The 14th-century Grade I listed building has been, among other things, a wool store, a museum and an arts space. As a brew pub it now welcomes visitors from the local area, as well as tourists. Within 100 yards of the Registry Office, the first floor is available for private parties or special pub events. On Friday one keg beer may be passed through a Hop Randall (a container is fitted in line, between the keg and the glass) may be used to add extra Hop or fruit flavours. Sunday food is restricted to Sunday Roast (vegetarian options available). For other sessions solid house prepared snacks are available A stunning building with a newly reinstated slate floor (much better for brewing than the former parquet) and with plenty to look at as you enjoy your beer.
Pub opens at 11am Mon-Sat for coffee, bar opens at 12.
Historic Interest
Southampton's only Grade I listed pub. Historic England list UID: 1092060. The building has lots of history as Wool House was a former maritime museum etc. (full details can be found on their website). Built by Cistercian Monks from Beaulieu Abbey following the 1338 French raid on Southampton. It is the only surviving free standing medieval warehouse in Southampton. During the Napoleonic Wars it was used for French prisoners of war and some of their names can still be seen carved into the roof beams. The 20th century saw it used by boat builders and haulage contractors among others before becoming The Maritime Museum from 1966 to 2011.
