Stumbled across this tea room on the upper floor of the Trading Post at Port Solent. Had a lovely cream tea. Beautiful setting and decor, a very quaint 'proper' tea room. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Would definitely visit again if I am in the area.

An excellent tearoom with friendly staff. This is a great place to have lunch if you visit Port Solent. Situated in the old boardwalk, it has a great selection of sarnies, smoothies and cakes (see photos). My better half and I shared a club sarnie, and a special, potato skins with cheese and bacon. My Cappuccino was great and there were a variety of smoothies. Totally recommended.

Fabulous Baby Shower. Food was home made and delicious. Endless Tea and Coffee. Service was spot on, attentive but not in your face. Good price for the package we received. Would recommend.

Afternoon tea, pre booked and advised at time of booking one of us was vegetarian. Shown to table, 25 mins later no sign of food so asked. It appeared, but vegetarian not catered for. They tried again, but still bought out a tuna sandwich among the vegetarian ones. Had to ask for the cream and jam for scones. The manager did come and apologise and explained they were trying to train new staff. Won't be going back anytime soon.

I had breakfast here with a friend. The service was good & the staff friendly. We had the full English & a bacon sandwich. Both were delicious, as was the coffee. The cafe itself is beautiful & we also had a view out to the marina. A lovely way to spend a morning. I've been here several times before & always look forward to my next visit.

Chose to have an afternoon tea here, partly because it is a very lovely venue, partly because we would be supporting an independent business.We were celebrating two occasions, so it was double celebrations for us.The venue was clean, felt very safe and the staff were excellent and, of course, the views are fabulous. As it was a doubly special occasion and a wonderful, sunny day, it wasn't until later that we felt that £36 was very poor value for what we had been served. I had also been lucky enough to have been treated to a wonderful afternoon tea here a few years ago. I had photographs to refer to, and the difference in quantity was noticeable.I don't feel cross, but upset.

I visited Gracie-Ann with a couple of friends. I ordered the cream tea and was certainly not disappointed. A huge scone, with cream and superb strawberry jam. The first bite was wonderful, full of flavour. I enjoyed every mouthful. My only issue is the layout of the room causes an echo, which meant I had to strain to hear the conversation. Not a lot Gracie-Ann can do about that. Thank you Gracie-Ann, we will certainly be back.

Went yesterday. The food and drink is very good, no issues there. But the service is really slow and the staff as polite as they are, just ignore you unless you specifically try to get their attention. So you might be waiting a while. Sorry but that is just not good enough. It does not make you feel like a valued customer at all, which considering they have only just re-opened, you would think they would make more effort to bring a good service to customers. Also the decor is boring (although you do get stunning views out of the window of port solent if you are lucky enough to be seated there) and there is not much atmosphere. The cakes and food are amazing though so you wont be disappointed by the food. I have been a few times now and wont go back again as I just dont think the service is good enough. Maybe it is better during the week when it is quieter

I have recently placed 3 separate orders (all for delivery) from Gracie Ann’s Tea room. Two were gifts and the other was a valentine afternoon tea for myself and my husband. All of the orders were beautifully presented, super fresh and there was plenty of it too. As a frequent visitor to Gracie Ann’s I would recommend it, once lockdown is over I’ll be back there enjoying a breakfast with friends in a super location.

I am not local to Portsmouth but found Gracie's Ann Place online.I needed help with ordering a tea for 2 for my friend's baby shower (hosted virtually due to the lockdown). I managed to order a lovely tea set with delivery and very good price! The communication was excellent and the staff was lovely and supportive. Since I mentioned that tea is for Mum-to-be, we have been surprised with amazing cupcakes box. It was absolutely not expected and it was such a lovely gesture and a great surprise. It is great to discover local places and know that some of them really care and will make sure that your order is looked after and personalised. Would absolutely recommend and we will definitely visit the tea room when we come over to Portsmouth (once the restrictions are lifted).

My friend and I visited Gracie-Ann's today. I had barely been out since March due to Covid restrictions and this place felt like a small oasis of normality. It is Covid-safe, displays the QR code prominently at the entrance, the tables are well spaced and there are separate entrance and exit points. The staff wear masks or a visor and it felt pretty safe.My friend and I enjoyed a pot of tea and a slice of raspberry and white chocolate cake. The tea was served in a decent teapot and the cake was light, fluffy and delicious.We were served by two young ladies, both of whom were very efficient and absolutely charming. Emily, who took our payment was particularly nice.If you visit Port Solent, Gracie-Ann's is well worth a visit.

