Reviews in Southampton

Just moved into our house which is within walking distance of The Master Builder. Booked a table, taking a chance, very, very glad I did. Staff were very welcoming. Nothing was too much trouble for myself & my family. Food was excellent, beer was good. I've got a feeling I'm going to becoming a regular. The staff seemed to know all the customers & I got the feeling of it being an old fashioned local but with a modern twist being quality food served hot & well cooked. Thank you.

We have been for a Sunday carvery four times now with our friends and will be booking our fifth. The staff are lovely and the carvery is delicious. Love the cauliflower cheese. Totally recommend.

A fantastic Sunday carvery. Very friendly staff and superb food. We will definitely be back and recommend to others.

Fab family meal had at TMB. We'd not been here for a while but we're pleasantly surprised how good the food was. The staff were really friendly and made us feel very welcome. Will definitely be back for more!

One again The Platform Tavern came up trumps! 4 of us attended the Friday Blues Night. Food was fantastic, service amazing and music brilliant. Will be back!

Great Sunday roast with a lovely selection of home cooked veg. Especially the parsnips, cauliflower cheese and roasties!

First time visiting for a carvery. Highly recommend, busy but understandable, lots of selection and not stingey on the meat neither. Will absolutely be returning

What a lovely pub. Great staff, lovely customers, a really friendly atmosphere. The steak and ale pie was a tasty and generous portion. The Mac cheese was lovely and even if both of these main meals had been poor we would have returned just for the chips! Just amazing! We were en route to the ferry and will definitely visit again next time.

Great sunday roast , fantastic beef cooked to medium . Eat your heart out Toby , will be going here instead .

Lovely food and really fresh and hot. Staff were lovely too and great atmosphere. However, it was busy and there seemed to be no organisation in regards to who was serving, who was directing people to their reserved tables etc. There was no indication what to do to find your reserved table - just stand in a huge huddle at the bar amongst people ordering drinks until a member of staff notices you.

Amazing Sunday lunch!! Perfect carvery with 2 or 3 choice of meats all home cooked veg and lovely cauliflower cheese! Highly recommended and excellent customer service!

Sunday carvery about 4 times going there Excellent food portion size of meat Excellent cooked to perfection certainly recommended won't go no where else local .Service very good and welcoming

excellent meal very generous cooked to perfection outstanding value for money

Staff welcoming had special board asked before our food what sauces we wanted which thought was good touch food sizes good had mix grill all cooked lovely

It was the first time I have been to this pub, the food was great and of good size . I had a ploughman's lunch which I enjoyed and there was so much I took some home. The staff were warming and attentive. I will most definitely go again.

Although our table place wasnt exactly ideal at the top of the stairs as it was very busy, the quality of the Sunday roast was excellent. Probably the best I have had in decades. Well done to everyone - we will be back soon.

We were given a great table with a view of the excellent band. There were 4 of us, 2 veggies and 2 carnivores - all were very happy with the food. Good quality pub food and good value too with excellent local beer. The evening was a successful birthday treat with great atmosphere and service. Already booked again to return in a few weeks.
