Marjorie's Tearooms & Bistro in Portsmouth

Excellent service .good menu too. Plenty of choice. Staff very friendly. Well priced. Becoming a regular lunchtime venue.

Very over priced for what you get! Definitely not the quality produce that is claimed on the menu nice surroundings but that is as far as it goes here i will not return i recommended darcys down the street

Nice little tearoom. Foods ok but a little expensive for what you get. Friendly staff wait at ur table. It may be a little tricky getting in the tearoom for people with walking difficulties because of a ramp placed at the door for wheelchairs ( presumably). But a pleasant place to catch up with friends.

What a fantastic find. The food was all home cooked and was delicious. Some tea rooms can be a bit pretentious but that was not the case here. It was so homely and the staff were lovely. Loved all the little knickknacks around the place and the attention to detail. Also, it’s really good that you can book as you can’t with most tea rooms. We attended for the anniversary of our mums funeral and I think it made it extra special because she would have absolutely loved it there. Definitely recommend!!

We have an event in the office and have pre-order a finger buffet menu and the food were excellent and tasty. Everyone in the office thoroughly enjoyed the buffet, so highly recommended for any corporate function event.

We went to Marjories in Portchester. A mushroom omelette was excellent. A scone was greyish, and looked/ tasted like / consistency of - perhaps a suet dumpling. I had one mouthful and left the rest. A shame, because ambience and staff ok. We then walked down to the Castle, and had a really excellent scone at the church tea room there.

Today 21 Sept my wife and I ate lunch at Marjorie’s, the service was very friendly, the food was very good and value for money. The original 50’s and 60’ s music in the back ground was fantastic. We will visit their cafe in Portchester as it is close to home. RECOMMENDED.

Today we had a lovely relaxing lunch for 4 generations of our family. The food was delicious with good quality ingredients which we all enjoyed. Most importantly the service was great with lovely cheerful staff, we loved it.

We stopped off today for some lunch. My husband had one of the daily specials - liver and mash, which he really enjoyed and even finished off the gravy with a spoon. I had a jacket potato with prawns and this also was very tasty. Everything had been put in place to be covid friendly and we felt very sorry for them when the news came through that Portsmouth had been put into Tier3.

Superb cafe / bistro in the heart of Cosham. Lovely place to meet friends for coffee and a chat also great tasty snacks. Wonderful and helpful, friendly staff, where nothing is too much trouble. Pleasant quiet atmosphere. Highly recommended

I have always had a good experience at Marjorie's until my most recent visit, where I was left in utter disbelieve by the treatment I received: I could smell that there was an issue with the cheese on my jacket potato when it was set down in front of me, however, I took a mouthful, and sure enough, it was rancid. I sent it back, only to have, who I assume was the manager or chef, storm out from the kitchen area, demanding what the problem was. I explained the issue, only to be rudely told I was wrong and that it was my problem "because drinking mocha before eating cheese would make it taste funny". She then snapped at me whether I wanted something else, to which I told her I needed a couple of minutes to decide. I decided against having a replacement meal because of the way I'd been spoken to. Upon stating this, the same lady launched into a second round of abuse where I was again accused of being wrong because "they have consistently good ratings and satisfaction from their customers". The experience left me shaken and upset, so my friend and I settled up and left soon after. I'm aware that Marjorie's has good ratings, and I agree that my past experiences (where I haven't had any issues) have been excellent. However, the treatment I received this time round was completely unacceptable: staff need to learn the art of customer service, manners and courtesy instead of being rude, defensive and abusive when a customer has an issue with their food. Even though I'm fully expecting a defensive, untruthful comeback from Marjorie's in response to this review (as evidenced from other low rating reviews on here), I would rather forewarn potential customers, to avoid anyone else experiencing what I did.

Freshly cooked homemade breakfast and pot of tea. Have been several times and always consistently good. Not for the young hip crowd though.

I came here for my 25th birthday. We reserved a table for afternoon tea. The place was pretty and elegant inside. As we arrived the table was already set out for us, looked professional and tasted lovely. Will definitely be coming back.

