Trinity’s At The Lightship - Gosport

We stumbled upon this gem while walking from the Gosport ferry to the submarine museum. We easily found their website and managed to book a table within half an hour. Our server was prompt and returned quickly with the menus. Soon after, we placed our drink and food orders. The Malbec we chose was excellent! The food arrived shortly after, delivered by the waiter from our section. The grilled sea bass was cooked to perfection, and the roasted broccoli tasted like it came straight from the farmer's market! My partner compared their fish and chips to others he’s tried and declared theirs the best! Great job, Team Lightship!

This is a fantastic spot to relax, enjoy some food, and grab a few beers. The staff were wonderful, and the food was delicious. They also feature local beers that showcase nearby breweries. You can dine inside or outside, which is especially nice on a sunny day.

Whoa!! What a place We won a competition for 2 roast dinners and some house wine. It was SUPERB, 1000% Highly Recommend!

Great restaurant for small to medium sized events. Excellent service and very accommodating staff/owner.

Another hole in one from the group behind Trinity's! We got to find out about this restaurant from a visit to Trinity's Haslar (formerly Hardy's) although I've been aware of the lightship for years. My wife Jenni phoned for a reservation and we were accompanied by my Mother-in-law and Jenni's best friend. You need to gain entry to the marina to visit but it's well worth the extra step to eat on a lightship! Inside the stern cabin is spacious with bench seating and well lit. There is a bar through to the fore ends and also upper deck seating outside. The menu is predominantly seafood with choices for tapas and steaks from the grill too. I had the seafood chowder to start which can also be ordered as a a main. It was really flavourful and very filling, if you weren't greedy like me that would be enough food for most people! They weren't shy on the fish and mussels either with both in plentiful supply. For my main course I had the daily special which was half a dressed crab and frites. I am a huge fan of crab so it was an easy choice. We were lucky to get a time of year where the catch was so well portioned, Jenni had mussels in white wine and cream and they were enormous! I would say the menu is not exceptionally large but if you eat here it's the experience of sitting in the cabin and having a good chat, watching the harbour than just merely eating and leaving. The staff were really friendly and accommodating, it is essential you make a reservation if you are from out of town! Trinity's Lightship would be a nice to place to visit at anytime but I recommend the evening when the light gets low, that's the best time to be eating by the sea right?
