The 30 Best Food establishment in Southampton

“Abbotswood Village's small & slightly posh (but not too posh) Southern Cooperative. If you want a pint of milk plus some great local produce and deli goods, for example Lyburn Cheese, a craft ale from Flack Manor or Montezuma chocolate, hey this is your kind of Coop 101!”

“This place has everything you could want. Today we did the laser tag and the bowling. Both responsibility priced compared to other places we have visited. In general the place was clean and tidy and well set out. The staff could of been a little more welcoming but they are all young adults so to be expected, I certainly remember those days lol. All in all we certainly visit again.”

“It looks very nice and the food is delicious!! Recommend it to everyone.”

“Brilliant service, friendly staff and amazing food”

“Friendly staff, clean and generally well stocked, nice long opening hours”

“Well stocked shop with great customer service! Normally I take this for granted, but today really stood out, I popped in this morning (24th Sept) to grab a few things and I was looking for a bacon bap in the hot counter section, one of the ladies (I think she was from the bakery, I'm really sorry I didn't catch her name) saw me and asked if I was looking for a bacon sandwich and, said that they're almost ready then brought me one. Following this, the gentleman with a beard (may be manager?) helped me locate some hand soap. It's the little things, but it's very appreciated and kind, thank you!”

“A very handy store with friendly staff. You can get most lines here.”

“The friendliest shop ive ever been to the owner is a top man”

“I love to visit here for thier services and various choices. Lots of things under one roof I'm glad it's a stones throw away”

“Our first visit to Sobar last night. We drove up from Cornwall. We had read reviews from others and were a bit concerned about the apparently over zealous doormen. However we found all the staff to be great. The patience of the tall lady supervisor at the upstairs bar when dealing with a fussy customer was amazing. The atmosphere was great. Drinks were expensive but tap water and ice were freely given and definitely needed as it was very hot in there. Would definitely visit again of theres something that appeals to us there.”

“Ordered large lamb shawarma from there last night and it tasted amazing. Last time I had good shawarma was on Edgeware Road 20yrs back. Staff was very friendly also. Would definitely recommend”

“My local Co-op, I got here every time I run out of something, or just fancy a treat. The place is always clean, staff are helpful... but please, guys, correct your opening times on the window that still says 11PM for closing time ;)”

“Wow i ordered 1 time from you. I love kebabs i was eating everywell, but here is very good fresh meat (not from the oil pot) and fresh salats . Loovely. I will take it more times”

“I had planned a day trip to Southampton and was researching for ages on where to get food, I was torn between herbies pizza and another Chinese takeaway, I’m glad I chose herbies! The pizza was only 9.99 for a large (a deal for collection) so my expectations weren’t super high but I was impressed! Personally I don’t like a super crunchy crust and their crust was soft with the perfect amount of crunch and tasted amazing! The pizza took around 15 mins to cook which is understandable as it’s cooked fresh. It wasn’t too greasy and came with a garlic and herb dip. The guy at the counter was lovely too. I will definitely come back here on my next trip to Southampton!”

“Christian was so helpful and kind, had our order ready super fast and ngl I think this might be the best dominos I have ever had. 5 stars all around but Christian is what prompted me leaving a good review!!!”

“A small boy named Charlie really helped me today. Unfortunately they didn’t have the cookies I wanted so he was kind and showed me an alternative even though they were 20p more. Thank you Charlie you should get a raise I will definitely be back!”

“This is an excellent co-op. I would go so far as to say that it is world leading in distribution of supermarket goods. It is a very pleasant change from other, less good shops to arrive in this, a very good shop. I recommend visitting this shop to witness its glory with your own seeing eyes.”

“Great variety of products and services. Great customer service and friendly staff.”

“Always found staff to be very helpful when I visit this shop.”

“The lady who is serving at this store on week ends needs to be more welcoming, she has a face like thunder, when you say good morning, and can barely answer you. May be she needs more customer training on how to make a customer feel welcomed. The other week she was complaining to a younger college that it looked like it was going to be busy, in a manner she did not want to be there. All the other Co-op shops that I go to I would like to say, the Staff are always polite and welcoming.”

“OUTSTANDING central hub of the Hamble community open from 7 till 10 everyday....The Lovely Ladies and gents that work here, always have a smile and time for a bit of friendly banter...priceless...Its imperative that you sign up on their app and become a co-op member for 1 measly pound...Then you unlock the member daily/weekly deals that offer insane value for money...cheaper than any large supermarket...I can do my weekly shop here, including the healthiest fresh food, snacks, fags and booze just by using the app. AND ALL my money goes to a non profit driven Co-op that does more for all british communities and charities than any other grocery store in the United Kingdom...As someone on a low fixed income, the Co-op Society are a national treasure...”

“When ever I pop in here it's always friendly and staff working hard both on floor and at till.”

“love it, nice food, low price. I have recommend this restaurant to my friends.”

“I do not usually shop in here often but when I have a member of staff called Clare has always been helpful and polite.”

“Feels more accessible than most other Co Ops in the area. Staff don't leave cages blocking the aisles. Theres always someone on till when I go in, which can be rare elsewhere. Tyler was extremely helpful when I went in.”

“Great it's a large store has every conceivable thing you would need for a big shop also has lots of toys, a whole floor of clothing and a large area of homewares and electronics. This in conjunction with the Asda rewards app makes this store our go to for a big shop.”

“Brilliant place we go there all the time. Facilities are great. Food and drinks in the cafe are very nice. Wears out the kids! Also soft play for younger ones. Highly recommend.”

“Great food and good atmosphere. Staff are friendly and helpful. Enjoy our dinner there.”

“Cracking little shop. Always has nice flowers. Often good to bail you out on the one missing can’t do without item to create your meal at short notice. Staff mega friendly always feel welcome, always leave happy.”
