Good food and different beers! Love this place! Try the traditional fish and chips and read the history of the house which is very interesting :)
I just happened to be in Southampton for the evening for a overnight and a cruise the next day. This is a quaint old pub in Southampton that we tried. We enjoyed the fish and chips, and a sampling of the fine beers offered here. The service was excellent and the staff very friendly. I highly recommend this place.
We had a lovely time at this pub near the port. We arrived a bit too early for food, but we’re happy to have a drink before the kitchen was open. The staff were friendly and attentive and it was the perfect place to get over our jet leg.
Best fish & chips. Tristan was great. Answered all our questions and told us all about different temperatures that beer is served at and why. Good variety of beers AND cider.
This is a nice little pub with good service. The food was a touch disappointing as when im charged that much for a sandwich, I expect proper crusty bread and not something from a supermarket bag of bread. Cut down on the salad side and the dressing then spend that on better bread. The fish and chips someone else had looked good though. Nice beers and staff were attentive even with large groups coming in off of the cruise ships who wanted to chat about the history of the pub etc. which is not easy.
Went for food and drinks, and I wasn't disappointed. The fish and chips were so good, and the pints served well.
Just think it needs a little background music while you eat.
The aircon wasn't working, so the bar was so hot! The poor staff were still working hard with a smile on their faces!
Special mention to Katie, who was amazing! Brilliant service from her. Definitely be back!
Fantastic experience. Tristan was fantastic! Food was top notch, had the fish and chips, and batter was one of the best I’ve had!
Great pub with most delicious lamb pie ever! The service was excellent and friendly. Also, there was an incredible, live band tonight!
What’s there not too like? Atmosphere, staff and food are incredible! They have been known to adapt the menu (although I’ve been told not to say) to suit our requirements. Great gluten free menu too. I’ve hired the function room and from start to finish the process was hassle free. This pub is a gem 💎
Could I give George a big shout out because he always has a smile 😃
Thank you for your welcome and hospitality to 7 weary Pilgrims having completed the St James Way Camino Ingles from Reading to Southampton, and the last stretch walking from Winchester. I’d wholeheartedly recommend the Duke of Wellington; the staff are attentive and lovely, the food is excellent and good value, and we all got stamps for our Pilgrims passports.
This historic pub is a great place for a post-St James Way walk drink! The staff were friendly :)
