Donny's in Fareham

La prima volta che sono stata in questa "pizzeria" sono rimasta un po' delusa o meglio non soddisfatta del tutto, sia per quanto riguarda il servizio, sia per quanto riguarda il prodotto, ma nello stesso tempo ho colto la possibilità e la futura concretezza di un talento latente che gradualmente sarebbe esploso. Mi sono voluta dare una possibilità e ho voluto dare una possibilità a tutto lo staff: sono ritornata, nell'arco di un mese, circa 3 volte, per motivi lavorativi, altrimenti sarebbero state più di tre le volte. Ho constatato il progresso, il gradino in più raggiunto in primis dai ragazzi in pizzeria, e quello relativo alla qualità degli ingredienti. Scrivo questa recensione 15 minuti dopo aver degustato, e non mangiato, un piatto gourmet, anzi no, gourmet ormai è un termine usato da tutti per descrivere tutto e in maniera inappropriata. Non è facile trasmettere la bontà, l'eleganza e il piacere che " cio'" che ho degustato ha prodotto...... sicuramente è prettamente soggettivo ma va sperimentato per poter comprendere. La foto in basso è ciò che una mia amica ed io abbiamo ordinato: fior di loto; gentilmente ho chiesto se fosse stato possibile effettuare una modifica, mi sono resa conto anche dell'affluenza di gente e di conseguenza della eventuale reazione negativa dei ragazzi in pizzeria, ma devo dire che, nonostante il caos, hanno accolto e soddisfatto le mie richieste/esigenze alimentari. La "pizza" scelta prevede, come scritto sul menù, della tartare di tonno, alla quale sono particolarmente sensibile. Come antipasto abbiamo preso le solite patatine fritte, alle quali in pochi rinunciano quasi fossero un piatto proibito da preparare a casa, ma che suggerisco di non ordinare solo per poter lasciare spazio a qualcosa di sublime; a seguire delle bombette su base di cicorielle e questo ci ha portate ad optare per una sola "pizza" per motivi di "pienezza", prossima volta infatti le patatine non le ordiniamo.....qui è difficile rinunciare all'assaggio delle varie "pizze" esposte sul menù...motivo in più per ritornare e provare un'esperienza e una sensazione culinaria diversa ma sempre importante e ricercata di elevata qualità. Una recensione lunga ma per sottolineare la gentilezza e la disponibilità dei ragazzi in pizzeria nel soddisfare la richiesta....la mia amica ha ricevuto la pizza così come da menù....io invece ho richiesto di non utilizzare la tartare di tonno su metà....ebbene le due metà della "pizza" ci sono arrivate impiantate singolarmente e in modo elegante.. e questo fa sentire il cliente importante e considerto.....ho scritto "pizza" sempre tra virgolette perché non può essere definita, a mio avviso, tale, ma questo è prettamente soggettivo..... tenete questo locale in considerazione. Unica cosa rivolta prevalentemente alle ragazze di sala, non "aggrediteci" subito 😊nel senso dateci tempo di leggere il menù e di scegliere, perché,pur comprendendo il caos e la voglia di offrire un servizio celere, non è facile la scelta perché in quel momento vorresti sul tavolo tutto ciò riportato nel menu ..... vellutato ed elegante il vino Chicca. Migliorare sempre mai regedire

Seems to have changed hands and was very poor standard of food ,dirty tables ,very overcooked and inedible chips and no salad served with lunch even though advertised on menu ,10 minute wait between orders,needs some qualified staff if wants to stay open .

Another fantastic visit to Donny's! Food was fantastic as always, staff were friendly and efficient.

