About The Platform Tavern

The Platform Tavern is a charming pub situated by the dockyards in Southampton and just a short walk from the city centre. It dates back to 1873 but is built partly within the old medieval walls which can be seen in the bar. The décor is relaxed and has an ethnic feel, with walls adorned with masks, relics and pictures. Cosy up by the fire during the winter months and soak up the sun with outdoor seating in the summer. The pub is open every day for lunch and dinner and all food is freshly prepared using local ingredients. The menu encompasses light bites and Mediterranean tapas, home-made pub classics including their famous pies, burgers, and fish and chips, a pizza menu and an à la carte selection. All dishes are prepared in-house so most dietary needs can be catered for, with allergens provided. There’s a great selection of house or premium wines and spirits, and always something new to try on cask. The Platform Tavern also has live music every week for free.

This is the second time I've visited the Platform Tavern for a Sunday roast. Both times it has been delicious. I had roast beef the first time & lamb on the second visit. You get plenty of food & it's good quality. The staff are really friendly & nothing is too much trouble. The pub has a lovely atmosphere too & everyone is made to feel welcome. I will definitely return for another roast & highly recommend a visit.

Our favourite pub we love the chilli Nacho starter and the pies are proper with short crust pastry and plenty of gravy and a good slice of pie. Music is always good atmosphere good and a great selection of ales. Staff lovely.
