The restaurant also has a wide selection of drinks, with a focus on craft beers, specially curated wines and innovative cocktails with seasonal specials.

Joanna Spencer, senior brand & marketing manager from Whitbread Restaurants said: ‘Situated in a prime city location in close vicinity to the popular Portsmouth Historic Dockyard, we are looking forward to expanding the Bar + Block brand in Portsmouth, which will be our fourteenth site and our first opening in 2020.’
