Meat Barrel - Portsmouth

The restaurant has a pleasant atmosphere and a fantastic variety of craft beers and IPAs to choose from. The decor has been recently updated, creating a wonderful vibe.

I had a wonderful late lunch at this restaurant. It looks fantastic after its renovation. The cocktails were tasty and the food was amazing, with two of my companions raving about the chicken. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming. The staff are friendly and very patient with children. I would definitely recommend this place.

I recently visited Meat and Barrel and had a fantastic experience. They continue to offer a great variety of beers on tap and in cans, which I appreciated. I went on a Tuesday for the Southsea burger club, where burgers are 50% off. Although there was a slight issue with the discount being applied correctly by my server, they quickly rectified it. The food arrived promptly and was delicious. Overall, I had a great 10/10 visit to Meat and Barrel.

Best Burgers in Southsea. Utterly delicious and consistently good no matter which you chose! My only call out is there aren’t enough staff to deliver food to the tables. Whenever we are in and it’s especially noticeable on deal nights. One guy with black hair, maybe early 30s is always run off his feet (although super polite and friendly), whilst bar staff have a chat and several others mingle to the sides. This one guy practically covers the entire floor, clearing, delivering and getting condiments. His effort is relentless and deserves acknowledgment.

Fantastic choice of great quality beers and excellent food! Ordered a flight of beers to try more, all were superb. The family loved the burgers and I devoured to louisiana pulled pork mac and cheese. Would highly recommend!
