Southsea's Pie and Vinyl

Sunday brunch, and what a munch!

I attended with my daughter after looking for somewhere local serving quality food, the menu is small but simple and versatile, options for meat eaters, vegan, vegetarian and everyone alike.

Everything is freshly made onsite and prepared with love, the staff were friendly but not imposing, very helpful with explaining the menu which has extensive add-ons without being extreme, they just allow you to build your meal your way, My daughter had the minted lamb pie with mash and peas and gravy, she enjoyed it but noted that having minted pushy peas and mint an lamb pie was too minty, something she can correct next time and no reflection on the quality or niceness of the food, i had the Jackfruit pie with mustard mash, minty mushy peas and gravy with crispy onion and cheesy topping, wow, a real journey in the mouth, a journey, each mouthful was an explosion of flavour, the portion size is very generous, turn up hungry if you order and be prepared for musical journey in your mouth, the atmosphere adds to the experience, being surrounded by the nostalgia of talented musicians in the form of sound, really nice music playing in background and visually, your surrounded by iconic figures in photos, records (Vinyl) and musical ambiance, the tables and chairs are quirky interesting and full of historic life.

Oh and tea in a Pot, with China cups, you cant go wrong, attention to detail is well thought out and enticing, screaming out care, love and thoughtfulness.

The menu is fair priced and excellent value for money.

Both my daughter and i agreed that it was a highlight of the area and would return solely to dine here, that was the power of the venue, quality & tastiness of the food, and fine standard of staff.

Thank you thank you thank you.

Fascinating 🤔 odds and ends.. blast's of the past set in a small compact area that delivers a nostalgic theme.. vegan gluten free 😄 well done 👍 pretty much all good 😎

This is an unbelievable spot. The food is amazing, and the general vibe is lovely. Service also great, one of my favourite spots in Portsmouth

What a great treasure this place is. The meals are gorgeous and many are 'naturally' gluten free with vegetarian and vegan options also available to cater for everyone. Really lovely and friendly service to boot.

A great array of vinyl - along with a system to request a record that they currently don't stock - is just the icing on the cake.

Thoroughly recommend for lovers of pies, vinyl and friendly local businesses.

It's been some years (2017) since our last trip to Portsmouth and we were so excited to see that you were still open! So, you were our first stop into town and like before, we weren't disappointed.

I had the Moo & Blue this time and it was great. I usually have a vegetarian pie and those options today all looked good as well. The Englishman, hubby had the Porksea Islander, tasty and we shared a side of mushy peas. The peas were perfect with a nice hint of mint.

The only wish I have is that you had wine to go with the meal, but heyho we'll be back again and hopefully not so many years between visits.

Thanks from the American living in Spain and hubby!

Never been/ eaten anywhere like it! What an amazing little place. A great variety of pies whether your a meat eater, veggie or vegan. Pie combinations you’ve never thought of. After eating why not have a hunt around in their shop for a vinyl or two. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend this unique experience!

Waited years to go here! (Not a local). Really super selection of records and some interesting stuff to look at, bought a Sharon Van Etten record, great service, just a perfect record shop. Cafe looked great but didn't have time to stop for a pie, certainly will next time!

Food delicious. Service with a smile and professional. Good selection of pies and Vegan Options. Love the setting. Come here whenever we can. Strongly recommend this place.

A really nice ambiance. Excellent service. A lovely range of pies, including gluten free and vegan options. And a large collection of records to browse while food is being prepared.

Quirky, interesting venue. Helpful staff. Good food.

Castle Road itself is also fascinating, with several independent shops. It's pedestrianised & due to be cobbled soon, apparently

We had a really lovely evening. Such a great place to be in while eating. Food was fabulous! I had one of the filo pies and would definitely be going back to try another!

Best place in Portsmouth!!! Best pies, best music, best staff! Totally recommend!!!! Amazing atmosphere and lovely people with great energy!!! 11/10🌟

Lovely vibe to the place, my daughter says everyone she's taken there likes it - I am no exception! Delicious traditional crust style pies with a variety of fillings and sides. Choose horseradish or celeriac mash if you're into flavours. A selection of canned craft beer available with food too. Altogether love it.

I have to drive down from Manchester at least once yearly to visit this place. Very unique, great selection of pies on the menu and all your classics drinks served either still or sparkling. LOVE IT! They even do their own clothing and merchandise!

Tables were all occupied when we arrived but staff let us know when a table became free while we were browsing for records. The moo and blue was delicious. Great pies, good selection of vinyl, friendly staff, what more could you want 👍

Great combination of Cafe and Record Store. Wonderful staff and brilliant in store album launch gigs too.

Amazing selection of pies in a friendly, quirky shop. They cater for meat lovers, vegetarians and vegans with their pies, sausages and select puddings. Limited alcohol choice, but wide selection of non-alcohol cordials, teas and coffee

Preordered a vinyl record at this store, and it was delivered fast with no issues. Great service! I'll definitely be ordering from here again.

Visited for a lunch, very quirky little place in what feels like a beautifully secluded little street with some great independent shops to look in.
Greeted by a warm welcome, we had a great table in the window (no booking available at all). A good selection of fillings for all tastes with the pies and they cater for vegetarians and gluten free and a selection of sides to go with it, the beer mustard mash is fantastic! The drinks also have a good range of cordials, teas and coffees as well as the option of beer.
Overall, a fantastic spot for a good bite to eat at a reasonable price.

Fabulous find - excellent gluten free pie and gravy - wonderful vintage feel with vinyl and great customer service.
