Unpretentious city pub with newly exposed exterior tiling, U-shaped traditional bar inside, and welcoming bar staff. Up to five locally sourced ales and two real ciders available. Home-cooked food is served everyday. Outside is a courtyard beer garden which also hosts cider & beer festivals, usually May & July. The pub may become somewhat louder with a DJ in the evenings. Southampton's Night Buses can get you home on Fridays & Saturdays.
