with lots of families, couples, the odd damp child and numerous soggy dogs popping in and everybody was welcomed with a warm smile and friendly service. The menu was perfect with a good variety including selection of portion sizes and the food delivered with perfect preparation and wonderful flavour. All things considered this pub was an excellent place for us all to catch up and feed our tummies. It's a rare place to find nowadays where you are not having to shout over the noise of loud, piped music, fruit machines or rowdy mobs. A good, traditional, cozy country pub surrounded by beautiful countryside with exceptionally clean tables & facilities catering for all ages and muddy species. Highly recommend the pies, the Sunday roast and the vegetarian options. There was nothing negative about our experience, thank you for a really lovely Sunday afternoon 🤗

Stopped for Sunday lunch here after searching and seeing Google reviews of 'the best Sunday Roast'. The staff were very pleasant and accommodating and the pub was well presented, but the food was just okay. Big portions but pretty basic otherwise. Not the worst, not the best!

Very warm welcome, food excellent and the service was outstanding.

After touring Nelson's fort stopped in for late lunch

Great pub and food, shame dogs again.

Great to see a good old country pub up and running. Food was great,a bit of a wait for it but was tasty. Lady behind bar was very friendly. Doggies allowed in as well.

Popped in for a drink and a starter. Lovely pub, nicely decorated and staff were so friendly. Nice touch giving our dog water and some treats! :)

Just popped in for a drink, not great customer service, didn't feel welcomed.

Great pies, well worth the trip.

Visited twice whilst we were camping up the road. First visit we had a lovely meal - the pie menu is fantastic! The next day we stopped just for drinks on the walk back from Wickham. Great service, warm welcome for dogs and a cosy atmosphere. Not busy on either occasion which was a real shame as it's a great pub and we would definitely go back if we are in the area again.

Great Sunday veggie roast at a reasonable price. Embarrassing as our dog kept barking when the food bell rang🐕‍🦺🐕

A great dog friendly pub with an interesting menu. Lovely food, we didn't go hungry. We'll return

Really lovely mothers day lunch today for myself and my mum, friendly attentive staff, delicious food, and so welcoming to my young children and mum's dogs. We felt cared for 😊 Nice garden area too and we loved the complimentary glass of prosecco for mothers day which was an unexpected bonus!

We had scampi and chips which was very good and so was the coffee. Staff friendly and helpful. One star lost because we would have liked a few olives or maybe bit of nice bread to eat while waiting, but none on offer.

So much of an improvement since previous landlady Sarah tried to promote Eastern European sausage rubbish. When she realised people didn't like her fayre she moved on. Now new Landlord serves good food and some lovely beers

We visited here despite a daming write up in the local paper. You can never trust the media! This same paper gave the Bridge Tavern in old portsmouth a 5 star rating. We went there with friend and it was a total disaster. Anyway, Barry and Dave gave us a warm welcome as did there staff. As I had worked a long day And was tired I just had scampi and chips but the home cooked steak and ale pie my partner had was delicious.

Dog friendly. Very welcoming. Nice place to stop whilst walking through meon valley

Just a nice place to stop and have something to eat and drink, dog friendly.

The Roebuck is a lovely cosy pub with a relaxed atmosphere. On the 3rd Tuesday of every month Southern Swing play big band music there. Good food and a selection of real ales.

Went for a walk along the disused railway and stumbled across the Roebuck. Friendly service, superb food and good coffees. Worth popping in if passing.

Very good service and excellent meal

Friendly welcome, good atmosphere and great cake

This was the second time I have visited this pub It was freezing cold as none of the log fires were on, After a good 15mins of complaining it was cold we were eventually offered an electric heater & blankets (but who wants a blanket around them while eating at a pub) Food was fantastic both times. Staff are nice and Friendly, however they are a little show at first.

Nice atmosphere and location. Friendly service. They unfortunately lose one star as we asked for a "starter" to come out with the mains, it came on it's own as a starter, clearly this wasn't communicated properly. And another star because I ordered fish and chips and out came what looked like your typical frozen Birds Eye fish, nothing special at all.

Very friendly service and a relaxed environment to enjoy a meal.

