Panku Portsmouth - (Near Hampshire, london)

Paul Aldridge What a find, a proper old fashioned pub with real beer and unbelievable food coupled with great friendly service, the salmon special with prawn bisque was restaurant quality, will definitely be back.

Oli Lea Came here on Valentines day. The food was exceptional. Book well in advance!

Simon Fisher An interesting space, brick arches yet cosy. Had the sausage roll and salad (delicious) with coffee. Service was a little unpredictable, the coffee came quite a while after the food (usually comes first)! Friendly staff. Well priced! Worth a visit if you’re in the area

Alexander Fergusson-Cooper If I could give this place one star I would... They have ruined pizza for me, it was by far the best Ive had, no other will compare. My partner and I shared the nduja/scotch bonnet and the chicken/paneer. Both were truly superb. The dough had a terrific flavour, but the toppings on each were perfectly balanced and flavoursome. We started with the cauliflower hummus - something we await to recreate! The service was outstanding, knowledgeable and friendly, without being over the top, again, a perfect balance. Wine list fantastic and comprehensive (the reason we came here - (fathers a wine merchant!) maître d was knowledgeable and showed us the bottle of wine we were curious about. Atmosphere was warm, welcoming, relaxed, and the use of acoustic tiles on the ceiling work as both an interesting feature and more importantly to reduce the sound in the bar/restaurant. I am hugely disappointed we are only in Portsmouth for an evening - had we live in the vicinity, we would surely adopt The A Bar as a regular venue. A venue for everyone, we were made to feel like long standing customers - warm and welcoming. If ever in Portsmouth again, we will rush back!

Summit to Sea I’m a bit “old fashioned” and being at sea nearly 35 years I do like a good maritime pub. I’ve been in Portsmouth 3 months and I have enjoyed the service and food here at the Ship A! The staff work hard and at times are ran ragged. This is a proud pub with its roots in maritime heritage and the Union flag. Love this place so much I bought the T-shirt.

Eloise Draper We had a lovely afternoon and excellent service from our waiter Paul who took care of us and was such a lovely fellow. The food was fantastic and we really enjoyed our experience. I had the mushroom starter, Trout for main and Chocolate praline, my friend had beetroot for starter, pumpkin tartlet for main and also chocolate praline. It was delicious! Great atmosphere and a relaxed experience allowing my friend and I to have a good chat.
