Malc Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 My trip to pompey is this weekend and as I have not been there in nearly 40 years I have been looking for eateries in the general area. OK I know some will slate the place but I have looked online and it's a nightmare, I would prefer somewhere other than a five guys, TGI, waga or similar for lunch or dinner on Sunday. If its dinner then I could go to Southampton as I fly back in the evening. Any recommendations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing maybe decent home cooked food, or steak etc??? How many going and what time (lunch or dinner)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like most stuff but really like Spanish tapas, but English is good too. Saturday will probably be pub or fast food so I wanted something else on Sunday. Many thanks.

Ive not been in there for a few years but when I did last go it was excellent. probably around a 25-30 minute drive from the airport depending on your route.

Malc Posted May 4, 2022 Author Share Posted May 4, 2022 I'm getting the train to the airport and have to change at Southampton anyway so it looks like a good idea to eat there with it being just 5 minutes by taxi from the station. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
