The Canteen - (Near Hampshire, london)

Natalie White We hired an upstairs section for my daughters 21st birthday drinks. The area was really beautiful, with amazing views from 2 sides of the room. The hire was free, we had approx 25 guests, plenty of seating. Food ordered from the varied menu was delicious and arrived quickly. Staff were very friendly. Absolutely perfect venue. Would highly recommend.

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.

Geoff Young I was hoping this restaurant would be good based upon the reviews, but it exceeded my expectations in every way. The service was some of the best Ive experienced, the food was amazing, and the atmosphere was lovely. I highly recommend it, and we will certainly revisit very soon. Wonderful.

Evie Cantwell We had such a lovely evening at Bella Italia! The food was great and the atmosphere was really relaxed, but what genuinely made the visit stand out was the service. Sunikan looked after us and he was fantastic! Really friendly, attentive and still calm while looking after multiple tables at once. He mentioned he’s only been there about 8 months, which honestly surprised us because he handled everything like a seasoned pro. I’d asked if it was possible to move to a quieter table and he sorted it straight away, very discreetly and without any fuss or drawing attention to it, which we really appreciated. He checked in at the right times, made sure everything was sorted quickly and just had a really welcoming manner that made the whole experience better. Also a big thank you to the kitchen as they clearly work just as hard and the food was genuinely 10/10. He’s a credit to the restaurant and we’ll definitely be coming back!

James Leach Great spot right by the sea. Shows sports. Good drinks selection. Good value for food. Great staff

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.
