The food was exceptional, especially the Albonligas. I was also especially impressed with the service and kindness of the staff who served me and my wife. Especially from a blonde server! She ensured that the service i received was swift and enjoyable. She was also really polite and made my evening. The drinks were also especially tasty! Compliments to the bar man! The experience has really left a good impression on me and couldn’t recommend it enough! Will be returning?

The Crispy Cod
76 Locksway Rd, Southsea, Portsmouth, SouthseaOn my visit of 8th May 2026, I had a small cod and mushy peas.
The cod was absolutely delicious and the best I've had for a long time.
The mushy peas were average and maybe a little overpriced at £2.10.
However, the most amazing thing is they have scraps/bits. This is the first chip shop south of Watford Gap I've come across that does scraps. Well done The Crispy Cod.
I will certainly be visiting again.
Keep up the good work.

Walked straight past at first as was on the wrong side of the road, but caught sight of folks sitting on benches outside. It was 6pm on a Tuesday, but busy inside, cool dude type barstaff. It offered all interesting brews, but as this is one of the first sunny days of the summer I went for a cider, which was lush! Pint and half, plus crisps, £8 (March 26). Busy downstairs but sat in window upstairs no problem, -although stairs steep. 80s/90s indie jukebox, quiet in background. People watching the chippy opposite and lip reading traffic merging from side roads to the main, with pedestrians and cyclists everywhere. Simple joys. Just us and a young couple with baby upstairs. Nice chilled place for a drink. Enjoyed it.

Visited this undiscovered gem for lunch today with my father. We both had regular cod and chips with a drink each. Can quite honestly say this is the best cod and chips I've ever eaten and my father agreed (and he's 88 this year so plenty of meals to compare against). Batter was perfect, not greasy but light and crunchy and flavourful. The same quality for the chips. We took the time to personally tell the chef and won't hesitate to visit again.

We sat outside and made the most of their outdoor seating area, which was really pleasant and perfect for a relaxed lunch. The atmosphere felt calm and enjoyable, especially with the fresh air.
We also went for their meze offer (£60), which included 3 dips, 2 pita breads, Greek salad, 4 meze dishes (our choice: we went for 2 calamari, tarama salata and shrimps) and a choice between a bottle of wine or two cocktails. We had limoncello and Aperol Spritz to drink, both refreshing and perfectly made. You can order also a special Greek cocktail, which is authentically Greek, you just need to ask the staff about it! Especially, if you’d like to try ouzo! Keep in mind the portions are a really good size. We additionally ordered souvlaki gyros. It’s needless to say how nice that was! We had an orange dessert as well!
The food was exceptional. Every dish was full of flavour, fresh and beautifully presented. The variety made the whole experience even better and there honestly wasn’t a single thing we didn’t enjoy.

Cocos Takeaway
7 Fawcett Rd, Southsea, Portsmouth, SouthseaI've been living in the area for the past 3 years because of uni, and now stay here because of work. This is my holyland. I order once a week as a treat and they always knock it out of the park. When I would order in person, the people behind the counter would recognise me and were friendly with me. Now I have fun memories with the delivery people who know me. My only *maybe* criticism is that sometimes the fried chicken can dry up a little near the end of the day but I think thats more on me if I order around 9pm. I feel so lucky to have a place like this local to me

Padthai Southsea
211 Albert Rd, Southsea, Portsmouth, SouthseaThe most beautiful restaurant. Heart and soul, integrity built in. The cooking skill is phenomenal, nothing short of soul caressing with bravery to take on harmonies very difficult to achieve in Thailand let alone Southsea. They almost had to wheel me out on a barrow. Absolute angels

245 Albert Rd, Southsea, Portsmouth, SouthseaI came to Nicholson’s on Sunday evening for dinner and it was one of the best decisions i have made recently! The food was exceptional, especially the Albonligas. I was also especially impressed with the service and kindness of the staff who served me and my wife. Especially from a blonde server! She ensured that the service i received was swift and enjoyable. She was also really polite and made my evening. The drinks were also especially tasty! Compliments to the bar man! The experience has really left a good impression on me and couldn’t recommend it enough! Will be returning?

El Greco
8 Bellevue Terrace, Southsea, Portsmouth, SouthseaWe visited El Greco yesterday for lunch and had such a lovely experience.
We sat outside and made the most of their outdoor seating area, which was really pleasant and perfect for a relaxed lunch. The atmosphere felt calm and enjoyable, especially with the fresh air.
We also went for their meze offer (£60), which included 3 dips, 2 pita breads, Greek salad, 4 meze dishes (our choice: we went for 2 calamari, tarama salata and shrimps) and a choice between a bottle of wine or two cocktails. We had limoncello and Aperol Spritz to drink, both refreshing and perfectly made. You can order also a special Greek cocktail, which is authentically Greek, you just need to ask the staff about it! Especially, if you’d like to try ouzo! Keep in mind the portions are a really good size. We additionally ordered souvlaki gyros. It’s needless to say how nice that was! We had an orange dessert as well!
The food was exceptional. Every dish was full of flavour, fresh and beautifully presented. The variety made the whole experience even better and there honestly wasn’t a single thing we didn’t enjoy.
The owner was friendly, attentive and made us feel very welcome throughout.
Overall, such a great spot for a relaxed lunch with amazing food and drinks. We’ll definitely be coming back!

The Crispy Cod
76 Locksway Rd, Southsea, Portsmouth, SouthseaOn my visit of 8th May 2026, I had a small cod and mushy peas.
The cod was absolutely delicious and the best I've had for a long time.
The mushy peas were average and maybe a little overpriced at £2.10.
However, the most amazing thing is they have scraps/bits. This is the first chip shop south of Watford Gap I've come across that does scraps. Well done The Crispy Cod.
I will certainly be visiting again.
Keep up the good work.

Sadly my only criticism is being told at the end of our meal they want our table back in 15 mins, they only had to bring over our bill and ask if everything was ok, just think thats really rude and put a downer on a really good experience

The set up is great, with enough space for everyone to get involved and still easily see what is going on. We've walked away with some beautiful fresh pasta for dinner and lots of tips for trying it again at home. Would highly recommend the classes as well as the Deli, where we had a lovely coffee before the class started. Thank you so much!

Unit 10, St Georges Industrial Estate, Rodney Rd, Southsea, Portsmouth, SouthseaWOAH, ok, so I had a 3 meat roast tray, and my pals had their own roasts, washed down with a selection of drinks that suited all of us!
My mouth is watering just thinking about it, I HAD to leave a review! That was the BEST roast I have ever eaten. Every bit of food on that plate was absolutely packed with flavour. The pureed parsnip, the agave honey carrots, the meats just fell apart, the yorkys, the gravy. Honestly, all of it was UNREAL.
There was enough for two servings, I didnt even need sauce, it was something else, massive thank you, and see you again this Sunday ?
