Yellow Welly Cafe in Southampton

Hermoso desayuno esta mañana. La comida estaba deliciosa y hecha bien. Buen ambiente agradable y a un precio muy razonable.

Visitar The Solent para un descanso de vela desde la costa este The Yellow Welly nos fue recomendado. ¡Qué descubrimiento después de varios años visitando toda la zona! Gran comida, gran recepción del personal y gran relación calidad-precio (¿está bien usar tres "grandes" en una frase? ) Por supuesto, las salchichas y baguettes de tocino DEBEN recibir una mención, absolutamente vale la pena la visita! Nos vemos el año que viene todo bien. Gracias. Lente

Discovered by accident and pleased we did. The food is cooked fresh and was very tasty, especially the sausages. The staff were attentive and the banter between the 3 ladies was comical. Especially liked the names on the staff tee shirts. Did ask The Crazy One if they were true reflection and she stated that they very appropriate. Highly recommended for the food and the staff

Had breakfast here a few time during my Day Skipper course. Excellent. Good wholesome food to keep you going whether on the water or on land. Lovey staff.

The food is cooked to order and very tasty and the sausages are excellent (I understand they are locally produced). But what made this visit today was the two lovely ladies working there. Happy, friendly and good conversation with the customers. Sometimes I have been in and you have to wait as the person serving spends far too long gossiping with the customers instead of serving, however this was not the case today. These two ladies are a definite bonus to the cafe and I will be back when we return in June.

Friendly team that absolutely do their best to give you great food. It’s a cafe, so don’t expect Michelin star stuff, but they have specials such as pulled pork and coleslaw. My bun for my pulled pork burger had freezer burn which was a shame, but it tasted good. Coffee here is great. Important if you’re here on a RYA course because theirs is terrible!

Discovered this cafe while visiting Shamrock Quay. Although extremely busy, there was a very friendly welcome when we walked in by the lady on the till (loved the name on the t-shirt and will now always ask for fully leaded Coke - great saying). The lady cooking the food made a grand job of our hot banquettes, and those sausages are so tasty. Welcoming atmosphere although feel the third lady in the team could do with smiling occasionally. Highly recommended well worth the visit if in the area

Situated in Shamrock Quays this is a little gem of a place. Great food at reasonable prices and a really warm friendly welcome from the staff who are friendly and fun. The quality of the welcome and food remained high even when they were very busy during the Round the island poweboat event. (would have got 5 stars if the cafe stayed open later :) )

Magic. Simple, good quality, warm welcome. Ace job well done. Will definitely be back if in the area. Nice thick bacon well cooked

Always friendly service from Kelly, Ted and Vicky. Ideal lunchtime venue for eat in or takeaway Not the quickest- might be good to get some baguettes ready made?

Called in today for a Bacon & Sausage Sandwich.Two really friendly ladies and a sandwich to die for . Done just how I like my bacon( I’m at St Mary’s Stadium quite regularly ) So I will be Back !Lovely Grub and friendly atmosphere

Stopped for 3 x cooked breakfast & a sausage sandwich before our Sailing course. Great quality, good company with owners and absolutely superbly cooked breakfast!!

Had a very tasty range of breakfast sandwiches. Reasonable pricing and extremely friendly service. Highly recommend helping this local independent cafe on Shamrock Quay, as parking and marina vista available.

Well, I had a bad nights sleep by the docks and felt a hearty breakfast would perk me up. It didn't, but the service from Vickie, was cheering. The friendly welcome, banter and delicious food was wanderful. Thank you.

I use to come here a few years ago and now my boat is berthed back at Shamrock so I have popped in a few times recently. My only criticism would be the hygiene, The staff handling money and then preparing cold foods without washing their hands. Who knows what people have touched before handing cash over and the card machine.

I always go to yellow welly for a great big full English breakfast whenever I’m in town. Makes a great start to the day

I use this company regularly and have always found them to be both attentive and professional whether they are at peak periods or otherwise. The food is good quality and a consistently good standard. I send many customers to them as a local business and have never received any complaints since May 2018! Which is a testament in itself I believe.

We found ourselves in the Yellow Welly 3 times in 2 days whilst completing a powerboat course. Each time the food was well cooked, filling and importantly, the welcome and hospitality was second to none! See you again next time we're in Southampton.

