Porters Wine & Charcuterie in Southampton

Been twice in one week, absolutely amazing. Amazing service and food.

I had the pleasure of attending Porters Wine bar for an event yesterday, and I have to say that the food was excellent, the service warm and the atmosphere fun. It is a little bit out of the way, but only a two minute walk from Oxford Street, and definitely worth a visit.

My firm privately hired Porters last night and what a fabulous evening it was! The venue is a great space for a fairly intimate function. Melissa and her team were very well prepared and efficient, the wines were good and the charcuterie boards incredible. I’ve never seen so many different types of very delicious charcuterie and all so beautifully presented alongside scrumptious cheese, with dietary requirements very well catered for. I look forward to my next visit.

We served by Bess, Mel and Holly which is best and tremendous experience! They are so kind and happy. Charcuterie plate are delicious.

We had a really lovely evening at Porter’s. Holly and Melissa were amazing servers so kind and knowledgable, food was delicious, and a really lovely setting.

Fantastic food and good quality service. Cocktails were great. Bess, Holly and Thea were attentive and took care of our every need. A credit to the restaurant. We will be coming back for the next celebration.

Bess, Holly and Thea were amazing and made the experience so enjoyable ! They were extremely accommodating and the board looked and tasted amazing 🥰

Amazing place, relaxed, great wine cheese and charcuterie!! 🤩✨

We've loved Porters since it first opened and have been multiple times. Great range of cheeses and meats and the boards are so rich with a great selection of extras. It's also very good price for how much food you receive. The wine list is big and easy to find something to match your board. The cocktail choice is also big and their espresso martinis are easily the best I've had anywhere. The mint chocolate is my recommendation! It's a great place for any occasion and we've always encountered very friendly and attentive staff. If you haven't been yet... Why not? It's absolutely worth it.

My husband and I came here for bottomless brunch and we had the most fantastic time ever. Our host, Melissa was absolutely fantastic. She kept the food and drink flowing and chatted to us whilst we were 3 bottles in. We came here at 12pm before boarding our cruise and we will do it again as the experience was fab and the cruise terminal being just round the corner. The cheese and meat board was beautiful. Like I say, we can't wait to come back. £30pp and worth every penny. Thank you for having us. See you again soon.

Absolutely fantastic restaurant with the best service and such great sharing/grazing boards. Would 100% recommend if you’re in Southampton

Absolutely amazing boards, definitely can not wait to return here, such a cute vibe inside too, staff very friendly.

Great service, really amazing quality food and wine! Our waitress was very friendly and attentive, the cheese and meat boars was superb and the wine was amazing, would definitely recommend!

Lovely food great service. Really enjoyed the platter which was a choice of meats and cheeses presented with a lovely selection of salads and condiments

We love it here! Such lovely cheese and meats. The vibe is nice and chill and the staff are so lovely and friendly (Melissa & marzera)

We worked with porters to create a truly wonderful wedding reception. From the very first enquiry the team at porters took onboard our aspirations for the evening and transformed those into the most special night of our lives. The team took the time to decorate and rearrange the furniture to our exact needs. They translated our style into a wonderfully bespoke cocktail menu and charcuterie boards that really did delight our guests. Not only did the team at porters provide the best evening through incredible drinks and food but the quality of said food was unmatched. From the beautifully decorated cake; the boards of charcuterie with individually flagged names to the stunning dessert table. We honestly could not of enjoyed it all any more. If you are looking for a venue and team that can turn a truly special event into something that you will cherish forever then look no further. The team at porters have our heartfelt thanks for a stunning wedding reception that we would not change for anything.

Wow! Came here for my Birthday and I can say it's the best night I've had in a long time. Food is amazing and the staff are brilliant

Had the best 2 hours of bottomless prosecco and wine and stunning charcuterie board, Brittany and Melissa both were amazing, so attentive and polite thank you for looking after us 😊

Lovely place. Our servers Marzena and Melissa were amazing and the vibe was on point. Plus you get SO much food and it was all delicious.

I've come a few times and each, and every time enjoyed it thoroughly. If you're looking for an amazing charcuterie in southampton, Porters is the place

Absolutely excellent once again! Lovely food and atmosphere! Melissa is so friendly and welcoming! Would recommend to anyone.

I had a wonderful experience at Porters. Melissa, Brit and Marz were wonderful, knowledgeable, and social. As I was traveling alone, it’s always nice to strike up conversations with people when I’m visiting, and all three ladies were sweet and willing to chat. The fried halloumi, hummus, and camembert were fabulous. And the wine was incredible as well! I definitely recommend visiting Porters when you come to Southampton. ☺️

Lovely time just the two of us without kids, Mel and Anna were amazing. Would defo recommend! Best “bottomless brunch” in Southampton

Love both sides of Porters!! Haven't been to charcuterie for a while and remembered how amazing it was!! Thank you all for a lovely couple of hours!!

This was our first visit here. We were met by Melissa who made us feel very welcome and explained the menu's to us. After being served water and our choice of drinks Melissa returned to take our food order, she was great in explaining what was in each dish and guided us through the right choices for the right amount of food. Never under or over selling but putting the customers first, thanks Melissa. Marzena was in the Kitchen, although we didn't meet her she needs a shout out, the presentation was excellent, thanks. A lovely evening in a very warm and relaxed environment.

