Taste Your Way Across The Stunning South Coast
Few UK cities pack this much coastal flavour into such a walkable area. From the city centre and Southsea’s seafront, to indie markets and Old Portsmouth’s stunning, historic harbour views, Portsmouth is a weekend you can taste.
Morning at Gunwharf Quays, Old Portsmouth and Southsea Seafront
Enjoy a cinnamon bun on the deck at The Fossil Thief or a coffee with a view at the Spinnaker Tower in Gunwharf Quays. Stroll the Millennium Promenade through Old Portsmouth and the old fishing quay. Then on to Southsea Castle and Solent views at The Briny.
Afternoon at Southsea
Hit the bi-monthly Southsea Market, for street food and makers. You can pick up Pauline Macarons, check out Portsmouth Tea by Tea Mountain and try The Biltong Merchant’s tasters and more.
Golden Hour at Eastney
Book a late afternoon tour and tasting at The Portsmouth Distillery in its historic coastal location, followed by supper at The Akash in Southsea’s bohemian Albert Road, or dive back into the city centre for Natty’s Jerk if you’re still chasing spice.