I organised a baby shower for a friend to be held at Marjorie’s Tea Rooms and we had a lovely afternoon. Communication with Peter before the event took place was easy and Peter was always helpful whenever I had any queries. Everyone was delighted with the food and drink provided and with the crockery and how the tables were presented. The staff were tentative on the day and we had a lovely afternoon. Thank you!

When in Cosham last week on business, we decided to find a cafe for coffee and maybe a cake. As we walked down Wayte Street, we noticed Marjories Tearooms and decided we would return after we had done our shopping. We were delighted by the warm welcome we received and the ambience of the place. When we looked at the menu, we decided to have a full English breakfast. Had it been a little later, we would have had one of the specials on the board for lunch but it was only 11.15. I had the standard English Breakfast and my OH went for the vegetarian option. Whilst we waited for it to arrive, our coffee was served and we sat taking in the atmosphere and listening to the music being played, which was an Everly Brothers CD, who just happen to be my favourite. I started chatting to the owner, telling him that I had only recently been to a tribute to the Everlys at the Kings Theatre Portsmouth. When our breakfasts arrived, we were most impressed by the presentation, and how well cooked everything was- served on a hot plate too, which is always a bonus for me. We will definitely return to Marjories to try their lunch time menu as I am confident we will enjoy the experience.

Excellent food nice staff wonderful music. Really enjoyed going there. Always a warm welcome. I had curry my husband had lamb shank. Yummy.

Wonderful atmosphere and such lovely food. Beautifully decorated. We were very pleasantly surprised to find this little gem of a place.

Had a lovely meal at Marjorie's tea room, calming atmosphere just what you need before Christmas. Cosham you do not know what you are missing. Cannot wait for Asian evening. Thank you

Este es un lugar encantador con mucho carácter. Está decorado de forma muy agradable e interesante junto con la música clásica antigua y discreta que se reproduce en el fondo. El personal es muy amable y el servicio muy bueno. El café es agradable y caliente y hay una selección muy grande de tés incluyendo fresa. La comida es excelente, especialmente los bollos de queso y todo a un precio razonable. Un lugar encantador para sentarse y relajarse después de ir de compras y definitivamente lo recomendaría. Un salón de té típicamente inglés.

We came here for our snack lunch on Tuesday afternoon. The staff were very pleasant and helpful. The food was lovely and so was the hot drinks as well. Could not fault the place. we will surely come back again.

Lovely little tea room Great food with great selection of sandwiches and superb cakes Great service wry friendly Would recommend a visit Will be back again

Excellent service from staff, very friendly. Very good selection of home cooked food all reasonably priced. Highly recommend.

Lovely clean tearoom with friendly proprietor!!

I went here for lunch with a friend for lunch on Tuesday and I thought it was a really nice venue with a great choice of food and very reasonably priced. Very nice staff and very good service. Me and my friend will definitely be coming back to try the delicious looking afternoon tea menu!

Best breakfast I have had in a while would highly recommend. Staff are friendly and willing to go that extra mile . Will definitely be coming back for more .

Great food, Great atmosphere,Great night, Great price. So relaxing, comfortable, enjoyable evening, Big regret never been there before as we live in Cosham. We will be back !

Have used this tea shop a few times to meet with friends for a cuppa. Really disappointed today that one of my friends chose to eat a 'small' snack and was charged £9.95 for a cup of tea and chicken toasty. It was gluten free bread but only 2 small slices. My friend was very taken aback and went back to query the cost to be told that it was because the bread was gluten free and that electricity was extra to make the toasty. Oh dear ..... will have to go elsewhere now. This is too expensive for what it was ... always check the prices before you order because otherwise you may be in for a costly surprise.

Whilst I visit this lovely little tearoom and have done for a while now it is with regret will not be visiting again due to overpricing for a gluten free toastie at £7.20 (had it been not toasted apparantly cheaper due to use of electric!)also charge for soya 50p and is not in line with everywhere else.. Most don't charge now and costa is only 30p..

