The place is spotlessly clean, tastefully decorated, child friendly and most importantly serves amazing food. We went back quite a few times. We tried a lot of dishes and every single one was delicious. They are famous for the award winning crab cakes but there is so much more to enjoy here. The fish and chips, the crab avocado crayfish stacks, the seafood medley, the seafood salad, the crab sandwiches. I could go on and on. (Tip: try their wonderful choice of prosecco- a stunner!)

It overlooks a busy bit of sea; one can watch ships in the distance entering and leaving Portsmouth and Southampton with local sailing boats racing in the foreground and the perennial small lobster catching fleet always busy.

Well, it was a good thing we did, since we didn't get to go back for afternoon tea... Just as the name suggests, it is located right by the canal. It was very picturesque, peaceful and relaxing. They also have seating upstairs, and had histories on the canal, with photos posted all around the wall. Their cakes looked amazing, but I decided not to order any dessert on this day. Yes I know, a big mistake! Our friend ordered Heavenly Hot Chocolate, and it looked so pretty! We went with Teashop House Blend Tea, and Earl Grey. The young boy who brought the teas (I hear this is a family-run business) was trying to very careful not to mix them up. But the funny thing was, he totally mixed the tea up! LOL. We didn't realize until half way through... I thought the House Blend tea tasted so much like Earl Grey. For lunch, we had Ham, Cheese & Chutney Sandwich and Eggs Benedict. They were both tasty, nice portion, and filling. Our friend went with something healthier, and ordered one of their vegan sandwiches. It is nice to have that option if you want or need vegan dish. We had a nice quick lunch here. It was adorable and cozy. The food was good, not amazing, but good. I think the sweets might be better than the actual food...I will never know, unless I go back! Lesson learned: don't never expect your plan to go just the way you planned them...and have your dessert first!

The cafe itself is huge and has plenty of seating including two settees and three armchairs and coffee tables. This cafe is very dog friendly. There is a varied menu but reduced in the winter months. The specialty though is their made to order stone baked pizzas. They open until 8pm in the summer but close early in the winter months especially during poor weather when no customers are about.
