Bellemoor in Southampton

This was our first visit. Service was very good. Good selection of drinks. Food was week prepared and attractively served. Overall ambience was relaxed. Would definitely visit again.

The food was good but I had a piece of red hot pepper in my chicken goujons and we didn't realise it was a sports bar!!!

Very nice food served by friendly staff.

A warm welcome on entering with a good atmosphere. Great service from all the staff, big thank you to Craig for taking good care of us. Excellent food, would highly recommend. Will have no hesitation in returning.

We visit the pub regularly quiz night birthdays Christmas summertime staff work so hard so pleased with the service the pub gives thank you looking for the 12th of January celebrating my birthday

Every time we come here the food and service is really good. Parking is limited so best to try and find a place in the road, where parking is free. You can get waitress service in the restaurant area (best to book for this), or order at the bar for eating in the bar area. This is a very popular place to eat. In fine weather we've sat outside to eat, but it's in a busy road so a bit noisy. PS if park8thing in the car park, remember to enter your car details at the bar.

Would definitley recommend. Have eaten here a few times. The burger is good and service is always good too. Friendly staff and good atmosphere

We had a great breakfast here. The food was spot on and the service was so good it stood out. Happy to recommend.

I came in to celebrate my friend finishing her PhD and had a great time. Food and service was amazing and a very Christmassy atmosphere. Steve served me and was great!

Excellent food and the service is just as good

I was asked to call to confirm booking meals has been received via the app. I tried 15 times over a week before someone called me about some food shortages, meaning some of the party had to consider other options. That's fair enough it happens. On arrival we were one chair short for the booking but then when the starters came out they cooked for a party member we had already cancelled by phone and email. So would have been two down. We were asked by three members of staff if we wanted drinks. Ordered them the first visit so didn't need on 2nd or 3rd. This was in a very short time frame not over the whole visit. Starters all arrived OK, not counting the additional one. We agreed to go ahead to have the main meals prepared. Waited 15 minutes and someone else came and asked if we were ready to have our meals plated. Explained we already had agreed this with another. Another 15 minutes and someone else came and asked the same thing. At this point no mains had arrived and we weren't convinced anything had been done. One of our party finally went to ask at the bar and was then told by someone else they were being plated up. We decided to say yes to puddings as soon as the mains arrived as didn't want another 30 minute wait and repeat questions after the meal. One of team leaders was very understanding and did comp the drinks and extra discount but still not somewhere i would recommend to anyone with gusto...

Met with a friend, had dinner and bottle of sparkly wine and enjoyed a catch up. Lovely evening good food and great location

Overall a very good pub/restaurant had a great time with friends - good food.

!" of us had an excellent Xmas meal yesterday. What a busy team!! Yes, issue with the table but sorted by Manager Craig. All the staff were polite and helpful. Food was a tad late but perfect, worth the wait. No queues for drinks. Really great experience. Thanks to the Bellemoor staff, Happy Christmas

This is a cosy local pub with great atmosphere. Lots of locals here and a great selection of draft ales and ciders. The toilets are clean. The only down side is how expensive and disappointing the wine is. I was informed he house Malbec was sold out so was given a bottle of 2023 mendoza. We paid £23 for a £5 worth bottle of Malbec that had vinegar taste and gave a big headache. I also often have to ask for a new glass when I come here here because you get a hot a wet one with lipstick stains. I think you can do better…Or perhaps charge less for this sad wine. The manager was nice and took photos for us after this shift.

Love this pub! Food is always good, i’ve had most things on the menu and all very good. Kids meals are also good. Staff are very friendly and give brilliant service every time i visit. We had breakfast with Santa 9 adults and 5 children! The service and food was still brilliant even at the busiest time of the year. Highly recommended.

We were seated quickly and our orders taken the drinks and food arrived quickly .The food and presentation was excellent and the food tasted amazing the best roast we have had in a long time .