I have visited Gracie Ann's Tea Room several times since lockdown was eased. It is the only place I have felt comfortable in. They have taken great trouble to keep it Covid friendly. I have noticed how the tables and chairs are cleaned before customers sit down. Our service last Wednesday was excellent and my niece and I enjoyed a delicious vegetarian breakfast each. Condiments and sauces etc. were brought to the table and there was plenty of distance between us and others. It is the only place I have felt truly comfortable and would thoroughly recommend. I di phone to try and book but it is made clear on the answer phone that only high teas can be booked

Unfortunately I had a terrible experience at Gracie-Anne’s this morning. Me & my friend who hadn’t see each other since lockdown decided to meet here which is our usual catch up cafe.When taken to a table of 4 & were then told that we had to sit next to each other It was their protocol. I said we were friends & would need to socially distance & asked if it was ok if I could sit the other side of the table. They said no. I then asked if I could move my chair to at least to the end of the table. Again no. They said I would be too close to the table to our left which was actually far enough away & distancing would have been fine. At this point there were only TWO other tables in use & throughout our whole visit the tables next to us were not in use. This makes absolutely no sense whatsoever & to be honest we should have just walked out. We ended up having to try & move our chairs as far away from each other as possible but felt very uncomfortable & completely baffled. I’m completely shocked by what happened this morning. I know it is difficult times for all businesses but this needs to be changed ASAP. All my previous visits to Gracie-Anne’s (pre lockdown) have always been good. Such a shame.

We were looked after by a wonderful lady (we sadly didn’t catch her name) but she made sure we were happy from start to finish & made extra special efforts for my little boy, who loved his lunch and the Dino kinder egg surprise! Very much appreciated, went above and beyond to ensure he was happy - which made us very happy! Highly recommend- it was also his first time having scones and he said they were delicious! Myself, Mum and Grandma all agreed too! We had a lovely afternoon & will be back! Thank you so much

I don’t usually leave reviews for anywhere that we visit but I feel I need to get this off my chest! We visited here today as a treat for my daughter before she starts school next week and were very disappointed. I didn’t book a table as I wasn’t aware that we had to but we were seated fairly quickly, this is the only good point.It took 30 minutes before anyone came to take our order and then another 25 before our food was bought to us. Considering we only ordered cake and a drink each and nothing that needed to be cooked this took a rather long time and I could see the cake was sat on the counter for a while before being bought over to us. The main reason that has lead me to leave this review is that when I asked the waitress which cakes were available (not allowed to the counter to have a look) she listed around 4 none of which my daughter was particularly keen on but I ordered her one anyway.. she didn’t eat it. When I went up to the till to pay I noticed there were other choices on the counter that I wasn’t told about and that my daughter would have really enjoyed, brownies and millionaire shortbreads.I understand with the current situation that things have to be done differently now but you could at least give customers the correct information to order from or add the cakes to your menu! It was also extremely hot and stuffy with no windows open and the noise level was very loud. We left pretty quickly feeling too hot and with a headache. Sadly I wouldn’t recommend going here to anyone.

Visited Gracie-Ann’s tea room for breakfast during a stay in Portsmouth. The staff were all lovely and service was good. The food was fresh cooked and to a pretty good standard. I’m gluten free and there was numerous options. Our only criticism would be that we found it was a bit pricey for what it was. But, not sure if this is a reflection of post Covid times. Otherwise, very pleasant cafe.

We ordered jacket potatoes. They are served with a side salad and coleslaw. Sandwiches are also served with a side salad and coleslaw. Run out of jackets so we ordered a salad bowl (about 25p cheaper than the jacket and about £2 more expensive than sandwiches), as hubby is wheat intolerant. We were served with the filling, lettuce, tomato, cucumber and that was it. Not even the coleslaw that is served with everything else! £8 for prawn. £7.25 for tuna mayonnaise. Didn't realise until we had left they hadn't taken our details for track and trace either.

