What an excellent place for breakfast. They also serve meals up to 8.00 pm , which look good value for money. Friendly staff and efficient service. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area.

DOG FRIENDLY!!! Went for a birthday family meal. Staff were great, the service couldn't be faulted. We booked prior, and they accommodated perfectly, even for a pooch! Great food at amazing value for money! Amazing selection of cakes too! At Eastney Marina, perfect for a Sunday Roast, or a coffee and cake after a walk!

Good food with plenty to choose from the menu, they also do breakfasts, inside and outside seating, dog friendly, lovely views of the harbour and great staff, they also have live bands and entertainment during the summer months, not far from the main beaches and other attractions along Southsea sea front

If you want a relaxed atmosphere with no frills, basic and rustic food without all the pretentious service of gastro pubs, this was great! As the british pub gets decimated and turned into gastro pubs everywhere, there are rarely many with good atmospheres left. This makes no pretence at being anything other than a marina bar. It serves simple rustic food and fish because it's near the sea. I had a pizza which was very nice and i know you can get lots of types of beer and alcohol. I went on the hottest day of the year and sat outside looking over the marina! Lovely site. Lovely sea smells too. The atmosphere was friendly with a mix of people there - dockyard workers, local couples and people who owned boats. The servers and bar staff were friendly, warm and down to earth without all the pretentions of gastro pub servers! I would definitely recommend walking along the esplanade to this place after a day on southsea beach!

A brilliant cafe/bar off the beaten track in Portsmouth. Good selection of food and drink. Nicely away from the packed and overpriced places on the seafront. Lots of parking by the marina.

Nice spot right on the marina with outdoor seating and upstairs balcony overlooking the marina. There is a bar menu of baguettes, pizza and the usual bar snacks and a reasonable selection of drinks. Pick a sunny day, sit outside and watch the boats come and go.
