Meat Barrel - Carta

I got uber eats with my friends and asked for extra pickles. They gave us many pickles. Whoever did this I am manifesting good karma for you. You deserve the world. I hope you have a great shift.

It was a nice and relaxing evening and the food was delicious not bad at all I don’t really have much else to say about it really the staff were ok didn’t engage with us much so can’t say much would say give it a go.

Very nice food and atmosphere when I popped in for lunch! food was good although I must say the buns used on the burgers were quite a let down, definitely will come back on special offer days to try out the rest of the menu Ver carta

Fantastic choice of great quality beers and excellent food! Ordered a flight of beers to try more, all were superb. The family loved the burgers and I devoured to louisiana pulled pork mac and cheese. Would highly recommend!

We came in for a drink and food, but there were a lot of kids running around who became very annoying very fast. I don’t mind kids in pubs, but then they are running circuits at high speed and bouncing off your seat and table there is a limit. We’ll come back again and try food, but when the crowd is a little less active!

I had a wonderful late lunch at this restaurant. It looks fantastic after its renovation. The cocktails were tasty and the food was amazing, with two of my companions raving about the chicken. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming. The staff are friendly and very patient with children. I would definitely recommend this place. Ver carta

I recently visited Meat and Barrel and had a fantastic experience. They continue to offer a great variety of beers on tap and in cans, which I appreciated. I went on a Tuesday for the Southsea burger club, where burgers are 50% off. Although there was a slight issue with the discount being applied correctly by my server, they quickly rectified it. The food arrived promptly and was delicious. Overall, I had a great 10/10 visit to Meat and Barrel.

Best Burgers in Southsea. Utterly delicious and consistently good no matter which you chose! My only call out is there aren’t enough staff to deliver food to the tables. Whenever we are in and it’s especially noticeable on deal nights. One guy with black hair, maybe early 30s is always run off his feet (although super polite and friendly), whilst bar staff have a chat and several others mingle to the sides. This one guy practically covers the entire floor, clearing, delivering and getting condiments. His effort is relentless and deserves acknowledgment.

Hands down the worst food I’ve had in years. The chicken tenders were inedible and the dirty fries were disgusting. I have been to meat and barrel several times over the years and never had an experience like this. Have the management changed? Who’s in the kitchen? Are we cutting so many corners we’ve lost sight of why we are here? I sent my food back and got a refund it was so so bad. The staff were all rude and couldn’t be bothered to serve us. It’s such a shame for a local place to go so downhill. No atmosphere, terrible food, awful staff. I will not be returning anytime soon. If you want a nice evening with good food do yourself a favour and go to Croxton’s a few doors down. Ver carta