He comido aquí mucho recientemente, ya que este es el único lugar enShamrock Quay que está abierto durante el día y he estado en el comercio de velas en Solent Sailing, al lado.Abre de 7:00 a.m. de viernes, 8:30 de lunes a viernes. Abierto hasta después de la hora del almuerzo, cierra 1430 los fines de semana.Amplia variedad de desayunos, sándwiches, empanadas, papas fritas, etc., todos recién preparados.El personal es acogedor y amable. Las pociones se están llenando. Vale la pena una visita si necesita carburador.

Hice mi primera visita el día 18. 02. 19 como estaba cerca de un curso de vela.Apareció y lo encontró limpio y bien dispuesto. El amable personal del lugar me preparó una baguette de salchichas, huevos y champiñones.Fue perfecto y comenzó mi día muy bien por cierto.Muchas gracias.

Proper traditional British Breakfast Cafe that also makes very good ham salad baguettes. Staff are super lovely, helpful and also usefully very knowledgable about boats.

Went here for breakfast with the missus, excellent food, staff were happy to serve, well priced. Definately recommended.

Great little cafe in Shamrock Quay marina. Good for a coffee, breakfast or lunch. Fresh food which is prepared by the friendly staff. Buzzy little place.

Just been back to the yellow welly. Just as good as last time great service very pleasant staff everything cooked fresh and worth the wait. Freshly cooked food not reheated as a lot of cafes these days.

Mi marido y yo amamos los desayunos cocinados en The Yellow Welly. La calidad de los ingredientes realmente se destaca (la morcilla de Owton's es divina) y la comida recién hecha.

I visited a lovely cafe at Shamrock Quay. The staff are warm and welcoming and there is a lovely atmosphere between customers and staff. I cannot recommend the sausages sandwiches enough. I will definitely be going back

A Friendly, happy place which is the center of the Marina community. The Yellow Welly is a great stop off for breakfast or or a lunch time baguette. Kelly and Ted and their team always create me with the warmest of welcomes. I always leave knowing I'll be back very soon, for more laughs and a lovely lunch.

Thought we would try somewhere new. Walked in to an over stressed cook and being told you will have to wait if you want a drink! There were only 2 people without food and drink,come on that's not service! 2 mins later the cook walks passed out the front door saying very loudly f#$%ing place I need a fag! Then returns with more F words and moaning. I could go on but won't. Never returning. Foul mouthed staff member made sure of that.

I was looking around shamrock quay and came across this cafe. Such a lovely welcome, clean and warm on such a cold day. Food very good, breakfast delicious and freshly cooked. The lady behind the counter was so friendly and helpful. Reasonably priced food. If you are an early riser this cafe opens at 7am during the week. Worth a visit if you are in that area.

The Yellow Welly is a great place to get a spot of breakfast to eat there or to take away to the boat. The food is tasty, the staff are friendly & will cook the way you want it (extra crispy bacon etc)

Popped in on someone else’s recommendation and was not disappointed hubby had full fry with extra black pudding (which was amazing!) and toast and I ordered off menu as on slimming world and the ladies were very accommodating doing me a poached egg on toast. Friendly staff, food was great quality, service was quick and it was toasty was on a cold wet morning

This is a cheerful little café and it gets very busy at lunchtime so it quickly runs out of seats and there can be a long que.

Es sábado al mediodía y mi marido y yo decidir que es tiempo para algo de comida, así que tome un viaje a Shamrock Quay para visitar el Amarillo. Welly Un restaurante normal para nosotros en el fin de semana.

Esto se está convirtiendo en un restaurante regular exclusivamente porque el sábado por la mañana el desayuno. Estaba lleno y Jean, nuestro servidor regular, advirtió que habría una demora. . . 'gracias'. . Nada peor que esperan por comida, golpeando con los dedos sobre la mesa. Sólo 10 minutos más tarde llegó la comida y valió la pena el pequeño espera. . . . ❤ LUVERLY. . . . Como puede verse en la foto. El único inconveniente. . . . escuchando otros clientes quejándose de la demora a pesar de recibir la misma advertencia al cliente centrado ya que teníamos.

II quieres un 'cuchara grasienta 'todo tipo día desayuno lugar - con un buen café, un personal amable, que conocen a sus clientes habituales de té muy fuerte, pero en un constructores luminosas, limpias, bien iluminadas y luego café amarillo la Welly es el lugar....

