Smugglers has just started doing food so they were a bit hurried and stressed. But they did a great job. There is a wood burner which is always a bonus, helps you feel cosy. We ordered vegetarian mousaka and roast vegetable pasta. Both meals were really tasty but one weird thing was the roasted vegetable pasta had large rings of leek pretty undercooked in it. Strange, it didn't seem to go with the rest of the meal. The staff were very friendly and the atmosphere was good. It was pretty busy with a few looking around looking for a table. Large car park.

I started with a half pint of Folly Road lager (recommended by the server), which was refreshing, light, and super easy to sip. Then came the fish & chips, and honestly it was one of the best I've had anywhere. The portions were wildly generous, and the fish was perfectly golden-fried with crispness that creates a loud crunch as you bite into it. The plump fish was tender, flaky and moist. The dish comes with mushy peas too. I appreciated that they set you up with salt, pepper, and malt vinegar so you can season everything to your taste, and you can request tartar sauce that's light, creamy, and great for dipping. Service was friendly and efficient, making the whole visit feel warm and effortless.

Logan, our server, went above and beyond--something that rarely happens enough for me to remember a server's name. As first-time guests, Logan guided us through the menu with care, helping us choose dishes we'd enjoy. He checked in to make sure we were happy with our selections and even served us the most incredible lemonade I've ever had at a pub. It was refreshing and perfectly balanced--a highlight of the meal! The pub itself is full of charm, housed in a historic building steeped in character. Adding to the experience were the many Charles Dickens decorations adorning the walls--a fun nod to the famed author, who hails from this town. The literary touches tied everything together, giving the space a distinct and playful personality. We shared a variety of dishes, including the fish and chips, chicken schnitzel, and a BBQ kebab. Each dish was flavorful, generously portioned, and perfect for sharing. Between the welcoming ambiance, delicious food, exceptional service, and the literary flair, this visit was a delight from start to finish. I live too far away to be back, but I for sure will tell others to check it out.

The seating hostess/waitress promptly greeted us and told us that we could sit wherever we wanted. We chose an outdoor table that overlooked the water. The menu listed foods such as eggs Benedict and pancakes and drinks such as smoothies, teas, coffees, and mimosas. I ordered the Mango Dream Smoothie (mango, pear, and apple; 4.5 stars) as well as the Pancake Fruit Stack (5 stars), small buttermilk pancakes topped with strawberries, blueberries, pomegranate, and maple syrup. I very much enjoyed their flavors. My husband ordered the Bumper Full English (4 stars), which consisted of fried free-range eggs, smoked back bacon (not crispy like American bacon), butchers sausages (a bit dry), mushroom, plum tomato, Heinz baked beans (different sauce), black pudding (not too bloody-tasting), hash browns, and bread. Our waitress made us wait a long time to pay. The total price was $41 pounds plus gratuity.

It was a lovely day, so we decided to dine outdoors. They had a large drink menu full of wines, cocktails, mocktails, and smoothies. Prices seemed very reasonable. My husband ordered a pint of Peroni and I ordered an Aperol Spritz. The drinks came out quickly and since we asked for water; our server also brought us an entire pitcher of lemon water at no charge. For our lunch my husband ordered the Blue Cheese and Truffle Burger, and I ordered the BFC chicken sandwich. They were priced at £17.50-18.50 and both came with a large side of fries. The BFC sandwich consisted of super crispy fried chicken and a hash brown patty that was topped with a delicious special sauce. It was a little messy; but so worth it! I ate the whole thing! My husband said his Blue Cheese Truffle Burger was perfect, and that the portobello mushroom was delicious! We did not have a reservation; but there was no problem getting a table at about 3:00 on a Saturday. They had plenty of servers working and the service was exceptional. I would highly recommend a trip to Banana Wharf for a meal or even just drinks if you're visiting Southampton!
