Trinitys at haslar in Gosport

Spotted this gem on the way from the Gosport Ferry to the Submarine Museum. We were able to access their site inline and book a table within a half hour. The host seated us on the foredeck and was quickly back with menus. Drinks and food orders were taken soon after. Malvec was excellent! Food was delivered shortly, by the waiter for our section. Grilled sea bass was perfectly cooked and the roasted broccoli must have just come from the farmer's market! My husband has done a comparison of fish and chips and likes their fish best! Great job, Team Lightship!

Nice find for a drink, lovely views of the solent from the Ship or sit in the decking area for a relaxing time.

Very poor service, left waiting 20mins with no drinks order taken, they were not busy, ended up going to the bar myself. Several starters and mains unavailable at 8pm on a Saturday night but not mentioned until the order taken well after 8pm with 20 minute minimum wait advised post taking order. Been a berth holder at Haslar 15 years only been twice won’t be going again. Let’s hope these jokers don’t run the new restaurant otherwise it’s a wasted investment Boatfolk.

Unfortunately a poor experience. No one to greet you. Shown to table. After a little wait. After 15 mins no one came to get order. Had to prompt them to take order. No drinks arrived no starters arrived. 45 mins and nothing. Other tables were being given free drinks for waiting so long. Sounded promising looked promising from the website. But awful service.

Great venue, great for drinks, the new jetty decking area is a brilliant idea. I hope to see some live music out on the decking, would really give the place a great ambience.However, I ate there last week. I was disappointed to find the food was quite underwhelming, especially considering the price. It wasn't bad but wasn't great either.

Lovely place really enjoyed ourselves, and drinks were reasonable priced to! Will definitely be going back again.

Great restaurant for small to medium sized events. Excellent service and very accommodating staff/owner.

Our first visit was excellent with great friendly service and great food. 4 **** for that visit.This time it was poor. What has happened?Our dishes came along at different times, were given food we did not order, had to chase food that we did order, had my wife's food cleared away before she finished and I had to send mine back. This was, to be fair, replaced with another dish straight away.The food was however very nice and well worth eating !The service was at best chaotic and felt like it needed two more staff serving.If you want to be a café style restaurant, then please charge accordingly and not the prices you charge for the service we received.We will come along again and I will change this review if things have improved.

First time back since the refit, looks lovely and fresh. They have a great tapas menu and a wide range of gins. Staff are friendly and very welcoming. It’s the place to come to unwind and watch the boats go by.

Another hole in one from the group behind Trinity's! We got to find out about this restaurant from a visit to Trinity's @ Haslar (formerly Hardy's) although I've been aware of the lightship for years. My wife Jenni phoned for a reservation and we were accompanied by my Mother-in-law and Jenni's best friend. You need to gain entry to the marina to visit but it's well worth the extra step to eat on a lightship!Inside the stern cabin is spacious with bench seating and well lit. There is a bar through to the fore ends and also upper deck seating outside.The menu is predominantly seafood with choices for tapas and steaks from the grill too. I had the seafood chowder to start which can also be ordered as a a main. It was really flavourful and very filling, if you weren't greedy like me that would be enough food for most people! They weren't shy on the fish and mussels either with both in plentiful supply.For my main course I had the daily special which was half a dressed crab and frites. I am a huge fan of crab so it was an easy choice. We were lucky to get a time of year where the catch was so well portioned, Jenni had mussels in white wine and cream and they were enormous!I would say the menu is not exceptionally large but if you eat here it's the experience of sitting in the cabin and having a good chat, watching the harbour than just merely eating and leaving. The staff were really friendly and accommodating, it is essential you make a reservation if you are from out of town!Trinity's Lightship would be a nice to place to visit at anytime but I recommend the evening when the light gets low, that's the best time to be eating by the sea right?
