So far, their fish & chips should be the top one or two i had tried in the uk. but i only travelled to some cities and never searched for the best except that i visited in london. certainly, their price is in proportion to the price. i think the difference is not double or could be 60 or 70%. their staff is nice so why did i give three stars? first, i was sitting outside, so they did not have much chance to serve us. by the way, i think they should make the table stand steady on the ground that is not flat. second, one of the reasons i visited is that they painted on the wall that they have a wonderful garden. i believe it is not the open dining area in the front door. when i asked their staff, smiley, showed us to that open area. isn't it because i did not make it clear? language problems? the outside area is noting attractive, so there's no much atmosphere i could have experienced. i may visit this restaurant again, but it should not be the top of my list. p.s. a small fish shop is on the other side, thus it gave me an immigration to link with fish & chips.

I had friends and family for a birthday sunday lunch today. it was fantastic, the food was delicious and beautifully presented. the staff very friendly and service was excellent. the atmosphere was great too. thank you to a bar bistro for a perfect day.

Absolutely love the food especially the catch of day on my last visit of the venue, very friendly and personable service, love the garden , very secluded and away from the wind ! dog friendly and an independent pub most importantly!!

Service was ok but the menu options have lessened over the last few years. the vibe and atmosphere has changed too. it wasn't particularly clean in the toilets either and the tables were sticky. the plant based options are minimal.

Top quality and tasty food+ beautiful price.來portsmouth的餐廳首選！性價比超高 we ordered: ★🐠 &chips, ale battered fish with chunky chips 💯 the portion is massive! never thought i'll enjoy this british classic sooo much 💕 ★beef carpaccio, with seasoning related to the seafood dish, is very interesting and good quality👏👏 ( better than many beef dishes i've tried in france) ★scallop tartare, fusion with asian elements, i was not expecting such successful results 👍(so many times westerners created strange fusion, looks and sounds cool but not tasty at all, they just misuse those ingredients...🫠) we also love the cake: brownies with cherry sorbet. more than 7 elements involved in creating this dessert. appreciate they put effort on it, all the details spot on. the cherry sorbet was really outstanding😋
