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.

Customer Review Summary

Reviewers most often single out the friendly staff at this kiosk-style cafe on the Weston shore, where the breakfast bap, bacon butty and tuna melt panini are the food they name. Burgers and milkshakes get a mention too, and the cakes and biscuits are called very nice. Several praise the view over the water and the welcome given to dogs, with one describing a PupCup for their dog and another noting a water bowl. Reviewers also mention a pitch and putt hired from the cafe, along with low prices and clean toilets.

  • Peter Collins
    “Got there just as they were closing at 5pm. Only wanted cold drinks. Staff very friendly.”
  • 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”
