First-time visitors after being recommended to us for the buffet breakfast. As it was a weekday, it was actually cooked to order rather than buffet style, so the food was lovely hot and fresh when it got to us. The staff member who served us, Des, was so lovely! Very friendly and explained how it all worked perfectly. We will definitely be returning and definitely recommend it to others. Great value for money. Noticed whilst we were there that children under 16 can eat free with any full paying adult (ours was at school today but one to remember for the holidays for sure!)

My food was amazing, cooked to perfection which is hard to get everything right on a mixed grill, staff were fantastic especially Des, Miles and Esmeae. It was lovely to be able to watch the football and it still be a family friendly atmosphere. But an extra big shout out to Kaitlyn who was amazing, brilliant with my kids and always had a smile on her face,

Came down to Portsmouth to check out HMS Victory with my dad and stayed in the premier inn and had the breakfast at the restaurant. Perfect breakfast very professional staff. Des saw to us in the restaurant and the level of professionalism was first class. Food came out quick and was lovely! What I like about this restaurant is they allow you to sit wherever you want. I’ve been to a lot of restaurants and they will try to group you together, in this one you can sit wherever you want. If you’re ever in the area, this is the place to come too. Top man Des, thank you!

Did a Quick review of the menu whilst at Clarence pier end of portsmouth and found a very reasonable priced menu for late lunch/early dinner 6 meals for a family of 4 which was great value, nice portions and very nice food. All staff were very polite, made it an enjoyable visit. It was very clean and tidy and definitely recommend this to others.

Great food if you like your food stuck in a microwave.... food tends to be warm when it comes out, and 90% of there food is frozen. Sad when we're next to the seafront. You would think the fish was fresh. But unfortunately it's frozen.. oh and the tartar sauce was sour and was very much off... sorry guys. But other than that, it's great for kids with the play area.