Yo, entrad en el Welly más días, cuando estoy en el REINO UNIDO, con mi perro, que tiene su propia esquina! Vivir en España echo un café decente y tengo que decir que el café de aquí es fantástica. Kelly, Sarah, Jean y Lucy salir...

Utilizamos el cafe para el desayuno mientras escala en Shamrock Quay. Los desayunos son sin duda una buena relación calidad-precio y una gran manera de comenzar el día! !

Cayó en un rápido sándwich de tocino y té antes de salir en el agua. Un pequeño café en la mañana y el personal se las arregló bien.

Tenía un sándwich para llevar almuerzo (desayuno) y una y ambos fueron excelentes. Los precios son razonables.

El servicio siempre con una sonrisa que es seguido por un bocata rápido. Muchos días el tocino baguette me ha salvado del frío y de la lluvia. Si estás en el Shamrock Quay es una necesidad antes de embarcarse en aventuras de aguada.

Love coming here - the staff welcome you and service is fabulous. Food is good, plentiful and not expensive

Handy little cafe friendly service great food everything you need to keep you going. Just around the corner from our course

I've been coming here for years and have never been disappointed. Kelly & Ted, ALWAYS make you feel welcome and they promote good customer service and quality grub. Yes, sometimes, there's a delay but for no other reasons than the food is cooked to order and the place over lunchtime is heaving. That being said, put the good choice of breakfasts and the daily specials to one side (temporarily), ignore, if you can, the freshly made cakes and put on hold your latte, skinny or otherwise and get your laughing gear around any of Kelly's baguettes but more especially her homemade Coronation Chicken.....DEEEELISH!!!

Popped in for coffee, lovely friendly staff. Breakfast looked good, hugely better than the upmarket hotel we had just stayed in. Well worth a visit.

Great food always served with a smile. Highly recommended a favorite watering hole for business or pleasure.

Found this place on trip advisor as I was In the area and wanted a cafe for a fry up. Very friendly staff and a good choice of coffee. I had a good breakfast but my only criticism would be that it should come with bread and butter or toast as standard. All in all though a very clean and friendly cafe and good food. I would recommend this place.

Called in here for breakfast before going out on the water. Conveniently placed, fair priced, and very tasty bacon baguettes! Will use again when I am in the area.

Every morning I come in for a brew and breakie. Every morning Im met with a smile and a welcome that brightens my day.The staff always have time for a chat while slaving away at the cooker.

Well what can I say.. Normally this place is great. I always went out of my way to visit the yellow welly for breakfast even though I have many places to go to in Ocean Village. Today I went to the Yellow Welly with my son and a friend for breaky and was met by the most miserable staff hands down. There were 2 members of staff sitting when we walked in doing nothing while a table had dirty plates and cups. 15 minutes in it was getting busier and a customer had to clear it of the table himself. Something they should of done earlier when there was no customers. The young girl that was serving has an nose ring. She was so unfriendly and miserable that she made the whole experience flat. By the time I left I was really irritated by the whole experience. I think that maybe the last £20 I spend in there for a long while. Kelly, you need to look in to this as I am not alone and you will loose some of the regulars that have been loyal to Yellow Welly for May years. PS. The other girl was ok. Get rid of nose ring girl. She should not being working in the service industry. Harsh but true.

This is a great little cafe, food ingredients are wholesome and the barista coffee is good. I have used the Yellow Welly for years now. A couple of summers ago they employed young happy post grads, they were like a gale of fresh air, happy interested chatty and good at their job. BRILLIANT. Now ? there are bored looking hardly a word spoken dull staff, and having read other reviews, there is no need to check which dates they are on, they are there every weekend. PLEASE get some happy young trained people or the trade will dry up. Wetherspoon is £3 for a full breakfast including toast and tea, yours is £7 for the same. I love the Yellow Welly and when Kel is there, there's a hello darling how are you, etc. Please get it sorted.

Food is always good and the staff are very friendly and helpful. Always recommend it to friends and fellow colleagues. Thank you ladies :)

This a basic English café, we only dropped in for a quick drink and the coffee a proper mug full was great. The place seemed to be well attended and the staff were very plesent.

Run buy a very nice lady, coffee and bacon butties with a smile. Only been there once but will be back.

