Breakfast in Southampton

[travelbuds]

Hi,

Looking for breakfast recommendations in Southampton close to the city cruise terminal. Thanks.

I can remember when the only options for breakfast were a couple of "greasy spoon" cafes near the fruit & veg market. But the growth of hotels & shopping outlets in the past few decades and the more-recent trend to eating-out for breakfast and brunch means you have a pretty wide choice.

Here are the more-obvious ones.........

 

Holiday Inn, Herbert Walker Avenue is right by the port gate for City Cruise Terminal & 400 yards / 5 minutes walk from the terminal entrance.

Thyme Restaurant at Premier Inn West Quay on Harbour Parade, 3 minutes past H.I.

Both open to non-residents, both offer a choice of continental or "proper" English breakfast, H.I. perhaps a slightly better breakfast, P.I. certainly the better value.

 

Opposite Premier Inn, the West Quay entertainment complex has a number of restaurants, most have al-fresco dining overlooking the City Walls and many of them offer breakfast.

 

If you want cheap & cheerful, IKEA  on West Quay Road (allow yourselves a extra 4 hours to find your way out 😏) or ASDA grocery superstore (rear entrance opposite the coach station).

(Mr Google's directions are a bit silly, all much much simpler than Googlemaps makes out - for instance cruise terminal to Holiday Inn is a straight line 🙄)

White Star Tavern, Oxford Street. Excellent Full English and Eggs Benedict with smoked salmon to die for.

Not fine dining, but the chain Wetherspoons (locally "spoons") has a number of bars in Southampton and you could search for one close to the port. Locations should appear on a map if you google "Wetherspoons Southampton" or similar

 

They do a full range of meals, and their breakfast selection is really quite comprehensive and reasonably priced too. There would be something for everyone, whether they are looking for healthy- or unhealthy! And unusually, their hot drinks are refillable for free.

 

You could find their breakfast selection by googling something like "Wetherspoons breakfast menu" as it is a chain and probably more or less the same in every UK outlet.

A favourite on Saints' football match-days. 

But a half-hour walk from most hotels, City Cruise Terminal & other cruise terminals.
