Inn on the Beach Restaurant in Havant

Lovely place with amazing views!

Nice location with great service. Good food as well, especially the nachos.

Came here for lunch with the dog and husband, the indoor dog friendly seating area had the most amazing view, the decor/furniture is a bit tired (similar with the outside, we thought we got the wrong place when we pulled outside as it looked a bit rundown). The menu was small but the food was pretty good, we had the chicken Caesar salad and nachos but it was on the expensive side for the quality. In summary, lovely place to sit and have a drink!

Pricey food (which is fine) but unfortunately zero quality control in the kitchen to support the high prices. Almost inedible pork belly bites (in a Asian dressing). Was basically a bowl of chopped up pork belly drowned in sriracha/Frank's like a bowl of soup 👎 £9. Focaccia with balsamic, tasted like malt vinegar, no oil, dry bread£7 👎 Mussels with fries and baguette, well only half a mini baguette torn in half not cut 🤷, mussels were tiny, cracked shells, and beards on so many we just stopped eating, sauce was thin and unappetising chips were good. unacceptable that it came out of the kitchen £18 Pigs in blankets looked like they were microwaved, thick sausage and back bacon very funny taste £7 Smoked salmon mousse, tasted good but the crustinis were stale £9 I went in to complain and the barmaid just said she's sorry that I'd had the experience, the manager was stood next to her but allowed me to walk away without really addressing the problem, I collected the uneaten food and took it up to the bar where another customer remarked at the mess on the plate, I said to them I wouldn't order any food here, that's when the manager suddenly could hear me and said I shouldn't be advising others about the food 🤣, we got a partial refund (just to shut me up I think) but that came with a load of attitude and slight anger from the manager who needs to work on his customer service skills. On the plus side, the pub is lovely the bar staff are also lovely and polite and they do a lovely German lager on tap (can't remember the name) views are stunning, great place to watch windsurfers, although the outside area needs a good refresh as is very run down. Shame no one is checking food before it comes out, lower the prices to reflect the standard or up your kitchen game.

We walked for several miles to this place. Whilst ordering a drink at the bar I saw food being carried out from the kitchen. The guy that took my drinks order could not serve the drinks (said he was not trained yet). So I stood there for a while until the ‘manager’ came back. When we asked if they serve food it was a resounding yes. So we took the drinks and menus and sat at the table. Minutes later I go back to place the food order, only to be told that they don’t serve food until 16:00 and it was 15:20…… This ‘experience’ is what I refer to as a sub standard. Not good when one is thirsty and hungry between certain hours. Especially when there is no notice online or inside this place and they tell you that only after you got the drinks. Not likely to ever come back here.

Food excellent, large portions, staff super friendly and cold drinks. The views are spectacular.

An excellent Sunday Roast among many others.

very nice place with a sea view, good food, affordable prices

I had a burger and chips. It was average and expensive for the offering.

Friendly staff today. Great outside with the sun and sea.

A quiet and wonderful place to go to. Amazing view and atmosphere. Service was great. The food was fresh and was wonderful. Will definitely go back again.

Nice location but looks tired & grubby. Toilet cubicles so small you have to straddle the toilet to shut the door.

Thought I’d bring my family here for some lunch today being nice weather and right on the beach. Well, what can I say, This place really does deliver the whole package! From friendly staff, to quick service and beautiful food cooked to perfection 👌 My husband and eldest son both had the 8oz beef burger with sides of chicken wings and mac and cheese, the portions were big and everything was cooked just right. We ordered 2 kids chicken chunks and chips and they were really generous portions and the kids loved it (they are fussy kids too) I really enjoyed the crispy pork belly bites in Asian sauce. The location is great right on the beach, the sun was shining, all in all a really lovely few hours spent. Definitely compliments to the chef ☺️ We will definitely be visiting again soon!

