The Giddy Bridge in Southampton

One of the best wetherspoons in Southampton for food. Could do with a bit of a makeover as a pub but on the whole good

Good location and being a Wetherspoon pub the food isn't amazing, but the prices are good and service is fast.

Popped in for Sunday meals. It was loud with male drinkers near our family table. Finished our meals quickly and left.

¡Qué experiencia encantadora de entrar y ser agraciado por Ian, era un tipo tan encantador y lleno de entusiasmo que era servicial, amable y merecedor de ser dotado de un gran empleado! Cucharas necesitamos más gente para ser como Ian en el puente.

Ian behind the bar was amazing, working so hard and so helpful and friendly.

Very popular with a wide range of real ales. The food is standard wetherspoons fayre, filling and cheap. Quick delivery for a busy Saturday

Great stop prior to boarding our cruise shop

Typical 'Spoons with feral children running around an Irishman booming into his mobile phone so the whole bar could hear him

Cheap and cheerful pub. Great value for money

Another Wetherspoons I've previously been to, however didn't review. A decent sized pub, including an upstairs seating area and roof terrace, situated on the northern side of Southampton City Centre, just across the road from the north side of East Park. This pub is the nearest Wetherspoons to Southampton Central Train Station. It was not overly busy when I visited, and was easily able to find a table. However, I've been to Southampton before when the Football is on, and this pub can get very busy at those times. Ordered a Sticky Korean Chicken Bowl, chips and a pint of Leffe Blonde. Total was £10.02 On this occasion I ordered at the bar (the app doesn't take cash). A small wait until I was served. Food arrived in about 10 minutes of ordering. A good sized portion was given, and food was of good quality and presentation. Definitely worth a visit, if you are around the area.

Decent Spoons with a good selection of ales, usually at the cheaper end of JDW's pricing. I've always found the service to be pretty good too.

I think it was very busy yesterday with people did anyone find a network card in a blue wallet

La peor comida de pub que hemos comido, el día después de que ambos tuvimos malestar estomacal. La hamburguesa se quemó y el pollo parecía como si acabase de estallar en el microondas - se suponía que era carbón a la parrilla! Qué horror. El cocinero debería avergonzarse de servirnos basura a la gente.

Creo que he estado aquí más de cinco veces hasta ahora, y nunca me decepciona. Es literalmente lo que espero de una Wetherspoon: bebidas baratas y comida barata. Obviamente, cuando pago £ 10 por filete con papas fritas y una pinta de cerveza, no espero gran calidad, así que no me decepciona. Aparte de sus filetes, probé sus currys y sus llamadas "hamburguesas gourmet", que eran solo una hamburguesa de pollo con salsa barbacoa de Jack Daniel. Pero al final del día, obtienes lo que pagaste, y creo que Wetherspoons Giddy Bridge hace ese trabajo increíblemente bien. Además, es bastante grande por dentro a diferencia de un pub normal, así que definitivamente encontrarás una mesa los fines de semana.

Toilets don't flush in the gents. Brought it to the attention of a staff member who just shrugged. Enter a cubicle at your own risk...

Just like any wetherspoons! Cheap and cheerful!

I POP IN FROM TIME TO TIME AND CAN FIND NO FAULT WITH THE ESTABLISHMENT

I can go alone. Meet and talk with people. All age ranges. Good beer prices. Good staff. It's been a few years since I ate there. But, it was always very good

Es una típica cuchara. El inodoro tiene el aroma de, bueno, un inodoro Wetherspoons. Hay muchos pubs locales que son un poco más caros, pero usted obtiene lo que paga. No volvería sobre la base del miembro del personal increíblemente grosero e inútil que encontré.

Very busy so long wait at bar. Wouldn't visit on a Saturday again

Good service, good food and great atmosphere.

I don't expect much from a Wetherspoons given the general good value of food and drinks they tend to provide. On this occasion though a few of us stood at the bar for 10-15 minutes without even being acknowledged. There were several staff working, but only one seemed to be serving drinks at the bar and only to those stood directly in front of the till they were using. Ended up leaving without ordering. Ironic thing was we stopped in another Wetherspoons elsewhere in town on the same night where the service was good.