The bellmoor Shirley is a great pub to go too. The atmosphere and people makes it what it is. They always have quizzes or things going on for entertainment and going above and beyond for service. Plus there sunday roasts are to die for. Would recommend to all.

Great pub with friendly staff and good atmosphere. Food came within a good amount of time and the staff accommodated the 7 children we had between ourselves and our friends

Only 2 of 3 starters arrived The staff ask for extra drinks and walk off when one person said anything he did not wait for the other guest to ask

I've been playing poker here every Monday for 12 years I recommend

Great atmosphere, plenty of seating inside and outside. Good food and beer selections, as well as other beverages available.

We haven’t been to the Bellemoor as a family for over a month now. We are regulars. Yesterday and today we as a family had to spend long days at the hospital so we decided to book to eat there this evening 23rd November. When entering the pub the staff are welcoming and attentive especially as it was very busy this evening. All staff behind the bar and waiting staff were lovely. What let everyone down massively was the food. I usually take pictures of everything but I didn’t on this occasion as the food came out later for myself, mum and dad although we ordered it within seconds apart from my aunts. My steak was a disgrace. Not worth more that a £5 I say!!! I asked for a medium rare it was well cooked and tough. ****I THOUGHT NO POINT TO SAY ANYTHING AS THIS IS SUPER BUSY HERE THIS EVENING***** My mum said her fish and chips her fish was very chewy and hard the peas were not cooked enough and very dry. My aunty had the same as me steak she did not like hers either. WE WILL NOT BE EATING HERE AGAIN!!! Good for an old get together for a few drinks just about!!!

Diabolical and racist, staff refused to serve me all upon the assumption of cannabis smell, two guys walk past me 20 mins after i arrive snd because they know me from school she refused to serve me, asked about the no tolerance policy and couldnt explain the actual policy. No drugs were found. No drugs were smoked. No one had anything on them but as i probably stick out from the rest being a larger guy. They insisted that it was me and my “party” i explained to them to check me if they was really invested. Really upset with this pub. Was coming here for years. One staff member who was finishing even tried to get in my face and argue with me!!!! This place needs new management or at least some re training. No wonder u never see any ethnic minority in there!!!

🥦🍖🥕🥔🥕🍖🥦 Had a Roast Dinner Turkey was ok Vegetables were nice and fresh Roast potatoes were fried I think Strawberry mini dessert was fabulous Staff were very attentive and we stayed for the pub quiz which is fabulous A good visit and a great atmosphere as always

Food great and service was excellent.nothing too much trouble

Very friendly, a great atmosphere and a delicious breakfast.

Not sure what went wrong today? Popped in for a breakfast, which we have done before and have been really pleased with the food. However today, it was served on a small rectangular plate. The fried eggs were not runny, the beans looked they had been sat in a pan simmering for hours but somehow were still served luke warm. The butter was rock hard and unspreadable! As we were having a conversation the waitress wanted the menus for some unknown reason, only to return them again, wanting us to put them back in the holder. Why this couldn't wait until we left , I don't know? The coffees were barely warm and more froth than actual coffee. Very disappointed!

We love this place, beautiful welcoming pub. We have been here a few times before for dinner as a couple. Last weekend we hosted a group event here with thirty people including children. We had warm welcome, they reserved a big enough area for us which was also pet friendly. The food and drink are great with good value for money, and the service is also very good. Additionally you can find plenty of free car parking on the street, and get a nice walk in the Southampton Commons on a nice day. We will definitely host large events in this pub. Thank you for your hospitality.

Popped to the Bellemoor as a first time patron as I was in the area for work. The place has a very warm atmosphere. Delightful service from the girls on the bar. Great ale selection. As a first time patron. I somehow missed the many signs highlighting registering your number plate for parking. Steve very kindly corrected my error days later. I will certainly be attending again in the future when I'm in the area.

Great service, friendly staff and good food at a good price

Very expensive, flat beer but vibs are immaculate

Today, Sunday 13th October, we called in with the chance of getting a table. With success we ordered a couple of drinks with roast dinners. The service was really good and the food arrived very quickly. It was one of the best roast dinners we have eaten. Definitely would recommend a visit.

