Duke of Wellington in Southampton is your quintessential old-school neighborhood pub that has…read moresurvived through the ages - cozy ambiance, historical furnishings, and that classic British charm. 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.

While planning our vacation, I added this spot as a must-see location and I'm glad I did. There's very little seating in this place, so if you get there while it's busy, you might not find a place to sit. We were early (4:30P) and had no issues. Kitchen doesn't open until 5:30P, so we just enjoyed beer until then. When we were able to order we split the steak & ale pie. Really, really good and huge portion. Thanks to reviews we knew that the portion sizes were huge - so splitting was already something we wanted to do. Service was really good / quick. The ladies that work there are amazing. Seems to be a good mix of locals and tourists. Highly recommend.

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!
