Uptons of Bassett in Southampton

Great restaurant, friendly staff great selection good food highly recommend! they serve breakfast, lunch etc. bacon sandwich and sausage sandwich are really nice! highly recommend

I was told to try this venue by a good friend, he was spot on, the bacon sandwich was superb, coffee served is very good. The staff were really knowledgeable and friendly. Not a cheap place to go for breakfast I will grant you, however I believe it is not an expensive one either, as the quality is excellent. Will not be my last visit for sure

2nd time here for me and my boy, ordered bacon sandwich and sausage sandwich with apple juice and cappuccino. We split the sandwiches between us cause we haven't tried the sausage sandwich before. What can I say both cooked to perfection and best I have ever tasted, the look on my sons face was priceless, and the drinks finished off a perfect breakfast. Thank you and we will be back.

My wife got me a sausage making master class for Xmas. As an ex-chef I wasn’t sure what I would get from it. What an evening I had forgotten what a pleasure it is to spend time in the company of someone so passionate and knowledgable about their trade. Great entertainment using the sausage machine and the products I’ve come away with are fantastic. Simon is a butcher that cares about traceability using the best the forest provides. Real great night out will book more.

Popped in after a long run as I knew the breakfast would refuel me ! The sausages and bacon are so tasty, nothing like you can buy anywhere else. The quantities of bacon sausage and to die for black pudding (AMAZING !) is great. Today I swapped out the lovely thick bread for an extra sausage … for my boy, he is a mini sausage 🤣😉 I also had a great Americano coffee and a small bottle of Chilean Merlot.. recommend that also 👍 Steak Wrap Dave

I heard about the world wide winning Hagis and just had to try it.It definitely lived up to it's reputation and was absolutely delicious,Id definitely recommend it to anyone and it gets ten out of ten from me 🤤

Uptons has it all. Amazing quality meat and Full English Breakfasts which taste out of this world, lovely staff and brilliant pop-up themed evenings. With so many award winning dishes on the menu, you’re spoilt for choice. Gluten free bacon and sausage sandwiches are a hit with our children and we recommend this place to everyone we know.

I visited Uptons of Basset today and was impressed with how they manage a unique blend of being a deli-butcher and a cafe. The homemade cured collar bacon in my bacon sandwich was absolutely delicious. The staff were friendly and helpful, and I couldn't resist taking some of their bacon, scotch eggs, and sausage rolls home. A lovely place that definitely deserves your visit!

I have lived in Southampton all my life and driven past this place, probably a thousand times,but recently saw a review on line which made me come and visit. I feel cheated, why haven't I visited here before, years before. Me and my boy popped in this morning and order two bacon sandwiches, cappuccino and an apple juice. What can I say, wonderful service, bacon sandwiches to die for, the best bacon I have ever tasted, the best cappuccino I have had in a long time and very and a very reasonable price. Thank you all for a great start to a Saturday, and we will definitely be back.

I went to buy some sausages (they are the best in the country!) and could not resist the buzzing atmosphere of the bistro. I had this sensational wrap with beef and feta cheese, warm, delicious with juicy minced beef and creamy feta. To continue, the Slovakian cheesecake from Mrs. Uptons family recipe book- a light, fruity baked cheesecake that went really well with a cup of tea. Well done guys!

Heard such good reports about this place so thought we'd give it a try. My husband and I ordered the eggs Benedict. When it arrived we were most disappointed. It was served on toast which was burnt on the edges ( saw the chef scraping the toast to get rid of the other burnt bits!) The eggs were small and the hollandaise sauce was so sparse we couldn't taste it. The bacon was good though.We waited a good half an hour for our lunch to be served so all in all we won't be going back.

Wow lovely breakfast with high quality produce . Reasonable prices and very friendly Definitely come back again if in the area

Delicious breakfast inside the butcher shop. Fast and really friendly service. Won't be the last breakfast we have here.

Quite simply the best food I’ve ever had, anywhere. The service is impeccable and the quality of the food is unmatched. If you don’t pay the guys in Uptons of Bassett a visit, you’re missing out.

Went for brunch after Baby group nearby with my daughter and her baby. All 3 of us happy with our choices from menu. 2 Superb Coffees, full English and bacon sandwich. Baby sat in her buggy to eat and was no problem. First tiny taste of Upton sausage, toast etc Our family Always look forward to our treat going here! Bought an Upton steak pie for meal next day and it was perfection.

