About The Salmon Leap
The Salmon Leap is a pub restaurant in Southampton, on Testwood Lane in Totton, set back in a residential area rather than on the High Street. The kitchen serves breakfast, lunch and dinner from an extensive pub menu, and the chicken rice burger arrives with chips, coleslaw, onion rings and gherkins. Beers are on tap at the bar. The garden has a kids' play area and hosts a family fun day with live music, a BBQ, a bouncy castle, face painting and balloon animals, so families can spend the whole day together. The pub also hosts family celebrations and has held a funeral reception.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often praise the food, calling it tasty, plentiful and well cooked on an extensive pub menu, with chips, coleslaw, onion rings and gherkins described as fine alongside a burger. Friendly staff come close behind, and several describe quick service, with one noting the food arrived lightning fast. Good beers on tap and ice cold drinks also earn mentions, as do the garden and kids play area. One family describes a fun day with live music, a BBQ, a bouncy castle and face painting. Complaints are few but specific. One reviewer says the chicken rice burger was dripping in oil and left them feeling sick, while another found the meal tasty but not hot enough. One lunch party waited a while when the pub was busy, and another reviewer found it hard to tell where to order and says the signage could be clearer. A family 60th birthday meal and a funeral reception were both described as welcoming.

“Although the food is lovely, i did decide to have the chicken rice burger but im sorry to say it was disgusting. Was dripping in oil and the taste made me feel so sick, the chips, coleslaw, onion rings and guerkins were fine it was just the chicken. Was not nice at all.”
