The best restaurants serving British food in Bargate Southampton South East

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!

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.

We've loved Porters since it first opened and have been multiple times. Great range of cheeses and meats and the boards are so rich with a great selection of extras. It's also very good price for how much food you receive. The wine list is big and easy to find something to match your board. The cocktail choice is also big and their espresso martinis are easily the best I've had anywhere. The mint chocolate is my recommendation! It's a great place for any occasion and we've always encountered very friendly and attentive staff. If you haven't been yet... Why not? It's absolutely worth it.

Deserves five stars all round but the prices have shot up, I understand the cost of utilities have gone up, but if I’m paying those prices I may as well go to ocean village and have a view and a toilet that’s accessible to my disabled wife

Great place, not only finally somewhere offering smaller portions at a reduced price as a lunch deal but also the best chips in Southampton hands down, warm, crispy on the outside and freshly cooked!

This is my first review, prompted by a deeply disappointing experience at this restaurant. With considerable experience in the food industry, I expected the produce to be fresh and well-sourced, especially given the restaurant's location. Unfortunately, that was not the case. I began with the calamari, which was not fresh and tasted as though it had been defrosted and microwaved. For my main course, I ordered the ribeye steak. Although it was cooked well, the meat was extremely tough and did not mask its poor quality. Additionally, all the food was served at an uncomfortably cold temperature. It seemed that, on this particular night, the staff was attempting to compensate for the subpar service and food quality by offering excessive amounts of parmesan cheese. My partner and I were approached three times by different servers, each offering more cheese instead of addressing our need for water. In summary, while the atmosphere was pleasant, the overall experience was an unfortunate waste of money that I would have preferred to spend elsewhere.

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

I recently treated my uncle to a true British culinary experience. He never tried fish and chips before, so I took him to one of the Southamptons best chippy. I ordered large haddock and chips and he decided to get large cod and chips. Both of the fishes were delicious and very fresh. You can tell that the fish was not frozen because it did not had the weird aftertaste. I would say the haddock was better than the cod, but it all comes down to what you prefer in the end. Out of all the fish and chips I have ever eaten, this gets crowned for the biggest one. I genuinely had a hard time finishing mine and my uncle just couldn’t finish it. At around £14 per person, including drinks, the price was reasonable considering the quantity of the food. They also serve other chippy classics such as scampi, cod roe, fishcake and many more. Overall if you ever fancy a proper fish and chips then you should give this place a go.

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

We held my daughter Erin and son in law Alans wedding reception here. What a great reception it was! Huge thanks to all the staff- what a crew!! They each were so helpful and friendly I couldn't thank them enough. I felt they went out of their way for us, but they insist it's what they do. Jason, Donna, James ..all of you, you made the day perfect! Lynn.

Nice food, friendly staff and very clean. Menu extensive. Prices and portion sizes were very good. Not a very pretty location, but if you don’t want to eat in a chain restaurant or fast food this place is great.

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.

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?

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

A superb consistently good deli restaurant with excellent menu choices. Been a few times over the last 7 years. Very worthy of a visit