I cannot comment on the food because i did not eat there. It did look really nice though. The place where the pub is situated is in the middle of a beautiful beach on each side. When you approach the entrance from the back the appearance of the pub is dirty, unkempt and and nasty. The sign outside is about to fall over and needs replacing. There is not enough umbrellas outside. The toilets need ripping out, they are disgusting.what a let down to hayling islands beauty spot

Excellent food, decor very dated and a bit scruffy. Service staff was a little stressed even though not especially busy. Would go again as location beautiful on the beach.

A simply perfect few hours sat in the sun! Everything just done perfect! Fish & Chips gorgeous, beautiful view, clean outside area, cold beer and fabulous service! Well worth the long walk and we will definitely do again x

Great service, great food and a great sea view too - the best cod and chips I've had in a long while. Perhaps under new management?

Mixed review. Staff were friendly. Met with a smile etc. Not a bad word to say about them. Food however was hit & miss. My wife said she enjoyed her food but the portion size for the chips was a bit poor. My fish was abit bland & my chips were undercooked. Would I go there again? Yes for a cider by the sea. Probably not for dinner.

Great location . Fish and chips excellent- good value. Dog friendly. Inside in need of a revamp but you cannot beat the view

Great location Fish and chips excellent and good value. Dog friendly. The interior badly needs a revamp but you cannot beat the view

Popped in today for a couple of drinks which do regularly and decided to have something to eat (we'd seen people having food lots of times and it looked really nice). So glad we did.. We chose three starters (chicken wings (hot) x2 and pil pil Prawns and focacia with balsamic oil. The wings were the best we've had in years, the prawns were beautiful - fresh and sweet) and the focacia was absolutely lovely. Flavours were amazing and quality of ingredients was excellent. Portion size was impressive with plenty for both of us. Service was friendly (as always) and food came out quickly. Would 100% recommend to anyone...thanks Inn on the Beach!

Dan the manager has got a new chef and changed the menu.Food was excellent 👌, I had pint of the Alton ale highly recommend going here.The service was first class, definitely worth a visit.

Terrible service, long wait for food and when it arrived it was cold. Staff need training.

Re visited after a delicious meal before. New menu had a three course meal. To start I had the crispy hallumi salad followed by the vegan mixed bean burger house special . This was the Chefs secret recipe I was Informed. These vegan burgers should be sold in the shops. Bursting with flavours. ( HIGHLY RECOMMEND) followed by the cookie sandwich which I've never seen anywhere else before . I was so full up but I did not want to leave any. I went home very satisfied with every penny that I spent.

Visited today Easter Monday, although they were busy they managed to accommodate us after a brief wait. The fish and chips and burger were excellent. Our first visit but certainly not our last

Unfriendly staff you need to put a door closer on bar door most annoying bang when people go in and out

Great food and service. The staff were really friendly.

Had a fab cheeky lunch before a long walk. The buttermilk chicken burger was an absolute beauty!!!

We were recommended this restaurant as we need somewhere to go to eat as the restaurant at the hotel was closed. When we got there we didn’t realise that we would have to pay for parking eating at a restaurant, we had no choice as we were tired, jet lagged and didn’t want to drive around. On arrival restaurant looked nice, we were met and was told to sit where we wanted, service wasn’t overly great and it wasn’t busy. We saw on the menu that it stated 12.5% would be automatically added to our bill at the end, which was classed as a service charge. I am British and I have never known that we have to tip or be charge service fee tip should always be given at discretion. We did ask for it to be removed and it was there was no way the service that we received at this restaurant all the quality of food warranted at 12.5% service fee. We both ordered fish and chips. The fish was tasteless. The chips on my plate was so hard I couldn’t actually eat hardly any of them basically they were raw. My husband had a pint of beer and I had a half a pint of cider and when we got our bill at the end I was shocked that it came to £45. I have never paid that much money in my life for a fish and chips and half of what was on my plate wasn’t even edible. during the hour that we were there not one person came over and asked how our meal was. People were walking past our table and we were basically just ignored. We are on vacation but if we weren’t, it’s a restaurant I would never ever go back to location, ambience yes but everything else sucked.