Good selection of dishes. Prompt service. Reasonably priced.

Finally got round to stopping in. This pub is on a route I take often and tonight I thought yep let’s give it a try and I’m glad we did! Pulling up there is a car park to the side of the venue of which you pop your number plate in at the bar, isn’t a massive car park but there are bays outside. I’ve seen this car park full as this place gets busy. Greeted by friendly staff and our waiter was a guy called Craig, attentive, excellent customer service & made you feel welcomed. Venue is warm, well decorated and clean Insta and watched the team clear tables as customers left and clean them down - great. Food was above what I expected for ‘pub grub’. A very enjoyable burger, crispy fries and perfect onion rings. Great value for money and I will be back for another dinner soon enough. Well done to the team indeed, other pubs locally in Southampton need to take note.

The service was good, there were a variety of beers and other drinks. The main was good - I took a rump steak that was well cooked, but the side was a bit small. The dessert was average, I ordered Eton Mess, that did not have any fresh berry. Overall good experience but not excepional so 4 starts.

An excellent visit to the Bellemoor this evening. We were greeted with a friendly welcome and seated in the restaurant. Drinks flew out and options on beers clearly explained and recommendations given. I ordered the chicken burger and explained I had an allergy which was taken seriously and discussed with the kitchen. Food came out hot and the kitchen has cranberry sauce in to my delight. Craig looked after us and he did the venue proud. Great customer service, food and value for the price. Definitely will visit again

Really friendly staff. Delicious food. I had the lunchtime deal, which was really good value for money. It was presented well and served with a smile. We will be returning.

Lovely pub , great service. Roast lamb pretty good (roasties and parsnips a bit big to be crunchy).

Delicious food and drinks with quick service, reasonably priced. The staff were very welcoming and helpful. The pub had a great atmosphere and the quiz is a must, would definitely recommend!

We came along for dinner as one of my friends is getting married - the manager (Steve?) was welcoming and allowed us to bring a balloon and some gluten free wedding cupcakes (we did order ice cream to go with them). The food was lush and the service was good. It was nice to see a familiar face in Jagoda, who was doing an excellent job. So, good food, good service, nice pub - what else could we wish for!

Busy at 11pm which is good to see but not much character

Service was excellent, good food,

We asked the Bellemore to host a wake for us - the staff were incredibly helpful, the area set aside for us was perfect and the buffet top notch. Thank you to all the team. We certainly recommend you for any special occasion.

The food is ok although I was handed a steak knife for my rib of beef 🍖 witch I had to use ! It was chewy and not what I would expect from rib of beef ! Very tasty though !

Really relaxing pub. Modern casual decor, with a covered outside area to eat. The food was excellent. Great service (our waitress Soph was very attentive). Reasonable prices. Nice toilets, (with thoughtful touches in the ladies' toilets). A small car park, but on the road parking just nearby. Southampton Common is just next door - a great place for a walk. Would highly recommend.

Popped in for lunch food and service excellent

Great pub, great location for post walk drinks on the common. Atmosphere is good but, because it is popular can very busy on special occassions ie Christmas Eve or the like. Has screens for Sport and a fantastic outside area,with heaters, that is mainly undercover so even good in the rain. If you're not kid or dog friendly avoid on a hot sunny day as they'll be out in force 😀

It's a lovely pub with a nice atmosphere but when they serve the food, they then go away again to get your cutlery and condiments, just bring it before so we can tuck in! £4 for a pint of lemonade is so wrong. Like I said, lovely pub thoe.

The food took a while to come out

Good food, relatively quick service, enjoyable evening. Do recommend 👌

Nice light pub. Fast service and pleasant atmosphere.

Really enjoyed their silver award winning pie dish and loved the decor. Staff are super friendly. Highly recommend a visit after a walk in the common nearby.