Me and my other half always come in here for our breakfast the food is delicious always hot and fresh. The atmosphere is very peaceful and the owners are lovely people who will do anything for you. They cater for vegans, vegetarians and offer gluten free choices the best breakfast I’ve ever had

We haven't been to this Bistro for a while due to not being in Cosham that often, but it was nice to see that it hasn't changed, and that the food and service are of the highest standards. I asked for a breakfast not on the menu, which was not an issue and came quickly. As always, we loved the food, and the chat with Peter. We will always be back when in Town. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

This is a quaint little cafe with a delicious menu of lbreakfasts, light lunches and home made cakes. Reasonable prices and friendly efficient service.

We come here every week on our day off together and love it. The atmosphere is great coupled with great service and food. It not flashy , edgy or anything like that. Just a good home cooked meal. Love it. We love the music as well

Had a lovely lunch here today. All freshly cooked and quickly served with a smile. Would definitely return when in the area.

Wife and I popped in for some lunch, what a mistake.

Been here several times now and always enjoyed the experience.

My daughter and I visited Marjorie's yesterday for an impromptu lunch. We were simply delighted with the service, the ambience, menu choice and value for money. The full English breakfast was plentiful and tasty, as was the jacket potato with chilli.

Nice surrounding but over priced. Sofas are always reserved so no chance of getting to sit on them lol

Very friendly and lovely atmosphere. Food is great, they Even serve a gluten free cooked breakfast !!

Fabulous..we had a lovely time here..great choice of food...very friendly and welcoming. Would definitely recommend.

Went to Marjories for the first time. Excellent tea rooms with a great menu and service. The Lemon Drizzle cake was the best we have had! Very interested to try their Afternoon Tea and special evenings.

We went to Majories on a Saturday night in February for an Asian Evening. Pete and his Family did us proud. There were about 25 of us and we had the place to ourselves. We had an Asian buffet. The food was absolutely lovely and we would strongly recommend you try it for yourself.

Very pleases tea rooms. Lots of choice on the menu. My friend who has to have gluten free was very impressed with the choice on offer. Everyone enjoyed there food and the service was nice and friendly.

Marjorie's Tearooms is a classic vintage eatery. The ambience is so relaxed, warm and welcoming.

I love coming here. I work at QA hospital and often come here for a cooked breakfast before my shift. Not only is the breakfast delicious and filling, it's also a peace and tranquil environment before the hussle, bussle and noisy atmosphere of the hospital (that's NOT a critism of that FABULOUS hospital by the way). The staff are friendly and helpful. There is older music playing to take you back in time so you feel you've gone into a different time zone, so you are far away from reality. You are not made to feel rushed in any way either. I'm so pleased this tea room has a good rating, they deserve it.

Hubby and I found this gem in the summer 2016 and we're thrilled we did. It has been many years since we have enjoyed a good cooked breakfast in a setting with so much charm. There are too few of these little cafes around now. The place was cosy and relaxing, the staff were friendly and welcoming and the food was spot on. Thank you guys for the excellent experience.

Another visit to our favourite tearoom and Bistro, to experience the Christmas ambiance and festive food. I enjoyed a fabulous hot chocolate anf festive Christmas baguette, while my husband demolished a mighty 4 egg, cheese and ham omelette, and knickerbockerglory.

Ive visited twice recently: first on a busy Saturday afternoon and secondly midweek lunchtime.

We were recommended to this little gem by a 'friend. . What a find. Delicious freshly prepared food from a vast menu & daily specials on the board. Opens some evenings too. We will be back.

I love Majories. Very welcoming and the food is Great. I have been for Breakfast, lunch and afternoon tea and haven't been disappointed. Give it a try, if only to keep the small businesses going.

My family and I plus friend had a lovely lunch here. The baguettes were huge and freshly made. I was so full I took my freshly made fruit scone home. It is clean, friendly and welcoming and I will be back soon 🤗

We visited Marjorie's to fill up before attending the Victorious Festival. The tearoom is beautifully decorated with china and pastel colours. We had a variety of breakfasts and all the food was well cooked with good portion sizes. Staff were very friendly and polite.

Excellent afternoon tea for all the family for my sisters birthday. The food was great, the staff were fab. Easy to book for 12. The staff work hard and are very helpful. A wonderful place we all enjoy.

