The Lightship

About

The Lightship at Haslar Marina is a unique destination, offering a drinks and dining experience aboard a lovingly restored 1940’s lightship.  
Formerly the Mary Mouse 2, she was a guiding light to ships travelling of the coast of Portsmouth; a true beacon of the Hampshire coastline.  
This magnificent vessel has now been reimagined for a modern-day audience, welcoming visitors from land and sea to soak up the vibrant atmosphere and enjoy unparalleled views of the Solent from her home in Haslar Marina.  

The food menu has been carefully crafted by the head chef Jamie Fagan, with the finest ingredients including fish and meat, which have been sourced locally within the Hampshire area and served in its freshest quality. The drinks menu features the most exquisite cocktails made with spirits from local distilleries and wide range of wine, offering the most flavourful blends to go with any dish.  

The restaurant is split into 3 areas: fore deck, mid deck and top deck.  

The fore deck area is available for a la carte dining, which is weather dependant due to being outside. Mid deck offers seating for a la carte dining and drinks with gorgeous interiors all around, whereas the outdoor top deck offers dining from the chilled deli cabin including locally sourced charcuterie, cheeses and fresh seafood to share. There, you can overlook the stunning views of Haslar marina and the lively boating activities in the Solent waters, whilst enjoying drinks from the fully equipped top deck bar.  

If you are in the area for a longer stay, The Lightship has 10 large private, luxury hotels rooms  situated within Haslar Marina, suitable for business trips, friends and families. Or if you are travelling by boat, berths are available just outside of the restaurant.  

From sundown cocktails on the top deck to intimate dining in the restaurant below, this is a place where lasting memories are made, captured and shared.
