Pebbles Fish & Wine Bar in Gosport

My wife and I leave the kids at home and enjoy some us time in a lovely, welcoming atmosphere. The menu is wide, offering great seafood alongside other options. Always cooked beautifully and fresh to order. The seafood - especially - is always just right, with just the right coatings. Portion sizes are great and always served hot. I would recommend this restaurant to everyone, five stars and more.

Haven't been here for a while, and it was great! The food came out quick and was delicious! The food portion was large! Highly recommend!

Food is a bit processed shame as this location could be a goldmine. Where’s your scallops moules etc no sauce on the seabass just too many potatoes. Mediocre was our opinion.

Very nice place where you eat well 🤩

Such ashame , the food is high quality however I asked if the chips were from fresh and they were, however I was given them double dunked from someone's previous order and they were very dry. Lazy.

Great location, good food although small portions/small plates, staff are great in the week, a bit pricey too.....but a good experience. I cannot comment on the Fish Bar adjoining it. Come forward til today 6th October 2024, came here for a late breakfast by 11:30 (breakfast is served til 12) and told "stopped doing breakfasts as there is a backlog." Breakfast menus were still on the table!!! Sorry but that isn't good enough...miffed. Lunch was good though.

Visited a couple of times this year when visiting our friends in Alverstoke. The food and drink are reasonably priced, large portions and of a good standard. Lovely atmosphere where the staff are very welcoming and attentative. One lady in particular takes the time and trouble after her shift to speak whilst remembering us and our Rescue Yorkies. Each time she shows Holly and Ivy (The Dogs) a lot attention and spoils them with treats. Looking forward to our next visit and thank you.

My wife and I love this place. The food is great, as is the atmosphere and service. I can thoroughly recommend at least umpteen visits.

Nice food, lovely staff but really lacking in atmosphere, feels like sitting in a canteen.

Popped in for dinner here when visiting family and couldn't recommend it more. The food was delicious (I had fish and chips) and the portion sizes were huge - every table took home doggie bags. For pudding, we shared the cheesecake which was tasty too!

Recently visited on a busy Saturday evening, food was amazing especially the scallops! Whilst locking my bike up I lost my wallet which had a substantial amount of cash in, massive thanks to Chris who managed to find my details inside and reunite me with the wallet. All In all amazing food….service and honesty. Have sent Chris a little thank you in the post .

A decent meal, which was obviously freshly cooked. Beautiful location with lots of space indoors and outside. We had the burgers, but the fish dishes being served to others looked amazing. Definitely coming back

The kitchen needs improvements whoever made a chips did not check the oil you could taste old oil

A great place for lunch or coffee and cake. It has great views of the Solent and ice to the IOW

It was busy but we got an earlier 6:30 pm booking, since someone had cancelled. We had a lovely position by the window overlooking Stokes Bay, towards Ryde, IOW and all the cruise ships and ferries along The Solent. My panko breaded calamari were lovely as a starter, with a generous side salad. For my main, I ordered the Smokie (smoked haddock, salmon, prawns under a dill mash). It's presented in a pie dish and was still sizzling. Really tasty. There was a huge pile of chips and I couldn't eat them all. The large salad was the same as in the starter and without any dressing. Please offer steamed seasonal vegetables as an option. We didn't have pudding or coffee as we were all so full. Overall a lovely meal, staff pleasant and timely with dishes and the bill.

We had a family get together, first time at Pebbles, the food was excellent, the portions huge and the service was perfect

Lovely little place with very kind staff and delicious food. Tried the smokie with chips, definitely worth trying out that place.

Nice place to grab some food on the sea front. All of our meals were great. 👍

Lovely place to sit and watch the world walk by. Outside dog friendly area and a busy place at certain times of the day. I'd recommend visiting here 😁

First time at this restaurant and our first experience of swordfish. Absolutely lovely. Nice dessert also. Great place on a warm sunny day at an outside table. Will definitely go again. Recommend.

