The Best Restaurants in Alverstoke, Hampshire, United Kingdom (2025)

This is truly one of the finest restaurants in the area. Despite being open for just three months, the level of service and attentiveness is absolutely exceptional. A special thanks to Burak for making the experience even more memorable. With 144 five-star reviews already, it’s clear this place speaks for itself — but here’s another one to add to the list. Thank you to the entire team for an outstanding dining experience!

Lizz is simply special, the food and service impeccable. We arrived and the restaurant was extremely busy but within 10 minutes we had drinks and munchies on the table. We went for two starters one of which we sent back but the problem rectified in minutes in a very professional manner.The garlic mushrooms were extremely nice and very hot which was fantastic.My wife went for a vegetarian dish which she absolutely loved. I decided on chicken skewers which were done to perfection and the seasoning of the chicken superb. We absolutely loved it. The staff were very polite and attentive even tho it was extremely busy. We loved the experience but some friendly advice book your table in advance. Thank you for such a pleasant evening and beautiful food and it doesn’t break the bank it’s extremely well pitched price wise. The toilets were extremely nice and a lovely bar area to chill. See you again soon Darren/Dawn

Dinner for Four. Lovely atmosphere. Great service and attentiveness. Quality of the food was excellent. Best lamb Shish I’ve had. The portion sizes were good. Felt suitably full after 3 courses and had 1 drink each. Prices were a little high at £190. Will definitely go again but stick with 2 courses for affordability. Overall the experience was excellent.

We visited Lizz restaurant on Saturday evening for the first time since it opened, we have always seen how busy it is when we drive past and I started to see my friends had all visited and every one of them have said it was brilliant. It really is decorated beautifully and to a high standard also, I have visited this place previously for many years and think this restaurant is by far the best move yet. We were greeted but lovely staff and every member from there on was very helpful, friendly and had great service skills. Drinks were served quickly and we didn’t wait long at all before food was served to our table. Everyone on my table was happy with their food as it all tasted fresh, great flavours and all served hot. We were extremely happy with the whole experience and will definitely be back. We all left feeling full and content with a lovely meal out. Advice to book as it was busy but you wouldn’t known as we didn’t wait long at all and the service was no different I think to if we were there and it was empty!

Great personal service, varied menu, freshly cooked, , will be back when we are allowed. Recommend everyone supports it.

Next to the War Memorial hospital. Nice location worth following the signs to find the entrance. Look on the special board for some good meals. I'd be back. Visited after Hospital appointment.

Great and friendly atmosphere! The food is great and the staff are absolutely lovely. Great place to come for some proper cooked food.

Came here whilst someone was in the hospital waiting to be seen. As I waited for my breakfast, the kitchen staff are happily singing away. The wait wasn't long for my food and everything was freshly cooked and very delicious. The staff are wonderful and very welcoming. Please pay them a visit, the food and service is perfect.

What a fantastic find this place is. Everything is top notch and very reasonably priced. On the quieter(rare) times Martin is a very entertaining chat too.

Our walking group decided to pop in for a cuppa or coffee .. Glad we did :) really nice .. Menu looks good .. apparently they do Sunday lunch but you need too book . We will definitely be back thank you girls :)

18 of us for Sunday lunch. Lunch was outstanding. Really good value home cooked food. Freindly staff managed our huge family party with a hitch Food was all hot. The 3 meat option was Huge.

I was recommended TCT by many local people as having the best Sunday roast in town. I can confirm that they do indeed have a fantastic menu on Sundays, the staff are very friendly, and it was a great experience. It was my Mum's birthday, and they put up a banner and some balloons for her. I cannot recommend this establishment highly enough.

A traditional English Tavern for a weary traveller needing the comfort of home. This Tavern has a warm welcoming feel, like a hug from your Grandmar. The Tavern is clean, the food and drink are affordable, and the staff are genuinely nice. If you want a craft beer and a funky hipster vibe, this is not for you, and that's okay, Portsmouth will accommodate you.

Went to celebrate a birthday & we started with the Pate, omg, that was to die for, the best Pate dish I have ever eaten. 2 had the chefs special Shepherds Pie which was absolutely outstanding & one had the tagliatelle which was beautiful. With drinks as well, it worked out about £,32 a head which is very reasonable. Staff are very friendly & helpful. Thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience which was recommended to us. I am reiterating this .

Awesome food, fast and friendly service, a good range of drinks, a cool location (we could see HMS Price of Wales and the Spinnaker Tower from just outside) and reasonable prices. What on earth else could you want? The salads and pizzas were especially good (and large).

First problem find a parking space! Yes there is 4 hours free parking but there are just a few spaces to the far side of a large resident's car park. From there head to the waterside and you will find the cafe adjacent. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Service was good and fast. We had the dish of the day which was a new to us flavouring but was excellent, as was the baked camembert starter we shared. Desserts 🍨 were tasty. Prices were acceptable.

