The Baffins in Portsmouth

We had the festive menu today, I had roast turkey it was absolutely amazing, large portions, definitely got your monies worth and more Table was Christmassy , crackers, and the children got a chocolate selection box. Thank you and all the staff were lovely and welcoming… Merry Christmas 🎄

Lovely Buffet put on by the Baffins for a party. Plenty of food, lovely service and great atmosphere. Would defo book again 🙂

Nice lady with white hair who served me. I'm a regular at the place, and this was the first time I saw her. I had a really particular order and she seemed welcoming of all the customisations I made on the burger. Even came back to ask about some niche details. Though the service quality is usually mixed depending on which staff member you encounter (ranging from 0 star to 4 star), she's a 6 star. Happy to come back here as long as she's in the place

Food took 1 hour 20 and they told me it would take 30 and all I ordered was a full English and a coke.

Late decision on a Sunday night arrived at 7.30 ordered the rump steak, cooked to perfection, great feed.

A standard Greene King offering.

Nice pub with an English atmosphere and great service, delicious food and nice guests.

We meet up with friends for drinks, chat and cake

Great lunch with friends as we shared a halloumi and chicken mango kebab. Nice surprise that the chips come inside the kebab flatbread. Friendly manager and good lager and red wine.

Great service from Brandon and Mia. Top notch pub. Love it!

One of nicer Greene King pubs in Portsmouth. Decent food, decent drinks and a lively atmosphere. Lots of tables outside so good on a nice summer's day.

Good food and friendly staff. Dog friendly and situated opposite baffins pond.

Food is basic but on a whole great value. Service can be hit and miss when busy but always friendly

Cold fires and cheese fries. Overcooked and pre cooked beef burger. Beer was nice though! And coool garden.

My favourite pub in Baffins! The burgers are banging!

Love the staff and that it's local. Can be a bit frustrating if service is a bit slow or they're not doing all the food. Some healthy eating options salad or plain chicken would be great. Love the staff though so kind and friendly

Cara, is superb, she is very friendly and attentive.

is a very good service staff and food excellent experience would be nice to be able to bye barstaff a drink? 🤔

Staff are bit slow and unhelpful. Atmosphere non-existent. Would not recommend.

Green king estate pub .As expected

Nice Greene King. Food was good and reasonably priced. Some staff a little bit mardy for my liking.

Have frequently visited this establishment throughout the years, it's a great pub with plenty of seating inside and out. They offer the usual chain restaurant pub grub as well as the vast selection of drinks to cater for most. The last year or so the pub has become understaffed, common for two bar staff during peak hours; one of which also has food running duties. It is common to wait 10-15 minutes to be served at the bar during busy times. A small gripe for some but with competing pubs in the city offering much better service it's now an easy pub to avoid. In essence, more staff at peak hours and this pub would be rocking.

Over an hour from main meal too sweet. We had an important appointment and could not wait any longer.

neally a hour wait tonight at 6pm for food just being chicken wings and strips and chips. When it did arrive it was very nice.

It's a really lovely pub with friendly staff. Great food at great prices, I've been twice already and will definitely be going again. They have loads of offers and deals on their food which helps and the offer lots of choice. I love the way they do their burgers as you can add what you want. A few places to park your car as it's by a park.

Great place for family and friends and kids

Friendly staff and food arrived hot & we'll cooked. Good choice on the menu

Nice enough local place. Staff were quite friendly. More of a local pub with a restaurant, as you need to order your food from the bar, which is a bit clumsy and cumbersome if there is a line, but really not a big deal. Beer selection is good. Even the wine was good. Food seems good, but dont make the mistake and order a steak like we did. Stay with the standard pub food, which is good. The place is comfortable, but three security guards on the night we attended were a bit of a concern. It seems a bad sign, especially as they were wont to roam the restaurant and fond of eye contact. That said, I would go again, I like the place, super friendly people.

Excellent food, reasonable prices, relaxed atmosphere. The staff was helpful and friendly.

Modern pub atmosphere, good food, good service, good people...

Definitely recommended come here nice a big nice beer garden, food and drinks lovely my partner loves beer and burger 👌

Brandon and the team put together a 50th birthday party with short notice they did a lovely food spread got a DJ with karaoke really made my evening amazing I'd like to thank you all you really went that extra mile x

Brandon is the best since he has been here it’s been a proper pub the amount of people that is coming through them doors is unreal. It’s a proper pub Brandon really needs to stay here. He is a brilliant asset to this pub. The staff here are excellent especially Matt he knows what we drink and the service is quick and you don’t have to wait long for a drink at the bar

Brandon best manager ever been so busy since he took over will definitely be back!!!!!

Did not eat but stayed for a while

Chilled Friday lunchtime when needed it most.

