Lightship at Haslar

[PEJ]

Having had probably the worst meal and service ever in the lightship at Haslar last year I swore I would not go back.

However did I read that it has changed hands and is OK now?

A completely different experience.

We ate there a couple of weeks ago and had an excellent meal. The lady running the Lightship now has had considerable experience in and around the area running a number of establishments. I'm going to try and arrange a beer and a natter there in the not too distant future.

When we ate it wasn't even the main chef !!

I would strongly recommend giving it a try. A great location that has sadly been neglected for a long time up to now.

Totally agree with Henry's comment above - I went there on Monday - Even before you have gone through the main door - The place now smells fresh and clean and inviting.
All staff are very attentive and courteous making you feel very welcome.
I had a Pork Belly with loads of really nicely freshly cooked vegetables - orange juice and coffee all for £14.62

Both the Food and Service is spot on and IMHO gives Hardy's a very good run for there money.
A very good friend of mine Mr Ukulele who a lot of you met last year @ ECM said to me the other day we have our lightship back which mean't a lot to me being a relative new berth-holder here.

Probably one of the best places to eat in Gosport since Maria took it over. You may need to book.

You are making a habit of those..

I'm taking part this time, we're catching the ferry as we're bringing some of Helens clients over. It's a 7 mile walk from Ventnor. Don't suppose you know the name of that beach cafe to the West of Yarmouth do you? I think it's inbetween Fort Victoria and the Grange.

Is it inside the marina? How do you get access through the gate?

The one right on the beach just east of the old Fort Victoria pier? The Boathouse: http://mattandcat.co.uk/reviews/index.php/2007/06/02/boathouse (I think it has changed hands since that review and haven't used it recently myself)

Thats the one, Thank You

It is inside the marina. I don't know for sure how you get in if you don't have a boat but my guess is you press the buzzer on the intercom and tell security you want to go to the lightship. There are no gates codes, everyone is let in by the marina staff and they have a camera on the gate to check you are not an oik or a chav.

Menu has changed for winter, Duck with plum sauce was one of best restaurant meals I've eaten in long time.
