The First Post in Portsmouth

Worst customer service from head office that I have ever encountered.

Great pub with beer garden & TVs inside & it's nearly always packed because it's a good pub & food is very good 👍.I would fully recommend it 😁.

Didn't eat this time, drinks were good and not too expensive.

We travel to this wetherspoons as its our favourite

Mixed bag. Some staff have manners, rest don't. Service is quick but often not

Typical wetherspoons. Good atmosphere, good prices

Nice pub. Good food. I enjoyed my time there. Friendly bar staff and servers. Good value

getting worse,bean portions becoming a joke

Very much appreciated food mmmm!

Nice and friendly atmosphere , good prices and good service can be quite busy sometimes but overall I recommend it

I could not fault their food. It was so delicious and proper home made native food especially the Afang soup

Why do people think a Wetherspoons should be 5 star I go here 3 times a week and I get what I ordered the staff are always so nice and helpful clean and fun thank you

Was 1st time here , very nice , very friendly staff.

Used the Wetherspoon app to order online. Money taken from my account but order not placed. Manager unhelpful. A place to avoid if you don't want to throw money away.

Online order money taken but order not placed. Manager unhelpful. Avoid.

Lovely brekky served relatively quick. Pretty much perfect with no complaints!

For the money you really cannot argue. Staff are always very pleasant, you can have lots to eat and drink and still have money to get home.

Went for breakfast on Saturday morning before Pompey’s first home game..it was a bit late arriving but a very good large breakfast..everything well cooked and hot and all the staff were doing a fantastic job under pressure..Wetherspoons food can be variable but these guys turned out the best I’ve had ..

Nice spoons pub clean and tidy.

Popular pub with friendly attentive staff. Food prepared well and tasty. The hot drink refill machine is great value.

Nice place, younger staff may need people skills, as just dropping food and drinks on tables. Not even asking off correct.

Prompt food service, with all meals coming out together for the six of us today. The food was as reliable as ever, you get what you expect at Spoons, and you either like it or you don't! It was a bit noisy, but then what do you expect in a Spoons on a Saturday evening? I mean, no-one ever said that Spoons was a place for a quiet romantic candlelit dinner! On the other hand you can get dinner for a tenner a head...

A Wetherspoons in the heart of Cosham. A good selection of beers, wines and spirits. Friendly staff, good table service via the app - normally quicker than queuing at the bar if it's busy. A small garden/smoking area at the back. Normal standard of food, the curry was very tasty. The place was clean and tidy, even the toilets. Wheelchair access from outside. Parking is on street in the local area.

Can't fault the food or the price they outdone themselves once again staff brilliant

I go here every Sunday morning if I can for a walk and a breakfast with my wife. Great traditional cooked english breakfast with great service.

We went for a lunch together, it was so nice to spend time together my husband and I.

Very good indeed food was lovely.

Great value meal and excellent for a quick bite to eat. Great customer service and very tidy inside.

ETA: Gents toilets - bring a snorkel. since my last visit. The place is swimming in piss. How they achieved a platinum loo award is beyond me. The rest of the review is good though. Easy ordering via the Wetherspoons app, and the food was decent for the price, but as with all Wetherspoons, it's lacking in atmosphere. Good for a cheap meal, but wouldn't want to spend any serious time here

Member of Staff regarding my sister bringing in her scooter.( it's never been an issue before, we've brought it in a number of time,they're Collapsed and out the way. The staff member was so rude and aggressive She didn't even come over to say it she shouted it from other side of pub. Then continued to be rude when a member of my family when asking for a straw. Then asked for I'd for apple juice. She the carried on to then slag us off to her colleague.

Managers attitude is vile. Speaks to customers like you are poo of her shoe. Not mention she always walking around with face like a slapped backside. Need more training on her customer service. Other then that food is always spot on. 👌

3 yobs causing trouble made it a tense and unenjoyable atmosphere, they eventually left stealing their glasses and heading off to the red lion after causing issues in Portsbridge earlier , staff did nothing , but to be fair on minimum wage who would blame them

Went there yesterday had cheesy chips ended coming home and bringing it back up wouldn’t eat there again.

The usual crowd 😀 The usual food 🍳 Great staff ⚕️ The usual prices 😁, we're going to Greece and the price of IPA here is £1.79. In Greece €3.00. We would be better off staying in The First Post 📯.

