Reds Brasserie in Gosport

I don’t think anyone here particularly likes their job if I’m honest. Prawn skewers completely unseasoned, just warm and bland, charcoal bread slices, extremely slow service, no apology for the delay of over 40 minutes, waiter looked extremely sad and we felt like we were an inconvenience to even be there before we’d even asked for anything yet. We were sat there at 10pm with every other customer gone and they still didn’t come and ask us how the food was (awful) or if we wanted the bill. Won’t be coming back, would’ve asked for my bill to be cancelled or reduced but to be honest we just wanted to leave as soon as possible. We aren’t picky people, we don’t have crazy standards we just expected to eat food from someone who actually enjoys cooking, and be served by someone who actually wasn’t devastated to be there.

My sister has hired the upstairs area of Bakers Bar for her wedding reception. The staff were attentive, polite and worked tirelessly to ensure that the day was a success. They put up all the decorations before we got there when we thought we would have had to do this ourselves and they really went above and beyond. The food was well prepared and cooked to perfection. Cannot give enough praise for the staff here who really helped make the day run smoothly. Thank you!

Great location & amazing interior. Some outside seating too. (We cycled so not sure where the nearest parking is?) Only had a coffee (👍) today. Will return to sample beer & food. Friendly staff ('Kat' if I recall correctly.) Wide selection of beers & grub. Looks new. If so, someone has spent a fortune on it! 🤔.

Service is very poor here. Table of 8 people booked for 7pm on a Monday evening so you wouldn’t expect such slow or poor service, given there were only a few other tables. Had to go to the bar to re-order some more drinks (and deliver them to the table myself). Plates were not cleared off the table and we were not offered dessert. When I asked the waiter if we could see the dessert menu he told me the chef had gone home! It wasn’t even 9pm - you’d expect the chef to at least offer dessert before clocking off. Very disappointing and when we gave the waiting staff a bit of feedback they became very grumpy and stompy round the restaurant.Such a shame as I have been here a few times and the food has always been amazing (hence my 2 stars!) but I won’t come again, the service really let this restaurant down and reading other reviews I don’t seem to be alone with this opinion.

We both ordered steak, with char grilled prawns on the side. The steak was so tough that I could not cut it with a steak knife and the prawns were so under-cooked they were cold!Manager was very apologetic and polite, I think he was embarrassed by how poor the food was.Such a shame as it is in a fab location.

Food is absolutely perfect, very professionally presented

Awful Sunday lunch. 3 of us had pork belly which was inedible - tough, couldnt cut it even with a steak knife! They replaced it with beef but that was tough and tasteless too. A gammon was OK, the veg were nice and they apologised and didnt charge us. Another couple walked out without paying while we were there as their meal was so poor.

Great experience this evening, charming attentive staff, food arrived really quickly and was clearly freshly cooked and tasty. Great views interesting building as well as choice of tables with stools, normal height table and chairs or low tables with sofas and comfy chairs. Reasonable prices, good selection of drinks. Set me up for the long journey home.

Had a couple of breakfasts here. Both have been nice enough but my order has been slightly wrong each time. The first time there were items missing from my vegetarian breakfast, this was rectified quickly. Today I wanted to swap vegetarian sausages for meat ones which the server said was okay. However, on my plate were two vegetarian sausages and bacon instead. Cooked nicely so not sent back but different.

Out for family lunch today , visiting for the first time. Was met by host/waitress Rachel who was very welcoming and attentive.. We all had a lovely lunch the food was very delicious , would definitely recommend this place and lovely building & location. Lots of TVs showing sports 👍..The only downside was when we arrived in the big car park , we were told by Bakers staff you can only park in the spaces with no markings on the ground.. There is no signage directing you to the restaurant., so made if difficult to find…
