The best restaurants serving British food in Charles Dickens Portsmouth South East

Saturday's: full of meatheads, slappers and idiots. Cheap beer though.

We booked for three nights in Portsmouth to see the harbour attractions, we had passed the pub/restaurant a couple of times because our hotel was just behind it. We rang the number on their website and booked a table. On entering the pub it was very busy because of the six nations playing. I went to the bar and told the young man we had booked a table and he took us straight there. It was a nice spot just out of the main bar, he advised us to look at the menu then order at the bar. We had already decided what we wanted when we looked on the website so I went to the bar and ordered, on paying the chap asked if I had any discount cards like blue light/ student union or armed forces which was good because I normally forget to ask. Our food arrived after a short wait, we had both ordered the black and blue burger which sounded nice on the menu. When the food arrived it was a lovely looking burger, a nice thick and tender burger, with onion rings. It tasted amazing, the blue cheese was great and the whole meal was perfect.

Stayed 3 nights in February. Thought I was getting a bargain based on the comments, but turns out I was getting almost what I paid for. It's not a gastropub, they weren't doing dinners, and if you paid for breakfast you had to get it from a pub a few doors down. This may be seasonal but nothing said as such. The room was pretty stark without even a bedside lamp. Unfortunately it was also freezing cold with a tiny supplementary space heater that was way too small, the thinnest doonah I've seen and no extra blankets. I had a few drinks in the bar one night, but it was cold there too, so I gave it a miss after that. On the upside, the bathroom was huge, there was lashings of hot water, big fluffy towels and a nice view. It might have been worth what I paid otherwise, but nothing makes up for a night where it's too cold to sleep

I'm well aware you pay a premium for food at these places, but this is something else. £9 for a terrible sandwich, packet of crisps and a water. Quality of other food is alright, portions are tiny yet price is inflated. Avoid.

The cafe is situated right behind the main historic dockyard reception area and has a great view out towards HMS Warrior and Spinniker Tower. Although there’s a large restaurant further inside the dockyard, a number of other cafes are closed due to the current Covid situation but it’s quieter here as most visitors head straight on to the dockyard attractions. Not sure about opening times as it closed for a period in the afternoon whilst we were there - not sure if it was due to staffing or some other issue?

Modern bright café with a good ambience and obviously plenty to look at. Twinnings Earl Grey and a nice Granola bar. No complaints.

Saw the Illegal Eagles, great venue with very lovely staff. Quick entrance into venue and a great atmosphere. Would go again

Great clean environment. Friendly atmosphere. Safe and friendly customers and staff. Very clean large garden space well maintained

It's got a good atmosphere, it can get busy , but it has a good/big beer garden.
