Wildwood in Portsmouth

Steak was cooked well but had to order and pay for everything else separately it did not come with anything else. And vegan lasagne was like a microwave ready meal from a supermarket

Once a gem, now lost its spark, Burger burnt and tasting dark. Pizza limp, a sorry sight, Drinks arrived near end of night. Staff were kind but far too few — A shame, Wildwood, we trusted you.

Popped into Wildwood for lunch with a friend and we were very impressed. The venue is lovely and was set up for lunch with the tables set. A warm welcome and prompt service. The food was quickly delivered and was freshly cooked, hot and delicious. We both had spaghetti bolognese and were very happy with it. I had cheese cake and my friend had sorbet for dessert. A very good experience. We ate from the seniors menu which is fantastic value!

Highly recommend the chicken Caeser Salad. Chicken is freshly cooked and served warm. Enjoy sat in the sun with a cold glass of sauvignon blanc. Staff are lovely. Friendly and attentive. Unfortunately I didn't take a pic because I was too hungry.

My daughter brought me here for mothers Day for a family meal. The food was amazing. The staff was helpful and friendly 👌 I will be back

Warm welcome, great food, lively atmosphere.

Really lovely meal today - great service - Thanks!

I really enjoyed my visit! The food was top-notch, especially the super food salad—so much texture and flavour. The atmosphere was relaxed, and the place was spotless. Service was friendly, but it took a few nudges to get the dessert menu and the bill, which could be smoother. Overall, a lovely meal that I'd definitely recommend!

Thanks for ruining my Mother’s Day! Yes we knew you’d be busy. But you’re over booked and under staffed massively. We sat down at 3pm. Got our starter at 4pm. Waited a further 45 minutes and no sign of our mains. We complained 3 times to a lady who couldn’t care less. One male member of staff was literally doing everything he could but it was not enough. We gave warning we would leave and in the end we got up and left. Absolutely diabolical. We had 2 under 5’s on the table and we were only 7 people. Our poor kids were having to eat snacks from my bag. No apologies given. Just eye rolls. Thanks for nothing.

A nice meal before the cinema, friendly staff and quick service…..

We ordered carbonara which sadly had no flavour, a portion of fries which didn’t come and a burger and chips meal deal which was cold.

I must say that Wildwood is a fantastic family restaurant. The food was 1st class and service was impeccable. I must recommend the seafood linguine, it was fabulous and my Dad said it was gorgeous place to eat. Our waiter was first class and was very funny and had a lot of banter with us. Will definitely be going back again and again

Food was so cold had to throw it away

All good just a little quiet for a Thursday night

I had a brilliant meal recently! The food and drinks were top-notch, and everything was spotless. The service was fantastic too; the staff greeted us warmly and really made an effort to check in throughout our visit. Plus, they brought out the dessert menus just in time, and we felt looked after all the way through. Can't recommend this place enough for anyone looking for a great dining experience!

I had a superb meal with friends and everything was spot on! The tiger prawns and minute steak were absolutely delicious – tasty, well-portioned, and beautifully presented. The service was top-notch; we were greeted warmly, and the team really checked in to make sure we were enjoying ourselves. The atmosphere was just right for a relaxed evening, and I can’t fault it on cleanliness or value either. Can’t wait to go back!

Great food, great atmosphere, great service

I visited with a party of 12. Our server for the night was Josh, his service was very friendly and engaging. Massive props to him, he made us feel right at home. 👍 We also had a celiac and there were plenty of options. Cheers all

Had a lovely time on Friday afternoon with a friend, the service was excellent, staff very polite, food was delicious and nice size portions, I will definitely be back to sample more fabulous food.

Fantastic service!!!!!! I will not fault that at all. The food was really below par to be honest. Didn't enjoy it at all. Chicken burger was dry and the pasta didnt have much flavour. I think this is a wildwood problem nationwide to be honest not like a particular dig at the chefs at this branch. Atmosphere you'd rate depending on the vibe you want. It was extremely loud so couldn't have a conversation really but if its a drinking occasion I'd say you'd give it 5 stars. All in all I most likely wouldn't go here again in a rush. Mainly because of the food.

It’s always a pleasure to dine at Wildwood Port Solent. It has a tasty variety on the menu along with friendly, helpful staff and a venue with a great atmosphere. We dine here regularly.

Great service and food very good indeed.

Excellent food, excellent service.

