Reviews in Southampton

Great food, a great venue, a great band and friendly and welcoming staff and customers. What more could you ask for?

A Sunday lunchtime Birthday meal that was everything we could have hoped for. Great beers, nice food, superb service so what more could you ask for. The smallest of negativity was that the plates were cold so the food cooled down quickly but thats a minor and easy thing to sort. We will return for a Roast again.

Absolutely first class meal! Top quality produce. Staff very friendly and helpful!

Lovely attentive staff . Lovely atmosphere. Starter lovely and ample for 4 mains were was a different matter. Hard fish, soggy chips peas that had dried up on the heater. And the pie was not nice. And it’s on the expensive side . Sorry but we won’t be returning.

Fan Dabi Dozi, Great vibes at this English Tavern! Nostalgia all around, just before the start of the Christmas season, Very considerate staff towards my son who has allergies, They gave us great seats too, Our pup Brutus was super impressed as well. Super starters! Salt and pepper squid Grilled artichokes Nachos with Chilli, jalapenos and Cheese. Massive Mains! Steaks, Fish and Chips, Burgers, Pizzas All so delectable. Super value for money when going out!

The vegan roast was one of the best I've ever had. Friendly staff and a great place all round.

A great evening on 22nd Nov with a group of 4. The friendliness and help from staff was outstanding! Lovely, caring people. Even the punters were friendly, making a great atmosphere. The Devil's Damned String Band played excellent Bluegrass - brilliant musicians. As a real ale fan I found the beer choice very good. The food was good value pub grub.

We went for a Sunday carvery. As usual 4 meats to choose from and a good choice of vegetables. All lovely and hot. Very friendly staff who are always on the go. A lovely pub to visit, would definitely recommend.

We went for Sunday lunch and had booked a table. The pub was extremely busy but served quickly at the bar. The carvery was excellent, 4 meats to choose from and a good selection of vegetables, Yorkshire pudding, stuffing and roast potatoes. Food was hot and fresh, we are going to try a wseekday lunch next.

We had a fabulous time at the Master Builder on 15/11. Food was lovely & good portions. We had the Christmas Party menu for 6 of us. It was all easy to book online & the staff were very helpful. When we arrived the table was decorated very festive & we had everything we needed. Prawn cocktail was delicious. Turkey Dinner & mushroom Wellington were lovely. The vegetables were cooked soft & not hard, the roast potatoes were crispy but fluffy on inside. We couldn’t fault it, everything was perfect with a Christmas party atmosphere. We felt very well looked after. Can’t fault it.

We had an amazing Sunday lunch yesterday at the Platform Tavern . Food was delicious ,best roast dinner and lovely roast dinner pie . The staff were lovely very attentive without being over bearing .We had a lovely time we didn’t feel rushed in any way . We will definitely be back and very happy to recommend

Our second visit and once again we found attentive staff, great food, good portions, clean facilities, lovely pub all round. What more could you ask for?

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!!

This was our first time here & the carvery roast was great Loads of meat, lots of choice, plenty of vegetables, which all tasted lovely, the gravy was outstanding and the ambiance in the pub was friendly, families welcomed & children catered for. Altogether a great little find & we will go back. I'm also happy to recommend to family & friends

Wow we have just finished our roast dinner and it was amazing !! Loads of meat given and a large amount of vegetables available. Potatoes are perfect and large yorkies that are not soggy or to crispy .. We will be visiting again , service with a smile . We normally have our roast at the white swan but they seems to be a task only place now and food is very hard with less meat .

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.

Delicious food, great service and great value for money.

Food was lovely especially the pie. There was 8 of us but food came out quickly and was piping hot. Staff very friendly and helpful. Will definitely be back.
