The best restaurants serving British food in Sholing Southampton South East

My family and I often come to the New Clock. Cheap drinks, large wine list and plenty of food to choose from. Service is always impeccable, especially from the the host Abi

Friendly, arrived on St Patick day, loud but still, lovely, food to die for, with out having to do the washing up, This is 2nd time here will defo come again.

Booked a pod for a graduation celebration for 6 of us. Food was lovely and our waiter was so friendly and attentive - thank-you Matt!

Great food,staff were friendly and polite and food served in good time.Would have given five stars,but unlike the other lounges i`ve visited,they don`t give pour and give you your drink straight away,instead saying they will bring it to you,which in my case was when the staff member had finished serving everyone else.

Booked a table for lunch at 2.30pm on 6th July via pub website booking system (OpenTable). When we arrived we said we had a table booked and were told we could sit anywhere, so we got some drinks and sat down. I went to the bar and asked for the menu and was then told they had no booking for us and they weren’t serving food. Member of staff behind the bar asked if we had booked online and when I said yes she told me ’oh the online system doesn’t always work - we’ve got crisps if you’re hungry’. Frankly she couldn’t have cared less that we already had drinks but couldn’t get any food - in fact she was quite rude. Staff are unhelpful, serve regulars in front of other customers, music was incredibly loud for lunchtime and overall a very unwelcoming atmosphere. Certainly won’t be going back…

Bill arrived at the end and they’d added on a bottle of wine that supposedly I had but definitely did not. I queried this but they refused to take it off and we had to pay. The server would have known we never had a bottle. Really dishonest and won’t be returning.

This place is dirty, tired, and even the toilets were dirty. If you are desperate for a comfort break, then you have no choice. But if not...drive on.
