"They offer 12-inch and 20-inch sizes (the 20-inch is massive—enough to feed four people!). They also have sides, and their garlic dip comes in a huge pot for just £1; it's way tastier than what the competitors offer! The only downside is that they only deliver to the PO7 and PO8 areas, which is quite frustrating. However, I'm more than happy to pick it up every time. If you're in PO6, they might want to consider adding that area to their delivery zones as well. Overall, this is epic, authentic pizza—you're not going to find anything else like it anywhere in or around Portsmouth!"

"This restaurant continues to impress with its excellent food, making it the go-to spot for an authentic Indian cuisine experience on the South Coast. Their BYOB policy also makes it quite affordable. Food: 5 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 4"

"Friendly little gem of a pub! We were welcomed back by Louise, despite it being our first visit! Which was actually nice! Pub was fairly busy, but plenty of comfy seating and reasonably priced homemade food. We both had lasagne and the portion size was very generous and the side salad was one of the best I have ever had. They even added a salad dressing! Despite being full up, I still made room for a mint chocolate ice cream, that was delicious! A friendly well decorated pub with friendly staff and luxury hand wash and lotion made this visit wonderful and one that we will be repeating very soon, hopefully! Thanks Helen Charlie"

"My young daughter and her friend have just visited the Deck and spent over an hour awaiting their order. What should have been a pleasurable experience was in fact not so nice. They left having witnessed the adjacent table being reimbursed for their wait. Yet they waited longer to be served. They paid the bill without saying a word as embarrassed youngsters do (15 17 year olds) As teenagers I’m sure that you’ll agree that money is hard to earn and precious to them. But the service is also a key factor irrespective of age. Really disappointed that what was to have been a special treat, which they had saved up for, ended up being a long wait and more expensive than planned as they ended up buying extra drinks to fill in the time. No response from the deck when I emailed them to advise them our dissatisfaction!"

"This was probably the worst Sunday lunch experience ever. I went here with my son and grandson and probably waited 10 minutes to just find out if they had a table for us. That should have been a warning sign as it didn 't look very busy. We were then shown upstairs by a friendly waitress to our table, we then waited another 15 minutes before she came to ask if we wanted drinks, we told her we also wanted to order food at the same time as we had a 2 year old with us. There were 2 other tables with people at them. The drinks arrived and then a while later the food arrived. I couldn 't quite believe what was put in front of me, it was nothing more than a pasta bowl with some obviously frozen veg that looked terribly soggy, this had strangely been arranged around 3 miniscule Yorkshire puddings that were the size of table spoon, on these were bits of potato that were hardly recognisable as roast potatoes and my son said perhaps they bring the potatoes separately I pointed out that the potatoes were already on the plate. The beef looked overcooked and was completely stone cold. The child 's roast for my grandson at £10 was so dreadful that we couldn 't even cut through the chicken as it was so tough. The plates were cold and so was all the food, even if the food had been hot it looked so disgusting I wouldn 't have wanted to eat it. As gravy had come in individual pots, i dipped my finger in to see if that was even hot and it was only tepid, it tasted so strange and nothing like gravy. As my son continued to try cutting his child 's meat, I told him I couldn 't possibly eat this as it was inedible to which he then agreed. The people on the next table overheard us and said theirs was also disgusting with frozen broccoli almost a puree. I 've had better food in hospital and school dinners. I can 't imagine who was in the kitchen but it certainly couldn 't have been a chef. Whoever has provided positive reviews recently can only be friends of the people running this pub now as nobody in their right mind could find anything positive about the food, it truly was disgusting. We told the waitress we were leaving as the food was cold and disgusting, she asked us to pay for the drinks that we hadn 't drunk, we had ordered wine to drink with our meal. It really was a terrible experience. The couple who ran this before the last people were great, the food was exceptional and so was the service, my son said she was French. We will not be stepping foot in The Sussex Brewery again. £17 for a roast that even the dog would have turned his nose up at. A real shame as my son lives just round the corner."
