I guess this is the norm in southampton, but only orange have i been asked why im on my own! Like all other places in southampton, its a small venue, mainly funk music which is great if your into just relaxing. I just dont bother with this place or any other place in southampton cant wait when my course finishes in june so i can move back to london where there are more than one cool trendy bars to go to with a more mature crowd.

The bouncers can be a bit weird about the slightest thing. Its also not particularly cheap unless you go on nights with deals on, but that comes with the territory in my opinion, nice for those special nights out and a good warm up bar for Junk on London Road.

The Walnut Tree is a large and spacious country-style pub next to the main road junction in the…read morevillage of Runcton, a few miles south of Chichester. It's very popular at week-ends (especially Sunday lunch) and in the evenings. The original pub building has been much extended, and has several interconnected rooms, all decorated in a rustic style with bits of rural memorabilia. It also has a very pleasant and spacious beer garden, with a patio area and lawns shaded by mature trees, with lots of tables for outdoor eating and drinking. It's rather close to the roundabout, but this didn't spoil our visit (but, then, I had an excellent view of various motorbikes going past). It serves up to three real ales on handpump, and while the choices (Courage Best, Fuller's London pride and Adnam's Bitter) on our visit were not the most adventurous, they were decently kept. The pub is well known for its food: there is an extensive menu, ranging from pub fare such as baguettes, baked potatoes and ploughman's lunches, through to a substantial restaurant-style lunch and dinner menu. Vegetarians are also well catered for. The pub fare comes in the £5-£7 bracket, whereas a three-course meal with wine and service would (depending on your choices) set you back £35 a head and upwards. As we were there for lunch, we had the former, and some of our companions just opted for main course dishes. The food was perfectly good if unspectacular, with generous portions. (I was particularly pleased to have a decent slab of cheddar on my ploughmans). The pub itself has some history: it dates back to the early-19th century, and was originally on the banks of the Chichester-Ford section of the Portsmouth and Arundel Canal (the pub was used by the navvies who built the canal - it's rather more upmarket now). The Canal had a short working life and was defunct by the mid 1800s, with only a depression at one end of the garden to show it ever passed by here. There's a large car park and adjacent to stops on the 60 bus route from Bognor to Chichester: this runs (Mon-Sat) every 30 minutes during the day, and hourly in the evenings until around 23h, and hourly until around 18h on Sundays. It's about ten minutes from Chichester bus station and 25 minutes from Bognor Railway station.

The staff and owners are really friendly and great at making you feel welcome. Plenty of real ales and wines on offer to go with your meal. The menu changes with the seasons and is very dependant on what the chefs can source locally. I can highly recommend the roast chicken & chorizo salad as a starter, the flavours go so well together! For a main, I had the spicy beef stroganoff which was also really impressive.

Suffice to say that I will never again be going there and I will be advising all my friends in the area to avoid it too. I am utterly disgusted that visiting a pub means a fine for parking.

It tasted like a dive bar and not a chain restaurant, and did not taste as though everything was made on site.

I tend to order girly drinks a lot (like Malibu), and locals tend to put me off because I feel like I'd stick out too much, but the staff and landlady are really friendly and have a great sense of humour. I sometimes see families come here in the day on weekends, and for the most part it's a pretty relaxed place to hang out, even on busy nights. Some of the patrons can get a bit noisy when the footie's on etc but apart from that it's a good place to get some food. The pub's right on the edge of the precinct next to the walking subway near McDonalds, so it's easy to get to.
