About On The Water Cafe
On Weston Parade in Southampton, On The Water Cafe operates as a kiosk with surrounding tables and chairs for outdoor dining. Alongside its hot food, hot drinks, cakes and ice creams, the cafe hires out pitch 'n' putt equipment for use nearby. The entrance is step-free and wheelchair accessible, and high chairs are available for families with young children. Dogs are welcome, with a water bowl and PupCups on offer. This is a walk-in, cash-only spot, so no card payment or advance booking applies. It opens daily in the daytime, weather permitting, and a small car park sits next to the kiosk with free parking nearby. Toilets, including a disabled toilet, are available on site.

- Brian Priest
“Really great outside cafe. Staff are really friendly and the breakfast bap is generously filled and tastes great. Love's the ambience of being outside eating and it's really friendly and would definitely recommend.”
- Carol Parker
“Nice location, nice service. Food ok. Should have more tables and chsirs and shade umbrellas, it gets unbearable in the seating area.”
- Pete Speake
“So it was first thing Monday morning, so I'll give him 2 stars for that but man was he a grumpy man! Had I had the same experience later in the day/week it would have just been 1 star, but maybe he had the Monday morning blues”
