About This Kitchen

London Road through North End is Portsmouth's longest commercial high street, serving a dense residential catchment of terraced Victorian housing. The demographic is working-class and family-oriented, with a strong local pub culture. North End sits on the main bus corridor connecting the city centre to Cosham, ensuring steady footfall throughout the day.

A no-frills community pub on London Road that does exactly what you'd expect: reliable trade from loyal regulars, a busy beer garden in summer, and a landlord who knows every customer by name. The pub has been here for decades and the local following is genuine.

There's no food at all currently — not even crisps behind the bar since the supplier contract lapsed. The regulars have been asking for a food offer, and the landlord is keen to find someone who can provide one. The kitchen was used by a pie and mash operator three years ago and the basic infrastructure is still in place, though the landlord replaced the range in 2025. North End is a value market. The customers here aren't looking for truffle oil and sourdough — they want good portions at fair prices. A classic comfort food menu, fish and chips, or a solid burger offer would do well. Delivery demand in the PO2 postcode is steady, driven by the dense terraced housing that stretches back from London Road in every direction. The low base rent makes this a genuine low-risk entry point. If the concept works, the landlord is open to extending hours to include lunchtime service.