Absolutely ridiculous had a booking for valentine's for a lovely 2 course menu my girlfriend suffers from wheat so we had a set menu for her starter and main. We had a peri peri chicken with chips and not once but twice the chicken came out cold in the middle. By the time we had are dinner it was almost 11pm and on top off that the price 2 course dinner £20 each plus I had 1 pint off calsburg and 1 small glass of diet coke when paying for it the staff just asked me to scan card and when I got outside looked at total cost it came to £60 because they don't tell you that you pay for a service charge and an extra 20% vat on top of the bill. Please do not go there especially if you suffer from allergies as my girlfriend was very ill due to contact with wheat as was ill for 3-4 days after. Absolutely disgusting.

Great restaurant, friendly, good humoured and attentive staff.

I popped in for a meal and was blown away by the whole experience! The Double Pepperoni pizza was just perfect — great taste, spot-on portion, and beautifully presented. The fries were equally impressive; they really hit the mark! Service was excellent, with a warm greeting and prompt attention throughout my visit. Can't recommend this place enough for a top-notch meal!

Lovely family meal. Would highly recommend ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Food cold took longer than advertised for delivery

chips were the only hot item although extremely salty. the carbonara with chicken and lasagne was practically cold

Quiet experience, wasn't overly crowded. Was shown to our seat but someone who seemingly had enough of the day and was a bit abrupt, but the waitress was pretty good. Just an off day I think, not letting it taint the experience. Our starters arrived before our drinks, despite the drinks being ordered before (and weren't exactly challenging orders) and we were 3 courses completed in an hour, seemed pretty quick but overall okay. Not sure id return but for the location and general look, made up for it.

What a great find! I walked past this place and decided to pop in, and I'm so glad I did. The food and drinks were on point, and the cleanliness was top-notch. The staff were super friendly, welcoming me and checking in throughout my meal. Everything from the atmosphere to the speed of service was perfect. I can't wait to come back!

First time coming here and the food was delicious, service was excellent, the people are so lovely and welcoming. The atmosphere here is so nice. Will 100% be back and many times after that

The staff are amazing and the manager is fantastic. Food is unreal. Would recommend highly

We went for a Christmas meal with my colleagues, understandably had a bit of waiting, but had amazing food and had a great time. It is decorated beautifully and we had a wonderful time.

Great service, very helpful and attentive staff, delicious food, lovely restaurant (although a tad noisy, not many noise dampening features in the restaurant ). Will definitely come back d.v..

Great night out go you will love it

Friendly welcome Tasty food Dog friendly

Service was poor. Took too long to get our food. Didn't all eat together at same time. Expensive for what the food was. My seafood liringe did have plenty of seafood in which was great. Very noisy. Quite a lot of tables crammed in.

Popped in for a late lunch and the service did not disappoint, after being seated and our order being taken we waited a minor 3 minutes and a total of 20 minutes for our food. I treated myself to a Philly cheese steak sandwich and a garlic pizza bread. Personally the sandwich was a bit weird only due to the toasted bread but was still super tasty and well cooked. A positive dinning experience with a good atmosphere, at times I could hear the bar staff shaking the cocktails which was cool. A good place to eat

I ordered a margarita pizza from wildwood in port Solent and the state it came in is appalling and out of order . I don’t understand how can someone let this thing out of the restaurant and send it to my house like that . I would personally be ashamed to serve someone this . It seems like they have a new worker working there day one that’s learning to make pizza . It turned up soo cold , the cheese was not melted , the dough looks like it’s not been cooked in places they put a stack of oregano on it . In one place there’s cheese missing and totally blank . And they just put two shirty basil leave on it . definitely not worth 15£ . This is the worst pizza in my life . I had a friend over and what an embarrassment of this pizza turning up like this . I definitely don’t reccomend ordering from there to anyone .

Absolutely fantastic. Food amazing as are the staff . Highly recommend.

The food was excellent, but the portions were so small that we needed a few slices of toast when we got home.

Thus was a very special day for our family and the food and service we received was excellent. Very professional, courteous, polite, nothing was too much trouble for our waitress. Will definitely recommend it and we will definitely return.

I popped back to this restaurant and had a great time overall. The atmosphere was buzzing, and the service was spot-on—warmly welcomed and given a friendly farewell. The food hit the mark, but I found the drink prices a bit over the top; £3.85 for a coke feels a bit steep when I can get so much more for less. Still, I appreciated the cleanliness and speed of service. Looking forward to my next visit!

We really enjoyed our evening at Wildwood Port Solent

Really pleasant staff. Nice menu, with a choice of cockrails. Good food that came promptly. It's a big restaurant and was quite quiet when I went in there, but can imagine when it's busy it would be full of an atmosphere. There was no need to book (Sunday afternoon).

Lovely food and quick service with a smile. Only let down was the lighting, so bright!

