Mike's Kitchen in Havant

Hi all, we had an auction at the hayling mens shed today, and for a spot of lunch we went to Mike's kitchen hayling island, what a lovely meal we had, it was absolutely delicious can't complain about nothing, the food was excellent the service was brilliant we all enjoyed it, we're going back just before Christmas to have our yearly nosh up and me personally can't wait, thank you to all at Mike's kitchen.

I love a good breakfast and Mike's Kitchen did not disappoint. Went with the full English and a coffee. The Full English was amazing. The absolute quality of ingredients was enough to make it a winner. But add to that all the special little touches like Stokes Sauce taking it that extra little step to make it special. On top of that the Lady that took our order was warm & welcoming and stayed for a chat which was extra nice as they were busy for coffees & cake (not surprisingly as the cakes on display looked very, very tempting 🍰) A really nice (and very clean) inside and outside area was available (loo's were also very clean) Don't miss up the opportunity to go here. I wish I was in the area long enough to go for lunch as their specials looked very enticing. If I am back in the area I will be sure to return and can 100% recommend.

Great food. An unexpected find by the beach. We stopped by the town centre after a visit to the beach and chose to eat here. There were seats outside, while there were also plenty of seats inside and another patio to the back. Decorations were cute and we had some steak, eggs and chips, a lasagna and Frito Misto. What a nice selection. The calamari were deliciously tender. Will definitely try to come back next time we're visiting!

Wednesday 5th June 2024: Met with friends, enjoyable coffee and sausage rolls. Wonderfully attentive staff. Friday 8th March 2024: Today, i had the chilli con carne, rice and chips, and the obligatory black coffees. Bloody marvellous. Great nosh, very attentive staff. Thursday 22nd February 2024: Awesome FEB (see photo), great ambience, great food, and the perfect meeting place.

Ordered 15 cakes and they were to die for, good size portion and really good value. All homemade and delicious. Highly Recommend

Nice friendly staff, lovely food, clean and tidy cafe. Fancy tomato sauce and a gingerbread man with our coffee! Seats available inside and out. Loved it here, will definitely return.

First time of visiting bit will not be our last. The welcome we had was very friendly as was the service. Our breakfast was very tasty and great value for money. We would highly recommend Mike's Kitchen.

Ate here 10 minutes ago . Great breakfast !

Really lovely, friendly cafe, always greeted with a warm welcome.

Good quality ingredients made for nice meals and friendly service

What a wonderful place! Such friendly people & great food. We were with our puppy and were made so welcome. Thank you for a lovely lunch. X

Lovely atmosphere, sat outside.

Lovely cafe! Fresh sausages from the butchers and a great breakfast. Really clean, servers and owners are lovely and reasonable price as well. Definitely returning next time.

I live on Hayling and most shops and restaurants are friendly and helpful. Saturday evening my partner and myself popped out to the local shops. My partner is 8 months pregnant. We were just about to go home when she suddenly needed the toilet, being heavily pregnant these things tend to happen unexpectedly. My partner went into Mike's Kitchen to see if she could use the toilet, most places are nice and let you use them without any problems. The guy who was front of house was rude and told her no at the beginning, very loudly in front of everyone eating, making her feel embarrassed. She explained she was pregnant and urgently needed to wee, to which he begrudgingly let her use the toilet. I understand we were not using the restaurant but at least be kind and helpful and polite! This has reinforced that as a local I will not be using the place ever.

Was nice but felt like to lave C s it felt like a cosy club and not welcome

Excellent service , extremely friendly staff and lovely latte

New name - Mike's Café Excellent fruit cake and Belgium bun.

Beautiful quality food and great service always

Delicious coffee and toasted tea cakes.

3 of us had breakfast at Mike's Kitchen yesterday. It was amazing. We will definitely be going back!

Lovely food, great menu, dog friendly & a very pleasant Island central town. Staff are wonderful too Please note: This is now trading as Mikes Kitchen, same people & same tasty & quality food

Lovely place with fiendly staff. Had a beautiful cream tea with a yummy scone for under five quid. Definitely recommend this cute cafe!

We stopped at Mike's last night for a meal and so pleased we did. We had the Rib Eye and it was perfect. So so tasty. We asked for it to be cooked 'dairy free' and Mike was only too pleased to do so, and even made the effort to come to our table to offer a home made dressing made with Prawn and White Wine to complement the Steak. It was lovely. I can not recommend this place enough, great food, great atmosphere, great staff, great service.