Tres amigos y yo reservamos una mesa para 3 tés de la tarde para compartir. También pedimos una taza de té extra. Los bocadillos eran muy frescos con una buena mezcla de rellenos. Había mucha mermelada y nata para los deliciosos bollos. Además, había una gran selección de pasteles: zanahoria, brownies, muffins y flapjacks, ¡delicioso! Mi única pequeña preocupación que tenía era el distanciamiento social y tener que compartir cosas. La camarera no llevaba mascarilla y las mesas estaban demasiado cerca para mi comodidad. También la mermelada y la crema venían en una olla cada una, que teníamos para compartir. También tuvimos que compartir una tetera y una jarra de leche entre nosotros.

Waited 40 minutes for our order to be taken. Went to counter to look at cakes as there wasn’t a cake menu. (Even if there was a cake change daily, a board or small menu could be updated) I asked where I should order and I was told it was table service. After about 20 minutes I went and spoke to the owner who said someone would be straight over. No they weren’t! Other people sat and had orders way taken before us, so my friend called for a waitress to come over. After another few minutes our order was taken. We were all considering going elsewhere!

I tried to contact Gracie-Ann's to purchase gift vouchers for afternoon tea, a gift for my daughter in law's 40th birthday. We live in the north of England and she is in Portsmouth, so I thought this would be ideal. However, after several attempts at calling (the calls go straight to voicemail, where the message is that they 'will try to return the call before end of business') As I needed to know about this, because I wanted to get the gift sorted out asap, I contacted Port Solent office who kindly said they would contact Gracie-Ann's and ask them to call me (I had left details). Still nothing, and have not heard anything yet so I have given up and gone somewhere else! Terrible customer service

I don’t have butter in my sandwiches and my friend doesn’t like egg, staff are always so friendly and accommodating. Never feel rushed, great that you can just graze through all the delicious sandwiches, scones and cakes. Stayed for another drink afterwards and my friend even booked another afternoon tea before we left. Thank you and will be back again soon.

Went to Gracie-Ann’s today as it had been recommended to me. Found a table quickly in what looks a lovely tea rooms. We waited quite a while for someone to take our order and proceeded to order drinks including a lactose free milk mocha and then dairy free cake which were the reasons for our visit. Although it states on website that they do lacto free milk apparently they don’t anymore and also had no dairy free cake. We were so disappointed as we had driven down from Eastleigh especially. Ended up with a black Americano and no cake. The hot chocolate also ordered was luke warm at best.

Being lactose intolerant I find it hard to navigate a menu sometimes and find things that I can have. Gracie-Anne's does an amazing job at delivering superb service and catering to dietary requirements. A wonderful afternoon tea was a rare treat, thank you!

I've been here many times for lunch with a friend however, my husband and I went the other day for afternoon tea. Straight away the owner came over and asked how we were and was so friendly and welcoming. I asked if we could do the afternoon tea. I know many places where you can't do afternoon tea until 2pm onwards so wasn't sure but luckily we didn't have to wait until 2 and could get it straight away.

We had a cream tea experience. It was excellent, huge scone (and a choice of flavour scone) lots of Jam and real Clotted Cream. Their menu has a good and varied selection of food from sandwiches/jackets etc etc. Reasonably priced. Staff very friendly and attentive, and the Tea Room is very pleasantly set out. The Tea room is located on the first floor above the Trading Post, but does have dissability access. The ground floor Gracie-Anns is an Ice cream and sweet parlour. Highly reccommend a visit.

This is a lovely venue for tea, chatter and catch-up with loved ones. My daughter booked this for my birthday and we were both chuffed to bits. There's lots of lovely things to eat and a bottomless pot of tea; daughter requested soya milk with hers and this was provided without fuss.

Popped in for a quick bacon sandwich and cake but like always food was very good ! The only down side is finding a table as its always busy !

We hadn’t booked the afternoon tea (which is something they ask you do to) but lucky for us they were able to do it. I’m quite fussy with sandwich fillings and the team were more than helpful, ensuring that I had things that I like. The sandwiches were on lovely soft bread, the cake selection was fantastic and the cherry & coconut scones are amazing! We were so full afterwards, we didn’t eat another thing for the rest of the day! Staff are super friendly and made us feel really welcome. One of our favourite places to go when we are having a girly day

I came in last Saturday at 12 o'clock for some tea, the service was absolutely incredible. The staff were friendly and helpful, especially Mollie. It was a great experience overall and the tea was lovely. Would recommend to a friend!

