m. b.

Really delicious 😊 had scrambled eggs on toast £2.85 good sized portions and a Pepsi max on the side can't remember the price of the drink? Super clean and tidy! Disabled friendly plenty of spaces and atmosphere is really friendly! Staff are very friendly and helpful, definitely worth a look at! Big screen TV for sports etc... 5*😁

Friendly staff,needs more bar staff .Clean and reasonable prices.Food portions have shrunk.Overall good as a meeting place.Cheap and cheerful.

B.

Excatly what is expected of a Wetherspoons, food was alright, took a long time to be served, bit annoying seeing off duty staff going behind bar and serving themselves so they didn't have to queue.

B. W.

Decent spoons. Some outside seating. Bit dark and windowless at the back, but a few tv screens there.

K. J.

Usually good and we will be back. They do need to get better at bussing food quicker as it was only warm on the bank holiday Monday.

T. D.

Whenever I came here I found a decent selection of beers. Not too crowded like many other pubs, excellent for a pint

An entertaining pub with all sorts of people from different walks of life, typically weatherspoons through and through sollid standard of food and a large selection of beers well worth a visit just to watch the cross section of people and their mannerisms 👍

J. M.

The pub can get busy at times but the staff are helpful and the food is good. There are some decent food and drink deals most days.

Breakfast was OK , toilet roll helps you to become intimate with yourself. I highly recommend tripling the sheets before wiping yourself

J. P.

The staff were having a bad day with problem gas pipes . Fridge down but we're very efficient & helpful with a complicated order , a very calm management would definitely go again .

T. M. S.

Lovely breakfast 😋

Big pub on Shirley Boulevard, good beer choice at a cheap price, foods alright, sometimes you'll find an old fella asleep in the corner smelling of wee but you don't have to sit next to him.

Wetherspoons cheap drinks and food. Many menu items have reduced price drinks. Large room with many tables. Order using the app with food and drinks delivered to you. Fast service. Football and other sports with many screens. Bit noisy as so busy.

D. L.

Haven't been here literally in years. Sad to say experience not good. Quality of food was cheap to say the least. I got a fried egg that you could sole a shoe with. Asked for another and it appeared straight away as they were lined up on hotplate. No wonder they were solid. Disappointing. Guy serving food was energetic and very polite.

E. S.

It was very quite today they try going back to cheaper meals deals

A. M.

Good Food but poor service

R. T.

Same as all the weatherspoons cheap and cheerful. What more do you want.

D. C.

Had large Breakfast n Orange juice nearly eight pounds which is standard. Service friendly and not a long wait for the Breakfast. Unfortunately the large breakfast no longer comes with black pudding or tomatoes only one mushroom, small portion of beans n bacon…more like medium breakfast plate packed out with four pieces of toast. Was a bit disappointed really.

M. M.

Good pub reasonable prices

W. H.

Exactly as you'd expect but a little disappointed at the amount of people wandering around without wearing face coverings even though they were hanging out their pockets or being warn as a fashion accessory on the wrist or even under the chin !!! No staff intervention or any security present to deal with it.

L. W.

Great food great value.

M. J.

Excellent breakfast sat in the sunshine.

P. H.

Very enjoyable meal the place was rocking lol.

H. F.

This was my second visit. I live in Luton, Bedfordshire, finding a Weatherspoons so close to where my daughter is living I hoped it would live up to what I expect from my local establishment, it surpassed it. The pizza availability is just lovely. Unfortunately my receipt dos not say the name of the young man that served me. I visited on Monday 24th @15:45. Young and dark haired, perfect service, asked all the right questions and great customer service. All our food arrived at the same time and was hot and tasty. Well done to all the crew at Bright Water Inn. One criticism, the toilets arnt great and not a single sole other than ourselves had a mask.

d. c.

