The multi-room layout of this pub survives, with two main bars, a bottle and jug, and a snug.  Both main bars have old counters.  A modern extension to the rear does not impact on the surviving historic fabric.

This must-visit pub is close to the wonderful 1922 electric railway on the pier to the Southampton ferry. It seems little altered in the last hundred years with three rooms, all with probably Victorian or early twentieth-century fittings plus a space for off-sales. A corridor (sadly with grim modern flooring) leads back from the front entrance. On the left is the ‘Trafalgar Bar’ which is entered through a pair of double doors; on the right is the ‘Victory Bar’. Both have their old bar counters. A little further back on the left there is the off-sales area (with half-height door-cum-htach) and adjacent to this a delightful small, screened snug, now named the ‘Poop Deck’ A rear extension was added in about 1990 but it impacts little on the historic core: it was further extended in 2006 to create an even larger room with views over the Solent and its shipping.
