Reviews in Southampton

First visit, not our area geographically but it is my sisters. Warm welcome, courteous and quick service, great music. Delicious carvery with 4 choices of meat. The vegetarian amongst us had a tasty nut roast too. There’s a wider menu for other week days… Sunday, it’s simply the carvery… we have to say, it was top notch. Thank you.

We go regularly for a carvery on a Sunday and it really is the best around. Great choice of meats, perfectly cooked vegetables, friendly service from everyone there, we have booked for Mother’s Day as it really is the only place I’d go now, well done all!

Carvery was superb and great staff

Lovely roast lunch as always, very well organised and the food is delicious. Will be back again.

As always, a first-class meal! Staff are always pleasant and welcoming! The beers are always well-kept!! A very enjoyable experience every time!

The food was really tasty, helpful and friendly staff, already booked to go again

Great roast dinner on Sunday, lovely fresh veg & great choice of meat. Puddings also delicious.. Have booked for mother's day..

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.
