Awards

We have an amazing number of CAMRA beer awards. You can see some of them through the gallery window by the lift.

We have been voted BEST PUB IN SOUTHAMPTON for the last 4 years and received BEST DESIGN IN THE SOUTH back in 2016 for what we did with an unloved and empty building.  Check out the before and after photos in our photo gallery.

Our restaurant was voted Best Restaurant in Southampton back in 2018 – this accolade came from Time Out Magazine.

Our Vaults and Vino evenings with SEE Southampton gained us a Silver in the BEAUTIFUL SOUTH TOURISM AWARDS IN 2018 and most recently, although we didn’t win, we did get into the finals of The Casual Dining Restaurant and Pub Awards for the Menu Innovation award, so we are pretty chuffed and look forward to winning next year!