Nice seating inside and a lot of seating outside with great views of the sea and coast. Friendly staff. The menu wasn't to our taste, so we didn't have food inside. Some of the prices looked expensive for what was described on the menu, depends on what you're looking for in a meal. There's a fish and chip stall just outside the Inn, which I take is part of the establishment, that was expensive, piece of fish, scampi and 1 portion of chips came to £24.00, wasn't worth it, scampi alone was £10.00.

Really friendly staff even though food had finished were able to recommend other places. Able to enjoy so many games they had available and enjoyed our scrabble game! Such a lovely atmosphere would absolutely recommend

Pleasant venue for lunch. Not speedy but relaxed and nice food. Easy parking (you pay). Great location with indoor and outdoor tables.

Good service but slow, however good beer. It needs a lick of paint and updating. So much potential

It's a really beautiful spot, however, we were told we couldn't get their usual food menu because they had a big party and didn't have enough kitchen staff. Very disappointing as we asked what time the kitchen would be open until before starting a walk down the beach and weren't warned it would be busy. There was a review a few weeks ago saying the same thing so this must happen often. What made it worse was that we were seeing people being served food who could only have arrived just before us. Nice spot for a drink though.

Amazing service and absolutely brilliant food, I was informed our chef was Jason and I cannot complement his cooking enough and the staff behind the bar (Izzy and Steve) were friendly and helpful the entire time.

I was incredibly lucky to win a £30 voucher here, and today we spent a beautiful Sunday in the stunning location of Inn on the Beach. The food was absolutely incredible, and the children’s portion was extremely generous (pictured burger and chips). The staff are all so friendly and inviting, and the board games section meant we kept the kids entertained without technology. The views of the sea are stunning and the children loved to watch all the windsurfers from the window. The manager Dan, and his wife Paige, were so friendly and so brilliant with our children. We finished off with a beautiful walk along the beach. Thank you so much, we can’t wait to come back - a true gem to visit

We ordered two Flat Iron Steak, two Fish’n Chips and one Pie of the day. The service was really friendly and the food came quickly and was absolutely delicious. Also the Treakle Pie and the Apple and Plumb with custard was an absolute treat! The view was great and we will recommend this Inn to everyone we know! We ordered two Steaks, two fish and chips and a pie “of the day”. The food arrived quickly and was delicious! The waiter was a very friendly guy and helped us with the menus and orders. The view from the restaurant is amazing, we will recommend this restaurant to everyone. We hatten das Steak, die Fish’n’Chips und eine Pastete. Das Essen kam schnell und war köstlich. Das Steak wurde je nach satiere personale Schmack. The view was very nice and the service was very helpful and nett. Very helpful!

Been here a few times now in the last 2 weeks and have very much enjoyed coming for the food. The place is ideally located next to the sea with some great views. The staff are very friendly and when the sun comes out it seems to get busy with diners.

Apparently changing ownership, but fine place with great coastal vistas!

Food amazing staff amazing and we will be back soon.

Nice pub with great views. Has a large outside seeing area next to the sea so lovely to sit out there on a sunny day. Unfortunately was unable to get food as when I was there 2 large parties had arrived so they weren't serving for a while. Staff were very friendly and they had a nice selection of beer on tap

Fantastic spot on the beach, great terrace, cosy interior, while we didn't have food the plates served to other guests looked tasty and plentiful. Good service and drinks selection. Good spot to whine down, enjoy drinks and food with friends and family. Beautiful sunset

I did not enjoy the the food and service here.

Lovely charming place, but the breakfast was over priced and very small.

