Why I love being a food and drink reporter

The News, Portsmouth

I've worked for The Portsmouth News for the past two and a half years and have found a love for food and drink in the city. Portsmouth is a thriving hub of restaurants, pubs and bars. We will be celebrating food and drink  this September.

00:00Hi, I'm Sophie, and I work for the Portsmouth News, which is part of National World.

00:06I am a food and drink reporter, which is as good as it sounds.

00:12I focus on food and drink places in the city and its surrounding areas, and boy, we have

00:19some places.

00:20We are such an amazing city when it comes to food and drink, and I think everybody rises

00:27to the occasion every single time.

00:30We have people coming in to the city throughout the year.

00:33Tourism for food and drink is exceptional, and I always feel really blessed when I have

00:39the opportunity to go and meet business owners and people that are working in the industry

00:44in the city.

00:47The city has so many amazing food and drink places, whether it's cafes, bars, restaurants.

00:56I think that the thing that sets Portsmouth aside from everybody else that's a little

01:01bit different is there is something that suits everybody.

01:05We have dog-friendly places, we have family-friendly places, there are immersive bars, we have

01:11a pirate-themed bar, we have a horror-themed bar.

01:14We as a city have so many different food and drink venues, and we are kind of known along

01:21the coast for being a massive food place, a food area.

01:27We bring in people for the food, and I'm not complaining.

01:31We are so lucky to have some incredible food and drink places, and that is why I love working

01:39in this city as a food and drink reporter.