Nice staff, good selection of beers and food

Had to initial wait to see if the Roasts left could used by me and a friend, only 15 mins, as we waited the offered to give us a free coffee and the sausages we ordered for the dogs. Roasts were very nice and staff were very friendly and pleasant

Poor beer no atmosphere. Lost all its charm

Should have walked out shortly after walking in. Abrupt, rude landlord who didn't seem interested in our custom, then a 10 minute wit for anyone to take our drinks order, never mind food!! 40 minutes plus after finally ordering food, I have to ask how much longer it would be. As there was a delay on one of the meals I decided to cancel and get the hell out of this establishment. The only 2 drinks we ordered were awful and I have no clue as the quality of the food as it never materialised. Unless you enjoy being treated as an inconvenience, ignored and have all the time in the world to sit waiting, I strongly advise you to go elsewhere.

Great night out. Fab live music, great landlord - really enjoyed it.

Absolutely disgraceful meal. All food you can tell is brought in frozen and warmed up. Rack of ribs, was awful. Chips taste like old oil used to cook. Never again.

Fab food and service today thank you. Great traditional pub food 👌

A really nice family pub offering home cooked food with friendly staff beer garden at the back of the pub for the kids wheel chair friendly restroom on the ground floor would recommend if your passing

Popped in for lunch on way to afternoon activity as interested to see what new owners would have done with the pub. Sadly, our lunch had not appeared after half an hour. When we chased it up, having given waiting staff our time deadline, we were told it wouldn't be long. Eventually lunch appeared and landlord brought it out. No word of apology. Lovely waitress reappeared as we were leaving and told us our order had been binned by the waitress behind the bar! Apparently, she didn't understand what it was for so she threw it in the bin! Teething troubles, yes, but after a couple of months! Absolutely no sign of any apology by management, even though it was the landlord himself that finally brought our lunch out. It's not difficult. You make a mistake and then you can do what you can to smooth it over and get people to come back rather than leave negative review. Management made no effort at all.

Lovely pub. Nice friendly staff. Food is good too. 👍

Good service friendly bar staff very good food

Good service, sensible prices, nice place, lovely garden.

Great that muddy dogs and boots are welcome was lovely sitting in the garden the staff were very nice and gave us a water bowl for the dogs

Lovely place food yummy big portions

Great place good food and beer nice out side you can take the dog

New General manager Barrie Frederick's in charge from 23/08/2021. Mcdambi Catering and Events Ltd have left and set up their own Restaurant in Fareham Town centre and wish Chit Chat Catering all the best. Take care and good luck with the pub. Xx

Highly recommended! Popped in for breakfast/work meeting, very welcoming and friendly. Everything was clearly freshly cooked to order and very good value - extra large fry up for £6.50 including tea. Asked for poached eggs which they happily accommodated and cooked perfectly. Free parking right outside which is almost unheard of and free WiFi too! This place is well worth a visit if you're passing by (normally go to the local Wetherspoons which is always a disappointment), This cafe deserves to be a lot busier, you could travel a lot further and only get half the breakfast they sell here. Homemade cakes looked really good too!

Very comfortable cosy little cafe, with great friendly very patient staff, food is excellent, home cooked and amazing value!! Keep up the good work x

Really good home cooked meals, such good prices , great little Cafe. I had Quiche and salad and the Quiche was amazing. Have been every week since my first visit

Food was great, staff were excellent

Undoubtedly the best quality and value meals in Pompey. A real hidden gem.

Good food cooked properly and lots of it and a good price

Lovely roast dinner freshly prepared and friendly staff

This cafe is amazing. The staff are friendly and so nice. The food is great homemade food and the cakes are amazing. I would recommend giving this place a visit. It's definitely worth it. And to top it all off its not expensive at all. Where else could you get a full large English breakfast for under £5?

Great food at great prices along with some excilent, freindly service.

Unbelievable home cooked real food not found these days.Cooked and prepared by the most fastidious chef at the most generous pricing...Well worth finding this gem...Once found you will spread the word and return regularly..pinching yourself to confirm it is no dream...Honest...

I would definitely recommend, it's open 7 days a week, it's such a lovely family friendly place. What I love the most it's all home cooked food, which is absolutely lovely. Dave the owner/chef is such a lovely friendly bloke, makes everyone feel so welcome. He makes home made cakes, which I can't resist. I can't recommend this highly enough.

The cafe is cosy and inviting the food is homemade and excellent (try the steak pie awesome!) The cakes are 2 die for.