Didn't have the large mixed grill we ordered from the menu, had to settle for the cheapersteak, but still charged for the more expensive mixed grill. But all in all, Everything you come to expect from a Wetherspoons

M. C.

Just went for 2 drinks after other pubs had shut

J. A.

Great pub in Shirley high street, Southampton, very friendly and clean

A. S.

Wetherspoons are always great value, but with them continuing the 'dine out ' deals, it is outstanding. I had excellent fish and chips, paid extra for bread and butter ( chip but ties here we come ), pint of Doom bar, Seven, yes seven pounds all in. Great service, server came over as soon as saw me look at menu, didn't even need to use App. Food came up quickly even though decent crowd in pub.

T. J. S.

Love the ambience. The prices for the drinks are quite cheap.

P. A.

Just a wetherspoons in a busy place. Food is standard drinks are good. Toilets are up the creakiest staircase I've ever known. If you want to sit outside you'll need earplugs to protect from tge traffic and emergency vehicles.

l. S.

This is a nice place to have a local drink and is very well priced just like most weatherspoons. My own downfall of this place is the food. It's nice if you're happy with microwaved food. Again it's adequately priced. Just don't like burning my mouth on mash potato.

J. S.

A lovely place. Only went for drinks. There's an option to order by the app or table service. We opted for the app which was easy to use. However, should have opted table service as there was requirements I needed. They handled it very well and got my requirements sorted in speed time and no fuss.

K. D.

All the staff are lovely except one woman behind the bar who got funny when a drink was taken back to the bar and asked to change because it had lime in which I can't have. Was told very rudely and abruptly we should have said as its a waste of drink. When all the other places you go ask if u would like ice and a slice. Makes me not want to come in again, her service was shocking.

R. P.

It is a whetherspoons. Great value, not such a great atmosphere.

J. B.

Went for breakfast, service quick and cheerful, prices reasonable but the breakfast was less than adequate. How do you manage to get one piece of toast soggy and the other burnt? Beans that were boiling away still while on the plate and the mushrooms too cold - mind you, mixed together they managed to cool off the beans to an edible temperature ... and the coffee, too strong to start with so they put in extra milk so it goes cold before you finish eating but that was okay because I didn't drink it because it tasted awful anyway... My friend really enjoyed his breakfast and coffee, but then he's a builder LOL

A. L.

As of 26/01 the food is amazingly cheap, tasty, presented. Drinks very cheap, now have table service if you download the app, ample seating and TV's sound is always off though. Toilets are very clean but upstairs. The disabled toilets are on the ground floor though.

S. S.

2 nice meals and 2 drinks for under £14.. nice staff .. I liked the atmosphere.. a enjoyable lunch meal

b. a.

We really enjoyed our standard breakfasts again , now that we are out of lockdown. The shock came with the bill, the prices were down compared with prior to lockdown! Other pubs have definitely put their prices up, one in particular up from £8_99 to£12-99, very near 50 percent. I also saw that a pint of Doom Bar is down from £2-10 to £1 - 79 !!!! We were charged £5 - 10 for 1 1/2 pints of cider at a local pub which is not known for high prices. I must say that I couldn't believe the bad press about Tim Martin after the way he had looked after his staff in the past, sending them to college to get diplomas etc. and cleaner becoming managers! We will be back soon for lunches.

S. G.

Three of us rolled up for a Sunday main meal. We all had different dishes and drinks, along with a good chin wag. Result - three satisfied customers. The staff here seem to work quite hard and are generally easy to relate to. There's a reasonable footfall so occasionally tables aren't cleared that fast, although speed of service is up there. Some one always wipes the tables eventually and have never failed to come if askedd, or behave other than courteously when doing so.

P. W.

Friendly staff, good beer selection. Seats need replacing as seat squabs very dirty looking..

H. A.

It's a Wetherspoons, and better than most. It's clean, decent staff, decent beers, it's not the nicest pub in the world but you get a lot more than you pay for.

D. N.

Went in for Curry night as usual but very disappointed that onion Bhagi and the semosas have boon dropped from the menu still good service and good food though just sort your menu out

J. S.

Nice place Good food Shows football as well👍

A. H.

clean pub friendly staff average breakfast

J.