Family lunch food was good but the Tuscan sausage ragu disappointed. The pizza was amazing though.

Fabulous seafood linguini if you order it WITHOUT CHILLI as the sauce and flavour is excellent but spoilt by the excessive heat of the chilli. Luckily they changed mine for me and it was beautiful. Also the sea bass that my wife had was delicious. Excellent service and nice atmosphere. A lovely dining experience.

Atmosphere was probably poor due to lack of customers at the time we was there.

We came here for a second time this year, but this time OMG 😲 . Fire of all we had our order taken by a whatbit looked like an experienced member of staff. He took our order without any notes or tablets, anyways we are waiting for the drinks to come but we are surprised to see the starters arriving beforehand. After complaining to the other member of staff we did receive our drinks in the end. After a while we had our mains and they were mediocre to say the least. Lasagne was OK but nothing special, carbonara without any saltiness in it. We have been here before but this time around we felt like no one really cared, such a shame

Very average food. Staff pleasant.

Had a lovely meal with family and friends. Food was lovely and the staff were great.

The meals were utterly tasteless! I can't remember the last time I ordered three different meals and couldn't eat much of any of them. There were three of us and no one enjoyed their meal or even ate half of it. The presentation wasn't inviting at all and let's just say I'll certainly never go back there!

Brilliant service I recommend booking early when they first open

Normally like wild wood but wouldn’t order there garlic beard pizzas because they have no onions on and minimal cheese

Popped in for a quick bite to eat between church and reception of a wedding. Not too busy and lovely inside. We chose the cobb salad with a portion of sweet potato fries. Really good sized portion and so tasty. Only grumble was that the older male member of staff was very loud. Other than that no grumbles at all and would highly recommend.

never came at all. I then spent a long while trying to figure out how to reach justvestd . have no idea how to get my money back

Excellent, especially suited for families. Open plan, varied menu, food served hot & relatively quickly. Good quality, reasonably priced.

Good food and service, and price quality. Very nice space for a lunch break in the middle of the week.

Went in for a nice meal but it was so noisy we walked out. Loud music even though it was nearly empty!

Had a lovely meal and the service was super friendly. However the selection of desserts was a bit disappointing. Ended up ordering ice cream and there was absolutely no effort on the presentation. Aside from desserts, very happy with the meal I had. Well presented and tasty.

Lovely setting and the staff were wonderful. We had the lunch time special and it was tasty and plentiful. What’s not to like? Would I come here again? Yes!

Opened for lunch at 12 , and we 3 chose nice varied creations to test the kitchen , haddock cakes ,fries on a pleasant garnish. Avocado salad & Beefburger & all lunches were polished off. Great family service. For us and the dog inside . Bottled beers washed it down nicely.

Food was good but not enough was still hungry when we left. Service could have been better

We were here by chance. We didn't know wildwood before. The food is excellent and the staff is very attentive and friendly. The price-performance ratio is outstanding!

Nice big venue (but that can rob it of atmosphere when quiet). Good friendly service. Good quality food and a good choice.

Good food and a wonderful french waitress. She makes the place !

Outside dining at it's best - tasty lunch and perfect portions.

Took the lunch time special menu which was good value for money. Had the mackerel patè starter followed by the lighter option of 1/2 pizza and salad for mains. There wasn’t enough toast with the paté, so asked for more. My daughter had the goats cheese penne for the main menu which was equally delicious to mine too. My granddaughter had bolognaise, milk shake and ice cream all for £1. Good value and tasty. I did see I was charged for the extra toast but advised I wasn’t told it was extra, it was obliged and removed from the bill.

Booked well in advance as had 2 dogs with us. Port Solent busy with great entertainment but Wildwood was struggling to keep up. So disappointed as it was a second visit and last one wasn't good either. Walked out and went somewhere else

Really enjoyable meal out. Service from the waitress who took the order was fab, what a lovely girl. Good food and atmosphere was noisy but managable.

Second visit in 2 days. Food great and reasonably priced. Dogs welcome on outside terrace. French waitress was lovely and attentive

There was a number of us 30+ so wasn’t expecting much. Staff were lovely tried the best with so many people. Everything took its time but our food arrived altogether which was amazing. Unfortunately my meal was really uneatable. I chose a Ceaser salad thinking with this many to cater for was a good choice. Salad was fresh but unfortunately the chicken was so hard I would have broken a tooth if I ate it. I would normally have sent it back, but I was with a crowd who I had not been with before. I live locally to the restaurant and have never been before but sorry won’t be back.

Food was pretty good as was the service. Nothing to write home about but nothing to complain about either.

