The young couple who own and operate this friendly, neighbourhood restaurant 10 minutes walk from the seafront at Southsea have hit upon a very consistent proposition that is based on freshly cooked ingredients, with a wallet friendly pricing structure. Arrive before 6.30 pm and enjoy the choice of either a warm or cold Bishop's Finger whilst perusing the menu, and... More

Went here for dinner on a busy Saturday evening. The service was superb, particularly considering the staff were dealing with two large parties, one of which was "boisterous" to say the least (I suspect the atmosphere is usually better than it was for our visit). The food was good and all very well cooked but was a bit lacking in... More

We decided to try out this place, as it was well reviewed and have walked past its completely innocuous exterior many times without going in. Reservations were made for Sunday lunch, and it was a good idea. The interior is small, but tastefully put together in a cozy and semi-romantic atmosphere. The waitstaff were all incredibly cheerful and helpful, swiftly... More

Quality of food and service was as good as usual. Soup with crusty bread, pâté, and 2 rump steaks cooked very well all for £22, (early menu) where else could you get such value.

A group of seven of us arrived to find our table ready and friendly attentive staff welcomed us in. Excellent variety of food suited all our varied tastes. A mix of styles to suit us, anyway. They offer a variety of specials, so although we arrived too late for the early bird menu, we were offered three course for £20... More
