Nothing short but shocking. Go there with life insurance and plently of time. First occasion the fire doors were locked. Illegal guys. 2nd occasion food was awful, 3rd occasion 5 staff working but still had to wait over 5 minutes to get served. Granted 1 was making coffee and two were dealing with customer complaints for poor food and excessive wait. You've had your chances guys. Sorry but piss up on a brewery comes to mind.

I went into the Spice Island after browsing through some menu's in the guesthouse I was staying at. I initially wanted to go there because of the location (camber dock, overlooking the harbour).

Really friendly staff, good food and good ale (Old Speckled Hen). Well done Spice Island. We will come back in the summer.

If the previous reviewer believes that there is no processed food in this place then I am seriously worried about the state of this country. This place is dire- spacious and cold hearted, there is little to offer here. Usual british pub chipped and flaking walls and poor quality furniture- beer uninspiring and run by kids. Best off staying indoors.

I came down from Surrey with my family to visit the Spice Island Inn after a friend recommended it too me. Fantastic! My husband and I as well as our children were offered a lovely window seat, The kids looked at the various ferries and ships going by which kept them entertained for ages! Food was great, especially the fish and chips, and how refreshing to see a childrens menu which DOES'NT consist of chicken nuggets and other processed nightmares! Excellent service, In fact the waitress even took the time to give us directions to Gunwharf which is a modern shopping complex just across the water. We will definantly be going back when we next visit portsmouth. ps, If you are visiting portsmouth, there is a local ferry that goes to a place across the water called gosport, don't go there, very boring!!

Big fan. Took the kids, we were all looked after by a very attentive young man, food came quickly and was generously portioned far better than i expected, had been to the still and west before, but tried the spice island and was very impressed. I will be bringing the family back here next time. fantastic views and despite a wedding reception upstairs all aspects of the service were great. Kids were kept quiet by colouring pages, always a winner.
