This is our go to when we come to Southsea to go to the Kings Theatre. Located handily just accross the road, its friendly, the food is good, the quality is good and the pricing cheap. Next time we are at the Kings we will return.

Eaten in before and been really impressed but really disappointed tonight. Ordered 2 veggie burritos. Didn’t want to eat beyond two monthfuls. Both have ended up in the bin.

Seen them posting on Instagram and it looked awesome. Right up my street. Decided to go for our anniversary and try something different. It was a Sunday when they opened. Nice and quiet. Clean and comfortable. The menu is small, but there is enough to mix and match. Nice selection of drinks and all reasonable priced. When the food came, we were shocked! The portions are huge! We shared a pulled pork burrito and chicken nachos. We were stuffed. Each dish was packed full of flavour. Made with fresh ingredients and you can taste it isn't corporate packet stuff. 10/10. Highly recommend and are planning on returning with friends.

I am absolutely disgusted with the service in this place. We were 8 of us for a birthday night and one young skinny with long black hair waitress asked us to move to a table that was smaller than the one we were already. When she said "Do you mind to change table?" Well, I didn't but when I saw the table we were being change to, I then said to her, "Actually, yes, I do mind. They're 8 of us and the table is too small for all of us" She then gave me the "look". Me and others were not happy the move but we still did so. At this point, I then saw, the waitress and other staff in the kitchen looking at me through the window so I went to see them and was going to ask if we could be change back as there was not enough room for all of us and before I could say that, the other staff said to me turn around, walk away. I was absolutely gobsmacked. I went back to my friends and before you know it. The 2 doormen came to our table and told me that I made their staff uncomfortable and that I needed to leave????? We all left disgusted and went somewhere else to carry on our birthday party. This place is unbelievable, no respect for customers that questions their actions. I will never go there again.

Came in with a group of friends for a couple drinks and asked for a cocktail which was denied by the ginger "strawberry blonde" bartender with no explanation yet other people were able to get rums and vodka with no trouble. One of my party also then heard him state that he didn't look like a guy who made cocktails to other patrons. Once sat down we found a used Mayo bucket which had mold covering the bottom of it. Would not recommend this pub.

Popped into Porters for some food before the show at the theatre across the road. Ordered e burgers and chips Nachos and a veggie option. Burgers were under cooked so were sent back. The replacement Burgers came out overcooked and like an old boot. Nachos were tasteless Veggie option ok but not worth the money. Will not be returning for food.

Booked for Sunday evening 7pm told sold out of pretty much everything so went to the excellent Indian Haldi instead, either improve your supply chain (it’s Sunday you know on average how many dishes you sell) or inform me before I arrive you can’t cover most of the Sunday menu

Dog friendly! Plenty of choice on the menu, tacos, burritos, quesadilla, nachos and burgers. Me and my partner went for the tacos. We ordered one portion of the buffalo cauliflower tacos and one of the buttermilk halloumi tacos with a side of chips. Our friend had the burrito bowl. Everything was delicious and came out quickly.

The food wasn't great here. The chips were barely edible. Very greasy. I told the server but he wasn't bothered. The pepsi/coke tasted weird too.

Honestly I'm not trying to be cruel but it was not only expensive ( so I was expecting more) but it was in-edible. Had the chicken burger and chips. Can't be to bad right? The chips were so caked in old grease you could not eat them but on top of that they literally came out black and brown!!! How even the waiter didn't notice is beyond me. The burger I tried to eat, but it was so greasy I had to leave it. I have never seen anything like it. Honestly disgusting. My partner had the cauliflower taco.... She has felt unbelievable sick since. 25may 2023 at 4pm whoever the chef working was, for the love of god fire him. I wouldn't want someone to loose a job but this is taking the piss. He couldn't cook a microwave meal. Truly disgusting. If it wasn't so absurd that it made me laugh I would have got angry. Don't waste your money untill they fix the cook with a swamp of a fryer. Your health will thank you. Good luck to the owner I hope you can pull it around. Internal sabotage with awful employes. Waiter seemed nice.

I visit often and the food is consistently good. The portion sizes are large and everything tastes fresh and always looks well presented. There is always a good selection of vegan options to choose from. I do think Porters would benefit from a slight refreshment of decor as it is looking a little tired. The toilets weren't the most clean on my recent visit.

Overall very nice service. Also a very cozy atmosphere if it hadn't been so cold. My two companions liked the food, but I didn't like it at all. The fries would have been pretty good on their own if they hadn't been drowned in grease. Unfortunately the burger was a complete failure. Boring bun, very few vegetables and the worst patty I've ever eaten. And I've eaten lots and lots of burgers. Extremely dry, far too small in relation to the patty and seasoned very hard to get used to. If I were in the city any longer, I would definitely give the pub another chance!