Didn't have food but the place was busy and service was efficient.

Great service good food worth a visit 😁

The service I received today was awful. Customers were rude to me, my friend and our kids. Staff were too. After asking for a refund because we didn't feel welcome in there the manager refused to give us one. Won't be going there again and any one with SEN kids or toddlers I reckon you don't either. Kids should be seen not heard in this pub and God forbid your kids do step out of line apparently it's OK for other people to tell you how to parent etc. It's ashame because I've been going in here for years and had only minor incidents with some rude customers but today was other level.

Lovely spoons in Cosham. Food and drink came quick when ordering from the app and the staff were very friendly.

Visited this spoons with some friends for a couple beers and food. Bar staff very friendly and the food was much better than the muck they sell at the greene king down the road

Incredible service, food arrived extremely quickly and was well worth the price! The seats we sat on were not the most comfortable, and it was very loud, but overall, it was a great experience! Would recommend

It's a witherspoons there all the same you know what you get,had a breakfast and a pint here this morning was very nice

The food is reasonable. Very lovely and bubbly staff. About what you expect from a weatherspoons. It is very warm in there and gets busy...little room for wheelchairs and prams. Sit at the front or back or you will sweat. The mayonaise is...as always...left on the side! X.x Avoid! A common weatherspoons thing sadly. The toilets are also...as ususal only upstairs. A good place to go on a budget but avoid if you need quiet, coolness and room.

Great food, fair prices, warm kitchen until 22:00. Good selection of food and drinks. Can be recommended again and again

Can sometimes be too loud for comfort but enjoyed our anniversary breakfast with extra mushrooms 😁

Good local spoons, was busy but still plenty of room. Service was good.

Cheap as chips right up my street

We were a bit chilly inside, but it was baltic out, so we'll let them off! Standard Spoons, good selection of beers, decently busy, open until midnight.

Always enjoy a good breakfast here?

Stopped going in this pub over a year ago.The manager of the pub, Emma,has extreme attitude problems. Don't know if she is still there but she has turned being miserable into an art form. Every day is a bonus,Emma.

Hmmmmm! Putting ice in the wine glass before the measure of wine (3 times! Until confronted bartender) amounts to the customer not getting the correct measure of wine and weatherspoons making more profit by giving short measures!!!

Popped in for breakfast, great service and well priced, think it has a refit ? Looks much brighter and well layer out, would pop in again

Usual Weatherspoons good value always busy but quick service.Toilets remote but expected.

Was there a few weeks back. Staff were friendly and didn't rush us out the door. Other than that, standard Wetherspoon.

It's a typical Wetherspoons, other pubs in their chain offer a more pleasant environment than this pub. Since I last visited this pub it's improved, it's cleaner than when I last visited and the speed of service is a lot quicker. 👏 A good selection of ales in their Oct 2023 ale festival. £2.54 for a pint of St Austell Average Joe is great value.

The same value for money as all Wethspoons very interesting info about the area on the walls

Quick and efficient service and good selection of drinks

My mate lives round the corner, staff are always very friendly when I come down to visit.

Nice breakfast nice people and good service

Reasonably priced, service was good, food was excellent. Highly recommended. We all had fish and chips chips were a small portion almost count on one

Staff are really friendly, food is good and a good selection of Ales.

My wife and I enjoy our Sunday breakfasts at Wetherspoons First post pub in cosham highstreet. Great atmosphere, excellent food, best prices, welcoming staff that go the extra mile for everyone.

Just a pub, nothing special going on, not the cleanest, in fact looks like an effort to keep open. Forgettable.

Chargrilled peri peri chicken is a bit of a joke as the chicken looks grey and has never been near a chargrill. They don't even have a chargrill in the kitchen. Yuk.

Didn't eat here but had a drink, good service, busy and good access from the high street

Been a few times to this Wetherspoon pub when i am in the area. Food is good although it can get cold quickly I like the idea that i can order on the app - being disabled not easy to carry crutches and a drink from the bar If you want a quick cheap meal then these pubs are the place to go - even the drinks are reasonable

The food was average which I expected,although the beans came out as just a pot of tomato juice. The kitchen staff were great but the lady behind the bar taking orders needs retraining due to her lack of customer service skills and rude remarks which I found offensive!! Spent over £60 just to be insulted and abused is just perfect.

Cosy pub environment, cheap British breakfast grub & top notch customer service!

