I had a group of 10 come for pizza and darts. The manager Adana and bar staff Jess were incredible. They took all of our orders efficiently, provided us drinks and demonstrated darts brilliantly. They were attentive and created an amazing night for us. Thank you so much! Our night was made because of you both.

We as a group of friends were staying at the nearby premier inn overnight, before next morning going on a 3 night mini cruise. So we ventured out in the city centre main pedestrian street where we went into this lively pub. We found a seat and ordered food at the bar, I had the 7 oz gammon steak with chips, fried egg, pineapple ring and peas at £9.50. Food was good and reasonable value with staff friendly.

I went into this pub on Friday at about 3:30 after work just to get a drink. A girl was working behind the bar cleaning a jug. She saw me ignored me and carried on cleaning. Was just trying to get a drink. Waited for 7 minutes while being ignored then decided to leave. Disgraceful service

Just to give people “the heads up” if you’re feeling unwell and need to use a toilet cubicle, do let a staff member know or you will be accused of taking drugs in there and asked to leave, not only humiliating for our 6mnths pregnant daughter in law who had to experience this in front of friends and family and customers, totally an outrageous accusation which none of us will forget in a hurry, disgusting practice and ruined the whole evening😡

Been to this bar quite a few times and up until Sunday night I had nothing but good things to say about it. We were a group of 10 who had just been to the Madness concert at the Guildhall and had been in O’Neills before the show. We’d all had a few drinks but kept to ourselves so certainly weren’t causing any trouble. The bar was very busy with lots of people who’d been to the concert. My wife is 6 months pregnant and wasn’t feeling great so went to the Ladies toilet. She used a cubicle for between 5-10mins. She said that she thought she was probably going to be sick. My wife returned to our group and sat down. Shortly after, a member of the door staff approached her and announced “your group won’t be allowed back in the premises again this evening because we’ve been informed that you were in the toilets doing something you shouldn’t be doing.” He also said that it won’t be accepted that there is any other reason why you might spend that amount of time inside of a toilet cubicle. We laughed at first and my wife explained that she is 6 months pregnant, hasn’t touched a drop of alcohol in months and not that’s it’s particularly relevant but hasn’t ever touched drugs in her life. Our friends and family were furiously verbally defending my wife, equally as gobsmacked that such an accusation had been made. My wife is left feeling completely embarrassed and humiliated. I ask that any reader of this review puts themselves in my wife’s shoes for a moment and imagine that you’re out with friends and family when suddenly out of nowhere you’re told to leave because you’ve been accused of something that is not only illegal, but harmful to your unborn baby. Completely humiliating and ruined the night. We have since spoken to people at O’Neills via phone-call and email and haven’t received a single apology for the way in which my wife was treated. We are looking into taking this much further. Defamation of character is quite serious.

Nunca he estado aquí antes, pensé en intentar un cambio. Al llegar, nos pidieron que hiciéramos el seguimiento y el seguimiento de la AP y que nos desinfectamos las manos. Estaba muy ocupado, pero el hombre (no estoy seguro si el gerente) fue muy eficiente. ! ! Era un activo real, no entendió su nombre, cabello rubio / jengibre. Nos llevaron a nuestra mesa y nos preguntaron si estaba bien, nos sentamos del mismo lado debido al distanciamiento social, el pub era muy seguro en ese sentido. Pedí la hamburguesa a mi madre el pescado y patatas fritas. La comida llegó con prontitud y era preciosa. ¡Definitivamente vendrá de nuevo!

