Once again, eating at Regina’s was a real pleasure. In recent months we’ve found eating out in the Southampton area has become quite unpleasant - poor quality food, poor service and increasingly high prices. Regina has retained the essentials - the welcome was good, the service, exemplary and the food, superb.

Perfect destination - met friends for a Christmas get together. Started with a few drinks at the bar before seating at our table in the original pub area by a lovely open fire. Very congenial service. We weren't the easiest group to deal with but the person who took our order handled us with utter professionalism and good humour. It made for a memorable afternoon . We will be back. ps slow roast leg of lamb for two is sensational. A must for any meat eater.