My friend and I often come to the Bellemoor on a Friday afternoon (with the dog). Through me not paying attention I wrote my friend's reg plate in wrongly last time we came and she got a parking ticket ! I rang Steve at the the pub and all sorted and cancelled within 4 minutes ! Not only is our eating experience great but so is the extra service!

Haven't visited for many years - it is so much better than it used to be years ago. It is now a place I would choose to take friends; good food for dining, helpful staff, pleasant atmosphere, competitive pricing.

There were five of us having lunch here today. Parking was easy, there was a good welcome and drink orders at the bar were quick. There is a varied and good menu reasonably priced, we had four different meals and each one was excellent, the food was hot, well cooked and well presented. Good service from all staff from ordering drinks, ordering food, receiving food to paying the bill. We will certainly be returning very soon and I highly recommend all aspects of our visit. Although we did not use them there were lots of lovely tables and chairs outside which was ideal on a lovely sunny day.

Ten of us oldies met here for the first time, for our bi-annual reunion, travelling from Haslemere, Bournemouth, Christchurch and Chandlers Ford. A large round table had been reserved in a cosy recess. The waitress was friendly and efficient (tall, long dark hair) and the food was brilliant. (Some saying the gammon was the best they had ever tasted). My beef and ale pie was to die for as was the crumble, all at a very reasonable price. Free parking on site. So an excellent time had by all. THANK YOU - "We'll be back!"

We had a lovely time. The food was delicious and the waitress was funny and efficient. I forgot to put my registration in when I came into the pub and called and spoke to Bree who sorted it.

Doesn't look animal friendly. Didnt get offered any service when I arrived and sat outside.

My Mum and I had another lovely meal. The staff were really attentive. It was quite soon after opening so the pub wasn't that busy, but the staff were all keeping busy cleaning shelves and woodwork before the busy bit kicked in. Special mention to James behind the bar who took the time to have a chat with my Mum. The server recommended the pesto chicken, which Mum went on to have. She said it was really tasty. We'll be back.

Spent a great afternoon, sat outside drinking and eating with friends whilst watching the Olympics on their giant outdoor TV. Only comment - if you drive and park next door don't forget to pay or register your car at the bar, otherwise there could be an expensive fine. Great follow up customer service when I phoned to discuss the parking.

Lovely pub, good staff, food good value and very tasty

Nice food and environment. There is an outside area, dining area and traditional bar. Good food and drink options. Excellent pies!

Terrible so called nachos, one of the worst pies I have ever had in my life, the beef bourguignon came with the sadist driest piece of meat, the plate was dirty, the pint glass had lipstick on it, was served by the most miserable manger, must avoid, would be embarrassed to work here.

We stopped off for a quick evening meal and a drink on a busy Sunday evening. The wait for the food was OK taking into consideration we arrived just 20 minutes before the kitchen closed. The food itself was fine, nothing outstanding but equally nothing wrong at all. The waitress was pleasant. We did have to clear our own table to sit, but the evening quiz was in full progress at the time.

Standard Greene King menu in a pleasant setting. Tables are well spaced and there's a nice variety of comfortable seating. Food was pleasant but nothing special and service restricted to delivery of food and drinks - competent but impersonal. Overall an average pub lunch in a slightly above average setting.

Very pleasant pub, not cheap but I'd say average for a decent venue. Clean fresh friendly with good food great staff and a nice atmosphere

I have visited Tavern to try the "award winning pie" and honestly it was very disappointing the mash was allright not really creamy , tenderstem broccoli could use a bit of s&p and the pie itself, nice big chunk of pastry with granulated gravy on the side , i went for a beef and ale pie and there was literally 4 tiny cubes of beef inside the pie i doubt it was even 100g of meat inside , i would rather have this pie 20% smaller pay more and get proper bit of steak inside , unfortunately big disappointment pastry with gravy for 13£ sounds very steep flour is not expensive and it felt like the whole meal was at least 70% flour (considering mash and broccolis on the side) wouldn't come back again .

