Modern and somewhat bleak looking pub on the outskirts of Woolston and Weston, on the middle road leading to Butlocks Heath and on to Hamble. It doesn't do cask beer or food, but serves a purpose as a social focal point for locals. On my visit there were a handful of middle aged men, mostly gazing at the sport on the TV. There's little here to attract visitors from outside the area, so the pub depends on customers mainly from the nearby ex council-house estate in Weston. Though Weston has a poor reputation locally, my daughter went to the primary school there, and I liked the other parents who all seemed to be decent folk.
Though the building is modern, it appears that there has been a pub here with the same name since at least 1871.