DON’T BOTHER! Arrived at 11.25 am didn’t see a staff member for 20minutes Travelled over one hour drive for breakfast When asked for breakfast menu at 11.45 was told no food until 12 ‘we are getting ready for lunch’ Why does website say kitchen open from 9am and serving food until closing Also states breakfast served till 12! Staff member offhand when approaching re food service times We did have coffee which none of us enjoyed Burnt GO SOMEWHERE ELSE

We held a team day out in the conference area at Inn on the Beach and I would definitely recommend. The space was perfect to accommodate our group of 30, allowing us to break out into the different areas for our different activities. Dan was super accommodating ensuring we had everything we needed leading up and on the day, he also put on a lovely lunch for us. The venue also had a TV screen which was a great addition for our presentation.

Went on the spur of the moment, we sat in the conservatory.wonderful views out to sea.Served by attentive staff both at the bar and when ordering food.The food came quite quickly and was well worth the wait. Looking forward to our next visit

Splendid restaurant with delicious food and friendly staff. We always enjoy coming to this lovely spot, from which fine views out to the sea can be enjoyed. The staff were hospitable and went out of their way to help us. Our baby is still very young so it can be daunting taking her on days out, but the ginger bearded chap behind the bar put us at ease straight away. The Irish chef was friendly and cooked us two outstanding meals - a full English for me and a breakfast butty for my wife. Sorted us right out for the day! We can’t wait to come back.

Had a lovely couple of hours here Mon 24th Feb. The view was lovely so relaxing. I ordered fish and chips and my partner had the.smashed burger. The meal.came out very well.presented. we.were.really impressed wasn't expecting it to look so good. And.oh my goodness The best fish and chips ever. And my other half thoroughly enjoyed his burger and also commented on how good the chips were. Definitely coming back here again. First class.

Great service and better food! I had the cod with the chorizo stew and it was stunning. I could taste how fresh it was ( Almsot like they had just fished it out the sea) and the stew had such a high complexity of flavours. Me and my partner will be returning!

The location and view are great... Can't say what to food is like as we didn't get any. They forgot us and on a really quiet day so good luck if it's busy..

Was recommended this place after I found out one of my favourite Irish chefs have taken over been following him for a few years now his food is always top tier so I thought I’d bring my family down what a experience it was staff are amazing very nice run place. Food was amazing especially the puddings Definitely coming back 5 star Irish chefs for sure! What can’t the man do!

Went here not last weekend, but the weekend before. Had never heard of this place before, nor had I ever been to Hayling island. However, my partner and I just wanted to pop out and try somewhere new. So glad that we did! The day was gloomy and overcast, but even still the atmosphere in the pub was warm, welcoming, and cosy. With wide views out to the sea. We even noticed, as we strolled back from a walk later that evening, that the conservatories seemed to have adorable, fairy style lighting on the ceilings! Food wise, my partner and I were able to have drinks, starters, and mains all for £75 - a good price in the current climate! The food itself was also exquisite, I personally had the Scottish Mussels and what a treat! I can't wait to have them again, took me right back to childhood holidays having Moule in France! Seriously couldn't have been happier with the experience. Can't wait to go back!

Food good, however the lunch special portions were little small compared with we just came off a long walk on the beach

Great Sunday roast in a great location on the beach. Excellent value for money and great service. A must if visiting Hayling island.

A lovely place for food and drinks, and the location is beautiful! Dan and the team always give 5* service, would highly recommend to anyone!

A very friendly welcome and bar service.Food arrived in a timely manner and was delicious.Great value for lunch.This is our second time here and the staff and food are faultless.Thank you .

With pleasure I give this establishment a five star review. The service is excellent; all staff I have met are polite, friendly and when not busy bring coffees/teas over to our table. It is fairly priced in comparison to other establishments and has the best outlook of anywhere on the island (in my opinion). Dog friendly (in the conservatory area at least - not sure about main restaurant). It is always best to book at weekends as the restaurant can become very busy and whilst the staff will endeavour to accommodate it isn't always possible. Lovely coffee and generous pots of tea too!