Covid secure x lovely fresh wholesome food x Great staff who go the extra mile x Fish finger sandwiches and paninis both great x

Always liked this place today first visit since lockdown and really unhappy walked in it said wait to be seated we waited and we're called by a young lad who was stood at a table by the counter he didn't greet us at the door to ask us to do track n trace or sanitise we sat down he served two other tables who came in after us before we got his attention to place our order he was miserable in general ! We never got asked at all if we had don track n trace In general a very unwelcome place not at all friendly and shabby needed a lick of paint by counter won't be back

Visited the other week for the first time in a while with my grandad was lovely we enjoyed every moment of it the food was amazing and we was very quickly served, we really didn’t wait long for our food and it was good price, we both had the all day breakfast and it really wasn’t what we expected it was a VERY good amount for the price we paid we then had pudding but my grandad couldn’t eat it all so they said he was able to take it home with him, compliments to the chef and girls who worked there, i pre booked a table and seen as we was early we still got seated straight away and they served us near enough straight away and they was lovely people to talk to both girls were very smiley!! Lovely place to visit, very friendly and very clean area will definitely be visiting again☺️

Such a friendly atmosphere and the staff have always been very polite. Love seeing a little village tea shop doing so well especially in these uncertain times.

Visited Donnys today and omg what a disappointment!! Donnys has always been one of our favourite places to eat, but today everything about it was a letdown the restaurant was bare and looking very shabby and not the shabby chic it used to be. It was dirty and the food standard was definitely not up to the usual standard. My mother who is 76 had the all day breakfast and when she returned home has been really not great has been violently sick. I’m not sure if Donnys has changed management but it is not recognisable as the pretty tea room as it was before! Very run down and there was only two Young members of staff working that we had seen and not the usual busy restaurant with lots of customers and staff. They closed as soon as we left - so sad

Went in to Donnys on Saturday having visited the cafe before and was very disappointed with the service. My friend had gone in on the previous Saturday and had walked out as had been left unattended. This Saturday we experienced the following; - No acknowledgement on entering despite there being numerous staff and only half full - Had to request a waitress as was left unattended after sitting for some time - We had finished our food for at least 20 mins and the dishes weren't removed and we weren't asked if the food was ok or if we wanted anything else - we went up to the till and despite two staff being there again we weren't acknowledged initially - we were asked what table we were on and the girl seemed to pull out our order and then asked what we had eaten - she then was then not confident with the amount charged and was confused Really needed some member of management directing the staff. I understand the owner is not there on a Saturday and really needs to be! I won't be going back in a hurry!

My friend and I visited today for lunch. It was very busy and Sharon the lovely waitress was attentive, polite, friendly and busy as she was alone and doing everything. Our food was lovely and fresh. We would highly recomend Donnys Tearoom and would like to thank Sharon too.

Came into Donny’s the other day for the first time and absolutely loved it! The coffee’s were lovely and the food was fresh and tasty. I was very impressed with the portion size! The whole experience was a enjoyable one. We was greeted warmly by a lovely lady who swiftly came over once we was seated and had time to look at the menu she took our orders and our drinks was on the table not long after ordering and then came the food. Defiantly will be coming back again!

We decided to give Donny's tea room a try, we had a lovely time and the food was fresh and enjoyable. The kids had their own afternoon tea which they had a choice of cake, the adults enjoyed a choice of sandwiches, scone and cake. The service was fantastic considering their was one lady serving but she ensured she greeted all the customers on arrival and explained she be with them. The price was reasonable and we would definitely recommend and return.

Went there today with my sister for lunch. First we had to ask for menus. The table was cleared but not cleaned. We did not receive menus after 10 minutes so reminded another waitress we still didn’t have menus. After about 20 minutes we still hadn’t been asked what we wanted from the food and drinks menu. We were so fed up with waiting and being neglected we left going to another restaurant in Hill Head where the service was excellent There was a big table of eight people which had probably been ore booked. If you know you’re going to have big numbers and being a Saturday you would think you would have more staff and maybe someone a bit senior as all the staff were young and didn’t seem to care 😔

I hosted an afternoon tea baby shower here yesterday and there were 16 of us with children, ages ranging from 10 weeks to 11. It could not have been better. The staff could not have done more for us and ensured it all went without a hitch. The decorations were tailored to suit and had lots of lovely finishing touches. The food was perfect and sooo much of it! I brought some games and they set it all up for me and we all had an amazing time. Just everything was perfect, and I really cannot thank them enough!!! Highly recommend and I will be back!

