Best place for food in Portswood. Fast service, friendly staff and extremely clean....
Love their Poached eggs on toast with smoked salmon and smashed avacado

We often visit poppins when we are looking for somewhere to take the kids for lunch. I would prefer to have coffee here than any other branded coffee house. Take my word for it you will not be disappointed. The menu is varied and very reasonably priced. I also recommend to visit if you are on a diet as the staff are happy to cook the food to your request ie without oil or butter etc and the salad is fresh and tasty . The food is well presented and appetising and lots of choice for the kids. I especially like the friendly welcome we always get and nothing is too much trouble. Always lots of specials on offer and nice they provide newspapers for customers so you dont feel they are in a hurry for you to leave.

Not cordon bleu, but budget food well worth what you are charged. The staff are incredibly friendly (possibly Albanian?) and will remember you between visits. Childreen are welcome, including babies in prams or push chairs. The staff have no issue about warming up your own baby food in their microwave for you, free of charge, and about guiding you to a table where you can park your carriage. High chairs are provided.

Check the specials board. I had the lamb shank in minty gravy with mixed vegetables (cabbage, peas, carrots and brocoli) and swapped the mash for chips. Excellent value for just £7.50!!!!!

Vegetables are not over cooked, it is so nice to get green garden peas in a restaurant. The burgers are also allegedly nice, and again not expensive.

The pancakes for desert will leave you fit to burst!

The food is good here today i Had one of the specials, it came with fresh vegetables that weren't over cooked totally enjoyed it.. The staff are friendly

Located on the pedestrian main street just near one of the old gates, this is a great place to know about. The interior is plain but clean; the menu is lengthy; food is tasty, made to order and not expensive. Nice view of passers-by; outdoor seating too. Open early on a Sunday morning, when not much else is open.
