Hands down one of if not the best pub in Southampton. The landlady and landlord are such lovely people who make sure they give everyone a warm welcome. The staff are always happy and jovial with great speedy service. They have all the sports channels for those of us who love football and a fantastic entertainment schedule there with live bands that cover so many genres, they have karaoke regularly ( Thursday and Sunday nights ) the locals make everyone feel welcome.
