I was told about this bar/cafe in the Calshot Activities Centre by a site regular so decided to check it out on what was one of the few sunny days we had recently.  Shame,  I was still too cold to sit outside because there were plenty of tables out there with great views of Southampton Water.  A wonderful position to watch the large cruise ships sailing by.  Inside you could also see the rock climbing walls so a very interesting place all around!  Very comfortable seating & friendly service.

We wanted to try out the Thai food as I believe one of the owners is Thai.  The dish on offer was Thai Chicken Red Curry served with steamed rice & available hot, med, or mild.  I opted for mild & my partner for hot.  He would have preferred his hotter but I enjoyed the flavour of mine & it was quite spicy enough for me. We started with mini Spring Rolls which were delicious.  I was a bit disappointed because I love Thai noodle dishes but none were available.  It is obvious that traditional pub grub makes up the majority of the menu & very good it looked too.  I saw wonderful baguettes piled high with bacon being served & very crunchy looking chips, I will definitely go again!  Would also be great just for a drink outside on a summer evening.  Wonderful base for a walk along the beach.

With a beer & a spritzer,