I ate here for an evening meal to celebrate a big birthday. I had the calamari for starter which was great, and the swordfish for main which was also very good. Dessert was the raspberry and chocolate truffle, also delicious! Sadly this wasn't my first choice for the dessert, as the cheesecake and the frangipani were unavailable. I did get a little order envy at the fish and chips, it looked epic, but I think the swordfish I had was probably the right choice for me in the end. Service was prompt and friendly, despite being a busy Friday evening and the location on the seafront is fantastic with a large car park next door.

Superb location, my Coronation Chicken sandwich, salad and coleslaw was yummy but would have preferred unsliced bread, my husband's burger was 'ok'. However, as ever, we will be back.

Pebbles cafe. Poor food, dirty tables. The only positive thing is a view.

It is a lovely little restaurant by the sea, nice girls serving and is very clean. I've had the swordfish steak twice, the first time it was a good size but last night it was half that. Both times there were too many potatoes and not enough vegetables. This was the same for our friends who had the smokie (very tasty), too many chips, not enough veg. Not the right ratio for the price paid £80.

Great anniversary meal at lunchtime. Menu has choices even for people watching the calories.

The location is great, but the food is pretty standard, tables and cutlery a bit tired. Website makes it look a lot nicer than it is. With a bit of love and investment, this place could be amazing.

Excellent food, Very large portions

Great food and very friendly staff.

Gorgeous location, food and service were also lovely! Thank you so much!

Right by the beach just like being on holiday on a sunny day! Great choice of food and drink. Sit inside or out,.

Awesome food friendly staff. Lovely place to dine

Lovely place on the seafront opposite.the Isle of Wight. Plenty to watch especially Cows week.

Lovely beachfront cafe with a decent menu , I had a sandwich which was great. Prices are standard for location , the view on a clear day is fantastic, worth that little bit extra.

Great food, friendly staff, fabulous location, lovely view. Dog friendly outside.

Fabulous Sunday Lunch at Pebbles, we'll definitely go back.

My wife and I Dropped in with our grand daughter. Lovely cafe

Absolutely fantastic meal and excellent value for money.

Really great place. Really dirty outside however the glass needs cleaning and around the table areas there was rubbish dirt and cobwebs.

We have heard about Pebbles from some friends, we have just had a delicious meal outside. The service is impeccable and the food is spot on. We will be back soon. 5 stars from me.

Lovely food here, been many times and each time was great

Booked a table outside, food was good, generous portions. The outside area needed a good clean however, the glass was dirty, under the tables were dirty and littered. The table itself needed a good clean. There was no dressing on the salad, needed to ask for some. King prawn ginger, lemongrass and coriander was disappointing as no fresh ingredients used. The chips tasted old and we left them, even though I only had a starter for a main so left a bit hungry.

Food was outstanding really nice, generous portion sizes, lovely location, the staff were really friendly and the service was really quick, looking forward to going back

Excellent night out with our friends

Celebrated for a 40th birthday. The food was excellent and presentation mouth watering .Food arrived all at once for the 8 people and was piping hot.Staff were friendly and helpful and respectful. Will definitely be going back! ❤

Beer batter fish was tasteless and very oily. A very average experience.

A fan of fresh local Seafood around the world I was excited that this restaurant was close to where we were staying. The photos on Google and on Instagram suggested a great connection with seasonality. You take a lovely walk down the seafront and can sit with views of local wind foilers. Now having seen exciting Lobster and Scallops on their gram in 2020 I was worried their menu seemed to have quite safe options I can get from my fishmonger 2 minutes from my house. When I asked the staff about this they seemed to have lost confidence in being able to sell items they feel they couldn't get a mark up on. These assumptions won't help to be honest as it's what's local and fresh that people want and I'm sure lots of data would support this. Nevertheless I ordered the fresh dressed crab which was lovely but as usual well priced. The dishes all look amazing just wish the variety was a bit braver. The dessert a créme brûlée flavoured ice-cream was ok, as was a raspberry chocolate sculpture but deserts are the icing on the cake. Hope to see Lobster back on the menu next visit!

