Easter Sunday and we called around trying to get dinner after 630pm. The Wellington was closing their kitchen, but Katee & Chef John kept it open an extra half hour for three of us. We ordered the Sunday Roast which was absolutely delicious and a massive portion to boot. Sensational pub, definitely recommend.

Booked for Mother’s Day as it was a brilliant offer of three courses for £30, presumed that because it was such good value for money the portions might of been small, however couldn’t of been more wrong! Huge roast dinner with literally all the trimmings, each of them cooked to perfection !! Best roast I’ve had in Portsmouth, the starter of prawns was beautiful and pudding of sticky toffee was so nice ! The staff where also really attentive considering how busy it was! Such good value for money can’t wait to return!

Service was awful , there was no service . Food took ages to come and two were wrong and didn’t come out until everyone had finished . Nobody asked if we needed drinks . We had to go up and ask for them then they still didn’t come . I will never be going there again and will not be recommending it to friends.

Wow, what an amazing tasty Sunday dinner. Booked by my family, 8 of us showed up and were seated and served immediately. We ordered starters and main, served very quickly and professionally by Rose and Shani. The manager, Katie, periodically headed over to make sure everything was going smoothly. The food was amazing and plentiful. We didn’t finish it all, however; Katie offered complimentary ’doggy bags’ to take the tasty scran home. My compliments to Chef John and Dennis (I had to ask all their names due to the impressive food and service) for their excellent culinary skills. TBH, eat out a lot but don’t often review (my bad) but this dinner and service was well worth me writing a few lines. Thanks team, we’ll definitely return.

This is the first review i have ever left and have to say probably one of the worst meals ive ever had thats why i feel the need to post this. Table of 5 booked for my wifes birthday arrived on time seated and drinks served staff fantastic ordered 2 chicken roasts 2 lamb and one tofu roasts. Totally unedible lamb gravy like water veg cold spuds like concrete and meat so chewy we all left the food on paying the bill the staff asked if everything was ok i said no to which she apologised. But will say the staff were great £ 108 absolutely awful.

Where do I even start. We had a table booked at 13:30 today. We had 50 minute wait until our food came. The food was awful. We both had the trio of roast. The meat was all over done. Chicken was dry. The beef was more chewy than beef jerks. The veg was undercooked. The Yorkshire and roast potatoes were chewy. Not once did anyone check how the meal was. We had to ask twice at the bar for the bill and then had to go up and pay. Service was non existent. The music was incredibly loud for a small dining area. First and last time coming here. What a waste of £62 for a dinner that was beyond disappointing

We thought we would give the wellington a try since the old chef John has moved to chambers as we love everything about the pub and area plus we have followed John to the chambers and go every week so thought we would give the new chefs roast a go here at the wellington it was a lovely roast the beef just melted in your mouth potatoes were nice and crispy the only thing what was missing that it was very small but we did expect it to be smaller portions but other then that it was a great roast and don’t be shy with the salt & pepper will definitely come back thank you for a great roast

Absolutely shocking service, shocking meals. Myself and my brother had planned on taking my mum out for a birthday meal and decided to come here, I wish we hadn’t. We arrived, ordered drinks and meals and sat down. The two starters came out suspiciously quickly and had obviously been microwaved, my mum had a cold starter, served on a hot plate??! The mains took considerably longer. The barman was clearly very disinterested, when the mains came we were missing cutlery, there was no offer of sauces, he clearly couldn’t wait to get back to chatting to his friend, who was sat at the bar. Unfortunately, two of out of the three main meals were absolutely shocking. Both steaks with the meal were not cooked as asked at all, the “peppercorn sauce” was garlic aioli?! My brother’s steak was bright red when he asked for well done, my mum asked for medium, and her steak was also bright red, and bloody. My brothers steak was inedible. We asked for it to go back on the griddle as it was not cooked as asked, the barman took this away and placed it back on the table A few minutes later, with no apology, just stated sarcastically “ hope it’s better for you now”. Unfortunately , it was still bright red and my brother couldn’t eat it. When we spoke to the barman about this, he made it very obvious he couldn’t care less. My mum asked for the contact details of the owner so we could raise our concerns, and make the owner aware of our dissatisfaction at this very poor service, and we were abruptly told “ you can try, you ain’t gonna get anywhere” Absolutely shocking, over 80 pound wasted on an awful meal with awful service and our evening has been ruined. It’s no wonder the pub is constantly empty. AVOID

