Quick info
About Marmion House
Marmion House is a restaurant on Marmion Rd in Southsea, built around a five small plates menu that runs through the week. Portions come larger than the small plates format might suggest, with recurring dishes such as padron peppers, beef croquettes and a cheese souffle. On Sundays the kitchen switches to a roast, offered in place of the regular lineup. A wine list runs alongside the food, and table service brings each course out as it's ready. The restaurant takes walk-ins rather than reservations, and it opens Tuesday to Sunday, closing on Mondays.

The five "small plates" for £45 draw repeat praise, with reviewers surprised by generous portions and quality ingredients, plus standouts like the cheese souffle, padron peppers, stuffed mushrooms, and arancini. The Sunday Roast and wine list also earn mentions, alongside service diners call excellent.

“Our favourite place to eat in Southsea! Sunday Roast is the jewel in the crown, with the menu throughout the week a close second! Superb Wine list, and first class service! We eat with children who are catered for in every way, nothing is too much trouble! Look out for the special events which are varied from live music nights to terrarium building with a wine!”

“Want a gorgeous, reasonably price meal with great service- this is such a find! We had 5 ‘small’ plates for £45 and did not expect them to be so large, with such high quality ingredients, and the service was perfect. Welcoming, vibing area, great food - done!”

“We'd heard only good things about Marmion House, but never actually been. Now we have, I can safely say that all the good things appear to be true and, on the basis of the lovely food and excellent service we enjoyed on our visit (thank you, Jasmine 😊), we'll definitely be back. We opted for the five "small plates" for £45, and were very pleasantly surprised to find that they were a) all delicious (the cheese souffle was definitely better than the one at Brasserie Blanc), abd b) not very small 😀. Would definitely recommend.”
