Improve This Listing

A free-of-tie micropub 'Ale & Cider House' on the busy A3057 Shirley Road, near Foy's Corner. It is the only pub in Southampton to dispense its draught beers by gravity only. The bar is at the back of the pub, with two inter-connected rooms leading through to it from the front terrace. The landlady ensures that the pub welcomes all and tries to visit breweries before taking their beer. There's no music or Wi-Fi as conversation is encouraged. Much of the furniture is bespoke, and the witch-themed décor and pump clips add to the character of the pub. The landlady's dog roams the pub - visiting dogs should be kept on leads. The decked garden has a marquee and a gazebo to enable sheltered, well-ventilated COVID-safe drinking.

Carry-outs are available (25p for a 2-pint container, or bring your own).

While the nearest station is Millbrook, Southampton Central is only a little further away (1.23km); this has very much better services and all local bus routes connect with it.

Historic Interest

The pub's deeds dictate that there must be no dancing lessons taught and no pigs kept!
