“Top-notch french cooking in a relaxed ambience. Informed and friendly service. We left with a smile on our faces.”

“Nice little community cafe, serving well cooked British food. It is around the back of the building so don't be put off that it looks closed from the front. Lots of free car parking.”

“Wow! Awesome breakfast at this place. Coffee is great, portions are fantastic (check the amount of egg on that toast!), service is fast and Mr Escobar is super friendly. All reasonably priced too. Can't recommend it enough.. I'll definitely be back to try more like the tapas, it looks great!”

“Great little find in Romsey. The food was good quality and tasty, lots of options and the cafe seems to cater well for Vegetarians, Vegans and GF. Kids options were a good size, and you can't beat bottomless tea for £1 in 2025!”

“As a Polish person, I have to say – this is really delicious, authentic food. Big respect”

“LG did a theatre tour and the watched a production. Amazing. We have also been to many other productions too. All fab. I have to park further away than the nearest car park as the closest one has a height restriction of 186cm so my car doesn't quite fit. Just something to bear in mind.”

“We ordered pizza for the first time from the new takeaway pizza shop. It was really fresh and delicious pizza. We ordered five different pizza and all was great.”

“We visit this restaurant twice a week and are never disappointed. Outstanding service and food. The owner and his team are lovely friendly People and we always look forward to seeing them and enjoying the food. Highly recommended, amazing”

“Four of us called in for lunch and had a lovely meal. Everything that we tried was well presented and very tasty. Service was very friendly and we were not rushed even though we stayed a little after closing time. We would love to go back.”

“Wonderful pub. Lovely and very friendly staff. Food is superb. Steak pie the best I have ever had.Will go back again.”

“Went to the Bell Inn today for an afternoon tea. Arrived early but the staff were very obliging and seated us 30 mins before the afternoon tea started. I’d asked in advance whether my sister in law could have plain cheese and ham sandwiches as she doesn’t like any salads, pickles etc. Her sandwiches were perfect. Along with mine, the cakes were delicious as were the scones, lashings of clotted cream, yummy. Would definitely recommend the afternoon tea as The Bell Inn.”

“We love coming to Luciano’s and it’s always fantastic every time. The food is authentic and delicious and their menu offers a great choice of traditional Italian dishes. The service from the lovely staff is always first class. So lucky to have this gem of a restaurant on our doorstep!”

“Wow ! Our first visit. We will definitely be coming back. Best roast dinner I’ve had in years. We had a very warm welcome. The outdoor seating area is perfect in this beautiful weather. A great selection of drinks. One of Southampton’s finest ! Highly recommended.”

“Family of 9 had a reservation on a Tuesday night. We were served quickly, the food was amazing (recommend the paneer pancake and Bengal Flame) and the staff were lovely. This is a bit of hidden gem for me as it was my first visit but certainly not my last. And we will switch our takeaways to them, too!”

“Sophie was a 5 star and lottie was amazing mr grease enjoyed that shit. The bartender is amazing”

“As an OAP I didn’t want a full fish and chips so I ordered the Special Fish and Chips at £5.45. Great choice. More than enough. Very helpful and friendly staff. Fish was good, batter good (not oily), chips good chunky.”

“Don't expect fine dining, it's a good takeaway place with small seating area. Food was amazing with large portions, good taste and value for money. Would recommend Sweet chilli chicken with noodles.”

“Amazing katsu curry and delicious ramen!”

“Great food as always, but on justeat on the option for ‘Instructions’ on the wrap meal you need an option for ‘none’ as I had to pick one even though I didn’t want to!”

“There food is delicious and they are doing very well behaviour. Sometimes they provide food extra with my order as gift. Its amazing to convince me to buy food from them again and again. Thanks and love to them”

“We had a very positive experience booking our holiday through New Forest Cottages. I emailed twice to ask questions and both times Dani got back to me very promptly with the info needed. The cottage was just as described and we had a wonderful stay in Beaulieu.”

“Awesome food and friendly service.”

“I met with my 3 bridesmaids to discuss all things wedding as i don’t live locally to them. From the moment we arrived we were treated wonderfully. With a wonderful atmosphere between the team and with us. As a restaurant attached to a hotel my expectation was low but we all came away smiling and feeling like we’d all been looked after ☺️”

“Lol lady owner with a lovely little shop and some cracking hidden treasures! Really worth a nose plus the dry cleaning and alterations are a much appreciated bonus to the shop.”