Such a nice place, all the lady's here are so nice and pleasant, so i would come here and get served by the nice lady's, this 100% includes Charlotte and Chantal and 2 other ladies. Mistakes happen with orders, but just some customers are too grumpy to understand this, as not done on purpose, and you wont find other places as Apologetic as them. please can someone give them a pay rise.

A. m.

Nice place but could do with a makeover to bring more light into the back of the pub can feel a bit dark. Local watering hole for many offering a standard menu with drinks included with meal offers. There are two screens for football etc and seating outside.

I am a regular here. Every week my dad and I go for dinner on a Thursday or Friday. They do a lovely curry night, and the fish and chip Friday is really good. The prices are so cheap. Its usually a but busy, but its always friendly and helpful. Great selection of Gin!! Winner

Love this place the staff are attentive and friendly and very polite good food and drinks and prompt table service can't fault it

S. P.

Brilliant day out good beer and food

C. M.

So much better run and more attentive staff in comparison to other Wetherspoons i use...this is further away from me... i still choose this one..

H. W.

Staff are friendly and the selection is great as Wetherspoons normally are, however there were quite a few tables needing cleaning for a good while. We also ordered some food, whilst most of it was hot and tasted rather good, the onion rings were cold. I suggested this to the girl who asked 'was everything ok' who said she would go back to the kitchen... only to be never seen again! Not good.

S. G.

Had a party of 6 which included some children, had great service from the moment we walked in. All the staff were friendly and helpful. The food was enjoyable and great value. And the kids enjoyed picking their menu. The whole experience was above what I expected and the staff were top draw

J. L.

Hasn't changed much since I used to frequent this place. Nice atmosphere, friendly bar staff and they do a mean chicken tikka 😁

j.

A bit hit and miss with this place. Sometimes service is good but on more than one occasion it's been poor. Food is generally good. A basic pub that is generally good. Not bad pricing.

M. A.

Best food ever and quick service. Definitely come again

T. L.

It's a Wetherspoons, so cheap beer and cheap food. Staff here are friendly and table service was quick and efficient

T. G.

Great at what it does. Good beer at decent prices. Could do with a full time table wiper though! Also attracts some interesting behaviour, check the mats on the drinks! In the nicest possible way, I don't think these guys are going to be 'roofied'....😉

V. T.

It's a chain pub, so you know what you're getting when you walk through the door, which is kitsch decoration, low prices and standard quality food and service. The staff here are friendly, service is usually quick and we've never had problems with orders etc. There is family seating at the back, but it can get a bit crowded and raucous on occasions, like match days, as there are half a dozen big screen tvs, but weekdays, or mornings are usually not too busy, and their breakfast menu is extensive and well priced. Kids menus and various meal deal offers available throughout the week

M. E.

Beer is cheap enough, however everything is pretty sticky, tables, chairs, menus basically everything has a coating of sticky beer and food. The toilets were in a terrible state, 2 out of 5 blocked, tiles falling off the walls, really has been left to deteriorate. Watched a geezer stick £30.00 in a fruit machine in about 10 mins, pretty sad really. Won't be going back for a while.

p. h.

Good price for breakfast with coffee😉

O. T.

One of my favourite pubs on Shirley. It's nicel atmosphere and really good food for a price

l. b.

Excellent food and service, not at all pricey. I would recommend this pub to anyone.

J. K.

Went in for breakfast for first time since before lockdown Cooked breakfast was reasonable for the price but made up for it with all the free hot drinks when you only pay for first one!!!

A. L.

Used the app to order food and drink. Drinks came very quickly and a couple of minutes later food arrived which we all enjoyed. The app which gives you table service is a stroke of genius.

S. C.

3 drinks is a bit silly with a meal. As other pubs are letting you have more. Maybe weatherspoons will catch up Staff lovely

Went last weekend as usual .The Abbot ale had run out .I asked if there was anymore as the same had happened a few days before .I was told no. I asked if a new barrel could be put on .the barperson said a new barrel could be put on but there would be a wait as they are busy .I was happy to wait .A new barrel was then put on .Had I not asked for this I got thethe timpression they would not have put one on .Great prices and friendly place to drink

G. L.

Very clean, polite staff, good food & safe, due to the alert staff making sure everyone adhered to the rules to keep us all safe during this covid19 pandemic. Well done.

