The Churchillian - Portsmouth

We came home last night on the way home. it was great to see that since we last visited the place to have changed the hands. everything looked fresh and well presented. the staff was friendly and since it was quiet, there was no waiting time at the bar. The restaurant seats were well furnished and there were a lot of menus. Outside there was a new large sitting area and a new outside. next time we will stop for eating to try the menu.

Beautiful pub, dog friendly with amazing view on both sides of the hill. really amazing for an evening meal and a drink. beautiful vegan options like a beetroot tar or a vegan nachos. comes back definitiw.

Having been here a few times before thought it would be nice to stop for lunch whilst in the area. Evidently fully booked, yes two tables occupied in view and one behind us. Ah well, possibly next time or possibly not….

Really nice pub, great views of the whole of Portsmouth. The good first, food and service was excellent, 100% recommend! Now the sad bit. My sister and her husband booked this pub for our mothers wake. Many of our guests (15ish) didn 't get their desserts even though it was charged for. The bar staff said we could purchase another dessert as the table 17 tab (our tab) was now closed. We were told the reason was we didn 't eat fast enough and they now didn 't have staff to make the desserts. About 30 mins later the manager came over and offered us a refund on all the people who didn 't get a dessert. He did confirm the desserts were charged for under the table 17 tab. Yes many of us were frustrated, we said it was ok to keep the money and we left. Very saddened to write a review like this.

Really good meal, had the lamb and the bbq huhn, which was amazing, our sever kathy was really friendly and beautiful to talk to. the gloomy was very surprising, the roar was beautiful and warming and the mini deserts were not so mini, which was a pleasant surprise, pictures down of gloomy. beautiful experience
