My fiancé and I picked up some sparkling drinks and three types of cheese - and sat down on a bench outside, listened to the chatter of the nearby restaurant guests and REALLY enjoyed our cheese together! I'm sure the cheeses change constantly, but I loved a cheese I got with spring onions/chives in it. Highly recommend this place if you visit Portsmouth!

I loved that place. But, I go there for the food and not the location. I personally do not like their salads and have almost all. Way too vinegary for me and I love vinegar. But, to each his own! Yes, the business has gone through some changes... They got rid of a really rude deli chic. They do not have independent vendors for each station. We are in post Covid times. It is possible that they are doing their best to stay open, so cut them some slack! Many are struggling and still many do not want to work! They are doing their best, I'd imagine, to keep open.
