Coffee in Portsmouth
Found myself in Portsmouth and in need of coffee
The only cafe I knew of closed up shop a few years ago, which is how I eventually ended up at Hunter Gatherer in Albert Rd Southsea.
A speciality coffee shop for those that take their coffee seriously and know about these things. But it was the unassuming lemon drizzle cake that did it for me. Something so simple, done just right.
We also had the matcha green tea cake which was interesting.
Interesting enough to ask about and help myself to a cheese and leek ‘soos’ roll. That is when the penny dropped and I realised Hunter Gaterer also specialise in plant based food. Which if their cake is anything to go by deserves another look.
Chichester’s original
Chichester’s original vegetarian and vegan friendly restaurant can be found at the far end of North Street.
Offering homemade and freshly prepared hot lunches they are strictly vegetarian and allergy friendly. With celiac, dairy and nut free menu options.
As well as lots of delicious vegan dishes, hot soups and cool crisp salads.
There is a walled garden and patio for those perfect summer days where dogs are also welcome.
No better excuse needed to try the cakes and pastries with a refreshing Elderflower Press on a good day.
