Feast in Southampton

Basic food at a basic price … served without a smile

I think the only people who eat here are those without much choice (patients, visitors, or staff). The food is poor quality. There isn't enough seating - especially around lunch time, you often can't find any available tables. It's very "school cafeteria" style. The NHS discount is good and the only reason I eat here - it makes it cheaper than buying lunch from the nearby shops or cafés.

I’ve been here a couple times and I’ve had delicious hot meals both times. It’s definitely on the quiet side (but fortunately for me, that’s my preference). It’s a nice place for having a yummy hearty meal. The selection and flavour is reminiscent of school dinners, but I’ve always been a big fan of that kind of food.

Had breakfast here today (22 Jan)... Everything was cold except the plate it was served on... The drinks were OK.... Will not be using again

Nice staff and good food. I thought it was reasonably priced. We’ve eaten here a number of times over the last 2 weeks.

Hot food was freezing cold awful. Go to marks n Spencer cafe 1 floor up

Popped down today for lunch, only a couple of selections in mains but lots of variants to change it up. Polite staff, reasonably priced. Obviously if you’re staff you get a discount, fresh baguettes jacket potatoes salads wide choice of drinks hot and cold. It’s popular and I can’t fault it on my my experiences. It’s not the ritz it’s a hospital canteen but for what they do it’s not bad at all

Horrendous food, 2nd time of eating there. Have given it another chance. Disgusting

Honestly.... The foods not great.. proper Jamie Oliver school dinner type of food and it's not cheap either. The fish and chips on Friday is so sad it's like one of those cheap battered fillets you stick in the oven. You know those ones you get from Asda and they're 4 for £2.50. Most of the staff are lovely.

Food quality is decent. Polite friendly staff. But quantity is woeful at times. It's fine if you need something to take the edge off but don't expect a proper amount of food to be served on your plate. Most of the time it barely fills between 1/2 and 3 quarters of a plate when you buy a set meal. It makes it incredibly poor value for the price as well considering you can get a subway close by for a similar price and something that fills you nicely. They often run out of metal cutlery too and the wooden disposable cutlery is pathetic, it couldn't slice through milk if you tried. Usually good amount of seating but then I go later after lunch to avoid the rush. Choice isn't great at this time as well though just be aware, they only have one counter serving outside of normal meal times. But at least I can say its always tasted good, I've not had something taste poor or undercooked/overcooked yet.

Horrible... Been here for 5months with sick newborn baby. Baby cannot have cow's milk, so mummy cannot have cow's milk as it will get into baby. Food is always either meat or veg. No catering for glutin free, lactose free, vegan or anything not an English Breakfast. Every day I have to ask and only once or twice in five months has the vegetarian option not had milk in it. I have been living off Chips and Beans as it's all I can have. If there was any other option is eat there

Actually pretty good, don't listen to these moaning ninnies. Had fish and chips which wasn't bad at all.

The majority of the food in this restaurant is horrible. Especially the breakfast items. Overcooked, hard tastes foul. The only decent thing are the chips, and that’s if they are hot, as they usually aren’t. Having spent months in this hospital I’ve been here multiple times just incase it was a one off, but it’s almost constant. The Coffee at Paddy’s and Scott’s (next to the restaurant) is amazing, cannot fault it

Absolutely disgusting. Food looks fatty, stale and unappetizing. Service is atrocious. Not enough staff!!! For me to eat here again, you would need to pay me! AVOID!!!!

If you have to visit the hospital regularly it's worth getting to know this place. Very good value for money especially if you like a fry up. Any 5 items plus tea or coffee for less than £4. Nothing spectacular but as the staff eat here it can't be all that bad.

daytime robbery.and this is in a hospital

I have health problems (ITS A HOSPITAL). Being more or less forced to eat there between two clinics didn't sound too bad until I saw the 'menu'. As the sign said I asked for something gluten free. After the staff scrabbling through discarded packaging they came up with 1 item only. It looked disgusting and tasted worse. Skipping a meal is not an option with my medication. I had just spent a week on an acute ward where the food was excellent. I resent paying for slops. What is realy sad is that this is a hospital and at least in my case a burger would have been a lot healthier.

Salad boxes good value and very tasty

Food in the hospital main cafeteria is pretty good, breakfast is as healthy as you want to make it or the scrambled eggs on toast are great and so reasonable. The coffee area in this restaurant at the back is fantastic and puts the Costa and m&s to shame. They make their coffee well and I am super fussy. When I look at the T-shirt’s labelling the staff in m&s as baristas it’s far from the truth as they just press a button. The people in feast know how to make flat whites and cortados and are the only true Baristas. They get a five star!!

They sell these really hard wearing little leather bags. They call them 'roasted potatoes ' ... Not sure why they had them on the hot plate next to the extruded 'turkey' shapes because they are not food... They should be in the department store next to the leather handbags...
