Reviews in Southampton

We moved out of Southampton last year and it was very nice to have dinner with friends at one of our favourite places. Good food and service as usual. It was nice to see the bands playing again too.

A very pleasant lunchtime/afternoon from 12.00 to about 17.00. 7 blokes, loved the food, the beer and the staff. We will return as soon as we can sort a date between us.

The food was really good and tasty, I had halloumi and chorizo salad and some chips. Great service too and was really grateful to be served drinks at our table as the bar area was really busy. Love the open fire and cosy atmosphere... thanks for a really great evening.

Didn't get there; Storm Eunice had other ideas. Rebooked for 7th March

Flipping brilliant night out having awesome food and the most AMAZING band play!! Had an amazing time out and definitely going to make it a regular thing!

Came for a meal on Friday night and had pre booked. As usual, amazing, delicious home cooked food in a cosy atmosphere. Love it here

A great way to spend a Saturday evening, burgers & chips were tasty, staff friendly & loved the live music

Friday evening at The Platform Tavern, another excellent live music performance! Unfortunately the Specials Menu we were told was unavailable which was a shame as my partner and I were intending to chose from it ! However this was no problem in the end as we thoroughly enjoyed our burgers, nicely presented with a tasty slaw and thick fries, pleasantly washed down with the house red ! Good value food and wine, great atmosphere as always , friendly efficient staff and good professional musicians - an evening thoroughly enjoyed once again !

What a fantastic Sunday Roast, beautifully cooked Spatchcock chicken and tender Beef and lots of it! Good mix of veg and very tasty gravy. Staff so friendly and pleasant. The bonus was the acoustic set by Andy Grant…we’ll be back for sure

Came here firstly a couple of years ago and fell in love with this little jem. Myself and sister had a fab afternoon on Saturday 8th January amazing service, great food and just a lovely and comfortable atmosphere really love it here and highly recommended.

Hands down one of the best pubs in Southampton. The staff is incredibly helpful, polite, hard-working & friendly!

Great and fast service, good atmosphere.

Very good food and excellent service in a friendly pub.

Very enjoyable evening, great music and our roast dinner was tasty great protion sixe and arrived at the table steaming hot. What more could anyone ask for. Thanks to the team, great service all round

First time back for a while, still excellent, great service, food and beer, highly recommended.

Platform Tavern is hands down our favourite pub in Southampton. During lockdown we had a number of roast dinners delivered from there and the staff were always so helpful and accommodating. We decided to head there in-person as we'd heard so many good things about the place itself. The food is incredible and the atmosphere is just so relaxed - they're definitely not in any rush to get you in, fed and out like some places. There's regular live music which we love too!

So glad to be back at the Platform ! Original band had to cry off but Stewart used his contacts to drum up more than adequate replacements, such professional musicians ! Food in past years has always been fine without being exceptional, but new chef has upped the quality and style noticeably! My pork belly and partner’s red snapper from the specials board both excellent, well presented and so full of flavour. This and such friendly courteous staff makes for a thoroughly enjoyable experience, especially when accompanied by superb live music ! Looking forward to much more of the same in the coming months ! Well done The Platform Tavern !