Excellent location and service. Food was very good, freshly cooked and served together. Very good value for money.

Meh. Panini's were kinda smaller than what I was expecting. Bit of a wait for them as they were a bit overwhelmed on Bank Holiday Monday.

Total joke,order 2 sausage babes and the sausages were so small it looked ridiculous! Total rip off!!

The perfect location on the beach front for dining

Bacon, brie and cranberry panini was very nice. Served with a bit of coleslaw, salad and crisps.

Lovelynlunch at Pebbles restaurant overlooking the Solent at Stokes Bay. Very good portions of food and good value. Good wine list.Staff friendly and professional but not intrusive. We had a friend with us who was recovering from a stroke. Sadly the portions were too big for his now poor appetite but he really enjoyed it & loved being able to sit by the window enjoying the view of the sea. We suggested to the Manager that they have some smaller portions for people with small appetites. It's a great place though. Lots of outside seating too. Would recommend booking & it closes at 3pm.

Not too good this visit. Had to ask to order drinks, then ask again to order food. Presentation pretty poor, food not really hot but warm and one of our party had very under cooked chips .... Still raw in the middle... Disappointed

Brilliant outside eating area

Lovely little cafe, staff helpful and polite. Food arrived promptly by a cheerful young man. Highly recommend

We had our first experience at Pebbles and first class service and the food was yummy. Well done to all and will certainly be back for more 👍

Excellent! Credit to everyone in the team at Pebbles! Excellent fresh, generous portion of exquisite food. Smoked haddock fish pie in white wine sauce was delicious, served with tasty chips, home fresh taste. A generous side serving of fresh salad, pea shoots, tasty leaves. My friend had fish & chips. A good selection of soft drinks. Wine selection was generous Thank you to the kind, helpful, accomodating Staff who served us always with a smile & kept the table so clean. Highly recommend this delightful restaurant. Advisable to make a booking, particularly for a table inside. Plenty of outside tables under a sturdy parasol. Jazz in the summer sounds worth trying. Can't wait to return.

Lovely location, lovely staff and the food was delicious and substantial portions. The only disappointment was the very small glass of wine was very expensive. All in all though I definitely would go again.

We visited the pebbles cafe. It was dark even with the sun shining. It was chaotic with little room to move and a bottleneck at the one serving hatch. We were charged £17 for x2 tasteless, dried out ham and cheese sandwich with next to no filling. It was unappetising and we left both uneaten. It was also missold as the menue says gammon. When we gave feedback we were offered an apology but no compensation. Hot food options looked better. Hot chocolate was tasty and large.

nice location, good food, very expensive place taking in consideration that is just a very simple beach restaurant , but there are no many options in this area...

Great seaside restaurant.fair prices,great food and large portions

Amazing day. Huge food portions. To be honest too big. The food was amazing, great location and service was brilliant. Thank you for a great afternoon. Highly recommended

Very nice beach restaurant with great service. The food was very tasty.

Love their ice creams, we always get them In a tub rather than a cone but they are super yummy, as are there tea cakes and paninis. Customer service can be hit and miss, there are some that have been there a while that are good.

Great place to eat, very friendly staff and food was beautiful, highly recommend

Nice to walk too from the diving museum, good selection of snacks and drinks, with a good choice of other meals. I had coronation chicken sandwich and enjoyed it.

Great food and great value. Will definitely be coming back.

Lovely reliable little bistro overlooking the sea. The food is so well cooked and very generous in portion size. Excellent, friendly service. Best Fish n Chips and Scampi around and there are also other mostly fish dishes. Fresh salads with honey & mustard dressing and homemade coleslaw.

Nice location, food is good, and reasonably priced, plenty of seating available inside and out overall well worth a visit.

