Fish and chips by the sea is an absolute British institution. However, we definitely prefer eating ours indoors and with a touch of added… pizazz. Which is precisely why we absolutely love The Briny on Southsea seafront.

Taking the humble cod to the next level, and with surroundings that wouldn’t look out of place in an interior design magazine, this is THE place to enjoy a seafood feast with a fabulous view over the Solent.

Family-run and super family friendly, The Briny has seaside vibes in spring and summer and a cosy hygge feel in autumn and winter. Serving up everything from breakfast right through to dinner with cocktails, diners can tuck into all kinds of seasonal dishes, from beef & oyster pie served with marmite butter and Moules of the Day. Yep, my mouth is watering too…

Look out for special events like Jazz Sunday brunches throughout the winter months for a lively atmosphere, cocktails and always tasty foodie treats.

Feeling hungry yet? Grab the family or some girlfriends and head here for a seaside meal that will treat all the senses with sea air, seafood and sea views.