Cheap, compared to other bars. With a magnificent atmosphere

Food was only chips and curry sauce But it cost over £5 and was a soggy disgusting mess

Large edge of city centre pub , good for watching footy. I left my Yorkshire flat cap on a radiator at front of pub near the front door on Tuesday watching Saints v Stoke in cup. Has it been found?

It was quiet being that it was breakfast time. Only saw two staff, And many tables were full of plates. But understandable if understaffed. The food came promptly and was very nice

Honestamente, nunca conocí personal como él, todos en sus teléfonos en la esquina escondidos esperaron 20 minutos para recibir los servicios, estúpidas tonterías de cola, luego Barril se fue a mis bebidas ... sin explicación de por qué me quedé esperando durante otros 5 minutos ... derramó la mitad de mi pinta mientras lo puso en la barra y se preguntó por qué le di una mirada extraña ... . un servicio horrible ... descuidado.

Great 2 managers .best I know.very friendly & I'm always happy & willing to help them out on the door when asked whenever there's trouble ect

Great friendly bar staff & door staff plus managers are all very friendly & helpful but think the ladies loos let it down 👇 it's often dirty with paper on floor or wet through everywhere plus a cpl doors don't lock very well & hand dryers blow out cold plus lots of the high chairs near windows are loose & wobble. This is a regular pub myself & partner use x

Best Wetherspoons in Southampton. A bit more spacious than the others. Good value for money.

Very busy and not a lot of seating.

Food was okay, low amount of chips for a meal in comparison to other spoons. Service was fine, facilities were adequate but not that clean (dirty tables and previous meals left on tables)

It's a Spoons, same as all the rest

9 o'clock Saturday evening was obviously very busy but got the feeling I was getting ignored actually took me 10 minutes to get a drink,

Lovely pub, as you can expect from a Wetherspoons. Staff were lovely and drinks all arrived nice and fast along with the food that we all ordered off the app. Lovely outdoor seating area with a good view of town.

Great place for hangout with friends and budget friendly 🤠 enjoy the moment on weekends little crowded but still worth the vibe

Good old spoons, food came out quick n as always tasted good.

Great place, the service was fast.

Went to The Giddy Bridge for a cup of coffee. We each had a cup of coffee. We left quickly. Probably best that way. It wasn't good

Great Southampton Wether spoons.Staff are super friendly and professional...Beer second to none..The Giddy Bridge has a great first floor patio terrace affording views over the bustling streetscape...A must to visit when in the area..

Just like any other weatherspoons. Service was quick but the pub was quiet.

An Intresting name, and how it came about.

Usual menu guaranteed, quick service, and best prices in the area. Also, 5 minutes walk from all harbour amenities.

Just drabk a good beer here. Fine! Nice staff.

Nice, friendly and welcoming pub. The staff there are nice and friendly. A good quiet place to just sit back, chill and relax! Better than The Scholars Arms.

Went with younger brother and cousins before cricket match.Good friendly bar staff and atmosphere crowded considering it was about 4 pm in afternoon.

Foods up to wetherspoons standards, Good, although there was a hair in my cousins panini, but that happens a lot more than you'd think even in a 5-star hygiene rating place. Service was okay, nothing special, they delivered the food quickly and hot even though it was in the peak hours of getting food, although the app was broken at that time so it we had to order at the bar. The atmosphere was chaotic and was too open, lotta noise.

Good prices and selection of drinks and food but slow table service and a decent evening spoiled by an obnoxious off-duty member of staff.

You just can't go wrong with a wetherspoons breakfast, ordered on the app and it was delivered quickly. Obviously it's not a 5 star restaurant but for what you pay it's a cracking breakfast

Like most Wetherspoons The Giddy Bridge hit the spot!

