I have eaten here with my boyfriend 3 times now - once for valentine's day, once just to eat out and once as part of a large group of friends. Every time we've eaten here we've had a strictly average meal, we've never been wowed - yet they are #3, I really don't understand this. The service is fine, but... More

Where to start? You want the best food around. You want the best service. You want the best start to your celebration. You absolutely need to book your wedding reception here. Bridget and her team are unlike anything on the 'wedding scene'. Non-pretentious, extremely helpful, friendly, professional, and plain 'just want you and your partner to have the most amazing...

A friend and I visited here for Sunday lunch. All I can say is that it was excellent, fantastic atmosphere, staff brilliant and friendly without being intrusive and the food was excellent. Both of us had Sunday roast, it was delicious, great value for money and the perfect way to spend a Sunday lunch. Would recommend to anyone! More

This company has today opened a coffee shop in Shirley and my partner and I passed it yesterday. Almost by error. We have spent the past 17 years in Australia and Barcelona so having arrived in Southampton we looked everywhere for a good coffee (and I mean very good) that sold great coffee, with great cakes and panninis and even...

My boyfriend and I went for dinner here last Friday and we were not disappointed. We were given a warm welcome by the barman as we walked into the restaurant and led to our table immediately which was in a cosy corner of the restaurant with plenty of space around us so we didn't feel as though we were on...