Delightful surroundings so unlike some of the other eateries I've tried in Cosham. Cream teas - warm wholemeal sultana scone, generous portions of fruity jam and thick cream with a pot of tea (3 cups) for £4.25. Excellent service. In addition to pretty tables you can relax on shabby chic sofas with low tables too. Daily papers also available on our visit. I'll certainly be back.

Still the best breakfast in town served by very pleasant friendly staff. The menu has been renewed which now means you can have whatever you want for your breakfast/meal. Well worth a visit to this cosy tea room if you fancy home made cakes and food.

Myself and three friends are just back from the 'All You Can Eat' Asian Buffet night at Marjories, and what a lovely evening it was ! The food was delicious and plentiful, the owner is attentive and very helpful when faced with various food allergies, I'm already a regular customer for their tea and delicious cake, but I shall certainly be returning for their evening events in the future !

Fantastic time in this quiet and relaxing café. Tasty breakfast panini and sandwich served in a family run business. Lovely choice of background music - first time here I will return as good value too.

What a hidden gem. Coffee better than Costa.. Decaff according to my partner was delicious.. The scone was full of fruit.. Lovely atmosphere.. And the afternoon tea looks awesome...

Met up with my daughter for breakfast, and as this place had good reviews we thought to give it a go. The breakfast was very nice, but I wouldn't say the best I've ever had. There were things on the set menu that I didn't like, and although when I asked to change the black pudding for another egg it was done, it was pointed out that they don't usually swop items.The staff were friendly, and the service good.

Such a warm, welcoming atmosphere, where the friendly staff wait on you with a smile. The meal chosen off the specials board was minted lamb shank. The meat was so tender it just fell off the bone, the vegetables were done to perfection and it was topped off with a delicious minty gravy. The mango cheesecake we had for dessert was the best I've had anywhere, so fresh, light and delicious. This establishment also makes the best hot chocolate ever, always made the same delicious way. We had a throughly enjoyable experience all round.

We haven't been to Marjories for a few weeks but we were still greeted with a warm friendly smile from the owner. The word has obviously got around as we were lucky to get the last table available. They have changed the sausage supplier and they are to die for, and a a lot healthier, which can only be a good thing. The breakfast is stunning, and plenty of it, with a nice pot of tea to wash it down. I cannot recommend this place highly enough and it is at the top of our list when we want to go out for breakfast, or a snack.

We are starting to become regulars at this lovely Tearoom as the breakfast is second to none which keeps dragging us back. A lovely pot of tea is a nice change for us which we always enjoy. The breakfast is such good value for money and sets up your day nicely. The owner, and his family are so genuine and welcoming and are always very pleasant to talk to. Great value for money and the best in town in our opinion and definitely worth a visit if you are in Cosham.

We visited this cafe on route to the QA hospital as it looked a pleasant and quiet place away from the high street. We ordered 'Home roasted' chicken and cranberry sandwiches. When they arrived the chicken was cut in regular sized cubes and was lukewarm. We asked if it was freshly cooked or had been heated. The manager came over and assured us he had roasted it that morning and the waitress had reheated it. Knowing the dangers of chicken that has not been reheated to 75 degrees C we asked if we could have the chicken cold. 'Fresh' sandwiches were brought but the cubed chicken was wet and soggy and had obviously just been defrosted. I do not believe the chicken had been roasted onsite as it too closely resembled the frozen cubed chicken bought from food wholesalers. As my three daughters work in food service I know a bit about this subject. We stashed the sandwiches in a bag, to be binned, paid and left. We won't be back.

Popped in for lunch to treat the kids at half term. Small menu but very well presented, tasty and fresh. The staff were attentive and helpful even when my son decided he wanted what his sister ordered when it arrived!

Ever since Charlie's shut down in Drayton, we have been looking for another decent Cafe so that we could have the occasional breakfast. We have found it in Marjories. What a lovely, clean and well run establishment with the food being of the highest quality, and lots of it.. Nice pot of tea with every breakfast and free papers to read if you so wish. My only possible complaint would be that I question the real nationality of the HP sauce as it didn't taste like the real thing. We will definitely be back for some more of the same.