Really fantastic food as per usual from Mike, & wonderful friendly service from Tonya - thoroughly recommend!

had amazing meals tonight...wonderful hosts..definatly recommend perfect evening thanks guys...karen , freddie & mum x

Fantastic lunch, lasagne superb. Wife said her scampi was perfect. Very clean and nice friendly people. Worth the walk from Fishery creek. A big thanks after disappointment elsewhere. Cappuccino awesome

Lovely friendly couple and the food is great 👍

Really lovely bacon sarnie & latte sat in the sunshine. Would defo visit again.

Excellent substantial meal. Good company, sexy hosts.

Amazing food from amazing chef and team. On arrival we were made so welcome, there was a set menu on the board but the chef catered for our fussy little ones. They also happily catered for our friends who are vegan, also myself who cannot have wheat. Our food was beautiful, full of flavour and cooked to perfection. I would recommend anyone to visit Chives, but do book in advance as they are very popular. We will be going again next year, without a doubt. Such great hospitality.

Happy to go there. Great attention given to patrons and their dogs. Dogs are allowed to be inside, and there is a pleasant outside area as well.

We had to hunt this bar/restaurant down as we used to visit the Olive Leaf years ago and found out Mike and Tonya moved here. Superb welcome after 3 years away, very accommodating and food was awesome. Back next year!!

Great breakfast not tried any other yet

Mike's Kitchen is the place to go for a quiet tipple and superb food You won't find a better chef on Hayling. very friendly and welcoming. With a small patio garden and seating out front for the good weather.

Fabulous food, can't fault it, staff and owners superb 10/10

By far the most friendliest place on hayling island! As well as fresh tasty quality good food, we'd definitely recommend stopping here for a meal or two

Highly recommend this place. Staff really friendly and helpful food fantastic

Go here nearly every day they always go out of their way to be helpful and will change any meal if they can and have even cooked things not on the menu. Always happy. Friendly and helpful. I can recommend the evening menu had the fish pie last week it was delicious.

Been many times. But went today late may 2019 and wasn't over impressed. My daughter got full English breakfast and the sausage was very dry and not very nice !

Really good quality food at good prices. Very friendly staff. Well worth the visit.

We always have a great meal here. We are Made very welcome. Lovely food

A very nice Restaurant with a varied menu, very good service, cooked to order. Excellent.

chives is a friendly place good food at reasonable prices they acco.odate a service whist is flexible

Fuss free, good quality, straightforward food. Served by friendly, helpful and enthusiastic folk. Lovely.

Well recommended ! Had a lovely breakfast in Chives this morning. Very friendly and helpful staff.

Lovely food ,great staff ,a friendly crew ,must have the breakfast 10 out of 10

Friendly and efficient service. Very good atmosphere. I like the personal touch with service.

Best bacon sandwich on the island

The place is nice and clean but the food was not worth the price. Maybe I ordered the worse one from the menu but even all of the others that were looking good the taste does not match the appearance. My pancakes were dry but not as much as the bacon. Chewing a pice of leather would have been even more tasty. The maple syrup was the worse I ever tried. And I can promise I tried quite a few. My partner ordered full english breakfast but requested to have it without mushrooms and tomatoes and asked if he could have something extra instead. They said he would have to pay for it! At least then the price should be reduced as he’s not eating “full” english. Was tasteless and not cooked propelry. I had a look at the other orders from other people in the cafe and I could see everyone was not finishing everything. My worse £20 spent ever.

Lovely food and very nice staff

Very pleasant social place with good variety of food

Visited Chives and chose from the Lazy Brunch Menu Large portions and good prices The best scrambled eggs ever Staff was efficient and thoughtful Will revisit soon

Excellent food and reasonably priced. Would highly recommend.

Nice experience very friendly. And the food is very nice 🙂

Went here this morning because we fancied a good English breakfast. Had already been recommended and truly lived up to expectations. The food was prompt and well cooked and beautifully presented. The hot chocolate I ordered came with more than sufficient marshmallows and whipped cream making it well worth the £2.50 it costs. The staff was lovely as well

Great for just a coffee or for lunch. Full English breakfast is well cooked and tasty. If you're in Mengham and need a bite to eat, give it a try.

Staff really friendly. Great cooked breakfast at affordable price. Also fantastic range of coffees. I mean where else can you get a brandy latte?

Wasn't at Chives today - walked past! This phone rating is getting silly.

Beefy runs a lovely sound cafe/bistro great coffee lovely homemade food all served with a smile. 10/10

Lovely meal always great welcome and service .
