The Florence Arms Gastro Pub

Popped in for a bite to eat whilst visiting Southsea beach. Staff very friendly and approachable. It's recently been done up, decor beautiful!! Very calming and seats were comfortable. At first glance thought it quite expensive for the meals but to be fair the food was absolutely delicious! Well worth the money charged and plenty on the plates. Highly recommend, hidden gem a minute walk from seafront!

Pleasant pub with a good drinks selection. Quite quiet location but seemingly no outside area which would have been nice! Prices not too bad, staff fairly friendly.

Only the BEST gastropubs welcome dogs in the bar & the Florence Arms did not disappoint 🎉 plus they served an outstanding midweek lunch to 3 of us (plus Jack Russell Mikey 🐶) for my birthday last week. We had a lovely bottle of Prosecco; plus delicious starters & mains; with sadly no room for desserts but they sounded wonderful. Everything tasted superb; including….the amazing bang bang cauliflower was to die for; a wild mushroom starter in a creamy sauce 😋 ; a fresh generous portion of fish & chips; a fillet steak which was cooked to perfection; delightful crispy pork belly. We’d all happily repeat the experience. Charming barman-waiter who saw to our needs and made my birthday special. Also compliments to the chef/s as the cooking was all 5 🌟

Dropped in on our way back to the front having been walking around the Southsea food festival, not knowing what to expect. Got very tasty food, good prices and good quantities of it. A nice surprise and very friendly and thoughtful staff. Family of four very well fed for £60, the standard was high, the kids were happy and the afternoon was saved. Will go back again.