Durante un fin de semana en Southampton, reservé una mesa aquí para mí y mi familia, pagué un depósito de 10 ya que puede estar bastante ocupado y no quería arriesgarme a no conseguir una mesa. Llegué un poco antes de lo que esperaba con mi hijo menor, entré directamente y me senté en una mesa a esperar la llegada de mi otro hijo y su pareja. Pedí algunas bebidas en la aplicación, llegaron muy rápido y el camarero fue muy educado con una sonrisa. Alrededor de 20 minutos después, un hombre con un sujetapapeles se acercó a mi mesa y dijo "sabes que tienes que dejar esta mesa a las 8, ¿verdad?". ¿Cómo sabría esto? no había ninguna tarjeta reservada en la mesa y nadie me dijo cuando llegué. Encontré su manera de ser grosera, le expliqué que tenía una mesa reservada y él dijo que estaba bien porque la mesa en la que estaba sentado era mi mesa reservada, pero debo irme a las 9 pm. Poco después de que mi hijo y su pareja aparecieran, lo detuvieron de entrar, pero el mismo hombre hasta que mi hijo explicó que se encontraba con alguien aquí que ya había llegado, el hombre con el portapapeles le dijo que teníamos que irnos a las 8. 30? cuando me lo había dicho minutos antes de las 9 de la noche.Entiendo que este lugar es bastante animado y era temprano en la noche de un sábado, pero un grupo de alrededor de 8 personas estaban a 2 mesas de distancia de nosotros que ya estaban muy borrachos, gritándose entre sí, maldiciendo y en general molestando a los otros clientes. No soy una persona irracional y entiendo que la gente se pone ruidosa y ruidosa cuando está afuera y se divierte, pero le gritaban a la gente de un extremo al otro del lugar llamándolos "c * nts". y ni un solo miembro del personal les habló sobre su comportamiento y continuó durante más de una hora, al final nos fuimos. lo cual es una pena porque la comida era muy buena, muy buenos precios, los bistecs estaban cocinados a la perfección y buenos tamaños de las porciones. La camarera del bar era muy conversadora y feliz, siento que el personal del piso decepcionó al lugar. me desanimaría visitar de nuevo.

Popped in for lunch and drinks. The meal deal was 2 for £8.50 which was good, my bangers and mash was tasty but you couldn't see the mash for gravy. My wife's chicken Caesar salad was chicken on a bed of lettuce and the leaves were brown. When telling the waitress she argued that's how it came out of the bag with no apologies. When asked why the chef didn't check the lettuce first she just walked off. Won't eat there again.

Well I was a regular customer to a degree but today that all changed there was a new obnoxious manager there who decided to pounce on us before we were even seated.. she told me to remove my son from the slot machine which may I add he’s 2 can’t really reach the buttons and definitely not big enough to put any coins in the slot. She could see we were just getting highchairs for the table and getting everyone’s coats removed but still she insisted then a fellow member of staff decided it was a great idea to physically try to move him from where he was stood. When I told her he was doing no harm she said he was promoting gambling and would be fined if a police officer came in. I’m sorry but he is not big enough to properly reach the buttons let alone the coin slot and he doesn’t have any money of his own to gamble with so under no circumstance was he gambling. She clearly was having a issue and needs to resolve this issue. To a child of 2 a fruit machine is pretty lights they don’t know what it’s for or how to use it!!! I’d definitely advise never go here they are rude and talk to you like your stupid even though she was the one who clearly had issues firstly pouncing on customers then trying to man handle a small child followed by rude customer service and ridiculous behaviour clearly not a child friendly pub after all!!!! Disgusted with the service today.

We popped in for food, I first thought it was a bit like Wetherspoons but unfortunately the food wasn’t. We both had gammon and change the chips for a baked potato. The food was a bit slow in coming. The gammon was cooked well but the potatoes were a bit dry and the peas were like pellets. The gammon came with the smallest pineapple slice I’ve ever seen and a hard fried egg. All in all not bad but needs improvement. On the plus side they had good beers on.

My wife and I stayed in Southampton 20-22/04/2018, Sunday morning we visited the weatherspoons venue (spitfire) for breakfast before catching our train home. Luckily we had two hours for the train. On ordering we were told 30 minutes wait on food, a guy with his two children ordered ahead of ours. The place was not very busy possibly 15 couples aprox, two chefs were on the breakfast meals supply. After 55 minutes ours arrived and was not that hot, several customers did complain and sent them back. However the guy with the two young children got his after us and my wife and I was amazed they had only ordered 3 bacon sandwiches (55 minutes really ? ), When next in Southampton im afraid we will go elsewhere. I would also add that one area of the spitfire was roped off, so as you can understand not that busy. The manager did go around apologizing but i think a review of staff performances required not apologies

The cocktails were lush, at this point in time I can't comment on the food, but I intend to visit again so shall definitely be giving the food a go. Only downside to the overall, fantasic and clean pub is that the ladies toilets need some attention, as there are broken toilets seats...

Decided to stay as so hungry. The menu had a decent choice and reasonable prices. Hubby had cod and chips and I had sweet and sour chicken. The bar staff were busy talking to one another so took longer to get served. The food quickly arrived. Hubby said there was more batter than fish. Mine was ok. Bit bewildered why it was chicken in breadcrumbs not just chicken? It was quite tasty. Portion size good and the food was hot.