The bottomless graze is amazing here! The graze board is massive and you actually get to choose selection of meats and cheeses. It was also beautifully presented. The staff were really attentive filling up our glasses and you get the choice of Prosecco, white wine or red wine and can mix during the seating. Would highly recommend.

Lovely service, amazing food & wine!! We did bottomless wine and the refill wasn’t slow at all. Served by Holly & Melissa and both were so lovely :)

My partner and I love it here! We keep coming back every few months. The staff are so lovely and the food is great. Perfect variety of wines.

We did the bottomless graze on a Friday which is a two hour experience with lots of wine (Pinot Grigio or Riojk on our visit) and a sharing platter with four meats, four cheeses and accompanying goodies.

I went with my friend and had an amazing time! The food was amazing. We ended up getting a Camembert for starters which was delicious and a duo board for mains. The presentation was excellent and the atmosphere was really calm and nice. The staff were lovely. Britney, Holly and Marzena were really friendly and attentive. Would definitely recommend to friends and family. Thank you for a great time.

Great service great food lovely music .... the lady that served us Melissa was top notch .... we will be back again we really enjoyed ourselves

Porter's Charcuterie is a culinary gem, and Holly and Britney are the dynamic duo behind its success. From the moment you step in, their passion for quality and creativity shines through. The ambiance is inviting, with a rustic charm that sets the stage for an unforgettable dining experience. Each charcuterie board is a masterpiece, meticulously curated with an array of artisanal meats, cheeses, and accoutrements that tantalize the taste buds. Holly and Britney's attention to detail and commitment to excellence elevate every bite to a culinary delight.

Absolute gem in the centre of Southampton! Fantastic atmosphere, really friendly staff (we were served by Mel & Brit) and absolutely wonderful, locally sourced meats and cheeses. We licked our sharing board clean! Wine list was also great and went down a treat.

Lovely Duo platter for a very filling lunch. Great selection of British cheeses and charcuterie, shame no English bubbles or wine by the glass to accompany it

A little gem of a place, lovely platters of fine cheese and meats. Sensational

Britney was so lovely, really lovely food and great customer service. We had a loveley time with our brunch xxxxxx M Xxxxxx

Beautiful food and a beautiful atmosphere. Great service from start to finish. Great service from Melissa and Marzena.

Brilliant first visit to this lovely restaurant. We were served by Marzena, who was very friendly and explained everything to us very well. The food we had was beautifully presented and more than enough for the 4 of us. Marzena was very attentive throughout the meal, and we were all very impressed. The slice of birthday cake for my husband was such a nice touch and really made our night out more special. There was a great selection of drinks too. Will definitely come back again.

Just great! Nice setting…we went lunch time very quiet however the food was fab, I would recommend they put labels on the meats and cheese on the charcuterie board so you know what’s what!

Mel, Brit & Holly made my Mothers Day meal something special, to be remembered. So very attentive, perfect hostesses, fabulous food. We will be back - thank you for another great experience. xx

We took our mum here for Mother’s Day and it was perfect. She had the best time- staff were professional and on top form, the food was stunning and the atmosphere was ideal. Will definitely be back - cannot recommend more!

Very good, staff were very attentive to all and made us feel very welcome. Thank you very much to Mel, Becky and Holly! You did great x

What a lovely place to go. Really friendly staff and looked after well by Mel, Holly & Marzena. Thank you. We only went in for drinks this time but we will be back. The food platters that we saw looked amazing. Lovely red wine and cocktails.

Setting, service and food were all excellent. The 5 of us had a lovely time and were looked after brilliantly by Mel and Holly. We will be back for sure

Food was amazing! Staff were lovely too. Restaurant was empty on arrival at 1.30pm then quite busy when leaving nearer 4pm. Highly recommend this place!

Excellent food and service! Great atmosphere and vibe. Thank you Holly for a great experience, very friendly and welcoming. Will be coming back

Beautiful restaurant, outstanding food and amazing staff. Very good wine and can’t wait to return- Josh was amazing and so attentive - thank you Josh

Amazing service and food, our servers Mel and Brit did a fantastic job. All of our gratitude to the chef as well. Will definitely come again !!!

Second visit to this absolutely wonderful gem. Staff are amazing, so friendly and knowledgeable and nothings too much trouble. The ambiance is calming and delightful. The food is excellent and very well presented. I would recommend Porters to anyone looking for a great food experience in Southampton. Drink selection is amazing too x

For a cheese board in a cheese and wine house it was very poorly plated and styled. Random fruits and vegetables that did not go with the cheese and meets and just added space to the platter with no purpose. The cheese cuts were also all the same; cutting cheese in different styles to make them feel different helps with the styling. There’s only so much you can do with cheese and wine and that’s plating and presentation. With that wrong you might as well just get it from Sainsbury’s and at least it’s cheaper. Did not use to be like this, sadned that it changed.

