Reviews in Portsmouth

The staff were very friendly, accommodating and helpful, especially with my Disabled father. The food was lovely and definitely come again

Very easy booking system. This is a great place to try lots of different foods and there is something for everyone. The main stars of the buffet are the Asian and Indian selection. So much variety and always replenished and hot. This makes it a brilliant place to have little bits of food to try and be a bit adventurous. The Pizzas looked good but I didn’t try them. The sushi selection is varied but a bit bland. The section for the less adventurous or kids is plentiful, including chicken nuggets, sausages, chips etc. This is the second time I have been now and on both occasions there was no Kebab and no Teppanyaki. The pasta section looked very unappetising with tiny squares of lasagne looking like dried up pie and the pasta with sauces didn’t look much better. The carvery is an absolute joke with sliced meat in some kind of water to stop it drying out( nothing like the picture on the website!) and the “Yorkshire puddings” were unrecognisable resembling a soggy Blini. There is a very nice salad bar with everything looking very fresh, colourful and inviting. Plenty of choices on the dessert bar too and the ice creams seemed very popular alongside the gateau’s, Eaton Mess, Crepes and chocolate fountain. The bar area could do with a bit of support. It took ages to queue up and get a glass for the bottomless drinks, the place wasn’t even that busy at the time and the bar staff could certainly do with a bit of customer training, bless them they looked like they had the life sucked out of them. The table staff are great at clearing the plates away ready for the next course and there are always plenty of clean plates and cutlery to pick up for the next round. I think, being that it is such a huge place with high ceilings the noise echoes around a lot and it’s a very noisy environment, makes it difficult to have a conversation. The place is immaculately clean. I’ve been twice now with two different groups of people. Not sure I will rush back anytime soon.

We’ve been here a couple of times and it’s always been so nice. Great food great service. Would recommend.

I have been to Spoons several times now and I am still impressed with the variety of food. It's value for money. The food is lovely and the atmosphere is great. The service was also very good.

This was our first visit. My son wanted to go for his birthday. Had a great time, good variety of food and was unsure where to start. Environment was clean and tidy, staff very nice and will go again.

Excellent food, Staff was A++ For sure we will go back!!

Under new management, a great pub with a friendly atmosphere. Great beer, good food and live music. Well worth a visit

Very good food and friendly service.

Lovely people, great service. Food was mouth watering. I will recomed to all curry lovers

Basic Chinese buffet lunch, sometimes inferior quality meat, mostly deep-fried starters. OK for students but anyone interested in real Chinese food would be better off going elsewhere.

A gem of a pub with good sized portions of food. Good selection of real ale. Friendly bar staff and good service.

hahaha You must be joking! Crap food! Needs a visit from Gordon Ramsay Waitress/s do their best under difficult circumstances (ie the manager & chef)
