The Southsea Deli - Portsmouth

Great spot for the superbowl, as well as football and rugby! Great crowd, cracking food and lovely staff!

Handled guys that would not leave us alone brilliantly.

The perfect day. We recently celebrated our wedding at The Southsea Deli and we couldn’t be happier with our choice. From start to finish Daniel made the planning and event seamless. The food was stunning with our options adjusted to cater for both veggie and GF), our guests were so well looked after by the amazing staff and our wedding cake was just beautiful. If you’re considering an intimate event <30) then look no further. Thank you for helping us have the most special day. Love, The Coopers x

Excellent establishment . Very tasty , fresh food . All staff helpful and friendly. I have enjoyed all dishes on my visits .

Disappointing I moved to southsea a year ago. A friend bought me a beautiful south sea deli hamper with the most delicious local cheeses. When we walked the area to get our barings we stopped at the deli and grabbed a fab coffee- the best locally by far! I immediately put myself down to do one of their cookery evenings but over the last year found myself our of sync. However… in so much as the above, by contrast as a local with a townhouse one road back from the sea, we walk the promenade of a weekend, finishing at their deli truck. Conversation always comes to if we bother. Not due to the quality of the coffee as that is always good but down to the attitude! If I ever see the blond owner now I just don’t bother! On several occasions over the last year I have tried to engage but his level of superiority is just boring!! I don’t need to engage or try to be friendly but he always responds like he’s doing me a favour with his monosyllabic responses! It has on a couple of occasions become an interesting past time (when I can be bothered), testing if he can be as arrogant as the last time! He never fails. I mentioned what a beautiful day it was the last time and he responded like I was a tourist moron and turned his back. You sell coffee and a couple of cakes , maybe to occasion panini or focaccia with pesto… you are by no means the river cafe or celebrity chefs. You are local business owners! If you don’t like hospitality leave it to someone else. A superior attitude is utterly boring when served with my £4.50 weekend (end of the Promenade) coffee.
