Pub / restaurant recommendations = nr Southampton

[WindsorRob]

Off to Good wood on the Friday but having to stay in Southampton. Wondered if anyone has any good pub / restaurant recommendations with say a 15 min taxi ride of the centre ? Don't mind a bit further if it's exceptional... After good quality more so than cheap, preferable with some good ales..

I'm not from round these parts but I am stuck in Marchwood at the moment. I hear the Pilgrim in Hythe is good for food, it's just a ferry ride away from Southampton too.

Probably some nice places in Southampton

Southampton doesn't really have any great pubs or restaurants. Your best bet would be to head to Winchester to The Black Rat or Chesil Rectory or out into the New Forest to The Pig. There's also a very nice pub called The Plough which is in Sparsholt between Southampton and Winchester.

The Pilgrim is in marchwood, and isn't worth the trip, esp by ferry, as you would need to get a bus too.

Plenty of reasonable places to eat. My favorite currently is Rancho's, down the bottom end of town. It's an Argentine steak house. The ribs are epic, but its not cheap.

Where exactly are you staying?

the jolly sailor in Hamble is always a good shout.

cowherds next to southampton common is nice, good menu.

plenty of bars down by the ocean village that serve good food, banana wharf and the pitcher and piano.

the olive tree and white star on oxford street are nice.

You want the White Hart Hamble.

Just outside Soton: http://www.fullers.co.uk/rte.asp?id=4&itemid=1... Has a fantastic garden, food is good (or was last time )

Montys http://www.montaguarmshotel.co.uk/
Is about 25mins from Southampton, has proper restaurant, and a less formal one.

http://www.themasterbuilders.co.uk/ can sit in the garden and gawp at the yachts in the marina (much more civilised than Ocean village)

Bit further away http://www.thepighotel.co.uk/

Montys is a good shout, but might be a bit far if they are staying the other side of Southampton

Kutis for a curry then over the road to the gay bar for a beer or 2.

The Oxford Brasserie in Oxford Street. Ask for the owner, Fabrizio - he'll look after you

When I last lived in Southampton (admitedly 3-4 years ago now) The Cowherds pub (located on The Avenue) was one of the better places to eat. Only 10-15 mins from the city centre.
