Made several visits now - canât stop going or singing the praises of this delightful little cafe. Sumptuous cakes , fascinating and tasty food - all freshly prepared and cooked to order. Coffees, teas, and cold drinks in abundance. Just perfect for sharing time with friends ....or a well-earned âpit stopâ for walkers/cyclists to recharge their energy stores!! Sent the husband there for his breakfast yesterday - still talking today about how good it was!! Give it a try - you wonât be disappointed!!

The Restaurant & Bar at Solent Hotel & Spa is all about relaxed all-day dining with a contemporary twist. Awarded the AA Rosette for fine cuisine, it offers hearty British cuisine with some subtle Spanish influences, with emphasis on fresh and local produ
The first thing to say is that the staff were first class. Professional, attentive and helpful.Unfortunately the same praise could not be levelled at the food and pricing structure.The service was prompt. For starters we had Soup of the Day which I am sorry to say seemed to me to be bland whilst my wife seemed reasonably happy. The main course is where we had issues. I had a sirloin steak and my wife the chicken (barbecued, I think). My steak was tough in the extreme and my wife's chicken was dry. Each dinner came with the bare minimum of side ie french fries/potatoess, a tomato and cress. If you wanted, as we did, a side of carrots and brocolli it would cost you something like 12 -13 pounds for 4 portions. Why ? Having paid nearly a kings ransom for the main course I would have hoped that vegatables would be offered as part of the meal, not have to pay extra. All in all a disapoointment. For the prices charged I would have hoped for better.One saving grace was that the sticky toffee pudding was very good and priced more realistically.

oked a room for a special event at Lysses. There was plenty of room in the shady, leafy car park. With its wedding cake ceilings and chandeliers it was a great choice. We had a smaller room off the main dining area and the table was arranged in a square so no-one was far away. Despite it being Sunday with another event going on and no doors between us, it felt very private. We decorated the room ourselves with no problems and retired for aperitifs in the stylish lounge. We had previously arranged for gluten free, dairy free and vegetarian choices and we had two children who were catered for too. The choices were good in each course and each dietary problem had their own separate menu, just as good, The staff were friendly and helpful throughout and we were not rushed. The starters were unusual and tasty. The roast beef option came like slices of steak with a Yorkshire pud nearly as big as your head. The fish choice was apparently supreme.There was a great selection of vegetables and plenty of roasties, Everything was beautifully cooked and presented. The sweets were very pretty and delicious. The star of the day had her plate written by the chef. After the meal we had bottomless fresh coffees and petit fours. The chef appeared then to make sure everything had been great (and probably to check we were all still alive, which we are used to!).Finally we retired to the lovely terrace and the children could run in the garden and climb the tree. Sheltered by a huge blue cedar it is a very pleasant spot, especially as for us, in the sunshine. And after all that the price was very reasonable. Highly recommended.

This lovely restaurant is an absolute gem.It ticks all the right boxes for pleasant decor, cleanliness, ambience etc, but more importantly, the food is divine My partner and I nipped in for a quick bite and indulged in the bargainous lunch menu (two courses for £10.45). We were both delighted by the quality and freshness of the dishes.I had sea bass with a wonderful wine and butter sauce and fresh vegetables, which was perfect. Even the delicate ribbons of carrot were scrumptious - and I've never enjoyed carrots before.Pudding was an elegant and rich panna cotta with red berries, it was truly heavenly .My partner had a chicken liver paté to start with, and the chicken main course. He was very pleased, and is anxious to return for further treats.The lady who served us was charming and very cheerful and courteous.If you're in the area, don't miss La Famiglia, and if you're not in the area, make the journey - you won't regret it!

Modern, English brasserie, using locally sourced produce and seasonal ingredients. Fine wine and local real ale.
Stopped for an early dinner, had the Burger and thrice cooked chips, the little one had the childrenâs chicken and chips. Burger was delightful, highly recommend! The chicken wasnât your typical breaded finger, a lovely, well cooked chicken fillet with crispy, thin fries. I will be returning.

Returning again for an evening meal with family it was reassuring to see that nothing in the quality and service provided had changed. This small but very friendly restaurant never fails to maintain its overall quality with a pleasant dining environment. Nothing is too much trouble for the chef or the management and it is a pleasure to visit and enjoy the experience of being well looked after again and again

Visited after being recommended, family dinner. Excellent standard of cooking with interesting use of locally sourced products with high level of technical skill. Excellent seasoning and presentation. Excellent friendly service. This is deserving of number one slot in Fareham. So happy to find somewhere to eat at reasonable pricing that cooks food from the heart with passion and understanding of food and what to do with it. Good selection of wines and beers, menu just the right size to give variety for all and allowing the chefs to express themselves and their skills. Well done, we will be back.