Sunday lunch for four, the food and service were excellent. We thoroughly enjoyed and will return.

Nice family venue with good atmosphere,good food and service

Really delicious food and reasonably priced. Staff were great, polite and good service. Unfortunately its also extremely noisy, the layout and building itself means that the noise is amplified. We struggled to have conversations and hear each other during our meal which was the only negative. Other than that its a great place to eat.

the food never showed up ! tried to call the restaurant several times but no answer. absolute joke. £35 and no food arrived but they marked it as delivered !!!!!

Just returned from an excellent lunch at Wildwood. We were a party of six and had a sociable round table with a view of the marina. We chose from the 2 course lighter lunch menu and we were all pleased with our choices. We had an excellent server. She was so helpful, great sense of humour and efficient . Which made the whole experience more enjoyable. We think our server was Estelle. Thank you to Wildwood .

An underrated pizzeria offering a vast range of Italian food. Great for authentic stone baked pizza, chips & brownies. Will be coming back!

Good service, freindly staff. Busy.

Spent a lovely evening here with friends.

Great food, great evening, and good company however restaurant was quite noisy to the extent the waitress struggled to hear us and struggled to get the order right. Perhaps look into the acoustics and sound absorbers. Took quite a while to get our order but the food was so good it actually was worth the wait. The toilets were clean but the engaged or vacant indication was lacking and not very efficient.

It's a pricy pizza restaurant with no real atmosphere. Food we ordered was OK but small in quantity.

Friendly helpful staff, good quality food

I ordered the chicken liver pate as my starter but as I do not like nuts I asked if I could have it without the hazelnuts. I told the waiter this and explained I was not allergic. He suggested I was lying about being allergic and if I was would not serve me. He eventually believed me. The pate itself was pretty tasty (3/5) but when I asked for butter, it was thrown down on the table rudely. My main was a chicken in white wine sauce that was overcooked and dry. The best part of the meal was the green beans.

Four of us went into eat, my dish came out wrong, so by the time my food came out the three other family members had finished, so I sat there eating on my own, the food was bland with no taste, my mothering laws seat was sticky, was the fastest I think we’ve ever left a restaurant.

Happy atmosphere, good food along with friendly helpful staff - a great night

Visited earlier today and would say this restaurant was ok. The food was fine and waiting staff also unremarkable'. Was surprised to find a 10% service charge added to our bill as mentioned by other recent reviews. The toilets however were not ok. No loo roll, ooo hand driers and generally not well looked after or maintained. I would not rush back to this place.

Friendly and attentive staff, who provided excellent service. Always our favourite when we are in Port Solent. Special mention to Cana.

Took our well behaved dog. They gave him a treat of doggie ice cream, bowl of water. Nothing was too much trouble. We had lunchtime menu and was great.

Atmosphere was nice, but service was slow and food was very average.

Had booked a table for 9 of us, clearly putting in the notes 6 Adults 2 children and a highchair would be required. When arriving at the restaurant, our table was not ready and no highchair. Service was very slow, drinks order was taken, Had to wait awhile for them to arrive before our food was ordered. At no point when we received our food did we get checked on?? Service charge was removed on our request as not warranted.

We were a party of 7 and we all really enjoyed the food and prices were fair. I knocked a bit off for atmosphere because was quite noisy. I think they need some noise absorbing walls or floor. Otherwise great place to eat.

The chicken was tough - there was no avocado - the chips were cold and only half were edible - the bacon was undercooked - you enclosed a carton of orange drink and a chocolate brownie which I did not order and had to throw away as I am diabetic. Needless to say, I will not be ordering from Wildwood again.

Great location, good food and an enjoyable atmosphere

Initially left standing at the entrance, it appeared that the staff were all just too busy to acknowledge us. That was put right by the manager after he directed one of his team to assist us. The food arrived promptly after we ordered it but we were surprised to learn that they had no vinegar. I can't recall ever eating in a British restaurant where they didn't have vinegar. The food was OK but no one checked up with us to make sure; a standard routine in most eateries. Unable to catch the attention of one of the waiting staff, we again eventually gained assistance from the manager. We asked for the bill and were surprised to see that it included an automatic 10% service charge. The manager asked if we were happy with this as I suspect he realised we hadn't had the best experience. Its unusual for me to leave no tip whatsoever but on this occasion I didn't feel one was warranted. Having said that, my thanks to the manager who appeared to be doing his best with the staff that he had. I should add that it was extremely quiet making our inability to attract the attention of the waiting staff even more frustrating.

Lovely food and service. Recommended highly

Look Wildwood ! Staff are friendly and helpful. Food good and reasonably priced.
