Had a lovely dinner with friends. The food was really good, especially the steak. It is a bit pricey, but the vibe was perfect for a catch-up. We stayed for ages just chatting.

Been coming here for years, and the Goan fish curry is always spot on. Just the right level of spice, never overpowering. It&#39;s the one dish I keep coming back for.

The Korean chicken burger and dirty Texan BBQ fries were spot on, coffee was good too. Loved that they had blankets for the outdoor seating&mdash;made a breezy evening much cosier.

The French onion soup was really rich, and the monkfish tail had this great sauce. But honestly, what stuck with me was the room itself &ndash; the lighting was so soft and the chairs were actually comfortable for a long dinner. Just a nice, relaxed spot.

Focused menu, creative dishes. Prices are very reasonable for the quality you get. Had a quick lunch there, food came out fast. Solid spot for a good bite.

First time trying their lamb shank. It was so tender it just fell apart, with this deep, rich flavour that wasn&#39;t too heavy. Really hit the spot on a chilly evening.

Keep coming back for the pies, they&#39;ve got real character. The space itself is clean and has a nice, relaxed vibe that just works. It&#39;s the kind of place you can settle into.

We had an absolutely gorgeous meal. We were celebrating our wedding anniversary and we couldn&rsquo;t have chosen a better venue.Only staying in Climping for two nights, we chose the Oyster Catcher not knowing what we would be faced with. The pub is welcoming and inviting in smart but casual surroundings. The staff were attentive, friendly and polite without being pushy or insincere.Our meal was sensational, tasty Chicken Curry for him and Garlic Lamb Skewer for me. Fabulous! Thank you for making our celebration all the more memorable.

Helpful staff and the free parking out back is a real plus for a quick lunch. Steak burger was solid.

The paella was a lovely first try for me. I really enjoyed the variety of meats in it. The staff were very friendly and attentive, which made the whole experience quite relaxing.

BYOB and no corkage, so we grabbed a bottle on the way. Food was solid. Just a heads up, it&#39;s cash only or bank transfer &ndash; no cards. Had to sort that out at the end.

First time in Southampton, tried this steakhouse. The steak itself was really good quality. I appreciated that the booths were quite spacious and comfortable, made it easy to just relax and enjoy the meal. Service was friendly without being overbearing.

The Meat Feast takeaway pizza was spot on. Really generous with the toppings, and that stone-baked base had a perfect crisp to it. The veggie one looked great too. Just what we needed.

Loved the vibe here! The warm lighting and all the plants made it feel so cosy. Perfect for a chilled midweek catch-up with friends. We ended up staying for ages just chatting.

Love the vibe here, always feels like a proper local spot. Staff are genuinely friendly, happy for a quick chat. Nice mix of regulars and new faces, makes it a comfy place to drop into.

Came back for the lunch special. The beef stew had a deep, slow-cooked flavour, with carrots that were soft but not mushy. The gravy was rich, maybe a touch salty for some, but it soaked into the mash perfectly. That&#39;s what brought me back.

Nice spot by the water. The vibe is really good. Had the grilled fish, looked great on the plate and tasted good too. A bit pricey for what it is, but a solid meal.

Came for the lunch set, &pound;15 for three courses. The portion sizes were generous, especially the main. Couldn&#39;t finish my dessert, which is rare for me. Good spot if you&#39;re hungry.

Goat curry was rich and tender, a solid intro to African food. Live music was a nice touch, cocktails were decent. Service was a bit slow on a busy Friday night.

The staff here are so nice! It was packed when we went, but they still checked in with us about the wait. Really appreciated that.

Booked for a group meal. The staff handled our large table really smoothly, which was a relief. Everyone seemed happy with their food, and the presentation was lovely. Just a nice, easy evening.

Came here on a Thursday night, place was packed. Ordered the lamb shank, it was huge! Honestly, the portion was so generous I couldn&#39;t finish it. For the price, you&#39;re definitely getting your money&#39;s worth.

The staff here are so lovely. Tianah and Ruby were both really friendly and attentive, which made the whole evening feel relaxed and easy. It&#39;s nice when the service is just right, not too fussy but always there when you need something.

The open kitchen is a nice touch, you can see everything being prepared. Staff were really friendly. Food was excellent, especially the pasta. The place itself is nicely decorated, feels modern but cosy. Would go back.

The hot and sour soup was just right, not too fiery. The satay and soupy noodles were good, but the duck was a bit dry for my taste.

Came here for a quiet lunch. The wine list was decent, a few nice options. Service was good, they left us to it which was nice. Just felt the prices were a bit steep for a weekday lunch, especially in the off-season.

Booked for nine last minute on a Friday, and they squeezed us in. The portions were huge, everything tasted fresh. Staff were really friendly. Made for a nice birthday dinner.