The reason I rate this so low is that the food my friend and I ordered looked like child's meals. They treated very unappetising. My friend had a very small burger and I had a piece of plain chicken. It was Luke warm and rubbery. The food was literally plonked on the table with dirty cutlery by a member of staff who didn't know how to smile or engage. I appreciate it was a busy Friday night but customer service and food quality shouldn't waver. Whilst I can't prove this but after eating here I had to be in hospital with food poisoning. Not a good experience.

Roof top terrace, great service and the food is actually on point. I had the ramen which was quite surprisingly good. A good spoons this one. Went back for breakfast which was spot on.

Quality of food is kind of expected from Wetherspoon, but the cleanliness of that place can be improved in order to get the 5 star rating

Great little spoons, lovely staff who are fast and attentive even when it's packed

Decent enough pub for a bit and beer. Good choice on tap at cheaper prices. Nice terrace up top.

After getting off our cruise ship early morning and going back to our parked cars in a taxi we was near this Wetherspoons pub so opted for breakfast before our long drive home to Sheffield. As usual it was great value as we ordered off the app, I had the large breakfast at £6.59 which included 2 fried eggs, 2 sausages, bacon, beans, mushrooms, 3 hash browns and 2 slices of toast. Great value washed down with a cup of tea.

Quick service and lovely beer garden. I didn't eat but have returned several times for drinks and will continue to do so when I visit Southampton.

Good beer good food excellent service.

Playing pub golf with my friends and Maisy was so lovely. Really excited to talk and be in a photo with me. Maisy is an angel! Big love

Large mixed grill was excellent apart from the chips . Meat was cooked to perfection.. pizza was delicious. Negative thing was there was no ketchup in any of the condiment department. Had to ask twice to finally get some

You know what you're getting, 660ml of premium larger and a burger here cost me £7. Seven pounds. Fantastic

Food was disappointing not much of a choice as few meals on the menu were unavailable

Pleasant and helpful staff. Boring hamburger.

A top class provincial Spoons well worth the short walk out of town if only to visit the Cuban Cigar shop next door

ing drink tonight alone met a group of people oli brings food over turns out not for that table so clearly his mistake came bk to collect went to by beer my fault said cant serve whats his problem as wont be going back so un professional whats wrong with this person

A few months ago, I caught someone going through my stuff. Rather than them kick the thief out, they told me to leave. A few days ago, people cut in front of others and, again, the management prioritised them over the decent customers. Here’s an idea. If you don’t operate a queue system, then don’t be so slow and let queues form. And then let people jump said line. Absolutely terrible establishment. The staff happily let horrid people say and do what they like, then ban those that complain and stand up to such people rather than them. All the while indulging fat, blotchy-faced bullies to play excessive vigilante. I hope they all get what’s coming to them and the place gets shut down.

Refused service sitting outside with my well behaved 16 year old arthritic Keeshond. Ridiculous policy for a British pub

Great food and service,the reason for the 4 star rating is all the down and outs hanging around begging etc otherwise great pub.

Great Wetherspoon's example, delicious breakfast 🥞

Only aspect that lets this place down, as is the case in a few Wetherspoons pubs, is the poor statevof the Gents toilets, in partuclar the WC cubicles and WCs themselves. As this does not directly impinge on the 3 categories for Star Rating assessment the 5star rating has been retained by me. However other reviewers may well feel different and downgrade as they see fit.

Love the giddy, it needs some TLC inside and a refurb but is a great place to meet friends and obviously the bar prices are very cheap compared to every other non Wetherspoons pub

Noisy barsterds sounding the boat horns all through the night every bloody night.

Basic pub food as expected from this branch. No issues, fairly quick service.

Good place for breakfast and lunch with comfortable seat.

Scammed my money. Accidentally ordered 2 portion and asked if I can cancel 1 and get a refund. They told me yes, and even said that they’ve already started the refund process. But to this day, a month later, I’m still waiting for this refund. Been in contact with customer service who says they’ve been trying to contact this specific Wetherspoon to no response !

