Another Southampton micro, a short bus ride from the station. Basic interior though there’s nice Victorian wall tiling and a nice view of the church. The toilets are rather different to the usual in terms of porcelain décor (see pic). No bar as such and amusement provided by the vertically challenged barmaid having to use steps to reach some the beers. Two stillaged cask available amongst a sea of keg, one of which was 9.5% (Salted Dark Chocolate Mills & Hills (2024) by Fyne Ales), so of course I had that and very nice it was too (NBSS 3.5). On further perusal of the menu I noted that the beer was selection was really interesting and well sourced, so I decided to top-up with a half of the Lambic & Stout from keg. Well-worth making the effort to get over here if you are a beer hunter. 8.5

The main features in here for me was the Victorian wall and floor tiles. The pub has also retained the original butcher's rail system around the ceiling along with a couple of weighing apparatus. Their beers were on stillage at the rear of the pub, with no bar area. There was a young girl serving us on our visit, who poured your beers and took payment, she was very bubbly and chatty and was most interested in our little pub crawl around the area. Another quirky little piece of kit I noticed was their new addition of a wall mounted digital photo machine. So you can purchase an instant selfie for a quid and either stick it on the wall along with the locals, or take it away with you. Four cask ales on our visit, so we went for the Vibrant Forest Summerlands and the Goodens Gold, both of which were top class.

Didn't get around to reviewing this after my January visit,It was of course as Ray found it in Apri except the young girl was a bloke as well as the beers obviously being different, on my visit I drank Vibrant Forest Chinook and Unity This Must Be The Place, the name of the latter I found amusing as I found the pub not the easiest to find with no external signage evident. It was an enjoyable stay and I found the the place to have a good vibrant atmosphere, well attended on a Sunday afternoon.
