Yummy food as always, great service.

Service was slow. Even though staff asked if we were attending the show and we said yes. Still waited 45 mins for our food. I had ordered chicken as an extra with my carbonara. There was no chicken in my meal when it arrived and the garlic bread was hard. When handed the dessert menu 20mins passed before waitress came back to take order. By that time it was too late as we had to leave for show.

Great proper pub,serving proper pub grub by a great team in a great location

Despite the pub hosting a baby shower and 90th birthday party simultaneously, my party of 3 were made to feel very welcome and the service was prompt, friendly and efficient. The food was excellent

Food OK ish...Had to sit in a cold tent adjoining the pub for a late evening meal..tent was not heated ( it is Autumn) and we paid just under £45 for 2 cod and chips, a glass of Chardonnay and a pint of lager.

For as long as we, my team have been doing the Southampton Boat Show we have been to the Platform Tavern and have nothing to complain about. Try it

We ate here as we were going to watch the lion king and we wanted somewhere near. I’m glad we did, the food was lovely, I had fish and chips, my daughter had salmon pasta and the kids had pizza and Mac and cheese. Everyone loved the food and the kids actually ate all theirs which is a first. Nice size portions cooked too order and very tasty. Staff were lovely, it was busy and there was a bit of a wait but they worked really hard to make sure people got their meals before the show started. Good work girls. Would definitely eat here again.

Have a lovely lunch at The Quarter Lounge, it was tasty, plenty and served hot. The staff were friendly and polite, Initially the waiting staff were efficient but as time went on they became slow. It took almost 20 minutes to clear our table after the mains. We had a show to go to, so we decided not to have a dessert. We waited around 5 minutes to see someone to ask for the bill. After receiving the bill no one came to take our money, so we went to the bar and paid the waitress in cash who seem confused as to why we were paying her. Would we visit here again, yes as the food was very good

Nice place. Quick service which was handy as going to see a show. Reasonable prices (mains only) Food was presented nicely but there was so much salt in the food that both our meals were impossible to finish. Not sure we would go back

My partner and I visited for a meal before a trip to the Mayflower Theatre. Absolutely fantastic meals! Honestly, I have been dreaming about it since we went! The staff were all so friendly and efficient. Fantastic value for money, we will absolutely be going again soon.

Our family of 9, including four children , visited after seeing The Lion King. It was a great end to a lovely afternoon. Our waiter was so friendly and drinks and food arrived very quickly. The kids menu was brilliant and their food, especially the pizza, was very good quality. The adults’ was just as good! We’d definitely return.

2nd pre theatre visit. This was a very disappointing experience. Two chicken dishes ordered, underdone with traces of blood. Servers gave two of us a ‘free’ glass of wine as recompense. Charged and Paid for meals in full. Ordered 3 scoops of ice cream and an Elton mess. The ice cream came with loads of unwanted tasteless berries over the ice cream , tasted but uneaten. Charged and paid in full. Elton mess had a similar topping again tasted but uneaten. Charged and paid in full. Servers were seemingly understanding and apologetic but their manner was not reflected in the total price Charged.

Really enjoyable food prior to going to the mayflower. Catered for all the family.

Booked for 5:15 pm before theatre. Bit of a mix up with the starters and mains but offered refund and the food was delicious. Did get busy so would book early if you need to leave for a show. Would definitely return.

Delightful traditional pub. The food was great and reasonably priced. The service was exceptional, friendly, polite and attentive. Well worth a visit.

Lovely warm welcome , food simple, well cooked , tasty pub classics . We enjoyed our lunch but the pub is really in need of refurbishment or at least redecoration.

My wife and I had dinner at The Platform yesterday. She had a salad and I had a seafood linguine, one of the signature dishes. We both enjoyed it very much. The cuisine and the ambiance were very good and the staff were helpful and friendly. Many pubs try to achieve the standard of cuisine you expect in a good restaurant but The Platform succeeds.
