We are an independent Kitchen & Tap House located in the heart of Southsea. Our name derives from Thomas Croxton, who built the first houses in the area around 1809. The area subsequently became known as Croxton Town, but in 1857 the town’s name was changed to Southsea, after King Henry’s Southsea Castle.Located in the old Southsea Post Office we offer craft beer, cocktails, wine and spirits, along with award winning food inspired by our travels from around the world. Our Sunday lunch was awarded best in the region after a national search held by Unilever Food Solutions, and in 2024 we were voted “Best Casual Dining” venue in Hampshire & IOW as part of the regional and national awards hosted by Muddy Stiletto.

When we started out in 2017, we were cheffing up from the courtesy of our home in Portsmouth. It was all great fun and games until customers started showing up to our house for food collections… From there, we took a leap of faith, and a few box meals later, we had our very own market stall on Commercial Road. This was big for us. It was the first time we could connect with the community on a 1:1 basis and actually see customers fall in love after that first bite. Naturally, the food did it’s job, and as word spread, our small gazebo became a local sensation, bringing people together over plates of smoky and spicy delights.Spicing Up the CommunitySince 2017, our "fambily" has been serving up a modern twist on Jamaican cuisine and the community has been our rock. Come down to our 'Shack' in Portsmouth to experience where it all began and feel the vybez!

Dined on 31 May 2026
Sunday lunch for five and the weather was good enough to sit outside in the garden and enjoy the views of the Solent and Isle of Wight. The food was lovely and well presented. My husband and youngest son enjoyed a dirty burger and chicken burger respectively, my middle son and his wife enjoyed a selection of small plates and I enjoyed a beetroot and onion tart. My only gripe was that mine wasn’t overly filling but it was absolutely delicious. Our server was polite, attentive and an absolute delight and we weren’t hurried in any way. We have dined/drank at the Alverbank a few times over the years and it never disappoints. We will definitely be returning. Thank you.
