Suffice to say, we weren't dissapointed - really good hearty country grub, so rich and tender, cooked with love. It's a bit more expensive than other gastropubs or restaurants, but so worth it! We went on a Wednesday and it was pretty quiet. If they could improve one thing it would be to add a little more atmosphere - there wasn't any music when we went, and this made people a bit self conscious I think. But the service, for a restaurant of this quality, was refreshingly unpompous! Worth the trip.

Two servers really helped us out throughout our two night stay, Archie (who had only started a day before we came in) was great, very sweet and an excellent server. Also Bryony was excellent, she's a wonderful server with an awesome personality. The food was amazing, the fish and chips was by far the best I've ever had, and I work at a seafood restaurant!! Rooms are small but very cozy and they make you feel at home. Pub offers a lot as well, the manager has an extensive knowledge of drinks and what goes well with what. Definitely stay here if you're passing through Newbury or you're headed to Highclere Castle, it's only a ten minute cab ride up to the castle.

Not only is it the last known address of the last body pulled from the wreck of the Titanic (James McGrady), it is also where Jack Dawson (Leonardo DiCaprio) won his ticket on the ill-fated voyage and is featured on the movie. Great selection of all the old pub favorites offered up by a jovial proprietor.

I stumbled upon this cozy pub while casually walking around the seafront of Southampton. The…read morechalkboard sign had a picture of the Titanic (afloat) and said it was something about it being "The Titanic Bar from the Movie" - which immediately peaked my curiosity. I entered through the rear door and it was dimly lit, with a small hallway to the main pub and a staircase to the upper level where the kitchen and toilets were located. There were two rooms of the pub, each with a bar and tables/booths. There was one bartender working, named Roo. He was so fun to talk to!! He told us about the history of the bar, the area, and gave us recommendations of places to sight-see during our brief trip to Southampton. He also had amazing beer/drink recommendations. We ended up talking to one of the regular patrons, who highly recommended the fish & chips. He was not lying, it really was *THE BEST* fish & chips I had during the entire trip. Really fresh fish and chips, really delicious!! It was the best I've had, ever I believe. The space is dimly lit, full of fun trinkets and memorabilia, and has a lot of character. I lost my mind for a moment when I found newspaper articles dated April 2012 from when the Titanic set sail and when it sank. THE newspaper articles. Adhered to the wall with scotch tape (!!). I asked Roo about the lack of preservation/security of these notable pieces of history and his response was, "nobody is going to take that, this is England!" Overall, a really fun experience and amazing fish & chips. I recommend and would 100% return if I was in Southampton again.