Absolutely amazing! I’m coeliac, and was delighted to find that nearly everything could be adapted. Our waitress, Melissa, was excellent and had great knowledge of coeliac requirements. My boyfriend isn’t gluten free, and while we shared a Duo board, he was given a board of regular bread and I had my own separate gluten free board. 10/10, will be retuning very soon!

This was our first visit to Porters, but will not be our last. The selection of cheese and meats were extensive and the staff helped up choose. The prosecco and wine kept coming during our lunch without the need to ask. And the staff were very attentive with special mention to Melissa and Britney. Thank you once again and I cannot recommend porters enough. ❤️

This spot is great for a social evening where you can graze as much or little as you would like whilst enjoying good wine and company. Melissa was particularly attentive and very knowledgable of the menu. We were very well looked after by her. Thank you!

Booked a bottomless brunch, absolutely fabulous. Wine was great, food was excellent and the service was exceptional - kept our drinks flowing! Thank you so much, will be back.

We were greeted in a very friendly manner on this our second visit. The service from Mel and Brit was excellent. Our duo board was of a high standard. We selected a fine wine from the impressive wine list and together with the tasty charcuterie this made for a very good evening. The ambience is perfect, nothing was rushed and the staff are a credit to the place with their smiles and professional, but relaxed, approach to the job.

Super place. Dropped in for a glass of wine and had a great time. Lovely wine, great service. Highly recommend. (The Christmas music aside)

Been here several times, the experience is great. Mellissa and Brit are very friendly to serve us, and the wine serving is professional.

Amazing place. The homemade hummus was incredible. Local made cheese and meats are amazing. The signature cocktails are perfect. I see why this was just rated the best restaurant in Hampshire. A must visit place!

Had a lovely time at porters tonight with my friends for girls night! Thanks Melissa and Brit for being so lovely and smiley. Had the best cheese board and wine <3 thanks girls x

Porters was a delightful surprise, not just for the amazing duo platter of cold cured meats and very interesting cheeses, but also for the excellent quality of the wines, and topped off by the attentive and knowledgeable service from Melissa. It was our first visit...

Fabulous...food and wine is extremely good but even better is the Fabulous customer service, understanding and consideration to disabled guests. They couldnt do more to help and were open about any possible 'issues' such as ramps and loos. There is a ramp but as we...

Brilliant vibe - Britney & Melissa were fabulous. Only thing was that the toilet doors were awful - I accidentally walked in on 3 different women going for a wee - saw more Fanny in one night than I had in the last 10 years...

We loved our experience at Porters. I would suggest maybe not to many greens as they were only for decoration. I would add Iberico ham to the menu as well.

Lovely food, great service, and friendly staff will definitely be going back.

Great service and food as always. Huge selection of both cheese, meats and wine. Highly recommend for all.

I'd been to the sister steakhouse but had always fancied trying the charcuterie side so finally booked for Saturday! We chose the "Duo" charcuterie board and our lovely server explained about a couple of changes from the menu and answered some of our questions. Everything that came with it (cheeses, meats, chutneys, salads, pickles, bread) was all absolutely delicious and was a perfect amount for the two of us. Great Malbec wine and excellent Cornish Orchards cider on draft topped off a very enjoyable experience!

Porters is one of my favourite places for food and now even more special as we used for our wedding venue. Honestly, neither one of us could fault our experience, you gave us everything and more and ALL our guys loved your spread, we got...

Visited for a birthday. Been here before, Riannon was amazing. Recommended the best choices for wine, meat and cheese. Thank you to the lovely Chef Marzena, everything was perfect and we all had a fab time

Went to porters this evening and oh my I couldn’t recommend it enough service was amazing and a big thank you to riannon and marzena for making our night one to remember

Lovely atmosphere. Although a couple we opted for the Trio as we love this kind of food and we're really hungry. Left very full but not stuffed. A duo would have served well but glad we went for the trio. Rianne was a fantastic server.

Porters is one of my favourite places for food and now even more special as we used for our wedding venue. Honestly, neither one of us could fault our experience, you gave us everything and more and ALL our guys loved your spread, we got so many compliments it was perfect. Yourself and all your staff did such an amazing job, thank you so so much!

Lovely restaurant, and the wine and charcuterie were delicious. Would highly recommend it.

it was nice and quiet white i prefer, others may prefer a busier environment but not for me. food was dandy and good. waiters and what not were lovely and friendly. would come here again. surprised by lack of people here

We had lovely service from Rianne and the food and cocktails were outstanding! They had a great selection of great quality food and drink! It was absolute perfection! A great place for my birthday dinner!

Fantastic service, great ambiance as well as the best charcuterie and cheeses to die for! Can’t praise this place enough and looking forward to visiting again.

We arrived shortly after opening, and were the only diners. The cheery waitress explained the Bottomless Graze criteria and took our order. So many tempting items on the menu.... it was so hard to make our final choice. The chilled Chardonnay was excellent and served...

We returned to Porters and it was wonderful experience, and a nice change to other restaurants. Camilla was a perfect host, gave great guidance on the selection of cold cuts and cheeses, all of which were delicious. Thank you

Riannin & Hannah were excellent. Thoroughly enjoyed our meal. And the margarita cocktails were spot on!