A. B.

Lovely staff and good food

D. B.

We were looking for somewhere that would serve food late at night (10.45pm) that wasn't a take away. Wetherspoons kitchens are open til 11pm. Considering how inexpensive the food is, it's excellent value.

O. K.

Cheap booze. Love it! Needs a refurb. Come on Tim, show some love to the place.

s. b.

Has sky sports and BT sport, rare for a spoons!

M. C.

Very nice and fragrant toilet

J. C.

Always lovely food and atmosphere

t. l.

Great place and very good prices on there beers and i will be visiting here again for sure.

m. c.

Is a pub, does food, ok service was slow but, they were busy so I can't fault them.

D. C.

Pub is a bit scruffy but food was excellent for the price we paid.

J. W.

A pleasant pit stop during our local shopping trip to Shirley, the usual very well priced wetherspoons food with a beer. Glad to see the hot dogs were still on the menu as on a previous visit to another wetherspoons venue we had been informed that they had been discontinued. The only criticism would be that the food was only like warm upon receiving it at the table but was otherwise tasty.

I. “. G.

An above average Wetherspoons. Had a quick bite to eat here, too. Fast service, bar and tables were clean. Spacious setting and not too rowdy for Tuesday evening.

D. H.

Great place for breakfast. Prices are cheap, £4.99 for a huge breakfast. Sadly they didn't come with mushrooms despite the menu saying it did, however all round it was great value for money.

M. L.

It is what it is...it's a spoons serving good quality food & huge range of drinks at a reasonable price. App available so u don't have to queue to order u can do it from your phone or tablet etc from your table

A. F.

Overall service was brilliant all due to one young girl who was really rushed off her feet. It seemed she was the only one taking responsible and making sure orders were sent out and delivering exeptional customer service. Making sure customers eere happy etc. Such skills for such a young gitl. I think her name was Emily??? This young lady needs a praise for her hard work whilst others were just standing about. The Manager on shift seemed to do sweet ....all. Working as a team total load of rubbish!

K. P.

Needs fresh paintwork & definitely in need of new or fixing of stair case up the the loos & creeked & felt unsafe

R. D.

The bright water inn is one of the wetherspoons chain of pubs. It a good place, one of the busiest if not the busiest pubs in shirley. Like all wetherspoons or also works as a restaurant, sports bar, ale house and great for pre drinks before hitting town on a friday/saturday. Cheap food, cheap drinks. No music. Has a dart board. Friendly staff.

J. D.

Great food and coffee. Service with a smile and food hot and quick too. Good value easily best of their pubs in Southampton area.

K. M.

We regularly use The Bright Water Inn to Eat and have a drink the food is good fresh well cooked and presented. The service is friendly and prompt The staff are polite and professional

A. R.

Opens at 8am for breakfast. Had the large cooked breakfast with a latte. Food came quick and was nice and hot and the latte was refillable. Great start to the day👍

S. P.

It's a nice quiet place to have a drink. Food quality not always consistent. I find the food here too salty compared to the other wetherspoons in Southampton.

R. V.

Nice restaurant be it in any part of the UK. Southampton Shirley is the most frequently visited among the other pubs in Shirley. Good ambience and seating ; need to order your drinks and food at the till. Nice Chicken buffalo wings ( must try) their curry food combo with drinks is everyone's favourite !! Defintely a visit to go and watch Football ,Rugby & Cricket with full packed house , its different experience altogether !!!

T. K.

Lovely pub, nice atmosphere and purchasing using the app is great. Just wish they'd fix the dart board, as I'd quite to have a game here once or twice but their board is wrecked.

D. P.

Have made this our regular after visiting on a wim one day, absolutely love this place. Always somewhere to sit, great range of drinks, food is great and prices are fantastic! And never a roudy atmosphere always good people here and staff are really great. Service is also very quick and very handy using the Wetherspoon app to order!

D. R.

One of the better Wetherspoons in Southampton
