This is quite a nice place. It sells some nice and colourful plates and bowls and has a cool drink despenser.
People in here are generally quite snotty though, dislike children and want peace and quite.

Whittards is aweome for funky tableware, if you want something that sticks out then this is the place to go. Whilst their prices can sometimes be quite high they often have good sales so its always worth looking out for them. The portsmouth store is in the middle of a shopping centre so has quite a busy atmosphere, the staff that work there whilst usually quite polite are distracted easily and you may be queueing for a while before they notice.

This has the best price cuts of, what I feel, all of the outlets. It has the best deals on hot chocolate 2 for one and fulfills every year my fettish. The items are really nice and I love the china sets and tea its definitely worth taking a look. The shop is well layed out and staff are friendly.

This is a lovely shop to go if you are into funky mugs and drink alot of tea and coffee. I always buy presents for my mum from here as i know that she'll really appreciate it. They sell some interesting styles of tea so if you fancy a change, check out the selection.

A really nice place to visit if you're in gunwharf with some different but nice designs on their mugs. They always seem to big on easter and normally have free tasters for different flavoured tea's.

Love the unique homeware (mugs,beakers,glasses,plates..) this shop sells as well as its delicious range of drinks (teas, fruit teas, coffees...). However, they are rather expensive, with my favourite fruit tea a hefty £5.00. Its up to you whether you are willing to pay the price for quality.

A very unique store that largely sells traditional English accessories, such as plates and various crockery. A very wide choice of drinks are also sold, with samples also available, however these drinks are very expensive and, in my opinion, not particularly nice.

I love this store, Whittards is a great place anyway, but when its an outlet whittards thats even more great becuase you get some fantastic deals. It's great for gifts, especially if you have a tea crazy best friend as I do. They do great teas, coffees & hot chocolates as well as "crockery". What a silly word that is...

This store is a piece of 'England' in the main shopping area in Portsmouth. A large selection of crockery and own-brand ice teas are on offer in this store. If you are into English Heritage then I suggest going to this store - if not, then I suggest going to it anyway for a laugh as the staff are friendly.

Quirky shop selling pretty china. I find its a good place for christmas shopping at those stressful moments when you rack your brains as to what to buy your auntie or mother in law. The prices are quite reasonable and the staff are helpful.

Whittards is always a nice shop to go into, and the branch at Gunwharf is no exception. In fact, its quite a bit bigger than the normal whittard shops, so there's plenty of china on display. There's also a wide variety of coffee and teas, and an exceptional white hot chocolate on sale; a must have!

Friendly staff, loads of tea and coffee flavours to choose from which is good. Also have a fridge with original drinks in which are really nice, I remember getting some for 50p each, they were reduced from about £1.50. I've always been pleased with what I've bought from here.

Selling kitchenware and little confectionary, like hot chocolate and flavoured tea, the prices are a bit higher, but well worth the quality given. The staff are attentive, and the designs are very attractive. Recommended.

A splash of English heritage in a particularly commercialised area in Portsmouth. The products are quaint with a large selection of crockery and even a unique selection of ice teas which is particularly nice on a day out in Gunwharf. If English heritage is an interest the shop is defiantly worth a visit.

This is a lovely set out shopo display. Displaying and selling a wide range or tea's, coffee, ice tea's and pottery. They even have a free taster machine for the ice tea which taste's lovely. The pottery is made amazingly and look's brilliant but it is extrememly expensive, but if it is quality your looking for and not a cheaper price this is the place to go and shop at for some nice pottery. The staff are quite quiet and do not help you much, but it is a very nice store none the less.

I love this shop. Plain and simple. Its very easy to spot in Gunwhard and offers many different products from Lindt Chocolate to many different teas. I often find myself buying people presents in here as its not the usual present people are expecting. It also sells tea cups saucers and infact many kitchen related items. As for price well its not too expensive but there are some lines that to me seem a bit steep.

Whittard is a wonderful shop selling very english teas and teaware items, as well as coffee and other related goods. I think its a great addition to the shopping experience at Gunwharf Quays and I love to go in and have a look around. The shop has lots to offer, with plenty of gift ideas which are perfect for family members. Great!

Ok, I am not a big tea or coffee drinker but I still can not resist this shop. The pottery and crockery is so bright and exciting, and I love the kids ranges (even have a few items myself). The pick and mix lindt chocolate section is too tempting by far and if that wasn't enough they always have a range of seasonal chocolates and gifts. This is one of the bigger Whittards I have seen and worth a visit if you like this shop.
