Highbury Cafe Ltd — Restaurant in Portsmouth

I'm from out of town and have eaten here 3 time and today was the last. 1 vist i had ham and cheese omelette cooked and burnt on the griddle. and chips salad. 2nd visit roast beef dinner edible pre cooked roast potatoes and microwave veg didn't even bother eating looks like it has been dished up out of a dryed up saucepan. 3rd visit today egg sausage tomato mushrooms and bubble and squeak.

Everything was cooked perfectly - soft yoke eggs, crispy but not tough or fatty bacon, lovely black pudding & has browns that weren't dripping in fat. Delicious 😋 This was our first visit & we were introduced to the owner Ozzy, who clearly, knows how to run a good cafe. We will return & I highly...