Great local spot for a nice meal out, just normally pretty loud thou with sports showing alot.

One of the only weatherspoons that serves there food nice and hot. Well done for your good service 👏 👍

Had a really nice breakfast .. Nice cuppa too Pleasant staff .. Very well, run well staffed .

Realy enjoyed this place realy relaxing and the staff were great.

One of the nicest Wetherspoons around.Good food,friendly service and relaxed.

Popped in for a coffee, cheaper than Costa etc!

Another lovely spoons a short walk from the Cosham train station. And again the staff were very friendly and I actually ended up in a conversation with some locals. Very nice. Small outdoor seating areas out the front and back of the pub. The Guinness was good.

Good value Wetherspoons breakfast nicely presented well cooked and tasty eggs benedict good coffee perfect.

Very ample portions of fish and chips 7:30 on a Friday night along with a lively atmosphere ( but well behaved ). Beer and food super value and women's Eng v Scot on TV for distraction if needed.

Great breakfast 😋 friendly staff

Stopped off here after getting off at cosham rail station. Just 2 mins walk. Not grubby like other spoons. Good atmosphere, friendly staff. Decent pint. Was busy but still found a table. Food appeared good but didn’t eat here. Seating outside has no Smoking which is nice for non smokers. Courtyard at rear for smokers.

Great place. The food was good and the staff was very friendly. Definitely will recommend it.

No complaints on my swift visit here. Friendly service, good beer and the usual great value for money from the JD Wetherspoon brand. Food looked good with a pleasing aroma on a nearby table. Will return.

I was supporting a group of 5 disabled clients I work with today. We decided to stop in Wetherspoons to grab drinks and eat our sandwiches as it was raining and the guys we hungry. We were served by a polite male staff on the till who was friendly and understanding. When we got our sandwiches out, a member of staff told us we have to sit elsewhere if we want to eat our own food. I explained I understood it was out of the usual but most places are fairly understanding, that there are no clear rules stating we can’t do this and that we have actually ordered many drinks. The woman continued to be rude and not very understanding. I am very lucky it did not trigger any behaviours for my clients and they packed their sandwiches up without complaining and we ate in the rain. A woman behind me then continued to be very rude and tell us we are silly and no where will let us in. I said I understand this but we’ve had kind retail staff members let us eat before as we don’t cause any bother and always order drinks but she continued to go on and the staff members watched and ignored. Eventually we left. Not a pleasant experience. Would have had a few nasty things to say in person if I wasn’t with my clients as was focused on making sure they were ok.

Improving so much!! Range of drinks, food and promotions constantly expanding and upgrading. Loving the Pizza's now!!

Came in for breakfast. Service was excellent, staff were brilliant.

Not bad was a bit moody as some man was smashing the bar up the night we was there

Staff run off their feet. Hope they get a pay rise

Really nice pub, good food, good area and cheap.

I should get off The Island more, a great pub with fine ales.

Food was absolutely fine and so was the drinks, a standard as to be expected from Wetherspoons. However, on multiple occasions the manager of the bar made derogatory remarks to myself and my family because we were ordering from the app instead of the bar.

Ordered food and literally 30 seconds later it was in front of me. Only gave 3 of out of 5 for it though as taste like had been sitting about (chips).

Great value for quick lunch. Particularly like the top up policy for coffee.

Very friendly service and excellent service and busy

Nice food and a pleasant place to eat and drink

Nice friendly staff, food was good and hot. Plenty of seating with a little outside seating area. No parking on site but there are places to park close by. There are bus stops close by and shops.

Usual Whetherspoons expectations, this one is normally quite busy, food is pretty reliable and the service good. They are on the high St so don't expect views or history, there is a rear entrance with a small seating area for smoker's. Parking can be a problem at times, especially during the day, there is a pay & display a short distance from the rear of the pub.

Barman cut us off because of one of our parties laughs. He was rude saying the laugh was doing his head In. Not great customer service to turn away paying customers......

Cosham based spoons, good location as right on the high street. Usual kind of crowd, good pub grub.

Always good friendly staff with reasonable beer.

The service is inconsistent - some staff are friendly but others don’t seem to care. It’s fine for cheap and cheerful as you’d expect from the chain but the staff do not make you feel welcome.

Much better food now the kitchen has been renovated

Typical Town centre Weatherspoons, good service and cheap beer 👍🍺