Had the roast lunch followed by sticky toffee pudding. When I arrived (13:30), the place was empty. The roast chicken was fairly good however the potatoes and vegetables didn't live up to the same standard. Similarly, the pudding was big but lacked the sticky toffee flavour. The place filled over the next hour and the two servers struggled as a result.

xmas day what an awful lunch! starters came out after an hour! trio of salmon was an inedible salmon pate, and a sliver of salmon, NO gin cured salmon and no crème fraish, scallops were fine but no black pudding bon bon, the soup was lovely but again no parsnip crisps! another hour later the turkey meals came out gradually some with yorkshire pudding and some without, and although it wasn’t meant to come with yp don’t serve half with and the rest without! half an hour after that our guest that ordered the beef received his without yp finally the deserts, cheese board with warm cheese, chocolate delice served with vegan vanilla ice cream, came with chocolate ice cream and NO honey popcorn just a few measly dairy milk chocolate buttons, as for the pavlova, a shop brought meringue a few berry’s and no ice cream, a bit of squirty whipped would obviously do? so £85 pp was an absolute disgrace.

Sunday afternoon, pub almost empty with only 4 tables occupied. We've been asked twice for the drinks and twice for the food. After 50 (fifty) minutes of waiting we didn't receive the two roasts or the only starter we ordered while the two waitresses were chewing something literally every time they came out of the kitchen. We left without having any food after 1 hour of waiting. Absolutely NOT recommended.

Booked for Christmas Day lunch. Not the cheapest and sadly, far from the best. Initially all seemed well; our table was ready, our drinks order was taken and filled quite quickly and the starters arrived, including a soup with a hair in it. This was followed by the main course which, for most was turkey. This had clearly been overcooked and one had to be replaced as it had become totally inedible. The roast potatoes were very large and over cooked, as were most of the vegetables. The only upside was that quantities were on the generous side, but quality would have been much preferred. Then we sat there for an hour before our sweets arrived. Needless to say, they were disappointing (and some people didn't bother to wait). The Christmas puddings had no flavour (and no detectable alcohol); the meringue dish was just a shop bought nest with some artificial cream on and the chocolate delice was not quite right. Only the cheeseboard looked imaginative. The serving staff seemed to be doing their best but clearly the kitchen couldn't cope and we were still finishing our food when the next (three hours later) diners started arriving. Overall, a very disappointing experience we shall not be repeating.

Recommended by others as excellent but stopped a bit short. Roasts are getting expensive these days so the quality and quantity becomes really important. Bill was not far short of £200, so we were ok to expect something really good. Lamb was given the thumbs up, chicken was generous but a bit dry, pork good and beef pretty average. Excellent potatoes and jugs of gravy, well done. Veg was very plain but generous, carrot rounds, red cabbage and broccoli but all just plain boiled; not coatings or seasonings made for a plain palate… Cauliflower cheese looked anemic but was surprisingly excellent. Tart the veg up, adjust the meats but keep the potatoes and gravy just as they were and it’s very very close!

One to avoid… After taking seats in this completely empty pub on a Saturday afternoon, there was some confusion around which was the right menu and then a conversation around dietary requirements. Staff member explained options were limited as the chef was new and they didn’t want to be overwhelmed. Having chosen some options to check, the chef came out from the kitchen to explain she couldn’t really do anything gluten free as there was no relevant stock and she was new. We opted to finish our drinks and go elsewhere, leaving the pub completely empty once more! This at least enabled the chef to not be overwhelmed I guess. It’s such a shame as this place was once a fabulous place to go, often packed with people. Looks like those days are gone. With such poor and lazy service, you can see why it’s empty.

The venue was cold. The service was hap hazard and the Sunday roast was ok but priced higher than in the website. The cauliflower cheese had very little cheese. We had to ask for veggie gravy as they only gave meat gravy. There were no spoons to serve vegetables. It was disappointing overall.