I love this place, it is very clean and the staff are lovely. The food is great But it is very overpriced especially as I had only ordered 2 toasties 2 soft drinks and 2 slices of sponge cake and the price was over £27.oo

We had my daughter's Baby Shower here. We had 2 members of staff just for our party and they were very helpful and polite. The baby shower included all the decorations, including lots of balloons. The food was lovely and we were given boxes to take-away any leftovers.

We actually ended up here by default. My wife and I decided on breakfast elsewhere at Port Solent as it had been recommended by friends but when we arrived it was inexplicably closed so we decided to go upstairs to Gracie-Ann's as the hunger pangs were beginning to bite. It was clean and tidy with plenty of room. We were seated but were unsure whether it was table service or order at the counter so we sat for a while to see what happened. After a while of inaction I went to the counter and ordered. Our food arrived fairly swiftly and it looked good. It was tasty and sufficient. While we were eating we noticed others coming in and sitting down but they had their order taken at their table, perhaps just a glitch or they were "regulars", I don't know but perhaps something that needs to be sorted. Not expensive for Port Solent venues but I would expect table service.

Extremely rude member of staff, unhelpful and no structure to seating system. Left without ordering, won't be returning or recommending.

My husband and I visited for an afternoon tea today. The waitress was very welcoming and immediately organised a drink for us. When she brought the tea she asked if either of us had any food allergies. When I told her I have a cheese allergy, she asked if it was airborne or when eating cheese. I said it wasn't airborne. She then brought our afternoon tea with my sandwiches on a separate plate. This was ideal and I was very grateful. She told us the cakes on the top were carrot cake, muffins, sponge and a chocolate brownie. I asked the waitress if the carrot cake had cream cheese in the frosting and she went to find out. Another lady came out and said there's no cheese of any kind in the brownies!!!! I said I didn't think there would be, but I had asked about the frosting on the carrot cake. She went away and came back saying yes there is..... Unfortunately all the cakes were touching, so I was unable to eat any and we were not offered any other cakes. I wasn't able to eat anything else, so we had the small cakes put in a container and we brought them home for my husband to eat.

If you don't want a big meal this is a popular place for light refreshments of the "tea and cake" variety. It occupies part of a large 'room' that has some tiny shops like kiosks on two other sides.

I’ve been to Gracie Ann’s a lot of times, with friends for coffee. The staff are friendly, and it’s in a lovely spot overlooking the marina. But, today we bought fruit scones to take away. The only advice I can give is don’t! Mine was stale and tasteless, and we paid £3 each for the privilege.

I took my son and baby here for a drink. My son chose a window seat and I followed up with my small pushchair. I hadn't even sat down yet and was told pushchairs are usually seated in the lower level (with no view). I said my son wanted to look out the window, and was asked to move the pushchair to the lower level once I'd taken my baby out to feed as it was in the way for the adjacent table. I noted the table next to us was booked for 1130, it was 1050 leaving plenty of time for us to finish and leave (which we did). Due to this I did not have a drink myself as I had nowhere to put my baby to free up my hands. On the plus side it saved me £6 for a cup of tea and a scone!

We visited this afternoon (after getting lost and arriving late) we were warmly greeted by the 2 young ladies working there. My daughter has an egg allergy...I had sent a message at the time of purchasing the voucher but hadn’t heard anything so thought she could just have the ice cream! To our delight the staff had created an “egg free” bubble waffle for my 8 year old, also checked the allergens of all the toppings, sauces etc..This rarely happens with egg as it’s not as common as Gluten or Nut allergy’s. It made my daughters day, she was so chuffed so thank you to the staff there, can highly recommend, we will be back again.

Second oldest pub in Portsmouth and it is the highlight of the place. Breakfast was good and plentiful. The room is small with wonky electricity and plumbing,but I guess one must expect that in a 300 year old building. The wifi works well. Staff are businesslike. I wouldnt stay here again,but I'm glad I had the experience.

Never been met by people in a small business so annoyed to receive custom, tutted and huffed as I entered the shop, yes it was 14:45 and the shop closed at 15:00 but that’s no excuse. I ordered 2 rolls, once the filling was in the roll I stated which salad I would like in each and was told there was no salad left?? No discount offered and to make matters worse when opening the rolls outside the shop the fillings were incorrect. Another customer entered the shop behind me the staff members both rolled their eyes and gave him a dirty look, if you don’t want to be selling products until you close maybe worth advising a cut off time for rolls and food to be made. The filling in the rolls was a good portion and tasted good but wasn’t what I ordered. I won’t be returning