Great venue for a meal or just a drink. Excellent menu and well priced for its location. Very friendly and welcoming staff and very nice decor, with art available to buy. Views over towards HMS.Victory, the Spinnaker Tower and the nearby Marina. You can also view the passing ferries. Highly recommended for couples, groups and singles...Not certain about families? Well worth a visit, but be aware it's slightly off the beaten track and car parking (unless displaying a disabled persons Blue Badge) appears to be permit holders only.

Well what a gem of a pub...food was amazing. I mean it amazing. The service was more than five star. I thought my mum's liver and bacon mash was fab...sorry mum you are in 2nd place xx coming back tomorrow to try the steak and ale pie

Great service in a welcoming environment. Our food was good and tasty and the dogs meals were enjoyed as they finished off the bowl contents. If there is a dog poo bin in the garden, I didn't see it, so would suggest having one around the corner by the gate as dogs are very welcome and may need to perform!

Great local! Lovely staff super friendly and welcoming to me and my little one! Food is always tasty and cooked amazingly! Locals are always super friendly too

Stopped here for a spot of lunch. Excellent professional friendly polite staff. Fantastic pub as pubs should be. Food was very tasty & wholesome. Highly recommend this pub 👌

This is the best fish and chip shop in Gosport, maybe possibly the county or even the world 😁 The food is delicious, not greasy, and the portions are good. I couldn't recommend this place enough a huge 10 stars ✨️ 😍

Great food at reasonable prices. Good service by pleasant local people. Can’t recommend enough.

We struck gold here. Just happened to be caught in the mood for fish and chips whilst parked at Stokes bay. So we searched for nearby outlets. This one did indeed not disappoint. The staff are so helpful. Even managed to park right outside. I had the best ever fish cakes I’ve ever eaten . Thanks to everyone involved.

Got recommended to go here from a friend who raves about this place, so naturally I gave it a go. The wait was short due to myself ordering a small cod compared to large haddock that the other customers seemed to order. My fish and chips got prepared and then left for a minute or two above the fryer whilst my saveloy was being cooked. Unfortunately the saveloy was not cooked, it was cold in the middle and it simply wasn’t cooked. The fish was flaky and chips were nice however I feel they could have been a bit more generous with the chips. The whole meal came to £12.60 and yet I find myself still quite hungry. To promote fairness I get cod, chips, saveloy and a curry sauce from every fish and chip shop I visit. This wasn’t the best I’ve had but certainly not the worst. Worth a visit I think, but probably won’t be going again.

Great venue for live music. Staff very friendly and helpful. I will definitely return.

The best independent spot in Gosport for breakfast and lunch early in the day. Giving way to beer and music in the evening (often live at the weekends). Great location, welcoming locals and warm reliable service. A*

Visited here Monday 21st October day before Mum's Funeral at Ann's Hill Chapel Oh, and the record player and vinyl records were great. My Brother said I was a great Dj 👍😁

Really enjoyable first visit to Katie's. This place was packed from opening on a Sunday morning so I would recommend trying to book! The menu is music themed which was a nice touch and quite different from anything else I've been to in the Portsmouth area. The food is good quality, it's not a greasy spoon by any means! Everything comes in good portions and tastes great.

What a little gem I’ve discovered today! I was looking for a post office near me and went to Alverstoke to find the lovely cosy Joy’s cafe. It was a very cute and dreamy place, with lots of bakery that looked delicious! And the ladies that worked there were very sweet. I had earl grey and a scone - fantastic cream and so delicious! And the size was substantial so one was just enough. And my partner had a brunch - smoked salmon and cream cheese! It filled him for the whole day! I will definitely make sure I return!

Popped in by chance,and what a great find!!Great little cafe.Lovely food and staff.Will definitely be going again.

Very nice little cafe serving a small range of plated and take away food. We had some bakery items and ate in. Food was great and my daughter enjoyed her baby chino hot chocolate. Friendly and welcoming staff and atmosphere with gentle music for ambience.

Lunch was delicious. The chicken and bacon baguette was more than enough for a bite to eat. My husband enjoyed the fish finger sandwich. The chips were crispy and fluffy on the inside, perfect. Service was friendly and in a relaxed environment with steeps of history.

Fantastic cocktails and small plates to nibble on. Fast and friendly service. The building has a unique atmosphere and ambience, doesn't get overly crowded which is great for casual, quiet drinks. Will keep coming back!

We had such a wonderful time here and the staff went above and beyond to accommodate us. Food did take a while to come but it was fantastic, I must say. Top quality and absolutely delicious. It was busy by the time we left so it was really noisy but not much they can do about that to be fair! We would definitely eat here again
