Reviews in Hampshire

Proper English pub, very good food, friendly service at a sensible price. Will come again.

Lovely food and brilliant customer service. Always happy with the food.

Really great food and environment. Good waiting staff and cocktails.

We thought the value and service were great! We were a party of 5 and had a lot to catch up on with family over lunch. We were not in a hurry so the timing for everything was perfect. The food all looked and tasted great with attention to detail and decent portions. We thought the only minor issue was the pub extension 'hall' we were in which was quite loud and not very atmospheric or pub like.

It was very easy to book, wonderful welcome, we were running late but they were understanding on the phone and did not make a fuss. The service was lovely and made us welcome from my three year old granddaughter to Grandma, who’s a little older. The Roast was beautiful presented and with an exceptional lovely chef, who spent time explaining how he made the red cabbage sauce. Thank you for a lovely meal which we all enjoyed. We been many times and the service has not changed 10/10

First visit, Staff worked above a beyond, pleasingly motivated to provide a great service. The food choices were exceptional but the quality of a few weren’t very good, due to the lower quality produce used (cuts of meat) on some dishes and the huge variety being offered. It is extremely difficult to keep on top of every single item. I am myself a very picky eater and worked in the cater industry for over 30years as a chef and manager so possibly over critical…. Overall we enjoyed our evening and will definitely return at some point…

We were recommended this restaurant by local friends. It proved to be everything as described. Ambiance great, service great, food lovely. A little expensive but not greatly. Having travelled 250 miles we were not disappointed.

We had a really good afternoon. The service was great and the food excellent especially the home made pie I had. We will definitely be returning.

Sunday roast for four people: good choice of food for meat eaters, not much choice for vegetarians/vegans but the veg option (curry pie) was good quality and tasty (if a little unusual with roast trimmings!). Service was very good and friendly. I was disappointed as we were there too early for the live music, so atmosphere was a bit muted but okay. Price was good for a large plate of food. Shame there didn’t seem to be dessert offered though!

Easy to book, wonderful warm welcome and service with exactly the right amount of unobtrusive attention. My 103-yr-old grandmother thoroughly enjoyed her roast beef- praised absolutely every element, and she has had quite a lot of roast dinners in her time! Small plates are sublime- and beautifully presented. This is an exceptional venue with an exceptional chef and charming staff. Also astonishing value for money- I checked the bill twice because I thought you must have undercharged us! Thank you so much!

A very pleasant lunch with our friends. A fantastic variety and selection of Food from around the World. The Staff are very friendly and helpful. Will definately continue to visit SPOONS PORTSMOUTH

Food good and hot staff very friendly and polite

As always lunch and service were excellent. Our first choice for a local venue.

Came in for my grandsons birthday, my first time and found it a bit hit and miss! Quite a few dishes were cold, most of the pork was hard and dry but there were some really nice dishes too.

Been here twice, both times we have loved everything. Definitely my favourite restaurant, Great food. Great service.

We had a fantastic meal at Baja Mexicali in Whiteley. First visit and it didn’t disappoint. Tasty dishes, amazing tapas, great flavours. Brilliant staff, really attentive. We’d definitely go back. Thank you!

4 of us had a good choice of interesting food on the menu. Tasty food, well-cooked with good service and great value for money.

Great food and friendly staff. Would definitely recommend and will visit again. Thank you!
