The best restaurants serving British food in Portsmouth South East

Chips were nice not sure if it works with gravy I would have to say. Fish was nice savaloy was cold but then it’s the distance we are

This place is a gem. The food was really nice, we enjoyed the red prawn curry, prawn pad thai and the prawn crackers. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, especially Roger. Definitely coming back.

Had the beer and whiskey tasting session with Bobby. Very welcoming, entertaining and informative. Will definitely be back for the rum tasting.

Good food, Excellent service, but the 'Wacky Warehouse' part draws families with young children, frequently resulting in the sounds of crying kids during your meal.

This is in a beautiful setting overlooking the harbour. It has the advantage of being upstairs; there's a roomy lift. We actually came here for a wedding reception where the food was all excellent quality. The choices for us were chicken or fish, both of which were served to look (and taste) really good - obviously the restaurant menu has more to choose from. It was all served by lovely staff with no sense of rush whatsoever. We will definitely return to eat here for lunch or dinner in the near future. Although obviously we didn't pay on the day, we've since looked at the menu online and think the prices are reasonable for such good food. Clean toilets are upstairs also. You don't need to pay a dockyard entrance fee to eat here either - you just tell the staff on the gate that you're booked in to eat.

Really nice, clean and tidy place, staff are friendly and the prices are fantastic. If you want a traditional style cafe this is the one! 👍

We used The Pelham Arms as a post match venue after a game of hockey. We were met with friendly, helpful staff and there was plenty of room for the 30 or so guys who played. We had a reserved area & Dan supplied us with a tasty pot of chilli with tortilla chips, bread, cheese, chips & various sauces. Just what we needed on a cold day! There was plenty of food & Dan & his team were great hosts. The food was great value for money. I would recommend The Pelham Arms if you are organising a function or celebration. Thanks Dan

My husband and I visited the A Bar Bistro last night for a rare night out on our own. The food was amazing, we both had the ham hock which was delicious. The wine was lovely , but the desserts were truly outstanding, beautifully presented and tasted divine. I had the rice pudding...which was a far cry from the traditional sloppy variety and my husband had the rum baba. The bistro had a lively atmosphere and the staff were friendly and attentive. We had such a lovely evening.

Used to be a lovely local but has now not only been closed by Greene King it was closed permanently 2 days early...

Spent a rainy afternoon in the Monarch today. Lad named Josh behind the bar brought the sunshine. Viiiiiiiibbbbbeeeees

This is a great cafe. Staff are very friendly and we have always had a really lovely all day breakfast here. The quality of the food is just that bit better than many places and they pay real attention to presentation. The cafe itself has a lovely old school vintage feel from the decor to the music and it appeals to all sorts from young couples, families and older people.

The wrap was hot, and delicious, the mochas were NOT! All we could taste was slightly sweet semi skimmed milk! Not even a hint of coffee or chocolate!!

Great location overlooking the beach/sea

Superb pub. One of the best in Portsmouth. Friendly staff, well kept ale, very reasonably priced. I always visit when I'm in town.

Visited for a late lunch, large family group. Lovely location with nice views. Great service, good range of hot food and excellent well-stocked salad bar. Good vegan, vegetarian and children's options. Thank you for accommodating our autistic daughter's needs so well.
