A Greene King pub on the outskirts of Southampton in the little shopping area of West End. Family pub with food deals all day, every day. It's been well over a year since I've been here, and the place has been refurbished and extended. It's a good community pub with a relaxed yet lively atmosphere. I like it. Three Greene King cask beers on offer, with one pump not in use.

I had done a review for BITE in Feb 2015:
| Family friendly Greene King pub. Fairly recent build, though interior has a traditional pub feel. Place appears very popular - on our Friday afternoon half term visit the place was packed. Has a holiday camp social club feel, with a solidly working class clientele. Three Greene King cask ales, and a range of meal deals on offer, including kids meals. Veggie options are very limited. Food is aimed at being filling rather than healthy or tasty, but it is what it is. |

| Oct 2019 visit with Myles |
Popped in for lunch with Myles. I had a tasty veggie pie (mushroom) with mash and gravy. Myles had cod and chips which he found a bit greasy. The two were part of a £9.99 deal. Solid portions. I had a pint of Treacle Stout - a collaboration between Greene King and a Bristol brewery Cocksure (who appear to have changed their name to Tapestry). The staff had problems with the card machine so everyone had to pay cash. Food took a while (they did warn us). And meals were constantly being offered to the wrong tables! It's a popular place. Clean and tidy and quite sociable with a good feel to the place. There's nothing special about it (there rarely is with Greene King pubs which tend to be popular and functional rather than attractive, unique or interesting), but it serves its purpose well as an old fashioned tavern offering food and drink to locals and passersby.
