£5 cover charge to get in on Fridays is ridiculous, drinks are pricier than most of the surrounding bars. Bar staff have always been great and you get very little trouble (despite being primarily occupied by the "white shirt, no socks" clones that seem to have descended on Albert road

We had a private birthday party on a Saturday night. Lovely open area with friendly professional staff All the food was beautifully prepared and presented and of excellent quality. Highly recommended

The Southsea Deli is situated in an old bank. I visited after completing a bike ride with my mates… I have been there several times now but all before I started doing the reviewing malarky. The surroundings are pleasant and always clean. The staff are always courteous and work hard to make your visit a good one. Then food is always of a high standard and very tasty… All in all, a nice place to visit and I am sure I will do so many times in the future. 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.

Gone downhill over the past couple of years. What once was an Albert Road institution as the Fat Fox, The Fox is picking up on the worst tactics of overpriced London bars. BEWARE they operate a so-called "dynamic" pricing strategy which can have you paying huge prices for your bog-standard draught drinks after a certain time. This is **after** you've paid an entry free of £3(!) after 10pm or £5 after 11pm. Yes, depending on the DJs and the crowd, you can have an alright time. But it is no thanks to the establishment that seems like they're ripping you off if you just want to go in for a drink or two. Much better off trying a nearby, more humble, business that values custom and you get quality at the same time.

Every time I have gone to the fox I have a terrible evening but this night takes the cake. I am disabled and was attempting to use the disabled toilet when a member of staff opened the door, shouted at me for knocking too loudly and left, locking the door behind her so I couldn’t use it. Disgusting behaviour and a terrible place.

The perfect day. We recently celebrated our wedding at The Southsea Deli and we couldn’t be happier with our choice. From start to finish Daniel made the planning and event seamless. The food was stunning (with our options adjusted to cater for both veggie and GF), our guests were so well looked after by the amazing staff and our wedding cake was just beautiful. If you’re considering an intimate event (<30) then look no further. Thank you for helping us have the most special day. Love, The Coopers x

Disappointing I moved to southsea a year ago. A friend bought me a beautiful south sea deli hamper with the most delicious local cheeses. When we walked the area to get our barings we stopped at the deli and grabbed a fab coffee- the best locally by far! I immediately put myself down to do one of their cookery evenings but over the last year found myself our of sync. However… in so much as the above, by contrast as a local with a townhouse one road back from the sea, we walk the promenade of a weekend, finishing at their deli truck. Conversation always comes to if we bother. Not due to the quality of the coffee as that is always good but down to the attitude! If I ever see the blond owner now I just don’t bother! On several occasions over the last year I have tried to engage but his level of superiority is just boring!! I don’t need to engage or try to be friendly but he always responds like he’s doing me a favour with his monosyllabic responses! It has on a couple of occasions become an interesting past time (when I can be bothered), testing if he can be as arrogant as the last time! He never fails. I mentioned what a beautiful day it was the last time and he responded like I was a tourist moron and turned his back. You sell coffee and a couple of cakes , maybe to occasion panini or focaccia with pesto… you are by no means the river cafe or celebrity chefs. You are local business owners! If you don’t like hospitality leave it to someone else. A superior attitude is utterly boring when served with my £4.50 weekend (end of the Promenade) coffee.

A lovely place for a light breakfast. We opted to go here to start a long weekend. We had the bacon baguette and my wife added an egg, with two coffees came to around £15. It is a lovely, open place with varied seating arrangements, accommodating groups, singles etc. staff are all very friendly and helpful bringing our coffees over and then, in quick order our breakfast. My bacon baguette was delicious, light, crusty baguette that was easy to bite and chew, not always something you get with a baguette. The bacon was good quality and a healthy portion. Overall a lovely place and we will certainly be returning. Thank-you all..

The so called DJ absolutely sucked last night. He literally put a CD on then disappeared every 2 mins. No requests (obviously, as he would need to press stop on his disc and actually have to mix some music) - what a joke..

Cool place to go to on a weekend night for drinks. It's lively and has a nice atmosphere when it's busy at the weekend. The cocktail selection is cool too, maybe a little on the pricey side but worth it, plenty of options as well. I visited recently with a large group of 7 of us, service was friendly, though most of my party didn't enjoy the food which was apparently cold. I didn't eat myself however so can't really comment much further here. The pool tables also were covered up and pushed aside when we visited. Wasent a huge deal really, but it meant we didn't stay as long as we intended to. Still highly recommend visiting though.

The easiest 5 stars awarded in a long time. Attention to local, fresh ingredients of the absolute highest quality. Forget Waitrose and big brand buying power. Here you will find the finest Italian deli-style ingredients set in a cafe environment. Watch out though, the building doesn’t look like a deli on the outside! If you enjoy really good food, come here! I had a bacon bap with ricotta. The fabulous bread was cooked in-house. I never realised bacon, ricotta, a smear of softrito(?) and drizzle of olive oils would make such a fabulous combination.

Whilst on holiday, visited on a Thursday night with my Dad for a couple of drinks. We were staying in a local place so this place was ideal. Was very quiet, assume due to midweek and Covid restrictions. Bar staff were very friendly, welcoming and adhered to COVID rules. Very attentive and good selection of drinks. Drinks reasonably priced given the location. Plenty of TVs showing sports channels. Covid requirements at time of visit: tack & trace, table service, masks required, paper menus.