7 of us (plus a baby and a dog!) visited for Sunday lunch at the end of November. We had prebooked on a cold wet day, which was lucky as all the other tables were constantly occupied during our time there. We all went down the roast dinner route, the quality was great and plentiful, with clean plates and compliments all round. We particularly liked the option to add extras to the meal, i.e. more gravy, pigs in blankets, cauliflower cheese, etc. We were served food and drinks by very attentive staff, and at no point did we feel rushed, despite us being there around 4 hours. We will definitely return.

Not the best . The staff were not very friendly or organised. Also one of them had long hair not tied up so trailing onto food. I object to the 10% service added to the bill when the service is average at the most. Food portions were small and hot food was warm not hot. I can see some people have raved about this place, so maybe we just picked a bad day, but really it should be consistent. We will not be going here again.

Wanted to love this place as it has rave reviews but left really disappointed. I'll start with the positives which were the great location and the nice Christmas decor. Those in our party who had a meat roast also said the meat was delicious. However, unfortunately the negatives outweighed the positives for me! Firstly the service was really lacking, they also didn't have our booking despite me booking three weeks in advance, the restaurant was cold and we sat in scarves the whole time, they gave us literally four pieces of broccoli for three of us and no vegetarian gravy with the vegetable wellington (had to ask for some) and they didn't have one of the three or four dessert options. Disappointing and won't be back.

Our experience of The Wellington was amazing. We arrived and the table we booked wasn’t quite ready but the staff were great, offering us drinks at the bar and making us feel very welcome. After a very short wait the table was ready, it was clean and very well presented with small table decorations and candles. We ordered food and drinks with the waitress who claimed to be new, although you would never have guessed. The food arrived in good time, it was hot and the portions were very generous. We had a dessert which was also perfect. During our time in The Wellington the manageress Emma was fantastic jumping from table to table, ensuring all guests were ok and tending to any needs they had which is probably why the other waitresses were also extremely good. The atmosphere was good, it was so busy they even had to call in another waitress from another restaurant. The restaurant is also dog friendly. My family and I will definitely return, if you haven’t tried The Wellington please do, you will not regret it.

Really disappointing Sunday roast experience a couple of weeks ago. It is at the higher price point and in the past year, the food quality and portions have reduced. The cauliflower cheese had barely any actual cheese & stuffing seemed like dry, pre-frozen bullets. Service has declined. Only 3 tables in when we arrived and took 15mins for our order to be taken, and only then because we went to bar and asked. Didn’t ask if we wanted condiments and no one asked during meal if it was ok. Drinks added to our bill that we didn’t have. Staff were polite but seemed inexperienced. This is the second bad meal here in past few months and sadly won’t be returning. A real shame as it used to be great.

Not impressed at all. Came back on the Friday night after a funeral to find the bar closed Retire to our room No milk for tea or coffee. The shower overflowed, the floors were dirty no carpet at side of bed. Asked the following morning for the addition of milk and coffee, to be advised the cleaner wasn’t in and would complete the requested task. At no time when I made the said request was I advise that a private function was taken place that evening. Only when we retuned early evening to have a meal and drinks did we find this out, therefore had to find another restaurant. Consequently on our eventual return to our room we had to endure the Booming from the disco below our room Even on any welcoming messages sent from The Wellington prior to my stay, about up and coming functions, I would have cancelled on gone else where. Disgusted and Disappointed

He went above and beyond to meet my requirements and I was pleasantly surprised when I walked through the door on the day. His service , charm and charisma with how he treated my friends and family was second to none. Rose was helping on the day, she was very helpful and delivered excellent service with a smile. I would definitely recommend hiring the Wellington for any occasion as you will be nothing but impressed. Thank you Tom , chef and Rose for such a lovely day and delicious food.

Katie our waitress made us very welcome and we got chatting over a drink. We decided to have something light to eat to keep us going.

Food was absolutely gorgeous, Tom was brilliant, our friends didn't like the chardonnay so he went out of his way to find another to their liking, all in all a wonderful way to celebrate my wife's birthday thanks so much
