I attended here with some of my poetry group from Southsea last year. The staff were so friendly and welcoming, took such an interest in what type of food we wanted, I`m a Vegetarian who is allergic to Tomatoes!!! Usually I just get the rolled up eye treatment!! They had plenty of choice and suggested several dishes. They made us feel so good that when we went to the basement to read our poetry, we were relaxed and happy. What a great venue altogether!

A wonderful venue, one can partake of a delicious meal, in my case, tasty and unusual choices of Vegetarian! To a great extent, customers can design their meals. Friendly staff only too willing to talk food. The big bonus is The Basement! poetry is heard here, also music. One can relax and take in unusual culture, from modern to way out, full programme available so choose what you like, or listen to something entirely new.

I am trying to organise a group of creative writiers from my university to come to the cafe next week. I have been a few times and aways had a warm reception. I found it a fantastic experience to hear different poets read and have the opportunity to talk with like minded people afterwards.
I cannot understand why somebody would choose to come to the cafe and sit upstairs, talking loudly when people are reading, it is called the POETRY cafe after all and not a rowdy pub! I was therefore shocked at a review on this page and chose to write my own review. The bar staff have always been more than polite and the coffee is lovely. It's so nice to sit and talk QUIETLY,read, or do some writing in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere.
