A welcoming atmosphere in a cosy setting and very attentive staff who are perfectly pleasant and clearly passionate about their industry. Most importantly the food has an authentic Italian taste and is deliciously good. Portion sizes are generous and if anything in my opinion underpriced, certainly reasonable. Definitely a restaurant to put on your list in the Southsea area.
Thank you for lovely evening.
A nice cafe, friendly service, centrally located in Uckfield High Street.
I purchased a bacon and cheese omelette with chips and salad. The omelette was nicely cooked but the chips were a little overcooked.
The cafe seats around 40 people indoors and approx. 20 people outdoors.
The venue also has a customer toilet that was in reasonable condition.

Was lovely food and service was amazing the two waitresses were extremely friendly and welcoming i would recommend to anyone who likes a lovely meal and atmosphere Iyla and Lily were amazing brilliant assets to the team
Such a lovely spot, convenient for the train station. Delicious coffee. An excellent selection of pastries and savouries - including a mutton curry pie to die for either hot or cold. The al fresco seating area gets the sun as the morning progresses and for the rest of the day.
My husband I visited Humphrey’s for our anniversary. The menu for vegetarian was so disappointing. The items on the menu were a mismatch , there was no specific cuisine type.
I ordered the pea and mint soup as a starter. I had to ask for Salt and pepper as there was no seasoning . I couldn’t taste the mint and the soup was gritty. It was not smooth. Perhaps it was not meant to be, but seasoning should of been there.
When the waitress asked how it was, I was honest and said it was not great . Her response “ ok” !
My main was chosen from their main menu, rather than the vegetarian menu ( as it was not enticing) I chose the mushroom risotto. The waiter told me that they can make the risotto vegetarian friendly (without Parmesan) .
The dish arrived and Again no seasoning. I thought it was me being pickey, so I asked my husband to try abs he agreed , it was flavourless. I asked the waiter if they can add seasoning. He told me that due to no Parmesan the taste will be pretty much the same. You think being a fine dining restaurant they would have vegetarian alternatives to parmigiana cheese ( even I have in my fridge ).
I then asked not to bother to remake with seasoning and thought maybe something from the vegetarian/ vegan menu will be better. I chose the spaghetti in tomato sauce.
I was better of not ordering it and eating the bread.
It was something a child would eat. If an Italian came To eat this , they would be appalled. I ate 1/4, out of politeness.
I didn’t say anything, as at this point I just wanted to hurry up and leave.
Final course chocolate fondant ... finally something that was great. I wish I had just gone straight to the dessert .
When the bill came, I couldn’t believe that my tasteless meal cost £68.
How can spaghetti in some tomato sauce cost £22. I have had some amazing simple pasta in fine dining Michelin star restaurant and willing to pay high price. But this, as I said is something a child would get at school.
Also my husbands food was great , crab, prawns to start and halibut for main. That I understand to £68, but for vegetarian it was ridiculous. Even in Michelin star restaurant, the set menus or tasting veg menu is a little cheaper , so this place is just taking advantage.
Vegetarian/ vegan food has come a long way and many chefs have learnt the art to take a vegetable and turn it into a incredible meal.
This place has clearly not adopted this and think serving some spaghetti in tomato sauce with no seasoning is fine dining! Even other items on the veg menu didn’t look great.
If you are vegetarian/vegan, do not eat here.
Plus side, deserts were great and main menu was good ( according to my husband)
