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.

I don’t know the area, my partner does. I booked and took a sceptic to the platform - she is no longer a sceptic :) excellent menu and the food is top notch - just the friendliest staff and I’ve not felt at home like that in years - great food, live entertainment and a night to remember - well done the platform, this is how it is supposed to be done!!

Ordered the Steak pie, absolutely delicious, very good quality ingredients, would have given 5 out of 5, but deducted 1 point, as the plate the food was served on was cold - imo food should always be served on a warm/hot plate.

Enjoyed a lovely roast dinner at The Platform Tavern on Sunday 6th October. Our table had been reserved, the waitress was amazing, friendly and efficient. I had the roast beef which was delicious and my son had roast lamb which was also delicious. Good value for money, did not have to wait long for our meals. A really nice touch was having live music which made the atmosphere very enjoyable. Thanks to the Chef and the lovely waitress.

A roast dinner is my all time favourite meal, so you can believe me when I say I have tried them in various restaurants and the one at Platform Tavern ALWAYS WINS!!! It's a good price, the service is always friendly and welcoming and the food just melts in your mouth! It is SO GOOD! Now the winter is setting in, you totally need to get down there and enjoy a yummy roast...as long as you don't make them booked up so I can still go :)

The Cider and Sausage Festival was worth going to, the Trio of Sausages meal was very nice, with a good choice of sausages offered