Lovely pub such friendly staff and a great atmosphere. The food was delicious. Brandon the manger is great and really made us feel welcome. All memebers of staff we encountered were amazing but Ashleigh really stood out for us. Super friendly i great asset to the team. Will be back again soon.

Visited the baffins again recently unexpectedly and was pleasantly surprised how welcoming it was compared to previous visits. The food was really enjoyable and the atmosphere even better! Would definitely come back again, thank you to you and your team!

I suppose you get what you pay for! 11.49 for 2 meals not even half of one got ate, great pub but absolute disgusting food, stay clear unless you want a pack of crisp. I can’t give less than one star on the food.

Nice place with good food and entertainment

served by mia, very welcoming, great service

Brandon the new manager pulled out all the stops in very challenging circumstances. Tills were down and kitchen was under pressure but he went above and beyond to ensure we had a lovely time. Thank you and we will be back.

I was taken aback by the quality of their food. Freshly well cooked, steaming and worth the wait.

Nice pub with some good deals for food. Nothing too fancy, which is just what you want. Dogs are allowed and those present were very well behaved.

Absolutely shocking staff. It’s my local but would rather taxi elsewhere and spend a few more pound then go to that place again. Disgraceful. Been told you get what you pay for !!! For that service I expect a refund of at least £30 from my £46 bill.

Family atmosphere,plenty of seating but slow service

Came here on Christmas because its supposed to be open till 5 and it's advertised till 5 but they wouldn't serve me a pint before 4'clock . This wasted my time and false advertising. He started arguing with me because I said the truth.

Lovely place and lovely staff the manager was very polite and check up on us and her new staff . The food was lovely i will defo come back here for sure

Manager is excellent and the blonde waitress and lovely young lady at bar who took our order was great.

Could not rate this pub any less than 5/5, especially with the new owners. They are the friendliest and always have time to catch up. This pub is the best in the area for food, drinks and atmosphere. Highly recommend!!!

Friendly and fast service, nice food

Great place We were made to feel very welcome. There were families eating. And dogs were welcome The food was very good. I had fish and chips and my wife is vegan and had katsu curry. All cooked fresh. We will be coming again. Bit difficult to park but we found a place on a road nearby I am disabled and on a powered wheelchair I had no problems getting in and no problems getting round inside.

Food menu has massively improved, great value for money and really delicious pub food. I had chicken katsu with rice and chips topped with fresh coriander and fresh chillies. Spoke to the new owners and they were both really keen to hear honest feedback as they have made the menu a priority. Definitely my new local to grab a bite and a beer 🍺

Changed landlords , not impressed with the food, it was 100%better when mich run it

Really good prices and good food

Despite a few problems with our meals and slow service due to low staff levels, Carl was very helpful and couldn't have tried any harder to rectify the situation. His caring manner really helped to ease the situation and problems were resolved to our satisfaction.

It was lovely meal, staff brilliant, lovely sitting outside looking onto baffins pond

Delicious, the food was amazing. The atmosphere are super nice, all clean, the staff are super kind and friendly. Dog friendly We will come back for sure

Good food, friendly service. We will return

Not been here for a while but decided to give it a try after hearing a few good things, It was very busy all staff working hard management greeted us. Food was perfect and the price was great! Will be back again!

Come up to the Baffins, had a great experience, Cara the barmaid was superb and the staff were very helpful. Loved every minute, food was grand! Nice for a cheapish pub

Good food, bonus points for having a handsome man behind the bar as well, very welcoming always happy to help

Friendly environment, very clean would definitely recommended. 5* on food.

Great service especially Cara bun

Really pleased with food and service this evening. No salad, but kindly offered peas instead. The dog was also catered for. Thanks again!

Claire & Carl have recently taken over and are striving to create a wonderful atmosphere & great food. Their service is impeccable & if there happens to be anything the customer isn’t happy with they swiftly and with pleasure resolve the problem. They also insist on pleasant service from their staff. It is nice to see Managers that are always present and work alongside their staff.

Bar staff very friendly. Table service through app is great.

I would like to say how good and Professional Clare, Karl and team are with everyone including people who think they should be served straight away and others who don't believe in queues... even when half the staff have phoned in sick... so nice to be in a good proper pub again..

Tried 3 times to get food on different days and times, to be told sorry kitchen is closed. Tried to get service at the bar that was very busy with one bar staff member I gave up in the then and we t to the rose in june

Food is great, staff are amazing Especially Claire accomated to all our needs

A traditional pub. Bring back pubs like this .

As usual when ordering drinks from the online ordering service you pay, you wait and sometimes wait to long if no one bothers to look at the printed out receipt with my order on only to be told we have never heard of that drink can you order something else, what is all that about, if you don't stock it don't advertise it. Then you fancy something to eat only to be told we not got what you want it's lunchtime. I ended up with a horrible so called cornbeef pie which was not nice, You need to employ a stockist manager and order food you do not have enough of, again what's the point of advertising something if you not got it. Fortunalty there is a Chinese, chippy, Indian and kebab shop up the road and believe it or not they always have what I want so after I have had my overpriced drink that I didn't originally want I take my business for my food up the road, someone needs to pull the finger out and sort out the stock levels and update the app with what you have got in stock, looking at the feedback I can see I am not the first to moan about this.

