So I had only been for drinks a few times. But liked my experience. Now I got to try the food and wow it was yummy! Lamb shoulder roast! We didn't make a booking but they found a space for us during the Sunday lunch rush and the food was great! Love the broccoli cheese and the lamb was so soft! Enough gravy as well on the plate. Very good!

Visited on a busy Summer Sunday but the 2 huge Roast Dinners ordered at the bar were delivered to the table extremely quickly. Different seating areas inside and many tables outside. Friendly efficient staff. Food expertly prepared and delicious. On second visit seated in the Restaurant area where Charles was an extremely efficient host. The Roast Lamb was like none I have ever had, melted in the mouth and just fell off the bone, the whole meal was delicious and I believe Marbin was the chef. They must employ the best at this establishment.

The food was DELICIOUS!!! I had the Caesar salad and schnitzel, my boyfriend had the fish and chips. Both were DIVINE! So fresh and tasty. We went at a VERY busy time during the supercar event, so service was a bit slow but it was busy! Prices were on the high side but the quality was good!! Would go back and recommend it.

I recently had the pleasure of dining and drinking at The Old Customs House in Portsmouth and it was an exceptional experience. The range of food offered was excellent, with a variety of options to suit all tastes. The dishes were beautifully presented and delicious, particularly the seafood options. The ale selection was also impressive, with a variety of local ales and ciders on tap. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu and drinks, making for a great dining experience. The atmosphere of the restaurant is cozy and welcoming, making it a perfect spot for a casual dinner with friends or a romantic evening out. I highly recommend The Old Customs House for anyone looking for great food, drinks and atmosphere
