what, no fresh seafood near by?

can't list any good eateries for when i visit in a few years 

[Simon]

Best advice; visit G&P then make a quick exit to Gun Wharf !

@madmonday:

The Kitchen, The Superintendent's House, Flagstaff Green, Gosport.

I assume you'll be staying a couple of floors up from there, so seems simplest…...

There is also a Morrisons and an Argos (both open on Sundays)

And a benefit office that simply heaves on a Friday (KFC next door)…..

Fish/seafood market? A chance to buy some decent oysters would make the trip worthwhile as far as the wife in concerned

Portsmouth Fish Market? @Alex

[Alex]

@UnTucked There are two 'real' markets in Portsmouth, the more central of the two called Vivers, the other Johnstones. Viviers is right in between Gunwharf Quay and Old Portsmouth, by foot, and right outside a nice bar/bistro called the A Bar.

@Mister_Brue much obliged!

Have fun! It’s like Denim Euro Disney. It’s the worst of the parks but still kind of fun.

Day off, visit the Gosport shop tomorrow?

Hi,

Asking IH staff and generally people living in UK.
I will be landing at Heathrow tomorrow at 12:20, and I am free for the rest of the day, do you think it would be feasible to catch a train and visit the IH shop in Gosport? I see that the shop closes at 17:45. As far as I see it is a 2 hour train ride, so I might be there between 3 or 4PM.

Thanks.

[Giles]

Very feasible, but travel from Heathrow to Gosport by public transport is not easy. Drop a note to shop@ironheart.co.uk to discuss.....

Thanks @Giles
Just sent them an email.

@nickname a friend just arrived today to Portsmouth from Heathrow and took a national express coach and said it was easy, took an hour and a half and less than £20. Worth checking out as the bus station is next to the ferry to Gosport and then just a fifteen min walk to IHUK.

@nickname Just a heads up that I’ve moved your post to the Gosport thread.

[seawolf]

@goosehd You run a tight ship!

[goosehd]

@seawolf I take that as a compliment, although some might not agree.

[seawolf]

@goosehd It was meant as a compliment for sure! I love how tidy you keep things around here.
