Bill's - Southampton

I often struggle with the idea of dining at a chain restaurant while on the road, but it's difficult to resist when you've been wandering around all day.

The beautiful Elizabethan architecture is a delightful sight from the exterior, and the interior is warm and inviting, with a charming modern twist.

It was a busy night at the restaurant. The manager allowed us to be seated as long as we agreed to eat quickly. This was not an issue for us. I ordered the Shepherd's Pie - it was decent, but there wasn't much meat in it.
