Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"Had an absolutely delightful dining experience at Alanco Sea Food! The food was tasty, and the dish burst with flavor. The staff were friendly and helpful. I do recommend this place to anyone looking for a great meal and a welcoming atmosphere. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐"
"I saw this place on TikTok and of course, I cannot miss trying it out when visited Portsmouth, and it was delicious! The seafood was so fresh, well-cooked, yummy sauce, and affordable price but I wouldn’t mind if there was a little bit more corn and potatoes so I could fill up my tummy . Definitely will come back, love the atmosphere here!"
"I've never been more excited to get my hands dirty. This seafood boil was so good I'm pretty sure I heard a prawn whisper, "I love you" as I devoured it. The seasoning was spot on, and everything was cooked perfectly, from the plump prawns to the tender potatoes. The only downside is I've now got to explain to my clothes why they're covered in buttery sauce. Worth every single messy bite. 10/10, would get messy again."
"Omg this place is amazing!! 3 of us travelled a long way with a booking for my goddaughter’s birthday (lobster is her absolute favourite), only to find there had been a bit of a glitch on their booking system and the place was closed for a private party. However they said they could do a takeaway instead and TOTALLY went above and beyond with everything. In all my years, I have never experienced such kindness. The food was out of this world, and we will 100% be back. From the bottom of our hearts thank you so so much, I can’t tell you how much it meant to us xx PS. The picture really doesn’t do it justice - those bags are massive. Xxxx"
"Unbelievable value for money and quality, cooked by a really nice chef who knows exactly what he's doing We went for the lobster boil and some extra prawns, it was outrageous. This is set in a nice laid back food hall with other options too. We mixed it up with some sides from other restaurants. Highly recommend this place. We will be back for sure! Easy parking around the estate!"
"Saw this place on line thought was a restaurant so called to book our party. Arrived on the day not realising it was a good hall. Basic bench seats and tables but nice atmosphere. Ordered our food, thought price was very reasonable for seafood well say we weren’t disappointed very very tasty well cooked and excellent portion size. Bib and gloves provided was an amazing experience deffo recommend will be back and try another b op L bag well done Alandco"
"Was so looking forward to this and it didn't disappoint! Drove a 3hr round trip. Had the lobster bag with an added brown crab. The different sauces were so tasty too. Loved the garlic/lemon butter sauce. Also had an extra side of potatoes and garlic bread. Brought the crab home as my eyes were too big for my belly, I got an Alandco sauce in the bag too. Worth the trip."
"Food was amazing, especially the crab legs they were our favourite, and the garlic and lemon sauce! Thank you for amazing service so fast and efficient and thank you for teaching us how to eat lobster!"
