Busy pub located near to Southampton's ferry terminals. African art, including musical instruments and spectacular batik panels, as well as 'tented' ceiling (fabric covering the ceiling in pleated sheets) create an exotic atmosphere; Part of the old city walls are exposed (behind a glass panel) in a corner of the bar. Two rooms, the main bar area and through an arch a restaurant area. Freshly prepared food is served and now includes a range of stone baked pizzas along with the old favourites & specials. Live music is a very regular feature and can consequently make weekends very, very busy.