I was invited for breakfast by a friend and had already eaten at home so just had a bacon sandwich. The bread was standard sliced loaf so not very special. The bacon was OK. My friend had a full English breakfast which looked fantastic and for £5 including coffee was tremendous value for money. I must try the full breakfast in future.

Super friendly little cafe serving lunch time snacks, hot meals, afternoon tea and gorgeous cakes. My baguette was so filling I took half home with me. Delicious dressing on the accompanying salad

Stopped here for lunch, having never visited before. We both had the soft baguettes (one cream cheese and salmon, the other Brie and bacon)which were lovely but huge! The whole experience was made so much better by having Hannah (H-A) as our waitress. She is a delight, so smiley and made us both laugh with her enthusiasm. That said all the staff were lovely. Many thanks, we’ll be back!

I have been visiting Stubbington for several years now because of their excellent gift shops, but the highlight for me is looking forward to having lunch at Donny’s. Although the owners have changed a couple of times over the years, they wisely keep the same loyal staff which, I’m sure, makes Donny’s feel like I’m coming home each time I visit. They welcome every visitor to the cafe with the same warmth and kindness whether they are regulars or first-time customers. The food is always delicious and their cakes, as always, are divine! I drive over 30 miles from my home to visit Stubbington, & Donny’s makes every mile worthwhile.

Excellent choice, food and service Friendly and welcoming staff Lovely atmosphere Just keep coming back - would totally recommend

Had lunch with 3 young children; as we entered we were not met with the warmest reception but let it go, slightly annoying when before even ordering we were told they do not allow food to be consumed on the premises that has not been bought there pointing towards my child’s lunchbox; which actually had his toys in it (and finger food for a 6 month old). We had intended to order food for our toddlers anyway so feel better customer service would have been to wait until we’d made our order before jumping to conclusions!

Took my little girl in for afternoon tea and it was lovely.

Soup & jacket potato with beans and 1 drink... £14 90p ... tad expensive.. but the jacket was lovely.. my friend didnt like the soup.. far to much cream.. service was efficient and fast enough.. only criticism... was the cost

Visited with my young son today and I was so disappointed by the service, particularly as we have visited many times before (when it is really busy like it was this time) and we have always loved it here.

My friend and I went for breakfast 🍳 and lovely it was to ,staff very friendly and a very cosy place ,

Popped in as was hungry, looked like a nice place and had just about half hour to eat lunch. I was asked to choose a table and was given menus. I had a high tea, drinks and food menus. I chose an all day breakfast which seemed reasonable for the advertised £8. I ordered at 1250 and waited, I thought max 15 min wait, (it was not busy). I was served at 1314, I had a meeting at 1330 nearby and needed 5 mins to get there. So I had to shove the food down I and was still chewing when I went to pay. The server asked me for £9.60 to which I replied that it was advertised at £8 she said “no it’s £9.60 and I must have had an old menu”, I was running late and gave her £10 note and left as I didn’t have time to “battle” it out. Really nice food, such a shame about the slow service and lack of customer service. Won’t be going back.

Thought we’d try donnys today for lunch since it’s been taken over service was shocking was told there had been a mix up with order on a few occasions then people around us that arrived later were getting their food!

We are here house sitting and went to Donnys for a nice cup of tea when all of a sudden i was in agony with pains in my chest straight away they were there to look after me and never left my side whilst waiting for an ambulance.They looked after my husband and made sure he had something to eat has he is diabetic.They have medical training and new what to do I Can't thank them enough they are a brilliant.

Fish fingers sandwich.- fish colour was grey not white and fluffy ... chips where dry and tasteless lettuce looked wilted Overall .. expensive and service was slow with only a few tables. Other tables were complaining of the service.

