Cosy Club - (Near Hampshire, South East)

Ilona Thompson We had an excellent meal here which was a lovely surprise as the pub wasn’t our first choice. Everything was good, hot and filling. We were catching the ferry to Bilbao and had picked another restaurant but it was shut and we found the Dolphin instead. I must say I’m glad we did! Dave the manager was very friendly and helpful, telling us about a quicker route to the ferry terminal. Thanks Dave and next time we’re in Portsmouth we’ll be sure to call in.

Donna Finch I had a lovely carvery here, Sunday. The food was outstanding. Fresh choice of 4 different meats, outstanding gravy, gorgeous roast potatoes. Yorkshire puddings as big as your head! 5 different veg and amazing cauliflower cheese. The atmosphere was perfect for a Sunday. The ship and castle was totally spotless, and the staff are very friendly and welcoming. Definitely will be back with my family. Best Sunday lunch in a very long time.

Sam P Dog friendly! Absolutely incredible food, huge portions, soooo so tasty, great service, beautiful place to sit, the music was brilliant and the JPA was delicious. I would Absolutely recommend. We had 2 large soft drinks, a Jamaica pale ale, Ital curry box meal, cauliflower wings with mango, chilli and lime sauce and a mushroom burger with fries. Came to £51.75 and worth every penny.

Yee Gan Ong Dim sum is probably best explained as Chinese tapas - an assortment of dumplings, croquettes etc. Traditionally only served at breakfast and lunchtime I live in the wilds of Hampshire. Dim sum hut is the closest restaurant to me serving freshly made dim sum. Luckily for me, they serve good quality dim sum with a good variety of dishes They also do a traditional menu but I’m usually here for dim sum lunch. The staff do a good job, especially when it gets really busy

Selma Majeed Really good tasty food. This is our go to place in Portsmouth, affordable and good quantity. The lentil soup when you dine in is to die for,. Pro tip: add some sumac (the red coloured powder on the table) on top of the soup and it just elevates the taste.

Sami I haven’t dined in yet, but I recently ordered my first takeaway and had mixed feelings about this place. Firstly, the entrance was a little confusing as the door signage wasn’t clear. I initially pulled on the wrong door. Once inside, I even thought I might be in the wrong restaurant and was about to ask for help, until I noticed the brand name above the counter. When I approached the till, the first staff member saw me but didn’t seem interested in engaging. I said hello and told him I was there to collect my takeaway. He was listening to music, looked at me briefly, then turned back to what he was doing. I was genuinely surprised that this kind of customer service was acceptable. It felt like he simply didn’t care. A short while later, a young woman served me and her attitude was completely different. She greeted me warmly, was efficient, and served me with a smile. She clearly made the effort, which I appreciated. I paid, collected my order, and left. The food itself was good, but I only tried one dish, so I don’t feel I have enough experience yet to fully recommend the restaurant. I ordered jollof rice with goat meat and coleslaw, which cost £18.50. While tasty, it does feel slightly on the expensive side. Side note: all their meat is halal.