I accidentally ordered two Chicken Tikka Masalas and asked the staff if I could get a refund. They agreed, and when I checked at the end of our meal, they confirmed it had been processed and would show up in my bank account in a few days. However, the refund never appeared. I contacted their customer service, but after three weeks, the issue still hasn't been resolved. Additionally, during our visit, a creepy guy approached and harassed our female friend inside the restaurant. My suggestion is to better monitor who enters the restaurant to ensure a safer atmosphere for us!

nice service. good breakfast as an alternative to the hotel...

I've been to many wetherspoons pubs and this has to be one of my favourites, it has amazing spaces within it, the rooftop terrace is an absolute delight when the weather is good. Service and customers are very friendly and approachable, I definitely recommend coming here

The chips where nice that I had and drink that I had was nice and the place was clean and the people that was working there was nice and friendly.

A nice Wetherspoons in a great location near to Guildhall and the premier inn. Cheap drinks and nice atmosphere in the upstairs bit. Popped in for breakfast which is great value for money.

Wetherspoons closed on a Sunday lunchtime ? Power cut? Other pubs in same city and even street open. Rubbish

Good for watching tramps outside

Worst wetherspoons I have been to for service, food was mediocre at best, Claimed to be short staffed which should never be used as an excuse! We went on to the Scholar arms (Greene King) far better !

Lots of choice in deals. For a low price.

What it says on the tin. Good pint collection of drinks

Definitely the worst ‘spoons in the UK for service. Waited almost an hour for food and drink to be delivered after ordering on the app. Avoid

Great pub food lovely Great value staff friendly and efficient pub was very busy but got served quickly

Pretty standard Wetherspoons fare, but the chips were not hot, only mildly warm. Cheap, but not particularly cheerful!

Been to Southampton FC St Mary's Stadium Southampton before,then visited the pub for a drink & something nice to eat - Ordered a double burger & chips which was delicious,service was awesome - Pub is very close to the centre of Southampton,lots of seating & great atmosphere!!!

our waiter iain was absolutley amazing!! he’s such a lovely person, and absolutley brilliant at his job. i went out with a friend after having quite a stressful day, and he was 10/10. will definitely be here again! thank you so much iain!!

Just been told you have to smoke/vape outside, ironic being on a balcony. Would not recommend

More bar staff needed on match days

Very loud pub even at 9.30 in the morning lots of people drinking their pints with a full English

Food I couldn't find fault not massive range but good hearty pub grub you can enjoy at spur of the moment with friends. Staff were lovely on shift

I was discriminated because of a disability I have. When I came here I didn’t expect much… it’s a spoons. I came for some food. Walked in did nothing, spoke to no one. Didn’t get served. I was told I was too drunk ( I wasn’t drunk I had one drink) they decided they didn’t like me because I had a disability and decided I was too drunk to be served… not drunk I have a disability. When we came in my friend who is also my carer told the bouncer she was my carer. Was that the reason? Because I have a carer to help me function. Probably. The Manager I guess was okay as he did APPARENTLY give me a refund. (Probably lied, we’ll see in a few day) however you could tell the manger was just being nice so I wouldn’t complain. Also whilst I was in there, constant stares from the people that worked there. I have never been so disrespected in my life, you caused me to have an anxiety attack ON MY BIRTHDAY. And completely ruined my night. Shame on you and your staff, you need to be trained on disability’s and also recognise people who are actually drunk, because I saw a LOT of people who were way to drunk, falling over, and they didn’t get kicked out? I do see this as an attack. You guys targeted me because I had a disability and you knew I had one so I shouldn’t have to explain myself.

Waited over an hour for one plate of chips. Horrible service. Staff were unhelpful and rude.

My colleagues and I popped in here for a drink whilst enroute too another bar, and it was okay. I hate the lemonade in Wetherspoons so we didn’t stay long we had 2 or 3 drinks and carried on. Standard spoons. The females toilets were disgusting? Actually was nearly sick because of the smell! Awful. The upstairs smoking area is a vape/smoke free area? Can this be explained, I don’t get what the issue is, it’s outside?

Prioritise money over customers

Great pub pity the prices don't match spainish pub prices but cheaper than most pubs in Southampton

Bit of an improvement since our last visit