A friend of mine, her little girl and I stumbled across Donny's over the weekend and it looks beautiful, cute decor and very shabby chic and the menu looked great!

We have visited many times for lunch/brunch and always had an enjoyable visit. This time is was afternoon tea for my birthday. I love their scones!

Went for breakfast with my husband this morning!! Absolutely lovely! Staff very friendly and quick service! ... just read previous review! Food bland ... no seasoning?? Its a cooked breakfast?? Salt and pepper available on the table!! Silly comment to make ! ... we enjoyed it very much! Sausages are lush!!

Stopped for breakfast and left disappointed.

The staff were very nice and friendly, however we felt there were one or two improvements that would have made the visit more enjoyable, especially as we had the 'Rolls-Royce' afternoon tea. Firstly the bread used for the sandwiches was ready-sliced wholemeal whereas better teas we've had used artisan bread. Secondly, we felt there was insufficient cream for the scones and when we requested a little more we were charged 75p; this was disappointing.

Visited Donnys Tea room today. There was 5 of us; 3 adults, a teenager and a 1 year old.

Pleanty of choice and with a home made baked taste, good polite staff, very attentive vintage decor,gives a relaxing feel.

Visited Donny's at lunchtime on a Saturday. I have had lunch here many times and was looking forward to another good experience.

Arrived at 2.40 for a quick late lunch with my daughter. Told on arrival we had to sit "here" as waitress was cleaning and closing the back of the room.

Visited Donny's over the weekend and I was very disappointed with my experience. We were seated promptly near the till, no sooner had we sat down we were being asked what we wanted to eat/drink. My wife asked if they had chocolate cake....they did not. We asked what they did have in terms of cake and they had a small rather disappointing selection available which wasn't so much of an issue considering the time was getting on. Once ordered the two young girls who were waiting tables stood rather awkwardly near the till watching the tables. This made me feel uncomfortable. The cakes we ordered were delivered to the table 2x lemon drizzle and a chocolate brownie. The brownie was small and very dry. The lemon drizzle cake was much better and had a nice flavour. We had practically finished our cakes before our drinks arrived at the table, no sooner had we had a few mouthfuls of our coffee we were greeted with the bill. Already feeling pretty fed up with the poor service and a dry brownie I took my bank card out of my wallet and popped it on the table in front of me in preparation to pay once I had finished my coffee. Seconds later the young girl put the card machine under my nose. I didn't even finish my coffee as I was so frustrated with my experience we just got up and left. I will not be returning and I don't normally write bad reviews but I was exceptionally disappointed.

I have been visiting Donny's for nearly 4 years now and I always enjoy my time there.

A lovely experience on a sunny Thursday afternoon . My friend and I had a long awaited catch up over delicious sandwiches of our choice, scones with jam and cream and cake of our choice, in fact I needed a doggy bag for my black currant and earl grey cake which I enjoyed later.

This tea room is decorated to perfection but let’s face it,you go somewhere like this for good food. We all had a cream tea to share between 2 and there was barely enough for 1. I managed to have 2 small ham sandwich triangles,a cherry scone and a few cups of barely warm tea.It didn’t help that only 1 person was on shift serving our big group. We had a lovely time at the baby shower, it’s just a shame I had to go home and have something to eat! At £16.99 per person,I felt this was a total rip off and therefore will not be returning nor recommending.

I won a voucher for "cream tea for two" in a raffle so made a booking. What I didn't notice was that the voucher had expired as it was only valid for 3 months. It was only a couple of weeks over the expiry date, but the cafe refused to accept it. OK - so it was my fault for not checking the details on the voucher, but 3 months isn't very long and what harm would it have done to honour the voucher, or at least show a bit of sympathy and perhaps offer something else as a goodwill gesture?

Their own website says it closes at 4.30.

