Large and well built corner location building. It is and feels like a cross between a hotel and a pub so the name Tavern feels appropriate. Several distinct open areas around a central bar. A mix of flag stone and solid oak flooring. Fire places and leather sofas. Opens early and does food all day. Children accepted. A comfy and pleasant place; upmarket but relaxed and informal. It was created in its present form as a gastro pub in 2001 by business partners Matt Boyle and Mark Dodd.
Over £4 for a pint. Regular beer is Itchen Valley White Star. Also does a changing cask - on my visit it was Landlord. The White Star was tired and not fresh. Overall a pleasant pub worth checking out if in the area, but it's nothing special, and beer cost and condition prohibits a strong recommendation.

Now owned by Fullers, who apparently bought it last year (2017). Same layout and plush feel. Only difference in in the choice of beers - both casks are Fullers - London Pride, and on our visit, the second (changing) pump had Fuller's Southern Star.
