The Fratton - (Near Hampshire, london)

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!

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

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

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.

Dave Trail Superb love a good Kokoro. The lady that served me tonight was amazing. So friendly and helpful, some of the best customer service Ive ever had. I wish I got her name. Next time I go back Ill get her name and add it to this review she was brilliant

Keisha Roberts Been here quite a few times, but this visit was even better as we brought some friends along and had such a great time. We were served by the new manager, Sandy, who was an absolute delight. His customer service was amazing, really attentive and always seemed to know exactly when we were ready for the next round of drinks. Definitely the best experience we’ve had here so far, and we’ll absolutely be back!