Visiting my cousin , who lives locally, I was delighted to find this lovely tea room. It serves all sorts of items, more than just " tea at teatime". We both had lunch, I had prawn mayonnaise wrap and my cousin had tuna sandwich. It came with salad and crisps. I had a banana milkshake, to re live my childhood. It was delicious. Just as they used to be. I didn't have extra cream, but it was creamy enough without. The setting is great, overlooking the little village green. The weather was good so we sat outside. I went inside to see that the interior is spacious and beautifully decorated. The staff were attentive and very helpful. All in all a proper "little gem". Highly recommended.

We often frequent here on a weekend lovely food and cakes. Great service and reasonably price. The tomarto soup in the winter is a favourite of mine.

We went to donnys and I had an all day breakfast ,would you believe it since when has an all day breakfast included chips ,my egg was awful I asked for it to be turned and the bottom of it was crisp not good ,and when the lady came out with my brekfast she upset my tea and it went all over my dress not even a really good sorry and can I get you more tea no she just walked of ,I used to like it in there but seems to have gone down hill ,won’t be going back ,but will to stubbington as I like the little shopping area ,

Had my bridal shower here and it was lovely. Donnys open up on a Sunday for such events and it looked beautiful. People walking past were commenting and my guests also said what a lovely place it was.

I visited Donny’s for the first time with family on a late Saturday afternoon (15 mins before last orders) only to be greated by a sulky waitress who clearly had nothing on her mind other than closing time. We were advised in a rather passively aggressive tone that it was just drinks and cakes. I shouldn’t have asked for a scone...it’s not a cake! The drinks and cake were set down on the table with no interaction from said sulky waitress and we all couldn’t help think what a shame Donnys! It’ll be Costa for us from now on, you know what you’re getting and it doesn’t feel like you’re unwelcome or a nuisance.

I come here regularly for breakfast and think the food is of an excellent standard and not greasy at all. You don’t have to wait long for the food or drinks to arrive.

I have visited this lovely friendly cafe several times now with friends. We all enjoy tasty breakfasts. Friendly and helpful staff. Would highly recommend a visit.

lovely atmosphere, airy, relaxing. plenty of choice and staff always pleasant. Cakes always look so good.

I visit Donny's every week with my friends for breakfast. We never fail to get a very warm welcome from the lovely staff and they are always willing to accommodate our food choices . Donny's is the hub of the village and it's food is...

Very poor customer service, avoid buying their gift vouchers as they are completely inflexible. We never got a chance to experience our afternoon tea as we missed the voucher deadline by a few days and they refused to extend it. After writing to the owners...

We were recommended to this restaurant and decided to take my mum for lunch here. We sat outside ordered our meals and drinks and were charged in advance of being served our food because we were sitting outside. I have lived in Australia and travelled...

Called in for an elevenses coffee with grandchildren in buggy stayed outside so as not to block space being as it’s a double buggy, I ordered a latte a fruit shoot and 2 tea cakes the drinks turned up first followed some time later by...

I went in for lunch on Saturday with my daughter. The cafe was busy, the waitress was good and we had a nice lunch. However, when I went to the counter to pay the lady (who I assume was the manager) was extremely rude to...

We booked a few weeks in advance for a table of 7 for a baby shower/work leaving gathering. The only time we were offered was 2.30pm which was fine for us. A few of us arrived and the waitress came straight over and bluntly said...

I don't visit Stubbington very often but when I do I always make a point of calling in here.

Lovely place to sit have a snack and talk . The owners have this place right we go every time we're in the village

On arrival the lady straight away greeted us and showed us to our table. I took my grandson who is two and a highchair was provided. He was getting abit restless and one of the young waitresses noticed and brought his dinner out for me before we got our meals so he could start, Children's menu and good value too. Me and my mum had jacket but the filling that we wanted wasn't on the menu but it was no trouble for her. My mum wanted a slice of cake but it was no trouble to take away either. The place itself is lovely and clean and the food was gorgeous,would definately go back there and have the cream tea next. Would highly recommend it here but I just like to add all the front of house ladies are very polite and very happy which was lovely to see.

