The best restaurants serving British food in St Jude Portsmouth South East

Amazing owners and delicious food.. I have tried almost everything at this place. The amazing almond croissants and coffee is worth travelling to Southsea from London. The host was so amazing that they agreed to make a sugar free cake for us which turned out great :) Usually busy so would recommend booking in advance I recently visited Southsea Café and had a fantastic experience. this café offers a warm and welcoming atmosphere that’s perfect for relaxing. The décor is modern yet cosy, with plenty of seating, making it a great spot for any weather. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive from the moment I walked in. They greeted me with a smile and were happy to offer recommendations from the menu. The service was prompt, even though the café was quite busy at the time. The menu itself is impressive, offering a great variety of options, from hearty breakfasts to light lunches and delicious homemade cakes.. The coffee was rich and smooth, clearly made with high-quality beans. One of the standout features of Southsea Café is its focus on fresh, their in house items, which really elevates the quality of the food. The portion sizes were generous, offering great value for money. The café’s relaxed vibe, combined with its delicious food and friendly staff, makes it an ideal spot for breakfast, brunch, or a casual coffee break. Whether you're a local or just visiting Southsea, I highly recommend stopping by Southsea Café for a memorable and satisfying dining experience. I’ll definitely be returning soon!

Came for Sunday lunch. The food looked excellent, large portions, fluffy yorkshires, good selection of veg. Unfortunately it didn’t live up to expectations. Yorkshires and roast potatoes were both tasteless. Left most of it. The service was good and decor attractive but won’t be returning. The place was extremely busy though so maybe just wasn’t to our taste only.

Great night out was served by Lewis throughout the night and he was absolutely quality. Everyone drink he made was amazing, Great drinks and great prices

Wow wow wow Absolutely beautiful breakfast freshly cooked Lovely tea Brillant service Great place Will certainly be returning soon Thank you for a lovely breakfast and service

I'd heard a lot about the Sunday Roast at Sisters from some vegetarian friends so thought I'd find out what it was like for a carnivore. The ladies I dined with were delighted with their vegetarian Wellingtons (which did look good I must say) and my topside of beef roast went down very well too. In fact, it was a trip back to my youth with the delicious meat, potatoes, Yorkshire pudding, gravy and so on. I couldn't pay a higher compliment than to compare the dish with my Mum's cooking! What must be added to this is the congenial atmosphere at Sisters, the ambience there is conducive to enjoyable dining. The service is also unbeatable, you'd not find friendlier professionalism anywhere in town. Sisters is excellent for great home cooking and their amiable ambience.

We had a recommendation to try the breakfast from a friend. I opted for the full English and my partner had the smoked salmon with poached eggs. You have to wait to be seated, but there’s plenty of space. There’s plenty of parking close by. We will have to return to try the high tea. The cakes looked wonderful.

Absolutely superb food and fabulous hospitality. 5 Stars

We came to have the bottomless sharing platter, we were looked after very nice and the food was lovely and I was able to have a gluten free option. Definitely going to try again

Looked like a nice, friendly venue. Drinks ok, but waited nearly an hour for a few sharing side dishes for lunch, on a relatively quiet Sunday. Food was cold, poorly prepared and overpriced for what we had. My teens eat anything and they left it on the plate!!

Initial good visit marred by piss-poor customer service. Popped in on Sunday with the family for a quick bite and a couple of beverages after attending the King's Theatre Open Day. Initially impressed having not visited Porters in a while. Experienced marred by Chef's fiddling the stock by cutting portion size. Minor issue... Menu said 6 chicken wings specifically and was served 5. On raising with the server however the response was poor. "Chef's changing the spec" is not a noteworthy excuse when the menu clearly states something else. Server didn't fixed the issue (clearly under the guidance of misgyided Chefs). Manager also did not attend to fix the issue... unclear as to if they were actually informed. Dissapointing response to a small service issue that could have been easily solved... just lead to frustration. Shame as food was good and bear choices excellent... won't be returning however as just can't trust the menu will be honoured. Suggest patrons check what dishes include in detail before ordering and paying.

We didn't have a booking but luckily they could offer us a 'high table' which was fine. Very helpful staff, varied menu (mainly seafood) and wine list. The food was delicious and we didn't have to wait too long.

Staff were friendly and attentive, perfect location for a coffee break. Ended having ortobello mushroom and egg in a granary roll washed down with a latte was value for money in Southsea. More importantly were the fresh, clean facilities

What a lovely place. The interior is amazing, rustic and homely. An excellent place for either a date or a business event. It looks like it could accommodate about 400 possibly more, spread between the two floors. Staff and customers all seemed very nice.

This 'spoons no longer serves steak; This is a big mistake, I go elsewhere now, they must be loosing business as a result.

I really enjoyed celebrating Christmas in this pub. Great live music. I would like to highlight the hotel rooms separately. They are very bright and clean, there is everything you need for a wonderful holiday. Also, the location of the establishment itself is very good. Nearby is the sea, the embankment and parks, various entertainment and shopping. I recommend.
