The best restaurants serving British food in Bargate Southampton South East

Mi esposo y yo reservamos una semana en la Isla de Wight y cuando mi esposo estaba haciendo la reserva del ferry con Wightlink, notó la opción Signature Lounge. Muy contento de haber ido por esto. Viajamos a principios de noviembre cuando hacía mal tiempo, de hecho, no sabíamos si el ferry iba a ser cancelado. Al momento de escribir esto, cuesta 10 adicionales por trayecto, lo que, si puede pagar un poco más, vale la pena. El salón es de primera clase con hermosos muebles, revistas y periódicos para leer. También hay una selección de cafés gratuitos (cappuccino, lattes, etc.) y tés, zumos de frutas y también pasteles. Había una selección de otras bebidas y una pequeña selección de sándwiches, pero estos fueron extra. Teniendo en cuenta lo mal que estaba el clima y cuán ocupado y ruidoso, el resto del barco era bastante agradable tener relativa paz y tranquilidad durante una hora. Básicamente, es como pagar la primera clase por una hora y no se permiten niños. Lo recomiendo absolutamente.

Absolutely divine. Top quality ingredients, put together perfectly. I had a Goats cheese, salad and Irish black butter, sourdough sandwich. Very good service too. You can also purchase the ingredients in house to make at home, which I did so!

Fantastic atmosphere and wonderful food.

Gran lugar, no solo finalmente en algún lugar que ofrece porciones más pequeñas a un precio reducido como oferta de almuerzo, sino también las mejores patatas fritas en Southampton manos abajo, caliente, crujiente en el exterior y recién cocinado!

We visited Blue Island on our first ever evening in Southampton. It's kind of spoiled all future evenings in this city, because it is difficult to imagine a more enjoyable meal! We were drawn to the restaurant by the excellent reviews, its proximity to our Premier Inn, and our fancying Greek food. From the welcome on the phone and on arrival, to our departure two hours later, we were looked after like old friends. I'm sorry I don't have names, but the owners are so friendly and cheery, in addition to providing first-rate service. As with many previous diners, we chose the Meze Meal for Two. Fabulous value; delicious food! Really, there is little more to say, other than, we cannot recommend Blue Island too highly. Loved it! Thank you for giving us such a lovely evening/meal.

Having booked a show at the local theatre we researched and selected this restaurant in the main as it had a lovely menu and was walking distance to the hotel and theatre. Booked over the phone and the gentleman was lovely. We arrived and from the first moment to the last the service was great. We especially liked the chef / owner coming to each table to ask how the food and service was. The service stayed already was great and the food was lovely. Indeed my favourite bruschetta to date and I’ve been Italy a few times too. The pasta was terrific and puddings superb. Would we come back if we were in the area again absolutely. 💯

Great Public Inn,great drinks,great prices & a friendly atmosphere,fantastic staff. Also very clean! - toilets are fab too.

Food was really nice would order again

Had the Margherita pizza which was good. Good service. No vegan options available :(

A great theatre! Staff were friendly, and the shows are great

Este es un gran restaurante para el desayuno, y es muy popular entre los lugareños. Por £ 15 , se obtiene un desayuno inglés completo 'Big Boss', patatas fritas, y cualquier bebida. ¡Eso es lo que yo llamo un trato! No necesariamente diría que los ingredientes son de primera calidad, pero el generoso tamaño de las porciones lo compensa. Todo sabía bien; no estaban mal, solo mediocres, pero lo aceptaría, ya que es bastante difícil elevar un desayuno inglés completo. El menú tiene muchas opciones excelentes para todos, incluyendo panqueques, envolturas y huevos reales. Por ejemplo, mi novia pidió tostadas francesas, que eran muy sabrosas. Vino con naranjas, arándanos y plátanos. También disfruté de mi moca; fue mejor que algunos cafés especiales en los que he estado. En general, es un gran lugar si quieres un desayuno grande, rápido y sabroso.

Tuve la suerte de tropezar al azar con este lugar y no podía creerlo cuando bajé las escaleras, ¡como si todo un país de las maravillas se abriera! Hermosa decoración y tema, absolutamente amo a la gente y los pasteles se ven deliciosos. Un lugar genial para ir con amigos y sin duda volveremos.

Restaurant was closed and apparently has been for weeks. Unsure when it will re-open.

Realmente excelente servicio. Estuve allí en un viaje de negocios, y cada miembro del personal fue amable, sonriente y servicial. La comida era abundante. Las bebidas se reponían regularmente. ¿Gracias por cuidarnos tan bien?

A Charming Boutique Stay with a Few Minor Hiccups I recently stayed at The Pig – in the Wall during a short business trip to Southampton, and overall, it was a fantastic experience. This charming boutique hotel offers a cozy, rustic atmosphere combined with modern comfort, making it an ideal retreat after a long day of meetings. From the moment I arrived, the staff was warm and welcoming, ensuring a smooth check-in. My room was beautifully decorated with vintage touches, a comfortable bed, and a well-stocked larder, which was a delightful surprise. The attention to detail in the design really makes this hotel feel special. One of the highlights of my stay was the food. The breakfast was fresh and delicious, with locally sourced ingredients that added to the charm of the place. While the hotel doesn’t have a full restaurant, the deli offers tasty small plates, and the sister hotel, The Pig in the Forest, is just a short drive away if you’re looking for a more extensive dining experience. The location is another plus – nestled within Southampton’s medieval walls, it’s perfect for exploring the city or catching a ferry to the Isle of Wight. Despite being central, the hotel maintains a peaceful and intimate atmosphere. The only reason I’m giving 4.5 stars instead of 5 is that the Wi-Fi was a bit spotty at times, which was slightly inconvenient since I needed to get some work done. Additionally, while the rustic charm is lovely, the lighting in my room was quite dim, making it a little difficult to work comfortably in the evenings. That being said, The Pig – in the Wall is a wonderful place to stay, blending history, comfort, and great service. I would absolutely return – though next time, I might bring a small desk lamp!