My lovely nieces bought me a voucher for "Afternoon Tea for Two" - lovely! Or so I thought...

Excellent staff, friendly atmosphere and great breakfast! What my re do you need. Oh yes well priced!

Having visited for a baby shower, I have since avoided this tea rooms, with other similar tea rooms in the area providing better service. The person serving us was sadly rude and unwelcoming.

Popped down to visit friends and stumbled across Donnys. My friend hadn't been in for 8-9 yrs. So, I pushed to pop in as I wanted a good coffee. Wasn't disappointed- unexpected surprise when you enter. We had a flat white (made correctly!!!!!!) and a pot of tea with some scrummy homemade cakes. Well worth a visit if you're in the area, there's a free car park 20 yards away. Also outside seating. Go check it out they do picnic hampers too...

My mum & I made a spontaneous trip to Donny’s this week. I’d been there before for afternoon tea (which was really nice!) but that was a few years ago so wasn’t sure if it had kept the standards up.

Expensive don't mind paying for good food and service but didn't get either here won't be back any time soon

Dropped in for brunch, lovely service, although busy, didn't wait long and served with a smile and very friendly and the food was hot and tasty.

The food here is good, the service was great and is good for disabled people, they offer outside seating in summer also, have been here a few times, the price is slightly higher than you would normally pay but is worth the money.

My family and i come in here for breakfast a few times a year and generally its pretty good but...

I went there the other day for lunch with my mum while visiting area and the food was lovely and the staff were friendly and the place was really clean and I would definitely go back if in area

So lucky to have this little gem at the heart of the village.

Our first visit to this tea room was on a Saturday lunchtime, in mid September 2017. There were two Dad's with their little darlings who made quite a lot of noise. The cafe is large inside with little to absorb noise. There's some outside seating too. My leek and potato soup was very good and you get a good piece of bread and butter with it. My other half had cheese on toast, which although costing £5.99, was a double decker and came with salad. Tea is served in bright and pretty crockery. I did however expect more of my lemon tray bake - it was'nt that tasty. Staff were very nice and accommodating.

Visited with my family for a nice lunch on my daughter's birthday. We were not disappointed. The staff were so friendly, even putting a candle in my daughter's piece of cake for her, and our meals were freshly cooked and delicious. We will certainly return to Donny's for more of their sublime cake!

Wanted to have a nice brunch. My wife uses Donny's a lot so we decided to go there. Two all day breakfasts and two teas £19.58. I took the loyalty card that my wife uses; 12 drinks to get a free one. 12 is a lot considering the competition's are usually 5 or 6. Anyway, on presenting the card, which had 10 drinks on it already, I was told "that's an old card. The new owners don't accept it. Do you want me to throw it away?". What a shame. Although the lady wasn't particularly rude as such there was not a hint of apology. Just a very blunt "no!". I can only assume that the cafe is such a roaring success that they have decided that treating people in such a blunt way and not honouring a loyalty card which is going to cost them pennies for a drink that will mostly have someone else with it and probably some cake etc. is the way forward. Not for us I'm afraid. After many years of enjoying this local cafe for local people we won't be back. Good luck to the new owners. Top tip; you're local and local people talk to each other. Bad news spreads way faster than good.

Second time I've tried to take my Mum for afternoon tea, second time they tell me they are closed; twenty past three today. When I pointed out that the sign on the door said they closed at four thirty, the only response was "we're closing early today". No reason, no apology. I won't bother trying again.

