The Bittern’s website states it is the place to be for live sport, a catch up with mates, or a cheeky pint after work – the hallmarks of any local boozer.

Another Southampton venue to get a recent inspection was the Mai Thai takeaway on Shirley road which serves authentic Thai cuisine.

After being visited by the Food Standard Agency on October 5 the takeaway was given a four star rating.

The restaurant offers a variety of options, including vegetarian and gluten-free alternatives.