Wow this place is amazing and certainly lives up to the reviews. I booked afternoon for my mum's 70th birthday I did book this the night before (very last minute) as had somewhere else in mind but when I read the reviews on this place I knew we couldn't go wrong. I found Peters (the owner) mobile number on here and sent a text asking if we could book table for 4. When I mentioned it was special occasion he offered the afternoon high tea (I did think you could turn up at anytime for afternoon tea but this must be booked). The table layout was absolutely beautiful as was the sandwiches (huge choice of fillings) lovely homemade scones fruit sewers other pastries...gorgeous! The coffee is AMAZING I love my coffee and no a good cup, wow must say best coffee I have had in a very long time. My mum was thrilled with her time at marjorie's and I cannot praise peter high enough very helpful indeed and great communicator. Thanks again for a great experience.

Lovely afternoon tea !!! Big filling sandwiches !! Lovely new bread scones to die for !! Had to take home the fruit kebabs was so full all in all a lovely birthday treat for my two friends . Thank you

Had a great time. We were warmly welcomed and attended well. Food was excellent too and more than enough

It was our first time to experience an afternoon high tea! We had a lovely time in this cosy, vintage tea room. We even took loads of pictures upon arrival! The owner was friendly and accommodating though. The food was more than enough for all of us (the owner gladly gave us some containers for takeaway!) It was beautifully presented, and it tasted really good at an affordable price. The bride-to-be's dream of having a tea party came true and we all went home with tummies full and fun-filled memories!

Food, Service, Staff, Ambiance, and Location definitely deserves five stars. :) love it. My friends actually had to stop and think other things to talk about because all we talked about was just how good the food was and how cute the place is.

The owner was very accommodating and the vintage feel of the place is spot-on.Absolutely a place to go for an English cuppa tea experience.

We had a couple of English Breakfasts here which were very tasty and pleasantly served. Sit at tables rather than sofa if dinning otherwise you're likely to get beans on your shirt. Friendly service and freshly cooked.

Have been twice now for lunch and was very impressed, lovely sandwiches with a good side salad and crisps, huge selection of drinks and very well priced. Took a slice of lemon drizzle cake away and it was delicious. Highly recommend it.

this was a gift from one of our daughters and son-in-iaw for high tea,i would recommend any one to go and try this,it was so lovely ,nothing was to much trouble and the food was execellent so was the staff table was laid to perfection would definetly go back in fact i am going with a friend next week.,

Lovely clean surroundings fantastic host, food is brilliant Coffee is very good. Thoroughly recommend a visit. .

Just off the High Street we thought we would give it a go. It has a lovely relaxed atmosphere and the food was better than expected. If I could recommend one thing it would be to improve the photography of your dishes!!

My Nan & Grandad hired Marjories Tea Room to host their Diamond Wedding Anniversary. It was closed to the public so we had the place to ourselves. The atmosphere and background music was perfect for the occasion. I think it was the owners who were working the night we went and we couldn't fault them, they were really friendly and helpful, they made milkshakes for the kids (and the adults!!!) made tea & coffee and also served alcohol, nothing was too much trouble. The food was really fresh and tasted great. For a private function, great tasting food & friendly people would definitely reccomend Majories Tea Room.

Today i met up with friends and visited Marjorie's for my first time.We were welcomed to our table by a lovely waitress and after choosing our breakfast we had a nice pot of tea.,in a proper tea pot!The food had been freshly cooked for us and tasted delish.The staff were friendly and attentive.It is a pleasure to have a nice eating place here in Cosham,and hope the trade continues to grow,as they deserve it..

This has become my regular lunch stop because I can guarantee a freshly made sandwich which is fresh and delicious. Nice to have somewhere to go in Cosham.

I have visited here many times, for breakfast and lunch. The food is delicious and the service is impeccable. All freshly cooked and served to your table with a smile. I cannot wait for them to open in the evenings, which I have been told will be in March. So lovely to visit a restaurant that is so clean, beautiful food and presented so well. They are a great addition to Cosham!