Very expensive for a poor sandwich filling with no taste I will not be returningNot a vast range on their menu and staff are a little bit.... yeah wotever

We booked here for a special afternoon tea for my Mum's birthday. We were able to have the place to ourselves from 5.30-8pm at a very reasonable price per head which included a lovely tea (sandwiches, scones, cake, tea/coffee & glass of prosecco each) for 26 people. The place is beautifully decorated & the tables had been laid with birthday/80th confetti - balloons were the only thing we had to get ourselves & they were ordered from Forget Me Not just across the road who dropped them over for us ready for the start. Wonderful afternoon which my Mum enjoyed very much. Thank you to the staff for making it so lovely. The service was great - attentive & friendly. My daughter is Vegan & whilst they were not able to provide a vegan option for her, we were able to bring food for her which they served on a cake stand for her & glass of prosecco which they didn't charge for. Great venue for a special occasion. Thank you.

We popped in for a coffee and a snack.We ordered a salmon and cream cheese sandwich which came with a small salad,crisps and coleslaw and it was delicious.The bread was thickly cut and very fresh.The cafe is clean and bright and the staff are pleasant and friendly.

We dropped in for an afternoon snack and a cup of tea. My friend had a calorie laden slice of cake and I had fruit cake. Nicely decorated cafe too.

Lunch with a friend, disappointing because the food was over-cooked. I had chicken and bacon salad and even with mayonnaise I had to drink a mouthful of tea with each bite to avoid choking, the chicken and bacon had no moisture at all. If the salad had included sliced tomato or cucumber it may have been a little easier to swollow but it was just dry leaves. My friend had omelette and chips and she said the chips were so very dry, as was the omelette, over-cooked again. Such a pity because the waitress, service and ambience was all very good.

I used to be a regular visitor. I loved visiting after walking my dog and although unable to sit inside was quite happy to sit outside. The coffee isn't the best so I always opt for tea. I used to treat myself to cake which was ok but the prices gave crept up. I assume there was a change of management a while ago as the last couple of visits the staff have been very rude. I'm not allowed inside with my dog to order and have struggled to get attention for someone to come outside. When I have eventually been served the lady has been very abrupt and huffy. The final straw was today when I saw an incredibly rude reply to a customer complaint on Facebook regarding refusal to provide some tap water to a paying customer's dog. I will not return.

Terrible Customer Service. Dogs not made welcome in outdoor seating. Not willing to provide drinking water for dogs despite it being a hot day. Shall not come again. Costa across road has a more Customer focused service.

Have supported this place as it's local. Never again. I gather a customer after spending a not small sum of cash had the audacity to ask for a drink for her dog....big mistake decimate big no way. I mean how much trouble would it have been to give a small dog a drink on a hit day? Stuff you Donnys my partner and I will not return. I recommend costa IN THE VILLAGE much better and friendly customer service.

A very pleasant visit for coffee and tea cakes with a friend, very good atmosphere , service was excellent

Went with a friend for lunch recently. Didn't know it existed but what a great find. Lovely decor, great food and good service. Will definitely be visiting again.

I frequently come to Donny's and have not had a bad experience yet. I've been for breakfast, lunch and cake there and it has all been great. Fry ups are fresh and tast and i can highly recommended their eggs benedict. Lunch specials vary but i have had lovely quiches and lasagnes. Cake wise... wehere to start?? All are delicious but especially their lemon and blueberry! If you really cant decide then you could always go for their afternoon teas too which are good value for money.

I have been here twice now and what a lovely place it is. Warm and friendly staff and the food is super. I meet my friend here for a catch up over lunch and you are never hurried or made to feel you have stayed too long. Thoroughly recommend.

First visit but Donny's was a charming place to have tea and a chat. Service good, atmosphere friendly and delicious warm cherry scone.

Couldn't fault the wonderful afternoon tea provided at Donny's for a family get together to celebrate a 60th birthday. Ros was super on the organisation, very efficient by email and Lee's food was amazing. The friendly and polite service made everyone feel welcome and nothing was too much trouble, even allowing those who were just too full up, to take their slice of cake home! We certainly recommend Donny's and will be returning soon.

