The Jolly Farmer is everything you would want an English pub to be – charming, welcoming and cosy, with a wide selection of traditional classics on the menu and a host of quality real ales, wines and spirits on offer at the bar. Menus change regularly depending on the best fresh produce available. We thoroughly enjoyed the tender venison and succulent sea trout from the specials board, before devouring a melt-in- the-mouth chocolate brownie and moreish apple crumble for dessert, both served with homemade ice cream. As well as the main bar and restaurant, there is also a special area for parties, with menus and finger buffets catering for all tastes and budgets available. The pub is family friendly and the local shoot is known to pop in with the odd pheasant, showing that The Jolly Farmer really is at the heart of its community.

£25 Platform Tavern
Location Town Quay, Southampton, SO14 2NY t: 0844 683 6647 w:

With live blues evenings, relaxing Sunday jazz, an on-site microbrewery and a changing selection of real ales – not to mention an entirely home-cooked menu – Platform Tavern has multiple attractions. A range of hearty dishes is supplemented by an extensive specials board concentrating on Platform’s speciality: fresh fish. To start we had the chef’s own-recipe fishcakes in a crisp breadcrumb coating with creamy Parmesan risotto balls. We then sampled the wild trout and chorizo served with seasonal vegetables – simply delicious. Award-winning sausage and mash was also gorgeously cooked, with the meaty, subtly spiced sausages absolutely deserving of their accolade and drizzled with rich gravy. With some rip-roaring blues music to complete the evening, we’ll definitely be hot-footing it back to Platform Tavern.
Open: Sun-Weds noon-11pm; Thurs-Sat noon-midnight Food Served: Mon-Weds noon-3pm, 6pm-9pm; Thurs-Sun noon-9pm
