Wainwright Amber keg is being served through a fake real ale handpump. It is not naturally cask conditioned and is excessively chilled for a cask ale.
Pleasant airy upstairs bar and restaurant with light wood décor and excellent views over the River Hamble. There is also a conservatory leading to a small outdoor terrace, suitable for families. Dogs welcome on the ground level terrace. The menu offers fish, steaks, burgers and salads, supplemented by sandwiches at lunchtime 12 to 5pm and a breakfast menu from 8.30am. Its main appeal is for the visiting and local yachting fraternity.
This venue has been flagged by CAMRA volunteers as using a misleading dispense method to serve beer.
This is a 'Fresh Ale' - a keg beer served through a cask handpump. Find out more here Handpump Hijack.
If in doubt, we recommend that you Ask if it's Cask before making a purchase.