Great section of beer and very friendly staff. Possibly the cheapest bar in town. Will use again if in the area

Went for lunch with my husband. Had a very enjoyable meal and great service. There was a varied menu and the food and drinks were very good. Our waitress Julia was very attentive and helpful and friendly

I had my first visit to the spitfire today. I had a fantastic experience and would definitely return again. I was recommended the Katsu chicken and sweat and sour chicken (which was great value for money) after being helped by staff member Julia behind the bar. She was very helpful to me, was patient and answered all my questions with a smile - a great asset to the team. Wish I had a chance to tip her and would be back for the same level of service in a heartbeat! :-)

I have visited the Spitfire every week for the past couple of years. It's been consistent in it's service, food, value for money and cleanliness - it's definitely somewhere I'd recommend. Even when it's busy, the food is served in a good amount of time with the staff being very accommodating, friendly and helpful (especially Mark!)

I used to eat here regularly and always found the food to be good and the staff helpful. However the now have an older east European bar maid who feels its her position to make personal comments about customers and be generally rude. No problem, plenty of other pubs in the area.

Large spacious premises with a good selection of ales. Went on a Tuesday evening and did tend to be a student venue.

Went to the Spitfire for an evening meal, two adults and two teens. Good atmosphere considering it was a relatively early Thursday evening and great service from young blonde lady behind the bar.

Spitfire is a good place for drinking beers and watching the TV. Nowadays I require more than that though, even from a pub. Not being able to order decent salad is not good with me. Atmosphere overall before a home game was lame.

This is very much a value sports TV pub showing the football etc. The food is very average and the prices reflect this. Staff are friendly and food is served promptly.

I crossed the threshold here. Lovely pub when it first opened but not as smart and tidy as it was back then. Very noisy, football fans have left but seemingly security is still needed on door! My beer not great, and expensive (London Pride) One redeeming feature, lovely member of staff remembered me, and made me feel welcome in an otherwise cold atmosphere. Angelica, well done

I used to go to Whetherspoons but went here for a change. Really nice decoration and seating. Had a breakfast with my brother. Full breakfast and porridge (I had the porridge). Really nice creamy porridge with two packs of Nutella (I love Nutella) and nice coffee. I will be going again next time I am in Southampton and will try the lunch/dinners.

We went in here because my husband wanted to watch the football, i have to say the bar is very good for that. When i tried to order food i enquired as to what on the menu was suitable for someone with coeliac disease - gluten free. The lady behind the bar said she would ask the chef, she returned telling me that nothing on the menu was suitable. I found this very disappointing and sadly won't be returning. The food my husband had was of a reasonable standard and was served very promptly.

Always come here if I'm in town alone or to meet a friend.Easy to get served (Wetherspoon chaos.) Staff friendly and 'on the ball.' (Wetherspoon staff and bar queues disorganised.) Tables clean (Wetherspoon sticky.) Food good. Prices only slightly above Wetherspoon.

I go there every month with my friend. Usually we are very pleased with the service and food.Today when we got there all seemed the same.until my friend went upstairs to the toilet and came straight back down. There was new floor being laid. No notice even to stop my friend going upstairs.the only toilet in the whole pub was the disabled toilet.I have to use it as I am partially sighted and have had a stroke.it is bad enough having to share it with men who generally find putting the seat down too difficult and can't aim.If we hadn't ordered Our meal by then we would have gone elsewhere.When I complained to the manager he gave me a lot of waffle about their long opening hours etc. not my problem. There should have been a notice so I had the choice to go elsewhere. My guess is that is why there wasn't one.

Well where do I start! Myself and 3 friends booked in for a bottemless brunch. The service was extremely slow we waited over 15 minutes after ordering our first drink to even recieve it, The cocktails tasted poor and were not up to standard. The food was rubbish and very salty. The waitress and the manager were rude. When we asked a question the waitress rolled her eyes at us. The window where we were sat had clearly been broken so was boarded up but made to look like the easthetic with lights hung on it. Overall we were unhappy with our visit and won't be recommending to other people.

During our stay at premier inn Southampton airport, we chose to have dinner in the thyme restaurant here. Our waiter was Jason who made us feel comfortable and was very respectful and accommodating, our little girl had mac'n'cheese while we had steak cooked by Chaz who was the chef on this night. As a trained chef myself i absolutely salute Chaz on how well he cooked a rare and a blue steak would definitely eat here again. Ps... my little girl ate the entire meal so extra bonus.
