Ship Anson - Portsmouth

The staff at this restaurant are friendly and chatty, treating guests like old friends. The atmosphere is great and it's a lovely place to relax. It's the perfect spot for a break after visiting the dockyard. As customers leave, they are thanked by the staff.

After many great visits in the past, yesterday's experience at the restaurant was a bit disappointing. The bar staff, two young ladies, seemed uninterested and lacking enthusiasm compared to previous visits where the male staff were welcoming and enthusiastic. Unfortunately, there was also a problem with the taps which limited our drink options to bottled drinks in the fridge. However, on the positive side, the chef who brought out our meals was excellent. Although one meal was slightly wrong, he swiftly rectified the mistake and returned with the correct order, apologizing for the error. This experience was a departure from the usual excellent service we have received from all your staff in the past. We will give the restaurant another try in hopes that this was just a one-time occurrence.

Compared to some of the more touristy pubs, this restaurant offers fantastic fish and chips and a delicious pint of Abbott beer. The staff serve with a smile, making for a pleasant dining experience.

I had a full English breakfast, it was huge, delicious and very reasonably priced. The atmosphere and decor are perfect for the location on the historic dock. Great service, too. Highly recommended.

This is our first visit and we had the bbq chicken and cheese and bacon burger, both were really really good, all the staff were very friendly and the general vibe made us both feel really great!! We will definitely be coming back!! Thank you!
