Monty's

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.

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.

I called in at Monty's for drinks after work with my girlfriend, which turned into a full meal because the festive menu was too tempting. We had the mushroom pithivier with all the trimmings (special shout-out to the roast potatoes!), sticky toffee pudding, and a cheeseboard. The food was incredible, lovely and comforting on a cold December evening. Bar / service manager Sonny was perfect, so friendly and helpful. The festive decorations and flower / plant wall are the perfect Christmas touch

Came for brunchThe staff was very attentive, Spencer and Sonny made sure mine and my families experience was up to standard and went above and beyond to ensure we had the best service possible. Very professional when making the drinks and serving them to us, however the food took a little while to come out. Would definitely come again, staff and drinks were lovely. Apart from the food taking a while, Best brunch place ever

came for a bottomless brunch last Saturday. The service was exceptional. Not once were our drinks empty, Sonny our server took care of us throughout. We particularly liked the addition of the selfie light Sonny produced when taking pictures in front of their feature wall. We will most definitely be back!

The best bottomless brunch I’ve ever been too! The food and drink was lovely, but it was the staff that worked there who made it (particularly Sonny)! They were so attentive, and nothing was too much trouble! Our glasses were constantly topped up, as well as all the other cocktails that kept coming! Would definitely recommend this to anyone, the staff make the place!