Good food efficient service but was really busy . So the atmosphere wasnt as good as it might have been. But would definitely go again.

Right on the sea front - with fabulous views

Great seaside traditional cafe, now dog friendly

5 of us booked for my mum's birthday. Great menu choice although we all went for the Sunday roast. Fantastic braised short rib, a huge plate of food, cooked amazingly and tasted delicious. Great rapport with the staff who were very accommodating. Would definitely recommend.

Omg the food is amazing, and you get massive portions, and all at a good price.

Lovely place by the beach with excellent food and views. The prices are even reasonable as well!!!

Shared a couple of good hot drinks but did not try the food.

Fantastic food with great views of the solent. Simple and effective decor to great a great dining atmosphere. Food is obviously all fresh. You won't regret it.

Very accommodating. Good quality food, slightly pricey

Walked past soo many times but never ventured in . Well I am glad I did , what a lovely little place. Service was fantastic and the food was soo gooood. Will definitely be dropping in again xx Of course a beautiful view 😍

Coffee was mediocre but the location is superb.

Great food Great cocktails, wish they did loaded nachos though

Nice meal,great views but staff a little grumpy.

Outside was littered with rubbish inside was very dirty too. Had to clear a table ourselves to be able to sit down, although the sign says they serve food till 4.30, at 4.15 they refused our food order. Person serving us was uninterested and not friendly. Despite the great location, won't be going again!

Brilliant service, food, atmosphere, service. Having visited a competitor on the same beach, this was a million times better.

Great location, from parking, cafe, restaurant, play park, splash park and the sea. Beach is gravel so make sure to bring some swimming shoes or sandals. Beautiful spot, highly recommended

Bustling place by the coast ,very popular for the mid age individual/s. Very lovely overall. Music is a nice touch on Tuesdays.

Hit and miss with the food. Orzo pasta very bland. Swordfish steak ok. Beerbattered prawns very good. Pork ribs very good. Chips ok. Mackerel scant and dried hard with copious amount of plain salad. Good bottled beers. Wouldn't rush back.

Lovely evening, being looked after by extraordinary staff, some have been there 14 years. Food excellent and for those that need it, in generous proportions. A walk home to Lee at dusk on such a balmy September evening made it even more special.

Awful service. Awful food. Very overpriced.

Lovely evening, always a joy to eat there. Staff so friendly and obliging.

Typical British seaside café. My salad was OK but my elderly mother had a child's portion chicken goujons with chips which were dry (overcooked). The serving hatch is small, allowing just one transaction at a time, causing a lengthy queue. Admittedly we went during school holidays but a 15 minute queue plus the same for the food to be brought to the table is a bit long. The outdoor seating is right next to the promenade and beach though so it's a pleasant spot.

Nice sea side cafe/restaurant. You can get the basics like sandwich and ice cream but also nice meals and dessert. Always a good local atmosphere with lots to look at and enjoy.

Would have been 5 full stars, if there had been some light bites for lunch. Ended up with a mackerel pate starter which was delicious.

Open Times on Google are wrong. Cafe closes at 5pm, Restaurant opens at 5.30pm and doesn't allow dogs inside. Having said that, take out fish and chips was delicious if a bit pricey £17.00 per portion (we shared one in the car).

Awesome restaurant in an awesome location 👌🏽

Great little beach cafe, friendly service. Great allergy friendly sorbet!

Disappointed! Meters from the sea and they are serving up frozen fish that wasn't even cooked properly.. You could do so much better...£17:50 for fish and chips...really!!

Love it here Good is excellent and reasonable priced Great views across the Solent

Had fantastically fresh calamari with goat cheese salad (2 starters for a main course). Sauvignon blanc wine was really good. I was happy. Thank You Pebbles.

We've been here a few times now when visiting The Wife's family. It's a lovely little place that we've often popped to for a coffee or ice-cream but the salad was really nice. It can get busy in there and it doesn't have a toilet but it's well worth the visit.
