Team & Welcome

Paul, Charlotte, and the team operate this sister pub to The Bosun's Chair in Lymington and The Gun Inn in Keyhaven. The staff provides efficient service in a friendly environment.

“I appreciate this pub's genuine embrace of its Titanic-era history, creating an ambiance that's both engaging and unique. The discount for residents at the bar is a notable perk, enhancing the experience. Its location near the Cruise Terminal and Southampton's attractions makes it a practical choice for many visitors.”

super stay!

friendly staffgreat locationsoft sheetnarrow staircase
i found nice staff. the location was close to the docks, what a plus! the room had soft sheets and felt very tidy. although the staircase was narrow, i managed fine with my suitcase.
the bathroom could use some updates because i think the facilities looked old and worn.
