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.

Customer Review Summary

Reviewers most often point to the five small plates, which several say arrive larger than expected, with the cheese souffle, padron peppers, stuffed mushrooms, beef croquettes and arancini named as standouts. The Sunday roast and wine list also draw praise, along with service and a welcome for children. One Mother's Day diner gave a mixed account, describing vegetables arriving within minutes of drinks being served.

    “We've not been here in a long time and believe the business has changed hands since our last visit. The service was excellent, we received a warm welcome and excellent service, even though the staff were busy they were very attentive. We visited on a Sunday so they only have roast dinner but a good selection. The food was well cooked and a really good portion, the vegetables were really nice and the Yorkshire pudding was huge ❤️. We had a dessert to share it was delicious and the ice-cream was really good quality and definitely worth having an extra scoop if you like ice cream. I would definitely recommend visiting. I'm hoping to get back for the weekday menu.”

    “My husband and I had a wonderful Sunday lunch at The Marmion House in Southsea. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt welcoming and relaxed, and the staff couldn’t have been more attentive. Our meals were beautifully cooked, full of flavour, and arrived piping hot. It’s clear the team takes real pride in what they do. We left feeling happy, well-fed, and already talking about when we’ll be back.”

    “An absolute feast for the eyes and belly! What a delicious dinner we had. The padron peppers, stuffed mushrooms, beef croquettes and the arancini were the stars of the show, incredible food topped off with two outstanding desserts, the banana brioche and the chocolate tart! All washed down with red wine and espresso. The staff were very friendly and the atmosphere was fabulous for a Saturday night, highly recommended and we will be coming back, thank you!”