I just sampled the ox heart burgers which are really amazing burgers, so rich and tasty. And I also had the standard burgers which are quite honestly very tasty as well as the fat content is bang on. I'm going to have to try some of their other delicacies but I am very impressed by what I've had so far. 💯🔥

Came in today with my step dad for family and it was absolutely amazing I had a full English never been a fan of black pudding but their homemade one is delicious! Will only ever eat it there. My step dad had a steak and it was divine.

Amazing service, amazing food. It's lovely to see a proper butcher in this day and age. Lovely place to come and get some really good food, with loads to choose from. Couldn't recommend this place more.

Quick, good quality, home-cooked, friendly, clean. In addition to organic meat and eggs and award-winning burger, duck wrap and bagel(!) they serve beer, wine, good apple juice and deserts. We will return.

A fantastic meal as always. Simon and his team always make us welcome. Black pudding is just the best.

Brought some steak (cote de boeuf ) for a bbq and I have never tasted better thank you will certainly will be back very soon 😋

Best breakfast in Southampton, the meat is incredible and the atmosphere is so different to anywhere else. Would definitely recommend!!

Best breakfast I’ve ever had ! Lovely friendly service too. Couldn’t help myself by buying lots of local produce whilst there. We will be back ! Thanks

Great food, gentle People and wide timetable. It permits to you to enjoy their variated and big breakfast as a meal.

My husband keeps talking about their hot chocolate after his first visit that's why he brought me to try. I really love it. It reminds me of champorado, the Philippine's sweet chocolate porridge. We will come back soon to try their food. I am so...

Apparently Trip Advisor won't allow a review that just repeats "Excellent!" enough times to ratify the 100 character minimum .. when that was a very accurate review. . Anyway, it was "Excellent!"

Once again our bronze turkey from Uptons was out of this world. Cooked perfectly, remained moist throughout without any fiddly preparation and was still great cold over the next few days. We'll be back again this year. Thank you Simon

Just sent husband to collect our turkey and he came back with so much first class goodies.Still warm sausage rolls and pork pie. Olives, cooked ham and crackling for father-in-law. Great service and atmosphere provided by owner and friendly staff. Happy Christmas to you all....

A lovely late lunch! Outstanding quality and tasty food, great service too. Everyone was so friendly! We will definitely be returning!

Have been twice now after reading all the reviews. Outstanding quality and tasty food, great service too. It's a must visit place, both my son and myself were so impressed. Certainly will be going on a regular basis.

This award-winning butcher's shop and bistro richly deserves its excellent reputation. Service is friendly and efficient, and produce is of the highest quality. Highly recommended.

Called in for some of Upton's totally unbeatable Jalapeno Sausages ... realised I was peckish and had Steak and Eggs. 👍

Lovely shop with great selection of wonderful meat and prepared deli goods. The food to sit in or take away is great and the pop-up nights are very popular! The staff are always very helpful too.

Fantastic Ribs night. Great food served with friendly owners and staff. Really relaxing and plenty of tasty food and wine. Will defo be going back for another pop up evening soon. Highly recommended.

Upton's is a wonderful place to visit. It is fascinating to be able to see some of what goes on 'behind the scenes', and the staff are always willing to help out - it was lovely to have a friendly chat about the produce and...

Top quality meat - purchased some pork neck/ shoulder on Saturday to make Souvla, my only regret is I didn’t get more - was absolutely delicious and gone too quickly! The breakfast smelt incredible too - will be back to try! Thanks again Simon

This is a very good butcher's shop with a small cafe that cooks and serves the produce. We ate here with a local and the food was really very good. We then stocked up on meat from their excellent butcher's shop. You can;t book tables...

Yep, Uptons have done it again. Not been for a while but went back last month for a cheeky bacon sandwich. Devoured and safely and swiftly deposited into my belly. This place is the real deal and we are lucky to live in an age...

Had the full English breakfast. As you’d expect from a fancy butcher, excellent sausages, bacon and black pudding. But that’s where it ended. A full English should have at least one tomato based component, maybe some mushrooms. It came with one very thick hunk of...

Needed to drive here from where our hotel was, but no regrets ! Visited based upon reviews as we wanted a hearty breakfast, nice choice, super friendly service, and lovely touches like giving one of us who didn't want egg an extra sausage. Great breakfast,...

