Monty's

Initially worried as I turned up to a full bar with a sign 'Baby Shower'. I hadn't realised that they do a bottomless brunch on a Sunday, so it's possible it overran. I was directed to the room at the back where all of the other lunch customers were awaiting their menu/meals. Lovely chairs and nicely dressed tables - a boutique hotel feel. 90s pop music playing, which I wasn't expecting, but being a 90s baby this was fine (perhaps avoid if you are hungover or like a quieter space). Staff friendly and the lady on her first trial shift so efficient and confident I thought that she had been there a long time. Roast beautiful and the Yorkshire pudding perfect! You pay for what you get. Would be nice to visit again with family, but may be better during the week for them when it's a little quieter. My only criticism would be that the brunch party should have moved on before the lunch customers moved in as it felt a bit chaotic and affected service (to begin with). Looking at brunch times it is 11am to 12:30pm so a little confused why still at 2:30pm the bar was full.

Great night! Weren't planning on stopping in here, we were let down by another venue. However, service and atmosphere were absolutely fantastic. The GM is the best bartender, mixed up cocktails like an artist and is genuinely funny. Will definitely go back .

My wife and I had an overnight stay in Southsea, April 26, so went out hoping to find a decent restaurant and within minutes we found Monty's and what a 'find'! Great welcome from the front-of-house man, whom we later found out was Sonny. The food was magnificent, especially the lamb rump and my wife's vegetarian risotto very flavoursome. If you get the chance go there.
