The Chilworth Arms - Southampton

I lunched with girlfriends. Service was attentive and on time One of our group said her food had gone cold too quickly. I suspect the food was served on a cold plate. Please serve food on hot plates. The final bill was debited by 10.00 taking in the cold food complaint which was recognised. All the food was of good quality . There was a good choice of dishes and we would recommend it.

All good until we got to paying the bill. We were splitting it in 2 but not evenly. It was confused by the automatic addition of a service charge not included on the bill. Disappointing.

The restaurant had coffee stains and was not very clean, could use a fresh coat of paint. The glasses were dirty and should either be cleaned thoroughly or replaced with new ones. The menu looked good and the prices were fair. The service was excellent, and the food was delicious. Definitely worth a visit, but make sure to book in advance as it is popular with older diners.

The food was delicious and the service was excellent. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone.

Lovely food in a sunny pub garden. What’s not to like!