We turned up without booking they were very busy but they managed to find us a table for two, the food was well cooked, well presented & delicious. The staff were very polite & welcoming. Would definitely recommend this place

I had the crispy chicken starter which was very good. Overall good experience. I was disappointed that there was hardly any fish on the menu considering the place is right on the beach. Parking situation is not clear

Nice coffee, and terrace, unfortunately we did not have time to eat, however, apparently it is very good...

Didn’t have food but love this pub for its great location and wonderful atmosphere. Great view of the beach and great staff.

Visited the beach which was beautiful

Such a lovely place to sit and watch the sea, surfers and the view of Portsmouth and Isle of Wight. The service is so friendly...one of the nedt things about it. Very dog friendly with water bowls and doggy biscuits available at the bar. Went on a very cold day so it was quiet and peaceful. Stays open until 6pm so can watch the sunset.

Drove here for a Sunday breakfast to be told we don't do it on a Sunday sign was up saying breakfast served till 12. Paid for carpark

lovely food, and great service.

No parking. Food is so so and it's overpriced. Decor is outdated. The whole place needs a touch up

many years drink and eat here,but in 2024 december everything was awfull...no beer,no whiskey but the menu was full with them.tha attitude of the personel 🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮

We visited the Inn on the Beach on Boxing Day, hoping for a special post-Christmas treat. Sadly, it didn’t live up to expectations. The car park was a soggy mess, with large puddles making it difficult to find a dry path. Inside, the restaurant was festive but chaotic, with noisy diners, barking dogs, and cramped seating. Although we had a nice view of the Solent, one of our chairs was awkwardly placed in a doorway, which was uncomfortable. Service was slow, and the menu caused confusion. My mother, who booked in October, had been excited for the Christmas menu but was disappointed to find it wasn’t available for smaller groups—a fact that wasn’t communicated when booking. The regular menu was basic pub fare, and although there were options for vegetarians, gluten-free, and plant-based diets, there was very little choice for people with sensitive stomachs, like my elderly mother. When the one suitable starter (celeriac soup) was unavailable, we were left without a starter altogether. The mains were uninspiring but acceptable. My mother managed to get the last haddock and chips, while I settled for a chicken pie, though the menu incorrectly listed it as steak. Dessert was similarly disappointing; there was no crumble, so I went without, while my mother had a brownie she described as just "OK." The setting is lovely, and the staff were polite, but the disorganization, menu limitations, and lack of attention to customers with dietary needs made for a frustrating experience. It was a real shame, especially as my mother had been looking forward to this for weeks.

Went for a Christmas meal. Beautifully decorated and felt very festive. Bar staff were great and poured a great pint of ale!

Family of 18 for Christmas lunch. Have to say the best we have had- the downstairs area was opened as we had both wheelchair and wheeled walker users with us. The staff were attentive and food great! will be making our go to for every year.

Ghastly. Felt uwanted / an inconvenience despite booking ahead. Food ordinary at best. No table service and struggled to find anyone to take our order. Should have walked out in hindsight.

Thank you to a great team, your enthusiastic, attentive & helpful service meant we have been able to give mum the best family Christmas gathering! you were absolutely fabulous in every way!

We had fish and chips at this inn yesterday. The fish was seriously overcooked. Beneath a very crispy batter the fish was hard and dry. So disappointing. We gave this feedback to the waiter, who said it was impossible. An apology would have been more appropriate.

Absolutely wonderful meal, went to celebrate my husband's special birthday. Manager and all staff couldn't do enough so rare these days to find a restaurant so friendly and helpful to make the occasion special nothing to much trouble. Roast dinner was lovely good value wished we lived closer, will definitely visit when back in the area can't wait.

Beautiful sea views, good food too

Friendly welcome to this pub, which is 1 of only 2 if you're at the outer reaches of Hayling Island on foot. Just popped in for a drink, beer was good, and the veiw would have been lovely from the terrace had the weather been nicer. Pay and display municipal car park if needed.