Our favorite restaurant in Southampton. The food is delicious and affordable and most of all, the staff always made us feel at home.

Never tried their breakfast but it looks yummy… But my friends does. Just tried the meat from their butcher and its quality.

Outstanding. I've been in multiple times for the full English breakfast, steak & eggs, lunch takeaway food, everything. Never failed. Lovely people. Great coffee. Service superlative. Big thank you. 😎

I had the full english breakfast (recommended In-house) and a Latte. Nice Bistro, super friendly staff and owners. I missed out on the opportunity to grab a steak as I only noticed the fantastic cuts in the fridge as I was leaving (walking out the...

Another excellent bacon sandwich at Upton's this morning, superb customer service and now stocked up with goodies for the week. Thanks Simon again!

I booked the Charcuterie class Nov 21. It was a fantastic evening hosted by Simon and Katarina. Lots of fun and definitely something I would highly recommend. A glass of wine, lots of hands on butchery directed by Simon and to finish the evening, dinner...

I've been going to Uptons since I moved to Hampshire nearly 7 years ago and the person I was seeing told me they did the best pork pies. So I stopped by on my way to work to get him one for lunch whilst I...

Visited this butcher's for lunch. I had the all day breakfast which was great - excellent sausages, bacon and black pudding.... Along with eggs and toast - really filling. The sauses available were also very good. Nice coffee too. This is an excellent place for...

Top quality meat and fantastic food all wrapped up in great service. It may cost a little more but it is worth it.

Another excellent pop-up evening, Game Night, this time. Delightful Game Paté using the "less used bits" of pheasant, partridge and wild boar. Venison loin, partridge breast and Mallard breast, with couscous and a potato salad for the main course. A "surprise" of pheasant Wellington, followers...

All the staff are awesome and the food is too. Would highly recommend eating here, you won't regret it

What an incredible find. On route back from a weekend break to Pepper Pig World we found Uptons of Bassett on trip advisor, so glad we did. The full English breakfast was reasonably priced and absolutely fantastic. The bacon had a distinct taste which I...

The BEST bacon and sausage sandwich I have ever had and ive had a lot im a complete obese mess. Service is fantastic as well

People seem to be hyped about this place as a restaruant / cafe but after having their full breakfast with my partner I was sceptical. The atmosphere felt tense due to the small space and rather crammed which made having a conversation rather difficult. The...

Friendly staff, good to see some familiar faces from my last visit. Would definitely recommend 10/10, this place is a gem and I wouldn’t change it for the world. Top class. Will be returning when possible!

Great breakfast while daughter had a hospital appointment. Ready very quickly and I could really appreciate the quality of the ingredients. Will find an excuse to visit again soon.

Stopped by for a bag of charcoal, but ended up buying burgers, bacon, sausages and brie .... then decided to have breakfast. 👍

Had the Venezuelan chicken bag which was simply divine! My mum and husband had the full English which they loved. Staff friendly cheerful and attentive. Great selection of relishes and beers too

The best bistro in town! Had a fantastic bacon sandwich - what must have been about 6 rashers of what I think was fennel smoked bacon in the most delicious granary bread followed an hour later by a gorgeous 'slab' of chocolate brownie. This place...

We only popped in for a quick coffee but we will definitely be returning! The brownie was delicious and we regretted that we didn’t have time or tummy space for one of their delicious looking breakfasts. Looking forward to tasting the Marmite sausages which we...

You honestly could not ask for a more authentic breakfast if you tried. All local produce of the absolute highest standard, served by people who know what they’re doing when it comes to meat. I’ve been coming to Upton’s for over a decade and frankly...

We had best breakfast in our life. Highly recommend this place. The quality of food is just amazing. We will be back again soon.

We chose Uptons over a year ago, to cater for our wedding in July, and took a 3 hour drive to visit last week in order to taste the food in advance of the day. It was well worth the trip!! We were treated to an array of delicious food, served with a smile and such knowledge and flexibility in helping us decide what to have on our wedding day.Simon and the team are so passionate about what they do, and it comes across through the service and the food alike. We feel so confident entrusting one of the most important parts of our day in their hands, and we can't wait to be able to share their culinary expertise with our guests. The chocolate brownies are also OUT OF THIS WORLD! Wish we'd brought more home :'(

Had the marmite flavour sausages from here and they where amazing. Best place for sausages and good quality cuts of meat

We went for lunch and I had the pork pie with a side of piccalilli and it was very tasty as usual. I have this almost everytime I go. My partner had a chicken wrap and it looked amazing and he rated it one of the best chicken wraps he's ever had. I will be having that wrap on my next visit. We finished with a chocolate Brownie which literally melted in your mouth. Excellent service and very welcoming with great food and a sunny outdoor seating area.

