Down pavement steps and past a historic natural water well, Crofts is set in stunning Wine Cellars situated under Lemon Sole in Old Portsmouth

Below the sunny Lemon Sole restaurant in Portsmouth's old quarter lies Crofts Wine Cellar, a snug subterranean eatery with an extensive menu of freshly caught seafood. Original stone floors, exposed bricks and a Tudor cooking range add to the period character, while theatrical mementoes point to the vivacious owner's music-hall background. Diners who don't fancy anything from the impressive fish counter where you select your fish and advise on how you'd like it cooked, can opt for a meaty selection of non-fishy dishes. Signature dishes at Crofts include 1/2 lobster and mixed shellfish & mussels on a bed of linguine, grilled tuna topped with crab meat on a warm niçoise salad or king scallops and jumbo tiger prawns in garlic and herb butter. Service at Croft's is warm and friendly and the terrific wine selection comes courtesy of a well chosen, affordable international list. Crofts Wine Cellar has a unique atmosphere and is one of Portsmouth's most popular dining spots. Booking in advance is therefore well advised.