Whether for a quick coffee or a family meal for ten, food and service is always good. Food is priced fairly and the bar area is dog friendly too. Just make sure you remember to log you car registration at the bar😉.

Incredibly disappointing experience. From the moment I walked in, I felt unwelcome. The staff seemed uninterested and inattentive, barely acknowledging my presence. When our food finally arrived, it was lukewarm and bland.

Cosy atmosphere, great service, lovely live music

Good service and friendly place

Beautifully pub, very friendly staff and delicious food. Highly recommend

Really lovely place to call in for lunch. We stopped here for lunch after singing with Rock Choir at Southampton Race For Life. Very nice atmosphere and good menu.

We had a small family get together & met here for lunch. It was extremely busy due to an event going on, on the common. Luckily we had booked. The staff were really stretch but coped very well & we still had very good service. The food was delicious as usual.

Great place, super friendly staff and great banter, had crimbo dinner here before and was awesome, recently had a steak defo could of been bigger, but still love the place 💯

Dry overcooked meal. Full, little imagination

Great pub with a great selection of beers. Fantastic place to sit for a good few hours and chill, inside or outside. Staff couldn’t be more helpful

Lovely pub. On our way to Southampton for Cruise. Nice lunch. Friendly staff. Be mindful of parking, always tell staff your car details

Lovely family friendly pub. Great food and Great staff

Lovely local pub to us. Come here often. Great atmosphere, as is the food and service. James is great behind the bar too, nothing is too much trouble!

Its by far the best pub/restaurant in this part of Southampton. Our group of three were squeezed in on a Sunday lunchtime without reservation. We may have been lucky that day, but it was all very efficient and the food was good too.

Disgusting time wait. One of the meals was brought out very soon after ordering Had to ask for our other food three times. Nearly a 50min wait.

Awesome pub nice food good atmosphere highly recommended 👌

Great place, atmosphere, clean, great location if you want a refreshment/lunch after a walk round the common.

Absolutely gorgeous food! Great atmosphere. Love love love. Makes it so nice when your struggling with poorly children in the local hospital. Be proud of yourselves!!!

Just a steak and chips, But very nice, Good and simple. Tender and tasty.

Had a lovely 50th birthday meal for one of my friends, there was over 20 of us and the service and food was amazing 👏

Just went for a few drinks with a few friends. Quick service, friendly staff.

Great smile and warm welcome!!!

I have been there a few times for dinner and also for coffee. I am not impressed with with either food or drinks and it's unlikely that I would visit again. The atmosphere indoors is nice.

Good food, friendly helpful staff- definitely recommend 🙂

Young girl served us needs a chance to go further, very pleasant and attentive. Give her a chance.

Had a lovely time here with our daughter and granddaughter. But sadly it has been tainted by receiving a parking ticket, parking company have been absolutely awful to deal with! I would be careful when attending!

A good pub for food but it feels very disjointed as the bar area always seems full of people watching sports and the food seating area doesn't have much seperation. We've also been here for Christmas but the place was so packed in with tables that we spent half our time moving chairs for people to move past our table. I assume this is to maximise covers but it meant you couldn't enjoy your meal properly. We do go back here for food but wouldn't do any special occasions here.

Yet another family gathering at the Bellmoor. Staff very friendly and service at the bar was good. Food came quickly, hot and fresh, albeit not overly generous portions. Lasagna was served with a chunk of dry bread, but lasagna was pretty dry, so no dunking for a little moisture. My final purchase was 1/2 pint of lemonade. It cost £3.70! Generally nice, but not great value. We'll look elsewhere for better value.

Portion size is very small for the cost, just over priced.

Food is great, bar staff are helpful and friendly; and although they do ticket people who use their car park without entering their reg at the bar, they are also very understanding and helpful for those patrons who forget to and get a fine in the post, me!

Fish was overcooked mushy peas cold and waited ages to be served .The other meals were ok but disappointed as I had recommended the pub

Very nice pub, great decor and in a really nice location directly opposite Southampton common
