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.

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.

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

Visit Portsmouth around 4 times a year for work, always make sure to sneak a visit here! Me and my wife came last week and as always we’re not disappointed. Smash patties are excellent, great crust and juicy. Side of chicken tenders were seasoned well. I think the value for money is absolutely spot on, portion size is reflected in price and quality. Surprised to see a couple of bad reviews… certainly worth trying for yourself!!!

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.

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.

Our company is proud to provide opportunities for Ukrainian refugees who fled the war, helping them feel useful and welcome while they’re here in the safety of the UK. Recently, we took them to The Jolly Saylor Christmas party, and it was truly a wonderful experience. The manager went above and beyond to ensure everyone felt happy and could momentarily forget their troubles. The food was fantastic, the atmosphere warm and inviting, and the band was absolutely amazing. It was a memorable evening for all of us, and we’re so grateful to The Jolly Saylor team for making it extra special. We’ll definitely be returning. Thank you for your kindness and hospitality!
