The Old Customs House - Portsmouth

The old custom house portsmouth is a fabulous place to grab some beer and find some tasty food

Gunwharf Quays offers a variety of dining options, but this traditional pub stood out. I hadn't been here in a while, but I was glad I stopped by for lunch. The food selection was great and the service was excellent. I opted for a club sandwich and triple cooked chips, both of which were delicious. Ordering was easy through the website, and despite a suggested 35-minute wait due to busyness, my drinks arrived quickly and my food was served in about 15 minutes. Overall, a perfect experience.

Went with some friends for dinner. Well organised but expensive noisy with loud music in the bar. Menu was limited. Two of us had the Asian Broth one sent it back. I persevered but basically tastless veg in very dilute soy sauce with chilli to flavour it. No prob with an immediate refund for the return, hence 3*. On the positive side, the rest of the food was ok although nothing special.

We always enjoy the old customs house for a drink and never had diner before. So we tried it and it was a one off experience. The location is nice, but one of the (expensive) steaks was burnt. The knife wasn’t sharp enough to cut through the food. An Irish coffee was made from a latte. So if you want to eat a burger or a schnitzel, this place is okay, if you just want to enjoy a beer this place is great. Otherwise, better stay away.

This restaurant is charming, cozy, and inviting. We stopped in for a few drinks and received a warm welcome. The establishment has multiple seating areas with a variety of tables and chairs. Definitely worth a visit.
