Portsmouth is a city the that owners, Rob Litchfield and Phil Linnsen, know well and they are looking forward to becoming part of the community.

Rob said: “The city holds a very special place in our hearts; we were both born here and each lived in the city for many years.

“We can’t wait to integrate ourselves into the community and provide a fresh and unique addition to the vibrant food scene.”
