We surprised my Dad with a meal here as we had heard really great reviews. We were certainly not disappointed. The manager Chris greeted us and then looked after us for the whole evening. From the pre-dinner drinks to the port and the starters to the dessert, it was all absolutely delicious. Beautifully presented and really tasty. This is by far the best restaurant we have eaten in Southampton so no wonder its Botleys No 1.Hi wrongsideoffortyThank you so much for the lovely review and thank you for choosing to spend such a special occasion with us. We are so pleased you all had a nice evening and look forward to welcoming you again.Kind regards

Have been wanting to try Mikeâs fish and chips, since seeing their reputation in the press. It was worth waiting for! Great friendly service, with a smile, fish cooked fresh, couldnât be more helpful and welcoming. The batter was delightful, crisp and light, the chips, what I would call perfect. Absolutely great! I Loved that the salt and vinegar was shaken through the bag.

Iâve visited Piecaramba 3 times so far. Great selection of pies, flavours go well together. Love the mustard mash and onion gravy too. If you sit on the table closest to the door you can play Mario Kart! The entire design of the place is super cool. Personal favourite is the shroom rider (mushroom and asparagus pie). Went there for lunch last Saturday again. I was going to try a different pie but it was out of stock, so was the only beer they have on draught. The serves seemed very confused and with lack of interest. Maybe it was all just a coincidence. Will be coming back though!

I visited Miss Ellieâs Café for the first time recently & was impressed by the friendly atmosphere and warm welcome.The menu had enough choices to give many appealing options but not so many that it could not all be freshly cooked.I had sausages, mash & vegetables. When it arrived the presentation was impressive, the quantity rather generous, to say the least and the food excellent.The sausages were succulent, meaty and tasty - unlike some where the cereal content makes it questionable whether they should be served with mustard or marmalade.I was still in the area the next day so dined there again. I was recognised & warmly welcomed back.Some of my fellow diners had been there the previous day, & later arrivals were greeted by name so were obviously regulars - and regulars are always a good sign.I had slow roast lamb shank with mint sauce, gravy, duchesse potatoes & vegetables. The presentation, quantity and quality were as before. The gravy & mint sauce mix was so tasty that I asked for a spoon to scoop up as much as I could. A spoon was provided along with a totally unexpected but welcome offer of some bread & butter to mop up the mix.The jam roly-poly with custard for pudding was to the same excellent standard.The price charged for the quality, presentation & quantity represents the most impressive value I have encountered for years.I have paid a great deal more for smaller helpings of inferior food elsewhere and if in the area again will certainly return to Miss Ellieâs.Wow thank you for a fanatastic review, we are so pleased you enjoyed your meals with us, we have an ever changing menu so hope to see you again when you are next in the area.
