We were staying in the Premier Inn next door after our journey to Portsmouth by ferry from Spain. Got ourselves booked into the hotel and went to Sovereigns The restaurant stopped serving meal at 9 so we couldn’t eat there. What we saw from others t food was excellent Michael was in the bar and Anita was putting up the Christmas decorations. Very festive. Went for breakfast this morning and couldn’t fault. Hubby had full English the plate was overflowing. I got a bacon sandwich which I had pined for 7 weeks whilst in Spain. Again staff were very attentive. All in all a big thumbs up from both of us.

Lovely evening. Came here with the family for dinner and had a great experience. As soon as we walked in the door the staff welcomed us. Michael the barman and Anita the waitress were extremely friendly and helpful. Food came out all together, was fresh, hot and delicious. After a few minutes Anita came back to check everything was ok with the meal. The manager was also very polite and friendly thought the evening. Definitely recommend and will definitely be returning soon - thank you.

Lisa and the team In wacky warehouse are amazing!! We attended the Annual Halloween party this Friday and they have gone above and beyond for all the children!! Amazing entertainer providing games and competition for the kids with brilliant prizes! Sweets when leaving and a huge portion of food for the kids to enjoy which was handed out and cleared so quick considering the amount of people who attended!! For the price this was a brilliant event for all as you don’t get many places of value anymore!! The ladies and gent staff were dressed up and really went all out to make sure the kids had the best time!! Thank you and we cannot wait for the Xmas eve celebrations! Well done staff of wacky sovereigns!!

I took my girlfriend here for a roast on Sunday. We were lucky enough to be served by a lovely young lady called Daisy. Nothing was too much trouble for her, and she had an enchanting smile. The food was fine and priced very competitively, My only comment is that I prefer my roast potatoes a little crispier. We will certainly be back again and would be happy to recommend this establishment to anyone in the area looking for a roast dinner.

I have to order of the non gluten containing menu, very little choice, requested the cheeseburger, informed no buns, asked if they would reduce the price as not full meal, told no by a very rude bar maid and I had to check several times about blue light card which said you but also needed prompting to scan the qr code. Meal came and had to send back as it then came with chips, so ended up eating after my friends.

Got to the Travelodge behind this place later than hoped so popped in for a drink at about 10.30pm. The place was empty and had the feeling of being about to close and probably would have been if we hadn’t walked in and spoiled any chance of an early finish for the staff. The barman, a short guy with short black hair and a mood to match his appearance greeted me by saying “what do you want?”…. we were clearly an inconvenience, he had no chat, no pleasant interaction, in fact he had all the personality of a cardboard cut-out. The decor was shabby and not in a chic way! Sticky tables, worn seats, grubby walls, give this place a miss. We won’t be back.

I go to Sovereigns quite often as I am always so impressed with the consistency of the food. Out of many green king pubs I visit , this one never seems to miss the target for good food and atmosphere. I come many times for breakfast as I work nights and the quality of food and speed of service is fantastic. The team are extremely friendly and helpful , especially Jack, even when it's at its busiest still finds the time to have a quick conversation with me without dipping out on service to other customers. The only squabble is , I miss the old style halloumni fries , they were amazing but have unfortunately been replaced with probably a more cost efficient product that sadly really misses the mark . But alas , no fault of the pub. The pub is very family friendly and in all my years of being a customer , I have never seen any drama or issues in there . Would deffo recommend for a quick bite and a cosy beer .

Very difficult to fine,signposting was awful. Went with family to the playzone here and to eat. The food was okay, we had to ask for our desserts to be bought out. The play area is quite expensive for the size of it. There wasn't space between the tables when all the kids had dumped their coats and shoes on the floor. There should be somewhere to store these. No ambience whatsoever. There are better kid playzones I the area

I have been visiting the Poppins Café in Cosham occasionally for many years. What I like about the place is the consistence of what you get… If you like the food, they serve you are sure to get the same time and time again. It is quite a large café and can seat lots of people. The staff are always extremely polite and attentive. Your food order is delivered in a reasonable time. If you are arriving by car there is some free parking (1 hour max) close by, which is good. The spaces are limited so it is a bit of a lucky dip. I will continue to visit from time to time. Some of my reviews may seem unforgiving but I come from a time when everything was not “Awesome” and “near enough was not good enough”. So, if I say something is “Excellent” that is because it is somewhere better than most others… and well worth considering visiting. I hope this review was of help, please consider following my travels & reviews in the autumn of my life.

What a lovely family run tea room / Cafe, nice decor, friendly well respected staff, saw a little girl specially bring in a drawing for the obviously much loved owner. Great prices for extremely good quality food, a very healthy breakfast as hardly any fat used during cooking. For a very small price I upgraded to a hot chocolate with cream instead of having the tea or coffee included in the Breakfast price. Also get a proper milky milkshake, not that thick ice cream mix that a lot of places serve, can have cream on top if you want it. If you want nice crispy chips or Hash Brown just ask and that will be done for you.
