Ordered breakfast from NoshBox for the first time this morning, and can tell you it won’t be the last!! Food was soo good, really tasty, and well presented. The sausage patty’s taste lush! Food was hot when it arrived, and just can’t rate it enough! Def recommend

Coming back from just over a week long stay in France where I had a fair share of mussles and wine, I came back to the UK with an urge to nuke my pallette with something spicy as all hell. I got a taxi from the ferry to Portsmouth and Southsea train station, and just across the street was the Nosh Box. Walking in I felt a great vibe. The place is colourful and it smells alive. The menu was easy to navigate and the staff were friendly and quick to greet me. I picked out a classic BBQ jerk chicken box, but I was tempted by the jackfruit option. At the till I saw a can of Jamaica ginger beer and rum, and although I didn't want a drink at first, I couldn't say no... I wasn't waiting for the food long at all. I was absorbed by the atmosphere completely. Some classic Reggae jams and even a couple b-sides kept me bouncing around whilst drinking my ginger beer and rum. I looked around at the decor and noticed a number of gig posters. Most notably one of Bob Marley and George Harrison from back in 1975. What a show that must have been. Someone came out to hand over my food and pointed me in the direction of hot sauces and wooden cutlery. I shimmied over, and it made me happy to see one of the beautiful staff members dancing and singing along with me to 'Now That We've Found Love' recorded by The Third World, which will forever remind me of my trip to the Nosh Box, and give me a reason to go back. With food in head I headed to catch my train. Once on board (and safe from seagull attacks), I dug in. You can tell the chicken has been marinaded for over 48 hours (as the menu states this is a minimum for them) - Paired with a proper banging scotch bonett sauce, my jerk box made for an intense, but exciting experience since I never really tasted jerk this good. The chips and slaw complemented the dish, and I was glad to get a few pickles too. Like a good book, this is one meal you wanna enjoy bite to bite because you'll sure be sorry when it's gone. I have no doubt that no trip to Portsmouth is complete without a little reggae party over at the Nosh Box. Can't wait to try the rest of the menu on my next trip.

The food here is 10/10! the brunch tots with the bacon jam is so unique and delicious! It adds the sweet touch that is needed with the savoury hash brown tots! Would wholeheartedly recommend this place, we will be back!!

My partner suggested we come to NoshBox as she’s previously left a good review on here and wanted me to try! She loved her meal again with fresh OJ and I loved trying the BigNosh for the first time. The owner was kind enough to give us some free tots with our meal to say sorry for the wait. We were very happy to wait but this was a lovely gesture, so here’s another 5 star review :) we will be seeing you again!

Visited today and had the brunch tots and the ultimate bacon roll. Food is 10/10, always hot, fresh and large portions. Staff always friendly and welcoming. Our favourite place to go for food in the area. An absolute must visit for food when in Portsmouth!
