Refurbishments have killed the character of this pub. OK for eating or a quick lunchtime half.

One of the few unspoilt pubs in this area. Nice beer, nice food, good vibes.

Average pub, just a short stroll from some much more interesting ones. Ample seating and function room for hire.

Near-legendary venue for lovers of great ale (Gales) and home-made food like your mother makes.

One of the most popular pubs in Romsey for serious beer lovers. Tiny, but a true traditional 'sawdust on the floor' establishment. Worth squeezing to enjoy great beer and a traditional ambience.

Unpretentious wine bar in historic area of Southampton serving good cheap food and drink.

A spacious pub with a high-class restaurant out-back. Generally unremarkable and popular with some of the local yachting crowd.

This is an excellent semi-country pub. A first class range of real ales, friendly bar staff and delicious food. The garden and exterior of the building are a little run-down, which adds to the charm.

Unmemorable pub in local shopping centre. Nice for an early-evening drink or for shoppers looking for a swift lunchtime half.

The Monksbrook, Chandlers Ford
Excellent unspoilt locals pub with excellent choice of traditional ales and the usual facilities (pool table, Sky TV, etc.) I'm told the food is good too.

For an 'estate' pub The CB is OK. Beer and food is fine, but serious drinkers should take a short walk to The Cricketers or The Monks Brook.

This pub changed hands a couple of years ago (2000-ish) and has now lost of a little of its character. That said, the range of real ales is excellent as ever, and the current owners are trying hard to create a welcoming atmosphere. Popular with the scooter and bike brigades in the summer. Plenty of outdoor seating. Still recommended.

Chain eaterie, nice venue for families, but public bar can get a little rowdy.

The Fox and Hounds, Southampton
Traditional 'spit and sawdust' pub for those who appreciate that pubs are for drinking and not for eating, listening to music, enjoying the view, etc.

Nice traditional pub with views of Ticthfield Abbey. Recommended for a quiet evening or lunchtime chat. Food a little insubstantial, but reasonable range of beers and friendly staff. Can obviously get busy at touristy times.

Excellent city pub with a student feel, serving a good food and a nice range of real ales. Can be busy and seating is limited, but well worth checking out.

New-ish pub, clean with nice beer and helpful staff. A little short of atmosphere and food slightly expensive. Nice outside seating area, families welcomed.

Large pub, a popular lunchtime haunt for nearby office workers. Good food, nice beer and friendly staff. Can be a little hard to find a seat in the summer, though there is extensive outside seating if the weather is fair.

Nice range of real ales. Good food. Caters for the older clientele.

The Talking Heads, Portswood
As a pub it's a great music venue.