We had lunch here. The service was ok it was busy so we thought we try it. There was only one jacket potato left. My friend said I could have it. When the food arrived it was a massive plate with barely anything on it. A small jacket potato with a small filling and some lettuce leaves. The lettuce leaves had gone funny. My friends salad had gone funny to. I been to a couple of these places and they normally have good portion size & nice salads. I thought this place was very disappointing & expensive. Probably wouldn't return such a shame because it seems a nice place to enjoy.

When planning my sister surprise baby shower I looked around a lot for a place with private hire to do afternoon tea, Donnys was the best without a doubt. Leading up to the event they were always happy to answer any questions and make some changes to suit our needs. On the day there were so many elements that added to the perfection of the day. Firstly, the decorations provided were so beautiful and thank you for putting them up along with setting up the decorations I provided. Secondly, the food was amazing and made fresh.. more than enough for everyone too. Lastly, the girls who hosted today were so kind and attentive. Thank you soo much for your help and for making it such an amazing event. Couldn't fault anything :)!

Over crowded, understaffed, the worst tasting coffee ever, seriously what is the crap you are serving up!? Will stick to Costa in future.

We had a bite to eat here on Saturday lunchtime. It was impressively busy. No soup so had cheese on toast. The cheese was tasteless so asked for Worcester sauce. That didn't help so tried brown sauce. In the end I left it. Wife had pate. It was straight out of wrapper. Service was slow, had to walk up to get bill despite several requests. Easy to complain, but adequate and enjoyable for some. Nice to see a business thriving but we won't rush back..

My fiancé and I had breakfast here on New Year's Eve. It was really busy however the staff still made sure they found space for us. The drinks were way better than the food but all reasonably priced.

Went to breakfast for the first time here today. Wasn't impressed really overpriced for what it was- sausage didn't look cooked, one slice of bacon, potatoes rock hard small portion of beans. Really disappointed felt like a bit of a rip off when your paying £6.00 for it and you've had much better for less elsewhere!

My wife and I have visited Donny's for evening bingo and quiz nights and have enjoyed the evenings events. As a result of winning the last quiz, we attended, we had a voucher for free afternoon tea which we used in mid December. We found the whole experience very good. Service was first class and the cake tray with selective sandwiches, cake and scones/clotted cream was something to behold. Although what we had was free, due to the winning voucher, I certainly would not begrudge paying for what we had and will be revisiting at a later date.

Granted there isn't much to do in downtown Stubbington, but a trip to Donny's is a pleasant way to pass the time. Everyone working there the two times I wend this visit was very helpful and happy to help me and accommodating to my American ways. There's a chain coffee shop in Stubbington now, since the last time I visited. I'll take Donny's over that anytime. The decor is a women's paradise but I didn't feel uncomfortable as I sat and read my newspaper waiting for the women in my party to show up. Top notch and this will be my go-to place whenever I'm in town.

Visited Donny's this week together with my wife for breakfast. A friendly welcome on arrival from our waitress, who most attentive to us throughout our stay. Lovely clean and interesting décor. We both ordered the Village breakfast which was freshly cooked, served piping hot and was delicious to eat, so congratulations to the kitchen staff. The price was somewhat high for what was on our plates and certainly higher than some other establishments in the Lee / Gosport area whose food preparation and service is very comparable to Donny's. A small point of contention was that the large tea pot was only half filled with no provision for extra hot water, although I suppose the only two teabags would not have survived extra water. Overall an enjoyable visit but not one which would make my wife and I rush to return to try other menu options

I have visited Donnys on several occasions with a friend but this was the first visit with my husband for breakfast. I had the eggs royale and he had the big breakfast. The eggs royale were superb the muffin was toasted so slightly crispy and still warm topped off with salmon and sauce hollandaise. There was not too much sauce so the salmon was not over powered which has been the case elsewhere. The big breakfast was big with eggs, bacon, sausages, sauté potatoes, baked beans ( Heinz), tomato and mushrooms. A cuppa and slice of toast were also included. Well presented with quick efficient service. Will be visiting again.

Simple but tasty. We had generous sandwiches with chips. Good service. Milkshakes are also recommended!