This is written after my second visit here in two weeks. The food is good here - good quality sausages, bacon etc. Sadly the food ingredient quality is far from being matched by the staff. Tea and coffee is average despite having all the right kit behind the counter. On both occasions I had a full English - both times well cooked and tasty. But rather slow in coming. The staff give every impression of wishing they were somewhere else. On my second visit I was the first customer of the day and I was not spoken to at all! Not a word. So, good food made with good ingredients but sullen staff that need training or changing. Was it good value - well no. Not really. It's a convenient location but next time I will definitely try to find an alternative.

I come here for lunch and other snacks during the working week. These guys are really friendly and genuinely helpful. It is a great cafe, with good food, fairly priced and served with care.

Good choice of food on offer from a baguettes to a full English breakfast and more. Prices not bad either. Baguettes always have a generous filling in them. Though they could do with having more baguettes ready or else its a wait and they'll still be warm. Not a good combo if having a cold salad filling.Shame they're not open longer on a weekend afternoon especially after a day of working on the boat or returning after a trip out.

This used to be a great little cafe but this mornings experience has put me off. An egg sandwich meant one overdone egg slapped between two slices of supermarket bread and not even cut in half. Tea took ages and came without milk which I had to ask for. Probably won't go back.

After reading great reviews on TripAdvisor, thought I would come and hunt it down, off a road and into a Quay, this quaint little cafe, is up to recommendations, Emma is always smiling so that helps, will be coming back, great job and keep it up.

This place is great, perfect for a quick bite to eat when you are down working on a boat, etc. Had a bacon baguette, it was fabulous, fresh and stuffed with bacon. Always had decent, honest food here. Will be back.

cheap and reasonable quality .. varied menu .. friendly staff .. but only limited opening times which is a shame if your a bertholder

Delivered a boat to the Marina yesterday and fancied a cuppa and something to eat so right opposite where we were unloading was the Yellow Welly great name, Over we walked and in to a very busy little cafe (good sign usually) a que to the door(sometimes a good sign depending how long your in it for) well not for long it seemed. A member of staff placed two meals on a table next to where we were standing and they looked lovely hot clean and plenty of it.when we got to the counter we were greated with a lovely hello and a sorry for the wait but it wasnt that long where we ordered two Jacket potatoes with beans and cheese like one of the meals placed on the table when we came in though sometimes very simple but some can be hard and under cooked they were delicious and hot served with a side salad if you wanted.In all great service at a busy time in there day cooked to perfection the food went down a treat many thanks.

I visit the Yellow Welly at least once a week and all the food is cooked fresh whilst you wait and it all of very good quality and the sausages are awesome. Not too pricey and the staff are always happy and friendly even if the customers are grumpy.

We've been using The Yellow Welly for a number of years now, certainly since Southampton Football Club's days in League One. Our visits tend to be lunchtime on a Saturday before a game (although this is less reliable thanks to the delights of PL football and PPV TV moving kick-offs) and we have always found the service excellent (and very cheerful), the food very good (and the staff willing to accommodate "non-standard" requests!) and great value. I have also used it for a few casual business one-to-one breakfasts and again found similar standards of service, quality and value despite the early hour! A definite favourite.

Good breakfast & takeaway bacon or sausage sandwiches freshly cooked just the ticket when you wake up in the morning after a night on the boat.

Average bored looking staff .. Average café food .. reasonable quality and price .. convenient for the berth holders for quick breakfast

Again we are spoilt for choice near my work the Yellow Welly has the best breakfasts around but also a good lunch menu

We stopped off for a quick coffee - staff were very friendly and the food looked good (although we didn't eat on this occasion)

Called in to a great little cafe called the yellow welly for breakfast. Very clean and great staff very friendly.ordered 2 full English which my wife and I both enjoyed.and everything was cooked fresh not re-heated like a lot of cafe.s would eat there again on our next visit.

I often eat in cafes as my job has me travelling around alot and I must say the service received was second to none the staff were friendly happy to engage in a bit of banter and the food arrived in a timely fashion despite them being busy x the sauages were high in quality as was the bacon no skimping in quality or in portion size would definately recommend this place x one very happy customer x

I wouldn't normally write a review, but I read a review which does not reflect my experience by so much I felt the need to contradict it.I am a bit of an amature chef, cooking for up to 160. I know ingredients and can say the sausages I ate were butcher made, the bacon was top quality and the baked beans were defintely heinz.I do not normally expect much from a cafe but the standard of food and service were excellent.

