Askews

Tucked away in the heart of Southsea, Askews has become something of a morning legend among locals who know their way around a proper breakfast. With a spotless hygiene record and a reputation that has spread by word of mouth rather than fanfare, this place quietly delivers the kind of start to the day that makes you want to linger over every mouthful. It’s the sort of spot where the coffee’s always hot, the service comes with a smile, and the kitchen turns out plates that feel both familiar and elevated.

The menu leans into classic breakfast territory with a confident hand—think perfectly fried eggs, streaky bacon with just the right amount of crisp, and sausages that actually taste of something. Hash browns arrive golden and crunchy, while the toast is thick-cut and buttered without restraint. It’s straightforward cooking done with real care, and that’s exactly why people keep coming back. Whether you’re grabbing a quick bite before work or settling in for a lazy weekend feast, Askews serves the Southsea postcode with warmth and consistency that’s hard to beat.
