We ordered a bit of everything and even got some extras. Food was delicious! Drinks were yummy! Our server Leonor was lovely!! Wonderful experience and would highly recommend.

Customer Review Summary

Reviewers return mostly for the Sunday roast, with one visitor from abroad saying it lived up to expectations. Pie of the day, chicken and mushroom, is described as quick and piping hot, and another diner had the pork belly with mash. Several praise the friendly servers, and one notes a busy, bustling feel on a quiet weekday afternoon beside Southampton Common.