God awful food am sorry got the steak it was so disappointing

Great views but that is where it ends. Felt like in needed a good clean and refurbish

First time visit to Hayling visiting my brother who has moved here, we had Sunday lunch today, what a view just amazing. Shame we had to wait nearly an hour for our roast, luckily it was delicious so worth the wait . Toilets really need some tlc, overflowing bins and quite grubby.

Sorry folks but this is just not good enough ! We came so we could run the dog on the beach and went for lunch. Despite enjoying many meals here this was so disappointing Have you changed all the staff ? Need to do a lot better.

We had a lovely dinner on Friday night! Amazing location, great food (the steak and wine deal was excellent - perfectly cooked) and brilliant service!! Will definitely be back.

What a wonderful experience, views are amazing, food is very good, friendly atmosphere, will definitely be returning 😀

Roast potatoes were hard not crisp Parsnips were soggy not crispy, belly pork was the toughest piece of meat I have ever had, and crackling I could not even cut,like a piece of leather. A very disappointing meal. We also waited 20 minutes for our sweet so in the end cancelled

My wife and I have lived just a couple of hundred yards from the Inn since 1992 and have been there numerous times. Not surprisingly, we have always wanted it to be an excellent local bar/restaurant on our doorstep. It has changed hands a number of times over the years and it has been fairly good, fairly bad and frequently very indifferent food and service. We had not been for some time and went with no great expectations. The barman (sorry, didn't get his name but impressive tattoo sleeves) was very friendly and welcoming. Our waiter Ben, could not have been more attentive and helpful (give him a pay rise...) The menu is quite limited, just nine main dishes, (so docked a point) but arguably better to do a limited menu very well, rather than offer dozens of options done fairly well. We shared Korean chicken bites as a starter, excellent. I had the classic haddock and chips. About the size of a small whale, the fish was larger than the plate, the batter was perfect, chunky chips (triple cooked?) were just as chunky chips should be. Sadly, I could not finish the whole plate. My wife had the flat iron steak, medium rare, spot on. We thought thst it was a shame that on a perfect evening in early October, in such a setting, the place should have been full, but it was fairly quiet.

Really gone downhill since the pandemic. Doesn't help that the breach is disappearing but still.... Food espec poor. If you can't make calamari you may as well give up

The view was stunning. Could watch the ships going in and out of the solent. Amazing view of the isle of wight. Food was great. I had flat Iron steak with chips and garlic butter with a glass of wine included. (Asked for steak to be cooked medium rare 🤗) Husband and friend had fish and chips. All was absolutely delicious. Barman/waiter was very professional. Downside was car park in process of being done, so many potholes, but we got our parking taken off the final bill. So for drinks before and meal total bill came to £69.30 for th 3 of us. Bargain. Wel! Done inn on the beach. And will recommend. Thank you

I visit with a young person who has autism and complex needs. The staff are always accommodating. He is free to be himself and safe napping in the window and even offered pillows to keep him comfy. Thank you so much for being a safe place for us. Blooming delicious chips too!

Very disappointing Sunday lunch. Waited 50 minutes for main course. Pork tough and soggy. No crackling as advertised. Potatoes probably cooked 2 days ago and reheated. Yorkshire pudding was just a large crunch. Desert never arrived and we left after 40 minutes.

