Quick info
About Farmhouse
Farmhouse is a pub and restaurant on Burrfields Road in Portsmouth, where table service covers lunch service and a children's play area sits on site. The menu centres on classic pub fare, with steak and mashed potato among the regular offerings. The play area draws families, and the room is set up for sit-down meals through the day. Drink and food service runs at the table, and the pub format keeps the setting informal. Lunchtime visits are common, and the play area is part of the draw for parents with younger children.

Customer Review Summary
The children's play area is what keeps families coming back, and a well cooked steak is the meal most praised, with several diners highlighting the generous portions and the value for the money. Staff friendliness runs through nearly every review, with multiple mentions of servers who were quick, polite, and welcoming, though never by name. The kitchen is the main source of complaint: one diner described both their steak and a companion's as over or under cooked, called the mash burnt, and said the replacement was only marginally better, with the manager offering no apology while issuing the refund. On another visit the food and entertainment drew simple, unqualified praise, and a few reviewers returned at least twice a month for the overall experience.

“The only good thing is the play area for the kids. Bith mine and my friends steak were either over or under cooked. My microwave mash was burnt. Asked for it to be changed and a slightly less burnt one came out. No apology from the manager when he came to issue a refund. The team seemed like that didnt want to be there overall not the best experience however will be back cause if kids play area and only that”
