​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.

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! 🌟

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

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.

I placed a phone order and collected in 15 MINS!! Thankfully they swapped sausages for cobs, keeping it Halal! A unique flavour and & well worth the price. Thank you Florino & Anna!

Cannot recommend this place enough. We travelled an hour to come and collect our bags because we were so excited to try it - we called them letting them know we’d be slightly late, and by slightly late we mean 5 mins before they closed!! The chef serving us waited until we arrived to cook our boils so they wouldn’t go cold, working past their closing time. They absolutely went above and beyond on service. I told my partner that it’s safe to say it was one of the best meals I have ever had and will be back again very very soon!!!! Thank you AlandCo 😍

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. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Un-bloody-believable! Next level food, went for my boyfriend’s birthday meal and we both got a £35 lobster bag and it was unreal. A whole lobster, 5 prawns, 2 corn and some sausages and potatoes! We had the rice on the side that we both poured into our leftover sauce at the end, delicious. Lived in Portsmouth all my life and never even knew this place was here, seriously delicious stuff! We had cocktails from the little bar inside the building too which were lovely and well priced. Overall, lovely evening and couldn’t recommend this place more!

Wow! Ever since I had a seafood boil abroad I have been trying to find one local to me and I can now confirm that I have not only found one but it went above and beyond my expectations! Everything was amazing! I had the snow crab bag and I was obsessed, the lemon garlic butter was insane and everything else was just 10/10 😍I think I’ve found my new favourite weekend treat! I will for sure be a regular customer!

Decided to check this place out after seeing it on Google maps when in the area. DO NOT MISS! Incredible seafood boil experience! Garlic bread and chips to dip in the sauce is a must! We did one Lobster bag and added a snow crab cluster for 2 to share. Portion size was great. We both left full. There is a bar with draughts and teapot cocktails too. Very family friendly place. Multiple food options keeps everyone happy and there’s a bouncy house and games for kids.

Came here first time trying seafood, it was insane. Staff was very welcoming and nice, they helped teach me how to eat the lobster 😂, and were more than happy to answer any questions I had. Good price, good food, good people, will be coming again definitely!