Absolutely wonderful location! Would definitely only recommend having a drink. We were given a menu, and saw they were doing a roast dinner, and decided to go for this option. I had the vegetarian and husband had the pork. There was also a side option 3 for £12, which included cauliflower cheese, stuffing, and pigs in blankets. So we decided to get that as well. Waited an hour for probably the worst roast dinner I have ever had! We had already heard the waiter apologise for the slow service on the table behind us, and was debating going. I think the waiter could tell we eventually had enough, as he apologised and said they were plating it up. He said it was due to a large group. There was a large group, but the place was not full at all, so I was unsure why this would affect making the food, and it was not my problem at all. We waited as they said they said they were bringing it out, but I wish we had left before it arrived. We had waited an hour, so I was just happy something arrived, and the word I would describe it as was edible. Good job, we had the sides, as it wasn't very big. There was no flavour what's so ever. The roast potatoes were diabolical, as if they had been frozen and reheated. Minimal vegetables, and this Wellington thing, not really sure what was going on. Our sides, one of the worst cauliflower cheeses I've had, I mean how can you muck up cauliflower cheese? Stuffing wasn't even cooked properly and fell apart. Husband said pork was so dry and chewy. Didn't even give him a proper knife to cut it. Left the Yorkshire pudding as it was oily. Pigs in blankets were big sausages, but he said it was the best out of a bad bunch. No one asked us how our food was during or asked us if we needed any sauces, which might have made it taste better. We should of left, but after an hour, we just wanted to eat it, as already waisted an hour and carry on with our day. Waited with a card in my hand, waiting for someone to clear our plates and ask for the bill. But ended up having to get up and ask for the bill. The girl asked how the food was, and we said it was ok, you could tell we was not happy, but she did not ask further. Will not be returning for food ever again. A drink at the very most as a fantastic location. The paying for parking to is crazy, thank god we put 2 hours on. I actually don't know how you can not get one single aspect of a roast dinner correct? Like there was not a single bit of flavour, just bland. After waiting an hour we was expecting something great, and we got edible. Maybe a cookbook for roast dinners before Christmas arrives.

It's been some years since I have visited Inn on the Beach, although I am a frequent visitor to the island. We normally stay at an hotel there. This time though we were in our own time and so a visit. It's was quiet, 24th September but the member of staff was just as attentive as the staff had been in my earlier days there. The meals were excellent. Both my haddock and chips, and my partners king prawns were cooked and presented beautifully. Sadly it may be a while before we return but I suspect the standard will still be just as high. Beautiful views down the beach the restaurant lives up to its name.

As the name of the venue declares this pub and restaurant sits directly on the West Beach, south side of Hayling Island, overlooking the Isle of Wight and whatever comes next across the Atlantic, heading south. Great location. Parking, is controlled by the local Council and is basically Pay and Display. Once inside (or outside on the spacious decking), the bar is well stocked. The Fish and Chips, on this visit, was huge and delicious. The table service was youthfully enthusiastic, polite and friendly. It was perfect for a pub lunch whilst visiting the Portsmouth area

We called in here just for hot chocolates and a Guiness. Lovely atmosphere and although an overcast day it was lovely overlooking the water. Can imagine on a Sunday day it would be amazing.

Wow what a gorgeous place to eat on a warm and sunny September day. We came for lunch yesterday and sat outside on the upper deck with our dog. We had the haddock and chips and a couple of beers and a rose wine. Thoroughly enjoyed the meal and peaceful location

Very nice place with a good view, very friendly staff and a big food and drinks variety Highly recommended

I am afraid my experience was rather different from the general opinion expressed here. I have lunched here twice and enjoyed the food on both occasions (most recently dressed crab, a tasty salad with apples, excellent skin on fries and a good chocolate sundae for dessert). However the room where I was seated was shabby and not overly clean and the service on my latest visit painfully slow for no apparent reason. (The staff though were pleasant to deal with). The family group on an adjacent table left most of their food and refused to pay the bill. I like the view from the restaurant photographs of which are on this site.

Lovely food, cheerful staff and lovely atmosphere

Sat outside on the platform over looking the beach. Weather was a big plus as it was very sunny and not too windy. Had a great time drinking a couple of pints with a mate whilst watching the world go by. Of particular interest was watching the beach renovation work being carried out down the beach by these huge construction trucks making safe the shingle beach by adding even more shingle.