This place is elegant with an awesome vibe. I went for take away breakfast and the food was amazing. The service was speedy and friendly. Their take away bacon sandwich are absolutely incredible! Plus it’s all at an affordable price. Can totally recommend it and will definitely come back again.

Wanted to do a family roast for mothers day as haven't been able to do one for ages. so decided to treat ourselves to some beef fore rib, was unsure how to cook it so asked for Cooking instruction, which produced one of the best if not the best joint we had, can not wait to come back again.

Lovely place to eat and buy delicious food really good quality and very clean. The staff are also very polite. 5 stars!

I have missed doing a big family roast( courtesy of covid) so on a wet day last week ,I decided a nice roast pork meal would be nice.Phoned Simon from Uptons and he said they had a new breed in, 1/2 Sandy& Black,and 1/2 Pitrian.It didn't mean much at the time, I left it to him to chine and score it,and my husband picked it up,all preparedI simply threw a bit of sea salt on it in a dish 250,-°left it for 1/2 an hour then another hour on170°with the par boiled potatoes carrots and parsnips around it to cook in the pork fat.simple as!OMG you will never have tasted a more delicious piece of meat ever,the flavour was outstanding, the texture was melt in the mouth crispy crackling, and juices that made perfect gravy .My husband, and 2 grandchildren (who collected a dinner) all agreed it was the best roast they'd ever had!If you like pork, please try it, you'll never want any other

Got a breakfast box here to do Hubs a fry up on his birthday. Simon was really responsive to emails, really helpful & put us together a smashing box which was delicious & great value. We’ve eaten in the bistro too, so we knew it would be good. Really great, will keep coming back. Thanks very much to all the team.

The most delicious and stunning meat from a top butchers in Southampton. Seriously so impressed with the quality and would highly recommend Uptons over any supermarket for the value and taste. A very friendly and helpful team of staff who go the extra mile to help you find exactly what you are looking for. Oh and you can't leave without buying a sausage roll!

We ordered a beef Wellington and it was one of the best meals I have ever eaten! Divine beef and such wonderful flavours. The pastry was cooked all the way and was buttery and scrumptious. The beef was rare in the middle and just juicy! Thank you did the cooking instructions! An amazing butchery and I recommend to all !

A simply unbelievable piece of beef filet. The best Wellington I’ve ever tasted - outstanding service, as always, too.

Lovely bread and sausages,avocado ,chicken and a perfect poached egg. Very enjoyable brunch. Service was excellent .

Superb evening, excellent meal. Jacobs ladder, hogget ribs, pork ribs, wild boar ribs, chuck fingers, brisket... salads, kimchi. And brownies for dessert. 👍

I simply love the place! As family we recently attended a pop-up steak dinner (we had few other pop-up dinners there before) and as always it was a very pleasant evening. Lovely dinner and great hosting from Simon and team.I also visit the shop on regular basis for the meat counter and breakfast or lunch at the bistrot and I have always been pleased by the food and the service by the team...If you love meat you will love Uptons! :-)

Very good breakfast. And the staff was very friendly. I strongly recommend.Cozy space and beautiful decor.

Katarina’s Peruvian Chicken bagel “best bagel in Britain award” is fully deserved. So deliciously full of flavour. With avacado, Mayo, coriander etc and pork crackling on the side. What is not to love. I have frequented Upton’s for over 30 years. Simon and his team raise the bar year after year. Bistro was a great addition. You won’t get a better lunch. Well done. Never found another butcher to come close. Sorry photo isn’t better. I had wrecked it before taking it.

Visited here not so long ago just on an off chance... bacon butty to die for! Remarkable place, will definitely be returning to this establishment!

Look no further than Uptons . Simon and his team are totally professional, they care about their customers, and above all provide top grade meat products. The flavour and texture of the meat is second to none and has converted me to continue to support Uptons for years to come. .
