The best restaurants in South East

A great organised ride, a couple of beers and a little bowl of houmous 👌

Food tasted authentic Lebanese, the baba ganoush was the best we had. Nice and clean. Simple menu, good quality food at affordable price. Good size burger 🍔

We held our daughter’s christening at The Black Lion and it was fantastic. Holly (landlady) was so helpful and the food that was provided was brilliant. Everyone commented on the variety, quantity and quality! It was a lovely sunny day so we all got to sit outside in the garden, which is perfect for families with its enclosed garden and play area. Thank you for making our day perfect.

Went there for lunch with my wife - the food was excellent, very good value for money. Drinks rather pricy. Surroundings very pleasant and the service was efficient. Certainly go again

I'm writing this review 6 months after we visited (I'll explain why later). It's an absolutely beautiful location, love the whole ethos of the place and it felt really special when we turned up. Staff were great, not issues there. So why the 1 star? I'm vegetarian, and appreciate the veggie option is generally a token effort (especially at a place called 'the Pig'). There was basically one option for a main that I could eat, so I ordered that. I forget the name of it...but what arrived can only be described as baby food. It was literally a plate consisting of just pureed pumpkin. No doubt very fancy pureed pumpkin, but a plate of puree all the same. Thankfully I ordered some greens, and my husband lent me his chips to break up the monotony of this boring plate of slop, but at no point did the waitress suggest we order these. I said nothing on the day. It would have spoiled an otherwise lovely afternoon with my husband, in this lovely setting. But the confusion, disappointment and sense of insult over this meal has stayed with me, to the extent that today, 6 months later, I am still dwelling on it and angry about it and felt compelled to write. Now you might argue as a vegetarian I am not your target audience. But....my husband is. He is a meat loving, fine dining addict. He carefully researched where we would eat, and thought the locally sourced, foraging ethos of this place would appeal to me, and it did. We realised the menu was meat heavy, but we thought the chef must be good. Surely they have a decent vegetarian option. No. I got baby food. An insult. What I don't get is how these places fail to recognise that by delivering these vegetarian dishes made with minimum thought or effort, they not only lose their vegetarian customers, but also their meat loving partners. My husband was equally as confused and disgusted as I was. I think he was embarrassed. You really need to up your game and show us you are capable of creating a decent meal that doesn't involve meat. Or....maybe you can't?

It is a great place for a coffe and a dessert. The staff is really nice and helpful. The view is amazing.

The restaurant is located in a nice place. The restaurant is very pricey, wouldn't say the food is anything special, had better in other places for less money. Service charge added on the bill, do these people want customers to go into the kitchen and get their own orders? The service is already in the menu price so why get greedy for another 10%. Won't be going back, the waiter was a tad rude, lacked customer service skills and never came to ask how the food was. Biggles the film is much better!

Tastes like Lebanon and feels like a warm hug from home. We walked in as they were celebrating their AA star. And we soon realized why they got it. The flavors, the vibe, the kindness, the cleanliness, the professionalism. So happy we drove from London to discover this gem, nestled in such a cute town. Recommend everyone to experience Lebnani.

Nice cup of coffee and right by the sea

Lovely place to grab some food! The full English is great!

Don't order the scampi. I contact them telling them that even though the scampi looked cooked on the outside, the fish inside was warm, not hot and the batter inside was not cooked through. We threw them away. Will not order from there again. Prices have gone up but quality is not the same. Its gone downhill unfortunately

Ordered a spaghetti bolognaise for collection, picked up right on cue, amazing service and when I got back to the air bnb I was blown away by the quality of the food. Probably the most gorgeous Italian food I’ve ever eaten. Must check this place if you are in the old town / southsea common area. Bienissimo 👍

As other people say, very friendly staff, plus kebabs and chicken curry ( home made ! ) - but really home made, not bought from retalier to freezer and microwave, lady got me to try chicken curry and next time I order... today I got kebab In Naan bread - delicious I do recommend this place !

Lovely food BUT I think something was missing off my ploughman's !! Still very yummy though

Very traditional pub with a very delicious ploughman's lunch. Would highly recommend.
