The best restaurants serving British food in Bargate Southampton South East

So disappointed in the John Lewis Restaurant in Southampton. Lack of staff and no Supervisor around like a few years ago. The only person who had a smile on her face was the lovely lady clearing the tables.

The restaurant was in a terrible state, although there were plenty of empty tables they were all covered in dirty dishes and there wasn't enough staff on duty to clear up the tables, this is not the first time i have noticed this in this restaurant, it seems to a regular occurrence, it never used to be like this, something has gone wrong M&S time to sort it out, you pay a premium price in your restaurants and Cafe and customers are not receiving a premium service.

Such a lovely kind and friendly man served me today. I had a warming lemon and ginger tea with added honey - good quality tea also a banana which was fresh , a good healthy option. A clean and well run cafe / a real asset for Southampton train station.
