Woodies at the Junction Inn — Restaurant in Southampton

A great new local to be proud of! Friendly and welcoming staff who are well trained and make you feel like a great friend as soon as you walk through the door. Fabulous sympathetic decor to a beautiful old pub including a log burning stove. We dined in the restaurant on a Friday night enjoying live music from this fantastic Rob Plant whilst polishing off one too many bottles of the Romanian Pinot Noir. The pork scratchings are possibly the best i've ever had, the starter special hoi sin scotch eggs were to die for and the pork chop was phenomenal. Great food menu which changes daily. Nice unfussy wine selection and the beers seem to change every few weeks too. The presentation of the pizzas is quite basic but they are fresh and tasty. Something to work on perhaps.

Cant wait to go back and take more friends! And it's...

We were lucky enough to find a decent place for a life celebration function for 30 people, the service by Connor, Ashley & Bethany was brilliant! apart from one minor mistake everything went incredibly well. very reasonable price wise also, the communication was excellent especially by Ashley, and a big shout out to Bethany for all her little extras and ideas. Highly recommended this pub/restaurant, it is clean especially the toilet which is a big plus, it has a lovely atmosphere and big refurbished garden 🪴 great beer. Thank you guys and we will be back for your Quiz night and a meal. Tip If your driving here do park on horseshoe bridge rather than in the residual area, better still get...

After the takeover we were highly impressed The staff are still friendly however by comparison to their early offerings the food is appalling. Cheap icelandesque , out of a bag food at a smidge under the price of their previous menu/chef which were really good. I guess this is a recent downgrading based on the other 1* reviews in the last few hours. Epitomised by the pub being now deserted by .8.30 pm on a weekday...