Not sure where '13_DBLE' ate (maybe 13 is an unlucky number..?) but this place is an oasis for me, one that I have been visiting for many years. I deliver boats all over Europe and myself and my crew always look forward to the instruction "take it to Shamrock Quay" as we always know, no matter how bad the trip, the Yellow Welly Brekkie is waiting for us - always served with a smile and a giggle!DBLE unlucky I guess Mr 13....

The cheapest possible ingredients from the local cash and carry, either burnt or undercooked. Unless you like bread 'buttered' with greasy spread, your bacon undercooked and your eggs broken, with the whole lot slopped onto a plate like a school dinner, give it a miss, avoid disappointment.

This is a typical cafe - teas, coffee, fry-ups, sandwiches etc. The staff are friendly and the food is good, but it can get very busy which slows the service a little.

After a couple of disappointing experiences with breakfasts at the Premier Inn, we went in search of a better experience and stumbled across this gem, Me and my Colleagues all went for the full English breakfast and we all left satisfied. Everything was cooked to a good standard and tasted great, staff were friendly and too my surprise they actually gave you a half decent orange juice as well, which is a rare one now days. Textbook example of why you should give cafe chains a miss, Will definitely visit again!

I visited the Yellow Welly week commencing 30 September 2013 whilst my husband was on a power boat experience. I can say I was totally surprised at what a little gem this place was. The lady's where funny and quite a source of entertainment with lots of banter with what I can only assume are very happy regular customers and newbies like me . The bacon and sausage sandwich I would heartily recommend. There are lost of places that you go and the bacon is so thin and sausages are cheap and nasty. This was defiantly not the case, two rashes of bacon and two hand made sausages. Very generous sizes and great quality. Thank you ladies for great food and great customer care! (Both of which are hard to find especially together)

Went to the yellow welly in search of a hearty breakfast. The two staff that were on we're not welcoming to say the least, almost to much for them to serve you. Breakfast came with very cheap sausages and extremely fatty undercooked back bacon. Nothing would make me return here for food!

Whether a full English sit down or takeaway bacon and mushroom baguette, this place is good quality and good value. Friendly service too, although do be patient when they are busy. Hot chocolate is nice as well! It's a small cafe in the Shamrock Quay Marina so not a romantic venue, hence my low rating for Romance but taking it away and eating on the back of your boyfriend's boat is romantic!!

From the minute my husband and I walked into the cafe we were made to feel very welcome. The menu met both our 'fussy' requirements. Nothing was too much for our waitress. The food was fresh, hot and presented nicely. I wouldnt hesitate in recommending this cafe and I know my husband and I will be visiting again. Thank you Yellow Welly x

My husband and I have both visited this cafe in our youth, when sailing in the area. After dropping our son off for a day sail we dropped by to see if the cafe was still here and open. It was! We had a very tasty breakfast, served by a lovely cook / waitress.

After visiting the cafe a number of times it has never failed to impress! Great service and quality food! Food always hot and freshly cooked. Great portion sizes and a wide range to choose from. Excellent value for money and I shall continue to eat there. Would highly recommend to anybody!

Best full breakfast I've had in ages excellent quick friendly service, great value for money would defiantly recommend and will be visiting again shortly.

We as a family visit here when we can as a treat for a cooked breakfast on a Sunday. The food is always served hot, always brought out together and delicious. I am fussy being a vegetarian but this is the best one I have ever had which is why we love going back time and time again. Prices are good too.

The Yellow Welly is located at Shamrock Quay marina in Southampton. For a quick bite before or after a sail it's just perfect. Bacon Butties etc. good mug of tea or coffee. Nothing fancy, just good honest basic fare and good value.

brilliant bacon butties delivered by a friendly crew - this is a great place for a hearty breakfast or takeaway picnic rolls. Judging by the orders being taken this is a very popular no fuss venue

I regularly visit this charming cafe and have always found the food and staff brilliant. Nothing is never too much trouble I always look forward to visiting.

On a course nearby so visited. Crisp salad and brilliant jacket with crispy skin and plenty of beans. Service a little slow, but they were very friendly!

Working nearby I visit probably more than I should, this says lots about the food and service.Great little cafe with great friendly staff.Good range of breakfasts, sandwiches, hot food like jacket potatoes. Portions are good value.Special mention has to go to the magnificent Hot chocolates!