Manager is very friendly but we need more entertainment here like quiz competition, DJ.,.....

Ordered meal half what we wanted was off what we did have was shocking chips and curry sauce 10 chips…pie and chips with gravy only half the pie was edible over cooked and was hard the gravy was a table spoon in a jug that again had been microwaved when we complained I was told that the gravy was measured and I would have to pay for more never again

Great pub and really friendly staff.

Lovely pub and staff, had a lovely evening

We always have such great service here. Amy in particular always looks after us and makes us feel special. New staff member Bethany Rose is lovely. As ever, Chantelle in the kitchen is cooking up some superb food!! A great evening 😊 thank you

we come here on Thursday 20th April went to order drinks told they had no wine the my cola was flat took 15 minute to get a new one. ordered food, no steak or gammon on the menu. I ordered the sharers platter, which is meant to be shared between 4 people which was a joke it was just enough for 1 person

The atmosphere is nice as are the staff but the food took an eternity to come and when it did, there were parts missing that took ages to catch up. I had eaten most of my meal before the coleslaw I ordered with it came out. If it all came out at the same time and faster than an hour and a half (pub wasn't packed either), then it would have been a really enjoyable meal. 😊

Had a private function in here, area that was supposed to be exclusively used by the party I was with wasn't reserved, service was reasonable (we were advised that they had staff off sick and it was a football day. Average really, nothing extra special.

Great location and really dog friendly

Over the years I have seen many changes in the baffins. I first went into the baffins when I was 18 now I am 68.

Stopped by on a walk by the pond. Great atmosphere, jolly staff and great value for money. Had the wrap with chicken and chips - totally hit the spot. Drinks very reasonably priced. A gem of a place.

Decent local pub. Friendly staff. Haven't tried the food so can't give more stars.

I ordered my steak to be done medium and there was no pink and it was well done. Bar that pretty good.

Food is great value for the money!

I've been twice before football on a Tuesday night. Both times food took ages, last time I waited 55 minutes, it didn't arrive so we left and I wasted 30quid. It wasn't even busy. Avoid, especially on Pompey match evenings.

Decent enough pub. Reasonable prices. Foods pretty decent.

Went to a wake there yesterday. The food was unsuitable for a finger buffet. Jacket potatoes?? No butter couple of plates of chips salad doorstep sandwiche large quiche cut into 8 pieces,how is Pieces going to serve 50 people. No small paper plates only massive dinner plates?? No serving spoons or cutlery. My daughter bought vienettas for pudding ,they came out andwe were waiting for 10 mins before any bowls or spoons came out and then only about 10 bowls not enough. I bought a large coke was asked if I'd like ice and lemon when I got back to table the whole glass was filled to brim with ice and hardly any coke. Not enough staff. Especially as a wake was going on as well. Not impressed at all

Four of us went to the Baffins on Sunday. Three decided on the Sunday Special, went to order and told that there were none left. Went back to the table, two of us opted for a burger, went to the bar to be told there were none left. Back to the table where three of us opted for the steak pie, went to the bar to be told that there were only two left! This was not at the end of the day but 1.30 on a Sunday afternoon. What a way to run a pub!

Nice location and family orientated.....

The Baffins is a wonderful place to have a party! I had my fathers 90th birthday party there. Cassandra was very accommodating and helpful. Everything was just perfect!

I attended a private function last night at the Baffins. Everything was perfect, they had finger foods all very good. Just a perfect night!

Great food and friendly service ... Ideal.

Amazing service from Chantall as always, always goes above and beyond to ensure every customer has an unforgettable experience

Great location and ok pub food - decent range of beers but avoid during big football events as can get very rowdy!!

My family booked a table for dinner on new year's day and we had the loveliest time. The food was wonderful. I had a steak and ale pie and it was delicious. A really nice hot dinner. The kids really enjoyed their food as well, which is great because they're such picky eaters. The ladies behind the bar were so friendly and helpful and were great with my kids. Nothing seemed like too much effort for them! They had football on the TV as well which my husband enjoyed. We will definitely be back.

What a great local pub. I'm new to the area and popped in on a whim for some dinner. The menu looked great and the burger I ordered was really tasty. This pub had a really nice atmosphere and they staff were really welcoming. 10/10 would recommend

Popped in for a quiet drink with a friend last week and the manager Cass was very attentive. The service from Cass was perfect and would come back again just for her!

Had a lovely time with my family today, the staff were really welcoming and friendly. Will definitely be back for another visit.
