The British country pub is an institution as beloved as any in the country, but – pretty much by definition – one has to travel a decent distance from the metropolis to find one worth the visit. Not so in Southampton. The Rockstone on Onslow Road has the traditional decor and laid-back atmosphere of a friendly rural pub, yet it is famed for its gourmet burgers, street food, beautiful desserts, and a remarkable selection of craft beer, cask ale and spirits. They’re just a short walk to the north of the city centre and well worth the effort of wandering up – just remember to book ahead to ensure that you can secure a table.
