"Proper pub. Excellent beers kept by knowledgeable landlord. Miss the pre-match pies they used to do though"
"Excellent Southampton pub about 20 minutes walk from St Mary's Stadium. Nine cask beers on handpump when I last visited including a porter. A few tables outside some of them covered. Not too busy before the Spurs game."
"Wonderful local pub, which I can really respect as they often stock a lot of locally brewed beers and always seem to have a good selection. Absolutely love the back room, which was decorated a vibrant orange but looks really sweet when the fairy lights come on. Will definitely be visiting again and hopefully be able to try their Thai curries. That’s if there is a suitable vegetarian option."
"A Southampton institution. Fantastic cask beer. A real pub interior, convivial conversation with space to chill on your own. Great service. What's not to like?"
"Five stars!!! Stunning beer and brilliant cellarmanship!! All the beer was of an exceptional quality! If you want to try real ale, then this is the place to go. Real ale. Real pub. Lovely landlord, who knows his beer!"
