Bacaro – 4.7 star rating  

Widely considered the best roast in Southampton. High-quality ingredients, generous portions, and consistently excellent reviews. More of a modern restaurant feel than a traditional pub. 

Classic pub roasts 

The Cowherds – 4.2 star rating  

Reliable, traditional Sunday roast with large portions and all the trimmings. Popular location on Southampton Common. 

Platform Tavern – 4.6 star rating  

Known for roasts served in a giant Yorkshire pudding. Good variety, including vegan options. Cosy historic pub setting. 

Duke of Wellington – 4.5 star rating  

Classic British pub with strong reviews for its roast dinners. Good value and traditional atmosphere. 

Slightly more upscale / gastro-style 

The White Star Tavern – 4.5 star rating  

A more refined take on the Sunday roast. Good choice if you want something a bit more polished. 

Chilworth Arms – 4.5 star rating  

Countryside-style gastropub known for high-quality meats and presentation. A bit more premium. 

Local favourites 

Dancing Man Brewery – 4.6 star rating  

Very popular with locals. Strong reputation for both roast dinners and craft beer in a relaxed setting. 

The Ship Inn – 4.4 star rating  

Traditional, no-frills roast with solid portions and consistent quality. 

Experience-focused option 

Figurati – 4.6 rating  

Waterside Italian restaurant at Ocean Village offering a more stylish, restaurant-style roast. Strong on atmosphere and presentation, but more about the overall experience than a classic pub roast.
